DESIRE FOR "CAREER" IS
GREA TER THAN WISH FOR
Welded LIFE BY GIRLS

Just as Rev. D. Luther Edwards Of
the First Presbyterian church had
decided that young ladies OF his
flock were interested in matrimony.
basing his belief on the letter re-
ceived last week and published in The
Sentinel Saturday, he finds that out
of 10 letters submitted to him in
which the question was asked. What
is your greatest ambition in life?"
every single one of them chose a ca

1t will be recalled that some
weeks ago Reverend Edwards pre-
pared a list of 2 questions touch
ing the life of girls and asked for

50 prize, the adjudication to be made
by committee of three ladies' The
answers were read last night at the
evening service and Miss Elvira Peck.

-Four young ladies wrote to Mr..

ELWERT, CHAMPION BOWLER,

William Elwert, the veteran base
ball player who is making bid for
the individual championship of the
Western Bowling congress, now meet
ing in Chicago, is an old friend and
team mate of Harry Gossett of Mos
lander's parlors in this city.
Elwert and Gossett were members
of the Denver Brunswick team which
won the team championship at the
Western Bowling congress at Salt
Lake City in 1906.
Elwert was former third baseman
for the Denver leage, later trans
ferred to Toledo and is now manag-
ing the Montgomery, Ala, team in

stands, is .664.

nurse or deaconess. None selected
the joys of welded bliss and Rev
Edwards is wondering just where his
reasoning was at fault.
The answers, however. were sig
nificant in many ways. They show
ed the independence of feminine
thought in these days of woman suf-
frage and woman's advent into pro-
fessional fields. As the minister
pointed out, there was no longer fear
of being unable to support ones self
that a woman flew to the marriage
offer to avoid the poorhouse. There
was, however, a unanimity of liking
for domestic duties, although the
young ladies usually indicated GER
tain tasks which they chose in pref
erence to more arduous or uncongen-
ial labors.
The girls of the church were in
charge of the ushering last evening
and while the boys band was called
upon to provide much of the instru-
mental music, there was a general
desire expressed by the letter writ
ers that a girls orchestra or band be
formed in the church This may be
done as soon as competent leader
is found.
The church was crowded and the
service was hugely enjoyed by all.
