Of all the employments open to wo-

the demands of professions and trades

Aid to Finding Husband.
The knowledge which the training
pupil receives is valuable to her if she
marries and has home of her own
and the graces and womanliness de-
veloped in her work of caring for the
sick are often the qualities which at
