And they've always been frightfully
depressed when they didn't get 1t. In
that respect. the younger generation
is exactly like all the older genera

The older generation had meekness

The old fashioned girls fate was en-
tirely IN the hands Of her papa. hus-

didn't make her happy she had no al

resignation and get fitted for mar

II never occurred to her that her
fate might be as much her own af-

her own destiny. And she was fitting
ly paid for that w"rmy attitude.
The American girl of today has no
illusions as to who should control her
fate. She doesn't consider it bias

She considers it Cowardly and stupid
to leave that task to any one else. She
considers unnecessary suffering as

going TO avoid it if she possibly can.
If she possibly can't, she'll be a
good sport and stand il. But she will
not be martyr. She'll think of her
