Who Occupies a Unique Position In

 fty on the Problems of Girls
 Where do you get your standards of right and wrong? According to whose measurements do you figure success and happiness? Do you do the things you think your neighbors expect of you? Do you attempt Uo manage your life according to the metho ods practiced by some one you know? Or do you figure out what you want of life and how you can best acquire it?
 know two women who have managed their lives in exactly op- posite manners.
 Laura is a salaried woman whose pay has been high fer several years Each time her salary increased she changed her manner of living to keep a jump in advancee of her changing fortunes. She associated herself with extravagant society people who could give her the country week-ends and the motor trips she craved. She dressed in accordance with the stand ards of wealthy folks and entertained them on the scale to which they were accustomed.
 Laura was popular. There is no question of that. She had a host of friends to invite her about and to accept her invitations in turn.
 Then came a bad year. Laura's salary was cut. She couldn't keep up with the folks along whose lines she had been patterning her life. She began to avoid the friends who would have been glad to aid her if her pride had permitted. But her pride was of the false sort which cannot acknowledge defeat. She has slipped out of the world for fear it will criticize her.
 As matter of fact it would prob ably admire her for the good uphill fight she is capable of making. But Laura isn't fighting. She thinks she is defeated and she is moping about it. She has to live her own life, but she wants to pattern it after that of other folks and according to their standards. She refuses to have standards of her own and to make the best of her own circumstances. And as long as she does this, she IS defeated
 Now Grace is the poor member of a wealthy family which has tried to dower her Math its gifts, hnd to
 
 ideals and asprati ons. But Grace happens to want a life of her own. She has startled and annoyed her family by taking a course in stenog- arpIly and a position in an insurance office at SIS a week.
 'They think I'm stubborn and un- grateful she told me the other day. But have to be myself. I want to take my place in the world. I'd LIKE to have my aunts and cousins and uncles think well of me. But I've GOT to think well of myself. I'm fighting for my own self-respect. can't be a parasite or a bluff or hanger-on or a do-nothing. I must work out my own salvation. I sim- ply can't live any ones life except my own. And I'm going to make every effort to be a real person. Grace Smith and nobody else.''
 I'm pretty sure Grace will make good. At least she will make the most of herself. And whatever her ideals cost her, they will repay her in growth and power. She's going to be the best person she's capable of becoming. And what more can any of us do?

But the report shows that 44,082 emf
grant aliens left the United States and
went back to Italy, or 1900 more than
were admitted. The explanation for
this lies in the fact that the Italians
have always been inclined to 90 and
come according to tine times. That
country has always encouraged its
people in coming to America to catch
American notions of thrift and profit
by high wages when times were good
here, but to return to Italy when in

longer justified their remaining.
The explanation of why so few Jews
emigrated from the United States is
furnished by the fact that they have
not been welcome in many Of the lands
Of Europe because Of fractional and

contract laborers and 1850 in excess
of quotas. More than 1000 in excess
Of quota were admitted because of
