There's No Reason WHY a
Woman Should Give
Up a Good Job.

It's an Anticipated idea that
doesn't fit into our scheme of
modern life, and the sooner we
realize it the better.
There's no reason why a wom-
an who has got good job should
give 1t up when she marries any
more than there is why a man
should
Nor IS there any sensible argu-
ment against a wife, who must
help her husband, helping him in
the way that is most agreeable to
her.
There's been a great falling off
in matrimony in this generation
because SO many people still hold
to the idea that wife should be
a parasite and that a man should
not marry until he is able to sup
port such an ornamental luxury.
But there will be plenty Of mar
rying in the next generation. be-
cause every girl will be self-sup-
porting, and when a man mar
ries, instead Of acquiring a burden
10 support, he will get a bust
ness partner who will be real
helpmate.

full of hope, and enthusiasm, and
romance. and adaptability
To say to any young couple that
they must wait through dreary
years while the bloom of their af-
lection is rubbed off, and the
glory and the circling wings fade
away from their romance, be-
cause convention DEGREES that a
woman shall be shut up in her
house when she works after mar
riage, is not only idiotic, it is a
crime.
For the only way in this day
and under present economic con-
ditions that the poor young man
and his sweetheart can venture
into matrimony is by pooling
their pay envelopes and both con-
tinuing to earn money.
And why shouldn't they. pray?
The father, who is so shocked
at the idea Of his daughter earn
ing money to help her husband
outside of the home. would think
that she was doing no more than
her duty by working to help him
within the home. If she married
poor man he would expect her to
do her part by doing the cooking
and washing and ironing and
scrubbing and sewing. He would
think it all right for her husband
to accept this strenuous labor
from the girl.
1t happens that this girl has
been trained TO "A profession that
she delights in, whereas she
ldathes domestic labor.

If she did her own Homework
she would be at hard labor, bend
ing over a dashboard or a gas
range Her hands would be sod
den and rough and she would
spend her time doing over and
over a dreary round of monoto-
nous duties, with no companion
ship, nobody with whom to ex-
change thoughts and ideas, and
keep her keyed up to her highest
intelligence.
Which way of helping her hus-
band Is the easier, the more
agreeable, the one that the girl
would choose herself? Yet GUS
tom has demanded that the wom-
an take the harder end, and held
that it reflected on her and the
man if she went on with the work

and turned the money she made
into the family eXcheouer instead
of turning in the labor of her

SAVING A BOY WORTH WHILE.

Editor The Georgian:
The writer knows a young man
who. in 1905, when only a child
pleaded guilty to the theft OF a
small amount of jewelry from a
room in hotel in which he was
employed. He was sent to the
Children's Village at Dobbs Fer
ry, which is under the control OF
the New York Juvenile Asylum.
In that institution he spent two
years, making a record never be-
fore or since equaled. He was
tested In every way, and was at
all times found to be honest. To
the superintendent. Mr., Guy Nor
gan, he said that he was not
guilty of the crime charged
against him, but by pettifoggins
lawyer had been persuaded 10
plead guilty.
Leaving the institution, he 1T
orally fought his way through the
necessary schooling and into the
profession of dentistry. He no"
lives in Atlanta, Ga, and is rec
ognized as one of the rising young
citizens of that city. He recently
married the daughter of a we'll
known Atlanta family. Last
Christmas he brought his bride
to New York. and at the chill
dren's Village made an inspiring
talk to the boys now there. That
young man was worth a big IN
vestment.

BOUNDING HARRY THAW.

Editor The Georgian:
The attitude of your paper as
to the bounding of Harry K.
Thaw is commendable, per Sc. 1t
is the attitude of every red blood
ed American.
Harry Thaw was degenerate,
concededly. But when he married
a girl and tried to shield her
name, and Stanford White, a
metropolitan genius, forgot his
high education, his high standing
as a cultured, professional man,
and assumed the role of a banal
poltroon and publicly tried to
smirch the girl, Harry Thaw did
just as any sound American would
do, and punished such a miserable
rag.
The high rating of Stanford
White only intensified his actions.
How can w. Travers Jerome look
upon his acts in hounding-the
word bounding" seems simple
text-Thaw for Furnishing such a
man, however exalted his talents?
