wanted-Executive Abnity.

If clever American girls would
consent to use their executive abili-
ty in preparing to put the manage
ment of their homes on a more
riages would go wrong.
Any girl knows that IL she ac-
cepts a position as a librarian. a
teacher. a journalist. she can rare
ly make good nowadays without
special training. The average young
woman seems to think she can
somehow become a successful house
keeper any time; that training for
the dificult task of homemaker is
unnecessary. She depends upon her
wit and adaptability to carry her
through, and confidently assumes
the responsibilities of marriage
with little or no practical knowl-
edge of economical buying. cook
ing. sewing, practical nursing. and
general housekeeping practice and
economy.
No wonder il is not long before
she becomes nervously worn out
with the work she has not the
training TO accomplish intelligently.
and can never enjoy because she is
SO awkward at il. How often she
becomes an irritable, naEging. dis
satisfied wife. an unhappy failure
as the maker of a peaceful home.
Few young men OF today can af-
ford TO support a bungling house
keeper or a wife who saves her
executive ability for use in women's
political and literary clubs or other
types of orga nizations. Parents who
allow their daughters to enter mat
rimony with little or no practical
training for its problems. the fall
ure of educational institutions to
train women for the greatest work
Of woman. and modern education in
suffrage are responsible for many
unhappy marriages.
Too many women resent the idea
of their homemaking as really in
one sense just a steady job. They
are not willing TO believe thai a
home. a husbands companionship,
and the comfort Of a family of chill
dren in old age are sufficient COM
pensation for the early years OF
hard work. Let them ask almost
any mature unmarried woman with
years of hard toll in the business
world back Of her. who. realizing
that she will soon be considered
TO old for her work. worries about
who will care for her in her old
age. She will tell them that in be-
coming housewives they had op-
portunities to make good in the
best occupation open TO women. and
that IL is a great pity SO many
young housewives are failures he
cause of insufficient training for
their positions and because Of their
inability to grasp their great op-
portunity in homemaking. II. W.

Christmas he sent him a $500 bond,

The visits to his broker varied
from semi-social chats to discus

enjoyed them. The big trust COM
pany building seemed to link him
definitely to the great fortunes

to assure him that he was ade-
quately chaperoned by the hierarchy
of finance. From these hurried men
he derived the same sense OF safety
that he had in contemplating his
grandfather's money-even more,

creation of essays on the popes of

to the conversation with his grand

He had hoped to find his grand

Made the Best Of 1t.

Some years ago when 1 was first
married we invited my husbands
employer and his wife to New
Years dinner. They were wealthy
while we, of course. had to study
to pay for our little home, but they
were fine people and thought a
great deal of us.
p New Year Day that year fell on
Monday and they were to write so
that we would get word whether
they could come We were on a
rural route and up to Saturday re-
ceived no word, so decided they
were not coming.
We, of course, were disappointed.
So my husband suggested that we
have dinner little earlier and at
tend a matinee In the city together.
So instead of the rather elaborate
meal planned we had more simple
one and were half finished when,
happening to look toward the troll
ley station a short distance from
our home, whom did we see but Mr..
Dare and his wife.
You can imagine our feelings.
