ARE BUSINESS GIRLS GOOD
HOUSEWIVES?

HOUSEWIVES?
Il tell you, Jack, If you would wed,
Just get girl who lets things run;
She'll keep her temper like lamb,
And help you on to lots of fun.
Don't look for money, style or show,
Or blushing beauty. ripe and rare,
Just tal7e the one who laughs at fate,
Vino laughs and shows she doesn't
care"
There are more business girls at
the present time than we ever knew
of In the past. They are sensible CO.
ahead girls, whose thoughts are not
entirely upon men and marriage from
start to finish. Most Of them have,
by ambition and close attention, at
tanned good positions; earn enough to
pay well their expenses and possibly
to put by q little for the proverbial
rainy day.
It is usually the girl whs makes
good living in the work-a-day world
who comes in contact with suitors and
hesitates over offers of marriage.
There are numbers of men who seek
for wives but who dare not incumber
themselves and their modest incomes
by going to the altar with young
women who are not willing or capa-
BILE of making brave self denials, If.
need be, for loves sake, in their early
married lives.
They want girls of wisdom, with
common sense and prudence, fairly
good housekeepers, careful managers,
while they are striving to make their
first hard start battling in the cold
world Of keen opposition. They fight
shy of proposing marriage to girls
who are influenced wholly by fashion,
dancing or flirting, gay of aimless,
who has not considered that the dear
one whom he would marry may have
to prepare daily, with her own hands,
a meal, pudding, darn socks, or trim
a lamp.
/ There is a reason for curtailing
every unnecessary expense in the
Household, If the first struggle Of
married life would be success and
bring cheer to the tried hearts that
in after years will not be forgotten.
A curious summing up reads that
numbers of girls who have studied
domestic science in many schools of
that kind, offering the course of COM
iplete home-making, stand a-chanSe.
Of running into family troubles with
their husbands only once in one hun.
dred and six times, it has been tabu-
lated. The girl who does not take
this work may run into domestic trou-
BILE one time in seven. While medical
examination is required of all brides
and bridegrooms alone. The girl will
be obliged to show that she is a
trained home-maker.
Happy marriages result most al
J ways from good housekeeping. The
young business woman who still keeps
|. her business position after marriage
!. and is deeply concerned in running
her household as it should be, quite
often meets with disappointment
, hard to bear. She cannot be at both
. places. To one or the other she must
devote her best energies. Her bust
ness always keeps her alert; every
} thing must be conferred on what Is TO
be done there. She is tired when she
! enters her home at the close of the
s'av and begins to pick up the duties
|. there which face her on every side.
} Something will be apt to go wrong
with the best regulated domicile when
ones away; something will grieve the
J. hearts of the loved ones there who
i have waited for the step which came
} at last. Throwing of hat and cloak,
/ her duties begin. If she has happy
song on her lips and joy in her heart,
; that she is able to lift helping hand,
all goes merry with her. If she is
thankless for home and love, that
which cheers she never knows. The
: motto should ever be on bps and fill
hearts with love and content: There's
: no place ike home"
