know many men are not keen
on women carving out careers for
themselves. but a thinking father
who loves his child. can see why
she should be prepared to meet
any emergency after marriage.
The average man has seen too
much Of the hazards OF modern
life to let his daughters start out
as homebodies and no other special
training. The woman who has no
ability to do anything other than
housekeeping is apt to find herself
In trouble If her husband casts row.
ing eyes at some other girl or de-
cides that his marriage was mis-
take. In such a case, the woman
who il safe In employment can
say goodbye To her irresponsible
mate without a great deal of fuss
and ado.
II 1t seems strange that I. a
father, want to see my girl q
self-supporting individual. remem-
Der that we are living in day
when man may go from white
collar job TO relief in short time.
That could happen to any man
my daughter would marry and I
must admit that this knowledge
makes me urge her to get job
and keep II even after marriage.
We parents know only too well
that every girl " not fortunate
enough to marry a man who will
stick with her through the years.
Too. 4 practical father. unlike n
romantic mother. realizes that
daughter may never marry. and
that IL she doesn't, no matter how
well fixed her parents are at the
moment. her only real security lies
in her own ability.
/ have met q lot Of capable, at
tractive and alert women in the
business world and share the
opinion with many other men that
the smart business girl has an
edge on any other female.
And last but not least certainly
no one more than a father wants
TO know that his daughter need
never stick out an unhappy mar
rage simply because she knows
she can't support herself.

Bobbed Hair
Dear Miss Grey: About six
months ago heard that the wom-
en- would be wearing bobbed hair
this summer, but 30 far all see
IL long hair. wish you could help
me out as / want to do something
about my hair. Would IL be wise
to get a permanent at this time
or do you think there viii be a
change real soon? M.
Well. according to the beauty
hints that come TO my column.
there will be plenty Of bobbcd
hair this summer land by the
way. can't agree with you about
seeing only long hair at the
present time. There is plenty of
bodied hair yeti.
However, a woman should 80
TO a beauty expert and find out
whether bobbed hair or long
hair Is most becoming to her
type. Bobbed hair is far more
convenient than long hair. espe-
cially in the summer time. but
some women are much better
looking with long hair. 1t all
depends on the shape of the face
and head.
Embarrassed
Dear Miss Grey: ! am member
Of q club of young women and
enjoy their company but for one
reason. At each meeting one of
the members is supposed to have
. guest. At the last meeting it
was my turn to have the guest and
] invited q friend who was visiting
me from out of town. and you can
imagine my embarrassment when
my fellow club members talked
constantly about their friends and
Interests and left her entirely out
Of the conversation. Everything
they said was practically Greek to
her. That she was surprised by
their bad manners I could see but
she was too well bred TO mention
It to me.
Now what I want to know Is
this. Several times have noticed
the girls in my club have done this
when Z strange guest WAS present
