AN EDITORIAL
FOR WOMEN

Economic experts are be-
coming excited because, they
say, thousands of women
who took the places of men
in industrial life will never
be content to return to their
previous condition of eco
nomical dependence.
1t is an amazing truth
that the reason that woman
has not enjoyed the oppor-
tunity to display her capac-
ity for industrial employment
in the more highly skilled
branches, has been that a
certain class of women have
always been regarded by the
men as typical women. This
class embraces women hynO-
tized by the belief that they
are of the WEAKER sex;
limpid, limping and limp
ladies of the clinging vine
and weeping willo pattern.
This class is on the moral,
economical and social tObog-
gan.
Soon there will be very few
weeping willows and cling
ing vines cluttering up the
landscape.
Woman, after all, should
be one-part Venus, one
part Minerva, one part Vul-
s. can and one part Ceres.
1t is perfectly all right for
her to play the clinging vine
and the blushing violet for a
period starting two weeks
before marriage and for
three weeks thereafter, so
that the honeymoon may be
like the novels and the NOV
les would have it.
After that-well, after
that, she should evolve into
that self-sufficient, self-re-
specting,. economically indie
pendent individual whose
class is growing apace these
days, attracting the respect
and admiration Of all he-men,
to the horror and tremulous
alarm of sociologists, femin-
lists, college professors and
certain other classes of male
bipeds who regard the female
of the species as a parlor
ornament or a kitchen
drudge, to whichever ex-
IRENE their aesthetic tastes
may run.

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS W. NJ FELTON,
THE LAST REMAINING DAUGH-
TER OF GENERAL ROBERT
LEE
General and Mrs. Robert LIE

General and Mrs Robert Lee had
a large family of sons and daugh-
ters. The. last of the family died
late in November, 1918, and was
buried with the rest of the family
Mary GUSTS Lee, and she was
eighty-four years old. The newspa-
pers said she left handsome es-
tate.
Before the Civil war, Arlington
Heights. near Washington City, was
the family homestead. 1 have been
many times-the first time thirty
three years ago. The view from the
house is one Of the finest in the
world, l suppose. After General
Lee and family left during the Civil
war, the federal government took it
cemetery. Thousands upon thou
sands are buried there, and many
beautiful monuments have been
erected to military leaders.
AS one approaches Washington
City from the south, after leaving
Alexandria, one has a plain view of
Arlington, from the railroad. In 60
the view is also magnificent. The
choice of a location was doubtless
made in colonial times, and it has
been reckoned along with Mount
vernon as one OF the great historic
places of the United States. If
Miss Mary GUSTS Lee was eighty
four years old she must have been
born in 1884. Therefore, she was
twenty-seven years of age when the
Civil war began. With large
wealth the Lee family was among
the most noted of American fam
lilies. General Lee held distinguish
ed rank in the federal army. 1t is
said that General Winfield Scott,
then the highest ranking officer, had
picked out General Lee as his sue
cessor. Fortune, fame, delightful
home, large family of children,
he seemed to be secure in every
thing the world calls prosperous
and happy and illustrious.
AL this changed when he had to
give up" fame and fortune and va
cate Arlington. 1t must have
given pang of sorrow to his young
lady daughters to move farther
south and live in rented house
with an officers pay to support
them in the plainest manner. If
Miss Mary GUSTS Lee had written
"reminiscences if would be a volume
worth reading. And this closes the
list of General Lees living chill

In buying a dress, ask yourself
LOOK TO QUALITY WEEKLY
first, is the dress of good material?
Learn which are the good dyes. In
vestigate samples of materials simp-
ly as materials, so you may know
which ones will pull apart at the
seams, which arc yarn-dyed fabrics,
and so forth. Avoid ordinary bar
gain counters, advises an authority
in Good Housekeeping.
Ask yourself also, is the color
becoming? Is the dress easy to laun-
der? Will it slip over an ironing
board easily? Is there allowance for
growth? A three~inch hem has proved
ample for the life of a garment in
my experience, so there is no need
of extra tucks. However, all ready
made garments are of unshrunken
materials. Allow about an inch to
the yard for shrinkage, and you will
be safe.
Low-necked dresses are more or

You would please advise me what to

If you and the girl are definitely
engaged to be married, then she
really should not allow another man
to take her home, since you object.
She is really quite young and I doubt
if she honestly knows her own mind
as yet. I admit that girls often act
that way just to torment the boy that
loves them best, and you would be
foolish to allow yourself to be much
disturbed over her actions and par
ticularly to let her know that her
behavior bothers you. If you love
Give others as well as yourself a
