The Eternal Longing

She prefers the obligations Of

ing she must be home at to get
dinner for a husband than possess

where she pleases and eat in res

She longs for the JOY found only

therefore, would NOT say:
Tut, tut, child you don't know
when you are well off Put thoughts
of men out of your mind and do
something for the world"
would not say that to the girl.
She is lonesome now. How much
more lonesome she would be If she
started out with this longing in her
heart for a little nest of her own
crushed by the newer fashioned
ambition to save the world!
What She Should Do.
l would counsel her to keep her
ideal. her hope, her ambition and
never let the newer fashions
change 1t.
would suggest that she become
interested in some church or. So
cial organization on the West Side,
where she would meet young men
of her own nationality.
would urge that she guard her
ideal sacredly, and that until the
man who fits it comes along she re-
fuse to take any.
And l would ask her to know
that if the prince of her dreams
never materializes. being an old
maid isn't such terrible fate.
There are happy old maids. there
are useful old maids, and there are
old maids who have built for them
selves happy homes. without any
man to help or hinder
l would ask her to remember
that, while she wishes "a home and
all the blessings that go with it,
one should know all are not bless-
ings.
One who becomes wife must
know that it isn't to be all sunshine.
I would ask Discouraged Business
Girl" to remember that
And, at the last, / would urge
her always to bear in mind that
happiness is independent OF the
marriage ring. That little gold
band doesn't secure it. and neither
does it keep it out.
If woman is happy, useful and
content; if her life is made up of
more than means because she can't
change her condition, depends sole
ly upon HERSELF. It does not de-
pend upon having husband

tt is quite the fashion Of late to
say that the life of the spinster
is happier than that Of the wife.
There is almost a revolution on
the question of marrying. Some
generations ago 1t was said of
girl child: when she marries." 1t
is now said IF she marries," and
It is quite the thing in circles re-
garded as progressive to imply a
doubt that she will, and a hope
that she won't.
But all this agitation, this new
way of thinking. can never change
the fashion ordained when the
world began.
And that fashion was to love, to
marry. to bear children and to have
a home.
1t is the eternal longing In every
heart that is truly feminine. And
because 1t is the eternal longing,
and desire planted there by ma
ture, and which no new order Of
thinking can entirely uproot, | ask
sympathy for the girl who writes
me the following appeal:
81 am twenty years of age, and
very, very discouraged. ] live in
the heart of the East Side, where
none but foreigners abide. ] am
perfectly Americanized, having re-
ceived good education, and | now
hold a very good position But I
have very little chance of meeting
nice young men to my liking. Most
Of those with whom 7 come in con-
tact are foreigners who are none
too refined. and 1t appears that
am destined to be an old maid,
which I very mucn dread as my
one aim in life is a home of my
own, with everything that goes with
it in the way of blessings. What
am | to do?
DISCOURAGED BUSINESS
GIRL"
I can hear in fancy the voices of
those who advocate the new order
of things saying in very strident
lOItS4 1Ou can lIldllh lCdfOll SDh
are free, and have no man to tyran-
nize over you'll"
Doesn't Want To Be Free.
But the girl doesn't want to be
free! She is free now, to come and
go as she pleases. She is free to
spend her money without bubble
or question She is free to her own
opinions. She is free to dress as
she desires, without disturbing
thoughts of the money being need
ed for flour or bacon. She is free
to indulge her longings for the
beautiful without hampering mem
cries of the needed prosaic.
She is free for all these joys, and
more But she doesn't enjoy her
freedom.

mittee representation al Pierre this
week, under the provisions Of the
Richards party law. was merely pre-
liminary to an action for decision
by the supreme court upon 9 disput-
ed sectiono of the law.

fol, disappointment to the position of

lected forthe republican test. It was
duly approved and offered to the
secretary Of state efiice for filing and

rendered by the attorney general.
Upon the same grounds the assist
ant secretary rejected the fling of
