ONE WOMAN To ANOTHER
The Girls That Make the Wrong
Start-The Perils of Impulsive
Youth-A Life Ruined at is.

1 was thinking the other day that
the trouble in most women's lives, is
that they start wrong. I don't mean
by this. my dears, that they necessar-
lily commit any offense against con-
vention or creed. But just that they
make one false step at the beginning
generally through impulse, upon which
they look back later with the deepest
regret. They long for what might
have been, had they not at the outset
taken the wrong turning.
Now / know of a case that I be-
lieve some Of my girl and women
friends, with whom I talk each week,
will recognize as replica of their
own experience. Or it may be the
know.
I'm not a bit of a "preachy' wom-
an. But this case sort of touched me.
I'm going to tell you about it, hoping
that some how or other the telling may
at least make the beginners stop and
wonder if the path ahead is just the
right one
The girl 1 know was the only child
of a well: to do widow, who adored
her daughter. The girl was given so
much freedom that one night, when
only fifteen years old, she walked off
and married a young man. He told
her that the marriage would be only
lived in another city.
Flattered ait his apparent wish not
to lose her, the girl consented. OF
course she found out when too late
that he wasn't at all the kind Of a
man she really desired as husband.
Her poor little mother, almost heart
broken at the deception, would have
had the marriage annulled, as the girl
was a minor. The latter, still acting
on a wrong impulse, persisted in re-
manning the mans wife, and a public
ceremony was performed.
Soon the mother died, leaving her
money absolutely to the daughter.
What was the result? Four years
saw the very comfortable sum of $780,
coo disS;pated by the husband. The
wife was Obliged to work to support
a drunkard, while girls of less prom
inence, who had listened to the advice
of their mothers, were in happy homes,
with pleasant social connections and
the prospect of affluent old age ahead.
or course there are some who argue
What will be-wiH be-" and who
would consider this girls fate pre-
destined But / don't, and it is be-
cause ! don't that I urge freer conf
dence between mothers and daughters.

secretary OF the commercial club, for
there are committees appointed who
can be reached by phone, and IL you
have a room that you can at all spare
for the next week or ten days, send
