1t teaches her that a woman
should not depend on her posses
sions to impress the peopel she
wants to like her, but on her own
graciousness, kindness, of heart,
and intelligence.
1t shows her that ones friends
aren't necessarily small group
of people with the same interests
in life and approximately the same
standing in one community. 1t
shows her that friends can be
made anywhere and that new
friends are an exciting adventure
in living.
INCREASES INDEPENDENCE
It is almost sure to increase her
independence, as she finds that she
can get along without the back
ground she used to depend on,
that she can get along without
being near her relatives and old
friends, that she can get along
without being known, that she
can make her way as stranger.
And, because following a hus-

secure way of living - the wife
who tries it and finds it isn't an
impossible life is almost sure to
lose her fear of the future.
