Chilean Girls

Evangeline Cole in the World Outlook.
 The Chilean girls reason for being is marriage, and one of her earliest les sons is that woman's place is indeed the home and that man is ordained her master. Old maids have a particular ly horrid time in Chile and most of them take the veil. There is little else for them to do, for they can't all be- come school teachers and no other ca reer is open for the woman who does not marry Women journalists, doctors, lawyers, stenographers and clerks are practically unknown
 Perhaps this somewhat oriental ideal of Chilean womanhood explains why the tinkling of the piano rather than the clicking of typewriter keys is the chief mechanical noise one hears at the Santiago College for Girls, and why the most important feature of the graduating exercises is an exhibit Of fine needlework and hand-painted china rather than essays on Why the Working Woman Needs the Vote.'

CHRISTMAS TRADE IS WELL
STARTED, The MERCHANTS SAY

The People Have Much Cash This
Year, and All Want First Class
Goods. Are Shopping Early.
That Dawson people and the peo-
pie from the country generally are
shopping early and there is increased
trade among the merchants is an
parent.
The general opinion prevails that
Christmas shopping has begun in
earnest, one merchant interviewed
making the statement that his Christ
mas trade began two weeks ago.
Several reasons are given for the
early shopping which has begun in
Dawson. One of these is on ac-
count of the great amount of money
on hand and the general prosperity
of the farmers, ana the high wages
now being paid all kinds of labor.
Another reason given for the early
buying is that the public anticipate
there may be shortage of GER
tain kinds of staple merchandise and
that buyers are apprehensive they
may not be able to secure the arti-
cles wanted, if they wait until the
last moment to make Christmas pur-
chases.
