DLAY 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 fashion
able finishing school, or from college. Don't
let her education stop there. Don't consider
her for the struggle Of life, until you have had
her taught some trade by which she can sup
port herself.
1t does not matter whether you are rich or
poor, whether you have not penny to give
her, or million to leave her.. See to it that
your daughter has within herself the ability
tO make her own living.
It is the best insurance that you can take
out for her against misery and want and
temptation.
+ Parents have realized the necessity of pre-
pairing boys for the battle of life, and none
but the most callous, and careless, cast their
sons into the fray without putting in their
hands strong weapon with which to fight
their way, but these very same parents who
help their sons to helr themselves duck their
responsibility to their daughters. They do
not think it worth while to teach their girls
how to take care of themselves because they
trust to 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 good theory if every wom-
an married; if every husband was a good
money-maker, and if every marriage turned
out happily. Unfortunately this is chancey
world, and none of these things are certain
ties.
A girl may not marry. There are millions
more women in the world than there are men,
and men are showing less and less willing
ness to burden themselves with families.
Hence, a girls chance Of getting husband
to provide for her grows more problemat1cal
year by year.
Anyway, it is brutal thing to put girl
into position where she is forced to marry
for home. We shudder with horror when
we hear about parents who sell their daugh-
tiers to harems, but those heather fathers and
mothers are not worse than the respectable
parents we know who marry their daughters
off to any sort of man, just to be rid of them.
Many a girl is made to feel that she is
such burden at home, and is so nagged and
twitted because she doesn't marry, that she
is literally driven into taking he first man
who proposes to her. Thousands of loveless,
and unfortunate marriages would be prevent
ed if every girl were self-supporting, and
could wait for Mr.. Right to come along.
Having profession would be an equally ef-
ficacious protection against making foolish
match for the rich girl because Hshe would
not be driven into matrimony to escape bore
dom, as the idle girl often is. She would
