It has been a poor father who has not tried to educate his boys, and to have them taught some trado or pro fession, or cstab- ' llsh -them In some business whereby they could support themselves und find some congenial interest In life. Singularly enough few parents ever pursue this courso with their daugh ters. The girl's fut ure Is left unpro vided for, on the cheerful theory that she will marry nnd In matrimony find both a pro f o s s I o n and a livelihood. In tho past this plan has worked out fairly well, although It has forced tens of thousands of women Into unwilling and unloving wedlock, to bo tho everlasting misery of the men they married, because no other career was open to them than matrimony. Still, most women did marry, but" the time of the universal bridal veil and, weddings bells for tho fcmlnlno sex Is over. Thi Increased cost of living, the prevalence of divorce, the multiplicity of other' Interests, perhaps the general dls Inclination of both sexes to relinquish .tliolr freedom and assumed new burdens, has caused nn enormous falling off In the number of marriages, Tho plain truth Is that In tho present financial conditions many men find It Impossible to marry, nnd under present social conditions many women find H unattractive to marry. Therefore, the father of daughters can not console himself with the reflection that It doesn't matter about providing for his girls, for they will before long marry, because some of them will bo sure not to marry. Tho problem, then, of the unmarried daughter becomes a very serious one. AVhat Is this wonian with her life before her, with Intelligence and health and energy, going to do with herself? Of course. If the woman Is tho daughter of a very rich man, or a very poor one, the question more or less fettles Itself. If she Is a millionairess, she will find her interests In society or phllantrophy. If hhe Is poor, she Mill go to work and bo happy and useful In whatever occupation she elects to follow. Tho unfortunate wonian is tho girl who belongs to the well-to-do class, whoso father Is able to provide her with food und clothes so that she does not actually nave to go to work, but who 1b not rich Baby's face one sore with eczema Cried for hour, could not sleep.

It was palnfnl and Itching, she could not sleep day or night, ishe would scratch till blood and water would run down hr neck. Then it burned her no she cried for hours at a time. The right side of her face was one eore and scab. "I got the samples of Heslnol Boap and Itesinol Ointment on a Saturday morning, and put them on, and put them on again In the after noon and In the evening before I put her to bed, and she went to sleep nnd slept till next morning. I thought I was in heaven the first nlsht, and by Monday the eczema was dried up 'bo that all the scabs fell off. lies! nol Soap and Ointment cured my baby." Mrs. Wra. M.

Such fathers, tender and laving toward their daughters, deslro for affection's sake and for pride's sake ,to keep their daughters at home, and they cannot see why their Marys and Janes are not happy nnd satisfied In the family nest. Haven't they as good as good clothes as their frinnds and neighbors? and haven't they nothing to do? It sounds to the harassed father, vexed at what he considers the unreasonable ness of womankind, that ho Is describing an earthly paradise. Ho cannot 'com prehend that there are no women on tho face of the earth more to be pitied than tho old maid daughters in comfortable homes. No lives are so dreary as those of women who have no real Interest, no real occupation, who are stirred by no real emotions, and who sec themselves grow ing old and gray and withered, wasting their energies on knitting tidies and em broidering dollies when they know them selves capable- of doing bettor things. Yet when they propose to go out Into the world and follow some profession or business and make an Individual life for themselves, as their brothers have done, they meet with such opposition from their parents that only the boldest have - tho courage to fight the family to a. stand still and' follow- their own desires. The more unselfish and affectionate yield to their fathers' and mothers silly opposi tion and remain at home "in perpetual' bondage and vassalage, children th'af never grow up, but are kept In mental pinafores even when their hair Is gray. The Inevitable result of keoolnc any able-bodied, grown-up woman In tutelage and depriving her of a legitimate vent for her activities I bound to be disastrous. It Is what has made the appellation "old maid" a term of reDroach. For woman who has had no business of Jier own has poked her nose Into everybody elso's business, and thernhv tii-r,i trouble. While on the other hand there are no women more broad-minded, more agreeable, or better liked than those un married women whose lives aro filled full of the absorbing Interests of Borne occupation in which they and a compen sation tor whatever they havo mlfcscd In matrimony. Another phase or tho situation that parents overlook Is this, that the lncomo that suffices to keep a family comfortable when they are all together will not sup. port the Individual members In comfort when they go their separate ways, and thus many a spinster Is thrown out on the world with a mere pittance to live on when her father dies. she knows no way of making a living, She Is an amateur at everything becauso she. hae only helped her moth'er keep house, she has only helped her sisters take care of the children, she has only worked n a lady-like way at everything. Ami thtf re sult of'thls amateurishness Is starvation wages. The time has come when parents need to fare the real fituatlon of woman In the present diy. They must realize that there are Just as many chances that their daughters will not marry as that they will marry, and have their girls taught Just as much ns they do their boys. And they muM realize, If their daugh ters do' not marry, that they mun help not hinder them In finding the kind of work that they want to do In the world. For no human being, mile or female, can be either good or happy who has not some absorbing (merest In life, some worthy object. The day of the pale gray anemic spin ster, who was content with the husks of .existence Is gone by. The moflern unmar ried woman declines to bo the family murtyr, and It Is time that her parents cease tiylng to thrust that role upon her. Tho bachelor woman doesn't propose to lag superfluous upon the stage, Sho wants to get busy, and her father, nnd mother should help her to It. Definitions of u t'rirnd."

"Itather exhausting, I should think," vnld the writer,- as she looked at Miss Ferguson's slender, almost delicate physique, tho imnll ovnl fare, with the anient far-seeing blue ryes, shaded by a musk of rcddlsh-brown hair, carelessly twisted up In u big knot. MIhh Ferguson had co mo In from a long rehearsal, and clad In n black tea gown, that accentuated her youth nnd ethvreul beauty, nho sat crumbled up In the corner of a hugo sofa, "Indeed, It's terribly oxhaustlng," as sented the young atar. "Hut co are other things. I often wonder how tho sales women In shops, for Instance, keep their unliable nnd often magnetic, suavo man ners after u terrible day In thn nnven- tllatnd ntmoHphero of tho big whops, con stantly surrounded by thousands of harassed women. Chopping Is niost de magnetizing to me. I return from It a completo wreck." "Wlmt do you do then, to replenish the exhausted fountain of personal mag netism?" "I think you will laugh when I tell you," said Mis Ferguson, somewhat shyly. "These help ine reouperatei to cjiarge tho eleutrlo battery," Miss Ferguson waved her hand around the room, pointing to tho quantity of lovely" flowers that seem to grow in every available spot. Thoro were flowers In all tho cases, sturdy white chrysanthemums In tho window, the miiuII kind that are hardy; thero were big ones In Jars and hanging from glass vases on the walls Then Miss Ferguson pointed to the window overlooking tho park,, beautiful In tho last days of Us autumn splendor, "Nature, the woods, If you could have It; If not, the park und flowers and quiet Theso are tho fountain, thu storage bat. ttries of that electric current."
