the mill girl has just been married to
her employer.
The wedding took place in New
York city and was very quiet. Not
one of Mrs. Diapers former associ-3
ates in the mill knew it was going to
happen. Even her widowed mother :
professed to be astonished when she
heard of the marriage.
And yet there is no reason why
anybody should be astonished when a
business man chooses a business
woman for his wife.
Every year more and more men
are doing it. Every year the society
debutante with her little bunch OF
parIor tricks, her ragtime dancing
and her ragbag brain, finds it harder
and harder to get husband. And
the girl whom a business man sees
eight or ten hours day, the girl he
knows gets up early, always dresses
neatly, talks sensibIy, reads the pa
pers, lives on a fixed income and
manages to save money, briefly, the
girl who works becomes more. and
more his ideal of Womanhood.
Even the standard of beauty has
been changed by the incursion of
woman into the business world.
Look at Mary Weldon Diapers pic
ture with its chiseled, intelligent fea-
lures, the smooth, sensible arrange
ment of the hair. There you have the
attractive business woman, the girl
who does not try to appeal to men by
getting herself up to look as much
like a pet poodle as possible, but
whose attire and demeanor proclaim
her to be self-respecting and ready
and anxious to respect any one whose
qualities enlist her interest and COM
mand her esteem.
The man she married is in the late
forties, an age when far too many
men fall in love with girls in their
teens

a neglected grave and on reading the
