Dear Miss Grey: | agree
with Miss E-23 In her advice
to r. 8. V. p. and l wish to
say that when economic con-
ditions are at their zenith
then will the double standard
merge into one.
You, also, say that when
women asked for the vote It.
was then that they got it, and
not before; which is quite
true. Did you ever see any
body get anything they
didn't ask for or earn? Sup
pose the men of this state
had refused to give the vote,
what would women have
done?
My belief is that immoral
ity will cease when we are
more highly educated and
better informed. At that
time, il man refuses to buy
first, he shall be known as
the stronger; but If woman
refuses to sell first, she shall
be the stronger.

Of getting acquainted with
nice men. What can a
poor girl do? BETTY.

you will be in a position to meet
men In the right way.
!. Those who marry only because
their relatives have decided that
they must do so are bound to find
their future full of trials and tor
lures.
II is no harder work to earn
your own living than 1t is to
accept the servitude which comes
from marrying for a home.
Get the ideas Of the present
century ON this subject.
When a woman becomes suffi.
Client unto herself she does not
