Tou want to split the whole hollow show of religion asunder. Tou want to break the ties that bind you to rela tions you do not like.

Tou burn to rush out mto the social byways and cheese tha acquaintances whom your conventional family regard as the lame, the halt and the blind and treat with cold charity.

You think that friendships with men can ealst on grounds far above the sex plana. Tou gouge and slash at the ways of so ciety. Tou fly off at every tangent where the pressure of home Influence la momen tarily removed. You resent your mother's suggestions. You disregard your father's requests. In short, you are a feminine out law. There was a place for you In the days when pioneering was possible. Now, . you seem to ba caught In tha intricate wheals of a fully constructed social machine, and they grind you to the misery and rebellion which you express In such frantic and dis jointed way that you ars looked upon as a "queer girl," "a freak" or, by the very narrow minded, as a positively dangerous person. You mske of yourself exactly what the outlaw cf civilization Is. You alienate other girls. You arouse the distrust of less dar'ni people. You Inspire the con tempt of those who know that real cour age Is in making the best of things as they Wonderfd Present-Day Grandmothers days It Is youth that &ta an tha knitting, while It la dear young grand mamma who sports, so to apeak, with the kit tea on the carpet. Grandmamma Is no longer old. She is, suppose. Just 80; but whst matter? She can still enjoy theaters, dinners, bridge, and, In certain Instances, ws learn she can still dance at that age. She baa not much to worry her, because she la probably bow supported by the aged young. She. has reached delightful pensioned or fixed In come days. And now, after having been old la youth, she becomes young la old age. it strikes her that the world, as 8tevenson told the children, is "full of a number of things." She will see them.

' Does the outlaw, shutting himself from his kind, do anything worth while? He not only does not, but be turns his most splen did virtue to base uses. He makes it the tool of his vices. You have ths virtue, too. It is the one which discovered America. It Is theone which gave the world a Sav ior. And It is yours, given you with more generosity than most receive. It is cour axs. Why do you not find happiness in its ue. Why not associate youroelf with the great men and women why have had it. Instead of being merely a femiin outlaw? How? By forgetting yourself and remem bering that every courageous person who ever lived has hated sham and deceit, has rebelled against senseless conventions. Zlut with this difference! They have tried to overcome the thing they hated with the pa tient application of courage, a steady re sistance. Instead of a soda water fls alness that exhausted Itself la the mak ing and accomplished nothing. Feminine outlaw, stop gashing and slashing! Begin tha kind of opposition to wrong and de celt which overcomes by a continuous and steady pressure. J chalrmake tha most of them. In time. Wonderful grandmamma. She will prob ably marry again.

This Is but one of many such Instances. But why shouldn't old people marry? If they heve youth in their hearts there seems to ba no reason why they should not emulate the ways of ths young.

Grumbling is as Insidious as lnfluenaa, and as In fectious. A woman will walk out In the morning strong and happy, ready to do her share of ths world s work, and per haps a fsw yards from her own doorstep will meet some other woman who Is grumbling so badlv as to be heard across tha street "It'a going to be hotter than ever," the stricken one will explain Indig nantly, "Isn't it unbearable?" If the first woman Is susceptible, this Is enough. Grumbling will break out on her Instantly. For hours to come she will hate the beauty of the day and infect all who come In contact with her. Pome women grumble because their holi days are over; others grumble because they Tiave not yet arrived; but the most Insistent form of the grumbler is the Woman who laments against the hot weather. She complains against her food, her clothes, her work. It would drive mewt women near to argue with grumblers strict solatlon Is their only hope and ours so thst it is of no use protesting.
