INSTRUCTIONS IN
WATER COLOR PAINTING
MRS. Delphinc Klndorf to Give Thor.
ough Course Of Instructions
In this High Glass Work.

Every girl In the world, whether she
! Is millionairess or q pauper, should
be taught some trade or profession so
! thoroughly that she could support her
self by practicing it if the necessity
ever arose. Not to do this is to do
her as great cruelty as her direst
enemy could suggest, and yet not one
parent in thousand takes this sim.
pie precaution to try to safeguard
their daughters future
Fathers and mothers excuse their
negligence in this matter by saying
that Mamie and Susie will get mar
ried, SO what's the use Of spending
money In teaching her a business
that she will never follow? They
speak as II marriage insured woman
against any possibility OF want or pow
erty. Yet they see about them dozens
Of married women who have to sup
port sick or. trifling husbands, or
whose husbands die and leave them
widows with house full Of children
to be provided for.
Parents Should See to it That
Daughters Learn Some
Trade.
Such catastrophes are likely to be-
fall any girl, no matter whom she
marries. Misfortune, disease death
are no respecters Of persons, and
many a young woman who has begun
In palace has ended her life in a
poorhouse.
When this is true, what right have
parents not to do all that they can to
insure their daughters against want
by teaching them some way to make
money? If they. never need to sup
port themselves, 1t certainly does
them no harm to learn how, and it
gives them an added sense of self-re-
spect, while If the necessity ever
comes to them to provide for them
selves they have weapon ready to
their hand with which to fight their
battle for bread
No man would feel he had done his
duty by his own son unless he saw 70
1t that the boy was given some means
by which to earn living. But he
sends his daughter out into the world
with no knowledge and no trained
skill by which she can make a penny.
Because she has not been taught
the right way to make living, be-
cause she is bungler whose un.
skilled labor will not bring her
enough to live on in decent comfort,
is the chief reason why many girl
turns in disbursement and despera-
ton to what has been called THE
easiest way If she had been trained
to some trade or profession by whic
she could support herself in comfort
she would have been glad to have
lived honestly.
