MS ELtzABETE TLe'1PSON


She spent the summer visiting an aunt
in another state, but now she has re-
turned home. Her father SAYS he will
not allow her to stay at home and do
nothing that she must get 10 work
and earn her own spending money II
has always been my ambition 10 send
this daughter to college. bur my hus-
band was opposed TO letting her leave
home. and he would not plan for her
going by saving money. I certainly dc
not want her to work and she doesn't
want to, but her father insists, Can
you suggest any argument to convince
him that work is hardening to a young
girl?
~ My husband SAYS that she can
20 TO business college and prepare
| for stenography if she wants to, and
he viii pay her expenses, or she can
get to work at something else al
/ once If she has to work, what
would YOU suggest?
| 80 Do YOU think a working girl
/ has as much chance to get married
I as one who stays mt homee
A MOTHER.
I'D think that every girl should
/ have experience as a business wom-
an before she marries. Il gives her
an idea Of management and the value
of money which she can get in no
other way. A business experience
also fortifes her against poverty.
Often a husband is sick or dies and
a wife has to earn the living for her
self and family. Ii she has had eX-
perience she has very little difficulty
getting o position, while the woman
who knows nothing but homework
can only keep boarders. and at this
she usually fails because she does
/ not know the business side OF the
work and is not good manager.
Work is not hardening 10 a girl
who has the guidance Of wise parents
and the protection Of a good home.
And 1t is not hardening 10 many
others. but Of course there rs "a
Igreater tendency for hardness 10
icreep into the life of . girl who has
ito put her small earnings into room
and board and has not the encour-
+ agement of a home.
! ~ Stenography equips a girl for
something definite would advise
lit.
/ (3} Yes, she has as much chance
to get married and perhaps more, he
cause she has opportunity to make
friends at work as we'll as at this
social gatherings she attends away
from work Besides, worth while
men have more respect for girls who
TRY to pay their own way
