To begin this proposed ana
necessary course Of self-reliance
early is to make doubly sure that
your girl will finally come into
her own joy and satisfaction. Put
her on a schedule, give her the
benefit Of a seasoned physique,
toughened by exercise and able
to resist fatigue and disease: give
her the benefit of knowing the
rudiments, Of every kind OF work
done by women and wives and
housekeepers; give her the prac-

Give her the practice Of shop

becoming active in church work;
give her an extra course Of train

: When Jim walked into Miss
Gregory's studio and found Betty

sure he was utterly con-
counded. He managed to
carry off the situation easily
and gracefully, however. When

for me and take me to Dream

for Pat to call and drive us out IN
his car, I knew he was afraid to
be alone with me. $,

When Pats car was announced
and our farewells were said I
had sense Of coming up from a
dark well to daylight again. But
didn't make the mistake Of
starting any discussion with Jim
on the way down to the car. I
couldn't discuss what Ruth
Gregory meant to him until we
two were alone. It was a big
question. Jim's answer must be
the truth. My answer, too, must
be big and noble.
When we got down to the car,
however. Jim again avoided me.

Subjects.

A NTICIPATE valuable, in
A teresting life for your lit
Il y tie girl. Keep her headed
in the direction Of attaining an
independent, self-sustaining per-
sonality.
No one has foreseen it. much
less planned 1t, but the times de-
mand as never before that your
girl must learn to walk on her
own feet, work with her own
hands and think with her own
brain.
It Is now a bad guess to as
sumo that your girl must merely
have culture and an attractive
dowry so as to be good catch"
for some young man who may
later wish to marry her.
The dainty, do-nothing, finish
ing course for girls is now out
of date. Such methods spell
grief, If not ruin, for the future.
In other words, to be happy
and contented, your girl must go
with the crowd. She must feel
that her behavior is the stand
ard thing and has the approval
Of the masses.
Now this mass consciousness
says that your girl must become
an all-around, self-reliant person
atty, just as we have always ex-
pected boys to become. 1t says
that she must take the common
school course, that she must
learn to play with the crowd, that
she must learn to make her way
through the traffic of the streets
that she must learn to safeguard
herself, that she must learn to
do her own thinking.
In short, your job in bringing
UP your girl, is to train citizen
and not merely to prepare some
thing for people to look at and
love, or for some young life mate
to have and to hold. No matter
how ornamental your daughter
: may finally become. she must also

Winifred wondered II he would

was glad to be alone. I felt
that I was approaching a crisis.
Jim has had momentary
flashes OF interest In other wo-
men. But they have been beau.
tiful women coQuettes. sirens,
perhaps, obvious subjects for a
flare OF interest and mofnentary
Irritation. Ruth Gregory is a
genius, woman OF sullen ugli-
ness lighted BY an understandable
charm. My intuitions told me
that she has taken a great hold
on Ji1n's imagination.
II this hold is on his heart
and mind--on his life-I must
know. And then there il only
one thing for me to do.
Jim shall have what he wants
even If that be his freedom.
The drive to Dreamwold was
one of the strangest hours I've
ever endured. When we arrived
tried to pull myself together. But
Il was sadly distract, and all
through dinner I worried lest
jeanne or Pat discover that SOME
thing was radically wrong with
me. Somehow managed to elude
Jeanie's keen perceptions, and Pat
was bubbling over with something
which he declared as soon as we
were through dinner.
The minute we had finished our
coffee he led as to the living room
and burst out with boyish whoop
which seemed to relieve his mind:
"Will you all be mouse-quiet
now and be after giving the floor
to Patrick Dalton, while he boasts
a bit?" he asked oratorically.

I loved a man until I met

me to a dance. Later the first
one threatened to thrash him.
The following Tuesday the
second man asked me to be
engaged. Now I love him dear
ly and he says he loves me de-
votedly. My sister says I
should not marry a man with
temper like the first man. My
family and his family are old
friends and my parents think
he is fine and would be good
to his wife as he is devoted to
his mother. ask your advice
