AVE PRIVILEGE OF CREATiOl
Consolation for Women Who Do Ncs
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
bout love. They are allowed to read
owe stories at tender age and form
totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
very early age. They begin trying
o captivate, to charm. to enslave the
opposite sex, before they are out OF
he nursery. They live and die
1,any, MANY lof thelh-without ever IL
le least understanding the truth
bout love or, in fact. about anything
.lse
Women are very envious by na ature.
there seems to be plenty of iustifica-
ion in this one way you look ct it,.
Why should one woman have iuyury.
sase, travel society and fine clothes
nd another. woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation?
This is a useless question We
cannot explain the inequalities OF life,
but there is an answer to the woman
Who asks this question. 1t is this:
The more barren the field the greater
tle privilege OF creation. You nave
chance to see what you can find by
The way of joy and beauty; you have
IN opportunity to create your own at
mosphere and it can be very lovely
one If ycu learn the secret of making
I so.-Pittsburg Leader

fine white linen. which was turned up
two Or three inches over the lower
edge of the velvet: a blue damask
gown lined with silk; white silk
stock; a white satin embroidered
waistcoat. black satin small clothes,
white silk stockings and red morocco
slippers.
