mites, Her Belief.

| things in the world to discover that
she does not marry always for tho
love of home and children, but merely
to be married. and taken care Of. This
girl does everything possible to avoid
having a family. Such a procedure is
not only injurious TO her health, but
there comes time when she would
give anything in the world for
children of her own; and TO forget as
well as she can that there are none,
she plunges more than ever into
pleasures that are trying on the con-
stitution. This lack Of maternity and
avoidance Of having children is making
the American woman old before her
time, and unless there is a change In
. few generations We will surely have
very unhealthy and old set of
women In the country.
"Now, take the other side Of the
question, the real business woman. She
enters the world of affairs with high
hopes. She does not count the handi-
cap she Is under regarding her sex. A
man may work more hours and harder
than a woman and keep young. When
the feminine strength is overtaxed the
result is a woman old in mind and tired
in spirit, long, long before her time.
when a woman undertakes serious
things she must work as a man does;
there Is absolutely no reason why she
should expect concessions to be made
to her because she Is a woman. Plac-
ing herself in this position there is no
doubt about it but that she becomes
old quicker than she would were she
not placed to meet men under such
conditions. Long before the American
business woman becomes old in appear
ance she becomes so in mind, and II
there is one thing quicker than another
that will bring the appearance Of age
on her it is this mental strain.
This woman must remain unmarried
II she retains her place in her chosen
work. She cannot successfully serve
TWO masters, ana IL Is DeJtert one might
almost say, that she does remain I'M
married than, married, neglect her
home or shirk maternity.
Don't women know that children
keep them young? Don't they realize
that with each child their youth is re-
newed? Don't they understand that
their minds are kept sweet and fresh
by their little ones, and that caring for
home and children is the best mis-
sion a woman can fill?
when | hear a young woman re-
Gently married remark that she has
no time for children, look into the
future for her and see lonely old
age, and what is sadder than this?
Without children, without perhaps hus-
band or even close friends left to her,
she drags out her weary years; then is
the time she looks back, too late, on
what might have been.

It was a wall Of woe-of need OF

Do you think it strange that. amid

and may be hung through on to the
wrong side of the screen, the fastening
being invisible. Such a rejuvenated
screen just finished for the nursery of
a summer home had the entire wood
frame enamelled in white, the old COW
ering concealed with a layer Of blue
and white striped awning cloth. with a
horizontal stripe of the blue separat-
ing the upper portion of each panel. In
these panel tops different copies of ia
nous pictures are hung from time to
time and the children's bedtime stories
have their nucleus in whatever picture
is the most full of interest. By having
a picture by the same artist in each
section, even a small child will soon
learn to associate certain subjects with
a particular name. For very young
children the nursery screen can be
decorated with amusing cut-outs Of
animals.
Where the folding screen is to be
used in a bedroom or boudoir, an ex-
cellent idea is to insert cheaply framed
looking glasses in the panel tops of the
screen, resulting in a triple mirror ar
rangement, sure to be appreciated by
the occupant of the room. Standing
with ones face toward the centre panel,
it is easy to adjust the sides Of the
screen so that comprehensive view of
the couture and neck dressings is OBJ
tanned.

What Mrs. Barr believes:
Men may do without God, but women cannot.
America is likely to develop of prematurely
old women.
Business women grow old in mind quickly, and it
shows in their faces.

Women are driving away from marriage.

Irwin. "How can we guard our sons
against such girls as Deborah Halifax
unless the community takes up this
problem seriously and intelligently.
/ Deborah Halifax has most of the
characteristics that novelists have
given their heroines-that young men
look for in the girls they marry. And
yet her mental age is below twelve.
She is typical moron. There is moth
! ing that she might not be led into, be-
cause she has no power of control and
her instincts would lead to vice.
/ "a study was made of her family. L.
was found that her ancestor, Martin
HALIFAX, had children by his wife and
also by a feeble-minded girl who was

were al normal. From the feeble
minded girl have descended 222 feeble
minded persons.
