1t seems that in mounting the

the rear portion having descended the

BETTER THAN SUPPORT.

Nor lose one happy day.
Fortune will neer return sweet joys
Neglected, thrown away,
Nor leave one tender word unsaid
Thy kindness SOW broadcast
The mill will never grind again
WITH the water that is past.
When a maid is in her early teens
the worlds outlook appears bright and
rosy to her. She has no care, no trou-
bIes. Her one thought is enjoyment
an0 making the most of it.
II her folks are not well-to-do, the
first serious thought that confronts her
is what a help she would be to her
loved ones if she could but turn her
graceful dancing to account or have
her much praised voice heard in pri-
waite entertainments.
Some of her family suggests why not
marry nice young man who would
shoulder her support and lifes wor-
ries? The maiden in her early teens
laughs that notion to scorn.
Marry for support! Not she! She
has seenlno one who has as yet awak-
ened her sleeping heart. She has the
notion that no girl should marry and
settle down until the fun of being a
merry, rollicking girl is quite over.
She would live a life free as bird S,
fitting here and there as fancy wills.
The Gagged bird is housed and fed, but
shel watches her sister birds in thei-gI
freedom 2nsiittlha-S,sr heart in her eyes and
wings almost broken from beating
against her gEded bars.
The young girl watches with admi-
ration the fair saleswomen who have
their own money to use as they please.
and who board where they like. Her
eyes follow the troops of young women
from factory and shops. They don't |
have to ask odds of any man and put
up with anything and everything for
support. When it comes to marrying,
those girls will not take husband I'M |
less it is love match, pure and sim
PIE. The young girls with those no
tione are the ones that forge ahead in |
the world. Later on, we see them as
buyers for great mercantile businesses
and the heads of departments, and all
high positions which the bachelor girl
proudly fills. They have done better
than to marry for support; they have
been true to their womanly principles
that love alone should warrant mar
riage There is little or no congeniali-
ty between the couples who marry on
one-sided affection. The wife grows
weary Of her thankless position all too
soon. Ten to ore, it ends in the d.
gorce court.
