! al War Work council of the Young
Women's Christian association it was
decided that the War Work council, as
D such, would continue functioning in

presentation of plan for dissolving

polite mother. She did not approve
, of early maria ges-she believed

his mind that the silken hosed girl
would make an eXtravagant wife,
while the cotton wearing one would
be the ideal home maker. And now
her advice has been so thoroly as
simulated that the once potential hus-
I band has a good start on the road that
. leads to hopeless baehelorhood
