Play fair with your girls Give them
Just as good chance in life as you give
your boys.
Your Mamie, or Sadie, or Maud has
just graduated from the high school, or
fashionable finishing school, or from
college. Don't let her education stop
there. Don't consider that you have
done your part towards fitting her for
the struggle OF life until you have had
her taught some trade by which she can
support herself
1t does not matter whether you are
rich or poor, whether you have not q
penny to give her, or a million TO leave
her. See to il that your daughter has
within herself the ability TO make he.
own living.
1t is the best insurance that you can
take out for her against misery, and
want, and temptation.
Parents have realized the necessity
of preparing boys for the battle of life
and none but the most callous, and care
less, cast their sons into the fray without
/ putting in their hands strong weapon
with which TO fight their way, but these
same parents who help their sons TO help
themselves duck their responsibility To
their daughters. They do not think il
worth while to teach their girls how to
take care of themselves because they
trust 10 luck that daughter will marry,
and that they will be able TO shunt the
burden of her maintenance onto some
other man.
This would be q good theory if every
woman married; if every husband was a
good money maker, and If every mar
rage turned out happily. Unfortunately,
this is a chancey world, and none OF
these things are certainties.
A girl may not marry. There are
millions more women in the world than
there are men, and men are showing less
and less willingness to burden them
selves with families Hence, a girls
chance of getting husband TO provide
for her grows more problematlcal veal
by year.
Anyway, it is a brutal thing to put
q girl into position where she is forced
TO marry for home. We shudder with
horror when we hear about parents who
sell their daughters TO harems, but
those heather fathers and mothers arc
not worse than the respectable parents

TO any sort of man, just to be rid of then
Many girl is made to feel that she
is such burden at home, and is Sc
nagged and twitted because she doesn
marry, that she is literally driven int

Thousands Of loveless and unfortunat,

Having profession would be al
equally efhcacious protection agains

because she would not be driven int
matrimony TO escape boredom, as tn
idle girl often is. She would have some
thing interesting to do; something to fl
her thoughts, and occupy her time. It

matrimony is not a necessity. 1t is
luxury without which can do quit

THE DELICATE WAY MADGE HAD

Allen brakes pointed tribute made
me flush in embarrassed fashion. Then
l paled in the anger ut myself which
the foolish school girl trick always

my eyes, my expression, but a personal
reference, especially If IT I've comph-
mcntary, almost invariably sends the
blood 10 my checks.
For a ~rathful second or two, l told
mv~lf that | would prefer the slur l
had imagined in MIR. Drake s voice when
he learned Of my recognition OF the
cunciform characters in the code, to
the hearty admiration he had Just
voiced
As I forced myself TO meet his eyes,
and found that the indolcnt smiling
hint of condesconsion which/f so de-
tested had gone from them, that IN

new EXPRESSION, Of camaraderie, of in

Mr.. Drake looked at me oddly, but

almost too nonchalant an air TO be
quite convincing:
