WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
What About Ten Years From Now {!
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

How many of you think ten years
ahead?
Perhaps things are going along
nicely now. and you seem to have all yo;.
can do in keeping up with the present.
what with your work and your fun and
your necessities. Let the future take
care of itself. that expresses your no
ton on the subject.
All the same. it's worth giving a few
hours of earnest thought to those COM
ing ten years. Are they going to find
You better off. or not 50 well of:
Have YOU any part of Your present
time given to them! are your plans
only as far in the future as this even
ing"
II so. YOU are :naking one big mis-
take 1t is ten years from now that is
the really important consideration. If
YOU are working out scheme of life
that is planned with relation to the
next cycle rather than the present one
you are pretty sure to be better off ten
years from now. If YOU aren't, the like
lihood is the other way.
And don't run away with the notion
that life is rot going to seem SO sweet
Or SO important ten years from now: it
is gong to seem more so. Work with
the idea that you are going to give
yourself bigger opportunities in the fu-
ture than You have now. for you will
ind that you can use them better then
than now.
Train yourself into working for ten
years ahead. Make up your mind that
you will have some money in the bank
then. and put some in day by day to
make that determination real Decide
that you are going to be long way
ahead in your job ten years from nov
and do your work in a manner that will
make that decision real.
IL you aren't as strong as You ought
to be, II your health is net as assured
as it might be- look ahead ten years.
Are you going to be an invalid then, or
are you going to take yourself in hand
now and work for better health:
