surgeon, thinks that every girl
should be educated to do something.
even though she does not afterWard
follow it up.
"A position is what | desire for
my own daughters" Mrs. Kelly said,
and one of my daughters now has
an interesting one.
"Congenial work is better for a
girl than just staying at home.
Today many girls do not work for
financial reasons but because they
are more satisfied in the business
world until the right man comes
along. Working makes a girl even
more attractive. because, among
other things it makes her more uu-
selfish"
Girls Gain Much in business.
Mrs. Virginia Harris. who has had
an important, Part in coaching of
children's plays in Baltimore, is an
enthusiastic supporter of the self
supporting girl.
"All Of us are happier if we have
a definite aim in life, and this aim
should not only be one that leads to
the altar" says Mrs. Harris. Each
of us should contribute something to
society and it is good for a girl to be
trained along some definite line
"A girl who has been broadened by
business experience is more interest
ing than one who has been depend-
ent all her life. She puts a different
value on men and demands more of
them.
"She thinks more logically and is
more economical. Girls gain much
and lose absolutely nothing when
they go out in the business world"

BALTIMORE, January 9.-The BUSH
ness world is just around the corner
from the altar.
1t is the efficient business woman
who gets the real prize in the matri-
monial market
Men no longer look for wives
among the butterflies.
These three things sum up the
opinion of several Baltimore women
who were asked whether they thought
the business girl or the stay at
home" girl is the more likely to have
a solitaire slipped on her finger.
Girls who work are far more
likely to find husbands than those
who stay at home says Miss Lydia
De Ford. They come in contact with
more men than they would otherwise
meet and are just as attractive to
men as their sisters. whose knowl-
edge of life is mostly gained in the
ballroom.
Bad TO Wait for Husband.
ut is bad thing for girls to sit
at home and patiently wait for some
one to come along and marry them.
'If their dreams are never realized
they have wasted whole life in just
waiting-but perhaps they never
quite give up hope. On the other hand.
the girl in the business world has
something to, occupy her mind. and
by the time she begins to realize that
there is no longer hope. she has found
other interests.
Independence makes better help
mate of a girl. and as rule business
experience is broadening.
III a girl really falls in love. there
will be no question in her mind as
to whether it shall be husband or
position"
The woman proprietor of a beauty
shop on Charles street thinks the girl
who is self-suporting is the more at
tractive.
'In my art of identifying 1 come
in contact with all classes of women
daily" she says And l speak, both
from observation and from my own
experience. The girl who has po-
sition makes more economical wite
and takes a greater interest in her
husbands business. Her experience
in the world teaches her one big les
son-that the greatest thing in the
world is to learn to help one an
other
Business Women Most sympathetic.
Mrs. William Hubner thinks that
the most sympathetic wife is the one
who knows how it feels to come home
from the office dead tired"
ut is not the wife who has had
business experience who drags a
weary husband to the theater," de-
clared Mrs. Hubner, land girls who
are interested in business positions
are more apt to choose a real man
for their life partner. They are not
as eager to marry as the girl who
considers wedding bells every time
she looks at a man or powders her
nose. The business girl can appre-
ciate a home and manage finances
better than a girl who has not had
the sad experience of making money
and watching it take wings"
