The Parasitic Woman.

The heaviest burden today on pro-
ductive America, aside from the bur-
den imposed by vicious industrial
system, Is that Of its non-productive
women. They are the most demand
ing portion Of our society. They
spend more money than any other
group, are more insistent In their
cry for amusement, are more resent
full of interruptions of their, pleasures
and excitements, go to greater ex-
tremes of Incidence and uneaslness.
The really serious side to the exist
ence OF this parasitical group is that
great numbers Of other women, not
free, forced to produce, accept their
standards of life. We hear women,
useful women, everywhere talking
about the Instability OF not being
able to do anything, commissioning
women who must work, commiserat-
ing those who have heavy household
responsibilities, and by the whole
glst Of their words and acts influence
ing those younger and less experienced
than themselves to believe that hap
piness lies In irresponsible living

LITTLE GIRL LOSES pIsoA,N FoR
THE Bows. I;
Conversion Comes Through Disaster
to Her Doll When She Undertakes
to Throw Brick at
Maraudins Dogs.

"Do you see that little girl?" asked
the old bachelor, as he leaned upon
his gate and halted me in my morning
walk Yesterday she was all for
woman's rights, but today her views
are of different complexion.
He nodded toward four-year-old
who was wandering with lonely and
disconsolate air along the edge of the
sidewalk
she lives in that little shack over
there, and she hasn't much to play
with, but she's well brought up and
her mother has taught her to flock by
herself and not chum with street boys
and girls. Some one gave her doll
and doll buggy, and she's been out
with it every fine day az proud and
happy as a queen. Shes scared to
death, though of two small dogs that
live across the street and come sniff
ing around her and her baby. The
boys, too, tease her sometimes, but
they throw stones at the dogs and
chase them away.
Yesterday she was pushing her
buggy along and singing to herself
when the dogs ran out She halted
and watched them approaching Then
she made up her mind she'd chase
them herself instead of squealing for
the boys.
so she stood In front of the buggy
and picked up piece Of brick. 1t
was pretty heavy for her, but she
threw her arm back the way she'd
seen the boys do and hurled It with
all her might She shut her eyes
tight as she threw, so as not to wit
ness the humiliation of the dogs, I
guess and probably she thought tho
crash that followed was the breaking
of their bones. but when she opened
her eyes the enemy was unhurt and
coming right on. Then she turned to
fly, but when she looked into her
buggy the yell that arose brought peo-
pie to the windows for block around.
"She had thrown the brick behind
her and smashed her doll to finders.
''Hcr mother came and bore her off,
wailing at every step and today she
is quiet. as you see, but It is plain her
heart as we'll as her doll is broken.
Yesterday I thought would teach
her how to throw stones, but today
I've changed my mind. Irn going to
get her new doll. I think she'll
leave the dogs to the boys in future"
