The Predominance of the Practical

lers. What wonder then, that they have
lost much OF their power TO inspire? Since
women have become mems pals" they
have ceased to be inspirations. Yet
there is no reason why this should be the
case. except that women go to extremes
in everything. Instead Of raising man to
their own level, they have decended to
his.
The selfish and mereenary spirit, which
seems to have crept into all sections OF
society must also be held responsible In
some measure for the disappearance Of
sentiment No ties bind mistress and
servant together, except those OF mutual
self-interest. There is little of the old
spirit Of loyalty on either side. Each
looks at thinks entirely from her own
standpoint. and fails to see the others
point OF view.
A great revolution has taken place in
the relations beween parents and children.
Paternal authority has lost much of It's
old-time power. Children no longer look
at their parents through a roseate hare
OF sentiment All the little fauls and
foibler OF their prosecutors are carefully
noted and strongly disapproved by the
rising generation. No modern father
need try to instil In his son a virtue which
he himself does not practice The care
fully fostered tradition that age is in
variably accompanied by wisdom and
piety has been shattered TO fragments.

Married Women as Wage Farmers
BY ad

| their hands and let their families staive

will compete with unmarried women?
Again, there are many young couples
who are in love and who could marry
comfortably on the combined earnings OF
both. but who must forever remain apart
IL the wife gives up her job on her we'd
ding day.
II a wife can help her husband more
by earning money than she can by cook
ing his dinner and washing his shirts Is
there any reason why she shouldn't do
IL? There are many cases in which a
mans future prosperity could be as
sured by his wife holding onto her Job
and bringing IN a little necessary money
for year or two after marriage.
Nor does II seem fair TO ask the woman
who has spent thousands OF dollars and
years OF time fitting herself TO follow
some profession or calling, TO give 1t up
Just because she marries and some single
woman would like to have her place.
a great deal OF the most valuable
work IN the world is done by married
women, because matrimony. whether IL
is happy or miserable, broadens a wom-
ems outlook and deepens her sympathy
and comprehension. Also the married
woman who is a wage-earner has set
tied down for a life job at whatever she
Is doing, an general thing. whereas the
girl worker Is looking forward to matri-
mony to emancipate her from slavery to
her yardstick or ledger. And Il would
be distinct loss TO the world IL IL were
deprived of the services OF It's married
women workers.
The real objection to married women
being wage earners is not that they COM
pete with young girls, but the moral ef-
feet II has on their husbands. There are
some men who are spurred on TO greater
efforts by the fact that their wives are
out In the world toilng, trying to help
them BY making money, but unfortun-
ately the majority OF husbands whose
wives can support them, let them do IL.
The statistics OF factory towns where
many women work IN the mills. show THAI
the men contribute very little TO the
family exchequer. They spend their
money on themselves. aud leave their
wives TO feed and cothe the family.
All OF this makes the problem OF tho
wage-earning wife one that cannot be
settled by any blanket rule. Ii has to be
worked out In each individual case on
its own merits, not by denying the mar
ried woman the right to compete with the
unmarried one.
But the lure of the business world il

pose. Every womans dream OF her own
home, her own fireside, her own man,
able with his good right arm to provide
