LAURA JEAN LIBBEY'S DAILY
TALKS ON HEART TOPICS.
Are Business Girls wooed

A hear: though yourg and ofttimes gay.
For lack Of love may fade away:
It's own pure tide Is left to stray.
Then. nsary gone.
May meet a kindred heart one day.
And jJin in one
Ing and her days are given to smoothing
ou: the tangled affairs Of her employer,
why should she imagine she has lost any
attractiveness In the eyes of the would-be
lovers?
IL the average man could know OF the
daily routine of the girl whose time is
her own. his admiration for her might
sustain a severe shock. The business girl
is up with the sun In the morning and is
out in the clear. sparkling air, enjoying
to the full her rapid morning walk.
Storms have no dread for her. The man
who sees her tripping along knows that
her complexion Is natures own She has
no frills or fancy clothes to make \ pretty
frame for her. She is never to be found
at a restaurant. She takes her lunch in
neat little pa-kage. When she returns
home. she casts all thoughts of the days
cares from her. Then she is just a merry
hearted. fun-loving girl. fond of furbe-
lows and laceS craving admiration and
attention just as all girls do. Her enjoy
ment of anusements is more keen than
that OF the daughter of rich parents. who
idles away her day in mad pursuit of
something to keep her amused to kill
time. The business girl knows she has
nothing to fall back on if she makes a
mistake OF choosing a ne'er-do-well for a
lover. She knows the value of the sup
port. Her sensible conversation is mt
attractive TO the man who is fiippant and
Is used to talking to girls who have little
brains Whn like fa nil

Her Last Chance.
The business girl would rather live the
independent life she is leading than waste
her time with unsuitable wooers. II there
is a single man of excellent habits and
temperament in the place where she is
employed. he who has passed unscathed
through pleasant acquaintnnceship of
scores OF society bellies. he succumbs cas-
lily TO the attractions of the business girl.
He has every opportunity Of observing
her. She needs no chaprron, knowing
when to smile pleasantly and when to be
dignified. He gets so used to her near
presence that he feels lost without her.
What is more natural than that he should
transplant his flower from his office to
NOME
The average business girl turns down
moro offers of marriage in a year than
all the girls put together in society that
she knows. The man who is lucky enough
to secure a business girl for his wife
feels. no matter to what high station she
may be raised, that she will keep a level
head. No danger of her becoming
whirlwind spendthrift. scattering his
money right and left. She has compass
sion for him when he comes home from
the office tired. He can talk over busi-
ness matters with her. Her Judgment
will often save the day where his would
fail. II cook leaves. the girl who has
been used to getting her own breakfast
when she was single can step into the
kitchen and prepare his tempting break
fast herself. Tho man who wcds a bust
ness girl secures a treasure.
