"The entire state organization for the

The Girl and Her FAMILY.


We have always heard a great deal
about the self made man. Now that
the door of opportunity haS~"Wel-
come" written above it for women
also, we are beginning to hear of the
self made woman, and these women
who have had the strength, and the
pluck, and the grit to climb the ladder
of success, are finding that they have
some difficult domestic problems to
solve.
One of these has been telling me
her troubles. She says:
IT come of very poor. humble and
uncu1tured people, but from the time
1 can remember 1 was obsessed by a
burning ambition to raise myself out
of the station to which I had been
born. I used to look at the finely
dressed women on the streets and say
to myself that some time I would have
clothes like theirs. 1 used to try to
copy the walk. the manners, the little
gestures of those that I took to be
fine ladies.
81 literally devoured my school
books in the intervals of nursing little
brothers and sisters, and helping
mother with the cooking, washing and
ironing. I worked my way through
college. Now 1 am a teacher earning
good salary. My associates are men
and women of education, refinemnt
and culture. am ashamed to ask my
friends to my home to have them meet
my family.
Indeed, I am no longer in touch
with my people myself, for while
love them and honor them for their
many good qualities, I shudder when
see them eat with their knives, and
1 finch from their bad grammar and
unconscious vulgarisms as from a
physical hurt.
what should I do under the cir
cumstances?"
The self made man solves this prob
lem in the simplest of all ways. He
separates himself from his people. He
recognizes the fact that no man can
climb with a pack of relatives on his
back, and so he goes away where he
can make his own place in the sun
without the shadow of his family tree
falling across it.
1t is not SO easy for a woman to
do this because the call of the blood
Is much stronger with women than
tits with men. and because family ties
are much more binding on a woman
than on a man. If a man is happy
and prosperous himself he can forget
how it fares with the people back
home. but woman always remem-
bers.
