were becoming more expensive
every day and any money that she
might earn was needed.
SO Nell went to work and every
Saturday her money was turned over
to her mother to help with the gener-
al expenses.
Meantime Fanny came along,
Fanny had been just enough younger
to escape the burden. Couldn't trust
the little folk with her SO Fanny
went to school regularly without a
thought of responsibilities She was
considered bright. By the time she
finished high school the family in
come had increased SO normal school
was a possibility. SO Fanny went to
normal school and finally married
professor.
Emily, the next sister, went to
college and married a physician.
Edith, whom is was possible to
send to an exclusive finishing school,
married a financier.
And then they all rested on their
oars and smiled with sort Of self. |

CHE was older than the others. She
~ arrived on the scene before
things were quite so prosperous.
There hadn't been a maid then
but there had been family, quite a
family, so since Nell was the oldest,
she learned to darn and to wash dish
es and to cook and take care of ba-
bies; none of which hurt her, of
course.
It's a nice thing for a girl to know
about those things. But Nell was
given too much! Sometimes she did
not get to school because the chill
dren needed care. Sometimes when
she did get there she had done so
many things before going that she
couldn't think in terms of arithmetic,
geography, English and so on.
She did manage to get through
high school. But she never gave
even as much as a thought to col
lege. she knew she couldn't go. 1t
was too costly and, having just slip
ped through high school by the skin
of her teeth, she knew trying to work
her way through college would be use
less. She hadn't good enough foun-
dation.

miss matrimony as woman's normal
experience. Common sense rules her
and she is proud of it.
If THIRTY writes at all, she says,
"Hc is perfectly respectable, and his
salary is thus-and-so, but do you
think can get along with his moth
err" The practical is very strong in
THIRTY.
After all, the niccness Of a bride
depends pretty much upon the man
himself.
Will he continue to appreciate in
woman the qualities for which he
married her?
From AMBITIOUS comes this:
''The girl to whom | am engaged
has Just informed me that she does
not intend to marry me unless |
give up my ambition to become a
professional man. Her people are all
in the commercial world, and she
wants me to stick to it, I'd like to
know if I'm Justified in resenting
her verdict"
Your resentment is your cue to
conduct. 1t prompts you to trust
yourself, to work our your own ca
ceer.
Love often passes, but mans one
ambition seldom does.
A man can quite honestly love sew
eral girls in successiop--so most men
claim, but to the guiding star of his
personal ambition, ne remains con-
slant.
Heredity explains it. Heredity is
speaking when a man feels that he
has it in him to be an artist rather
than an auctioneer. or a lawyer
rather than manufacturer. Erotic
emotions are subject to change. In.
herited tendencies to work are hard
to overcome.
