THIS t Dorothy Dix Says: Teach Every Uirl in the World to Be Selt- Supporting. By DOKOTHV Dl.V. A man who hIkiis himself, "A FUther,-' askes this (iicstlon: "Uo you not think that before a girl upends niueh tlmo In thinking of love or mHirlago !ho should equip lieroelt In konic useful nio- cialty say ilotneHtlc science, for lu titHiico, so as to tn Hiire her having home occupation by which Mho could Hilppoit herself if Mho should ever be obliged to? Don't you think Hhn Hhmild do this le gardless of the fi nancial condition of her parents?" I hail It as a glad day when oven one father has begun to think scrlouBly and Intel ligently of' his daughter's future. Instead bt.;A Ing -It-to qhance, ap.Is yio happy-go-lucky cus tom lu dealing with girls I have written n thousand times thai I think it f simply criminal for parents to iei)d their daughters out Into the world as helpless to deal with the conditions that they are bound to face, as a Iamb would be to fight a horde of wolves. And this state of affairs prevails throughout every rank of 'society. The rich man, who has a fortune to leave lili daughter, does not teach her one thing alcut business, so that when he dies ami she- comes Into her Inheritance .she has no ability to handle It, and be comes the victim of. any man unscru I'Ulous enough to rob her. Hvcry one of us can cite dozens of cases of women who were left fortunes by their fathers, but who ure paupers to day through having been swindled out of the money they wera not competent to manage. if a girl belongs to the well-to-do class her " parents think they've done their full duty by her If they have given her tlio smattering of an education, and put all the balance of the money they could spare on her back. They base all their hopes for her future welfare on the chance of hnr marrying. They practi cally force her into marriage for a live lihood bccafise she hasn't been taught any honest way of supporting herself. Kvcn when a girl Is poor and must work, her parents do not take the trouble to think out for her. as they would for a boy, the occupation for which she dis plays a natural aptitude, nor do they lake the trouble to have her thoroughly taught some trade or profession so thnt she may get a good salary Instead of a small wage. Of course, parents Justify themselves in till way of treating their daughters by saying that the girl will soon marry, and that there's no use In spending a lot of money iwid time preparing her for soiiio skilled occupation which she will not follow, but for a short time. This apology for a neglected duty was al ways a poor one, but It grows of less and loss worth every year as girl's chances if marrying decline. It Is not at all certain In these days that ft gtrl will marry, and If she does marry that doesn't alter the necessity of having an anchor thrown out to the windward In the shape of, a knowledge of how to make a living for herself. Husbands die. Husbands become Invalids and muHt be supported instead of sup porting their wives. Husbands are some times good, worth, lovable men. who : mmm NATUBE5 LAWS. Nature's laws are perfect if only w obey them, but disease follows dlsobed enee. Go straight to Nature for the cure, to the forest ; there are mysteries there, some of which we can fathom for you.

Kvery girl In the world should be pre pared for some such contingency as this. 8he should be taught some occupation by which she can support herself If she needs to, and sh will make a better wife if she has practiced It for a year or two before she .marries. There would be no need to cry out agalnft the extravagance of women If every woman knew by experience what toil and weariness go Into the making of every dollar. There would be no more slipshod, Ill-managed homes If every girl had had system and order nnd prompt ness drilled Into her In a business office. So, even If you think your daughter Is going to marry, you can do nothing more ! efficacious toward helping her make her ' marriage a succees than to make her a thorough-going business woman. We don't like to face facts about our girls, but It's nothing more than the "truth that' the woman who marries for anything but love the woman who mar ries for a home, and clothes, and a sup porthas no rlsht to draw her skirts away from the woman of the street. Morally, they are in tb.e same class; and you can protect your daughter from this crudest of all fates a marriage of neces sityby having her taught some way to support herself. The Independent work ing girl and the ' heiress are the only women who are free to follow their own hearts. Glvo a woman a good trade and you put in her hands the wipon that Is going to reform matrimony. There are tens of thousands of wives who put up with every sort of Insult and mistreat ment from their hsubands. because they i.re dependent on them. These women are treated with Inconceivable cruelty, but they have to . t the bread of de pendence or starve, because they have no way uf supporting themselves. The woman who has a good profession or trade will not submit to this humilia tion. She will simply get up and leave and go back to her old Job. The woman uhu -i n earn a fine salary will not stand lor having pennies doled out to her as If she was a beggar. She will turn htr back on the cook stove' und repair to hc.r typewriter or counter, and for this reason there will bo a leformatlon among husbands. Tho r .n who Is mar ilcd to an Independent .oirmi will re spect her Independence. Above all the woman who has had ;it her fingers' ends some trade whereby ilie cun make a living will be saved from that most piteous lot on earth that of the middle-aged woman who Is sud denly thrown out helpless iir.d penniless on the world, Incompetent, unskilled, as Ignorant as a baby of any gainful occu pation, and too old to learn one. Kvery girl In the world should be taught mme way of supporting herseir and every father should see to It that his 'iighter Is that far protected against the mis fortunes of life. For none of us can tell what the turn of the wheel Is going to bring uf. 1 Thr Old Man Hint, .Mother (at 11:30 p. m.) What s the matter, John? You look disturbed.

Bishop Ulckey's in ralgnincnt of mod eru women whom hi' rulls "tinseled with farhlou. slaves to custom nnd wli do not blush when modesty Is outrnwd In print, In song nnd on the street." has raised a storm of criticism from defend ers of tho sex who see thu othur Mile of the picture. "Women of this kind are greatly In tii minority. They are In evidence because they have nothing to do, but parml : around and advertise their lack of braina and luart. Hut the great mass ofcwcvu.-n uphold the high standard of morals 1 spite constant temptation. No one heir o' them because they arc too bus lu exploit themselves as the "tinseled" woman does.

Miss Iord. who Is a Wellesley graduate, and well known as u writer, especially uf children's plays, Is responsible for many of the most beautiful children's pageunts New York has ever seen. "When you realize how luudL-quulch young people are provided with n nut'.u.tl outlet foi their exuberant animal splntj, especially amon& tho cvcr-firow'lng class of girls who work for their living. :t is remarkable how' high the standard of morals Is. and how strict their tense i f propriety, " she said. "Of courae, I admit I am a confirniHl opmlst. hut I believe that I have aume right to my opinions, because I have peo i all kinds of people, both rich and uuo.-, and the standards set by the women ol both kinds was extremely high. "While I was In settlement work. I supplied the 'frivolous' clement because I saw the need of the young girls mil boys as well as of tho children for f' n and amusement. "Young people have got to have It. and I have always noted how good nnd sweet the girls remain even when they are denied all the neutral pleasures of youth. "The parents of one very pietty girl. Insisted on her werklng In a factory be cause they could be sum where she was all day. At night she was expected to come right home (no loitering), eat her supper, read for a little whll and go to bed. That was her daily life The parents allowed ho amusement of any kind, excepting church and a walk on Sunday. She had no friends, and none were encouraged. "I am sure that many parents, for fear of their daughters going wrong, aro treating them In the same way, forget ting that they were young themselves and craved innocent pleasure as all young things do. Fortunately, this girl got Interested In the settlement nnd, atter much persuasion, she was allowed to take up more congenial work and .make a few friends among her own sex. "Thousands of young people havu no places to go, n place where they can be with other young people, except the dance halls. The girl's have no place to receive callers, and parents do not encourage the visits of daughters' beaux. "I remember watching a very beauti ful girl who always received her callers in the doorway of her home. They would stand there for hours, and vary tho mo notony with a walk around the, block. I got to know her, and she was one of the sweetest and finest characters. "Once she told me that she had been to a dance with a young man. nnd, at It was 'Just after the opening of the Hudson tunnel, the couple had spent several hours after the ball going back ward and forward under the river for fun, finishing up with a feast of buns In the park, and then both to early mass. Certainly nothing could have beon more Innocent or looked wiirse to the suspi cious. "We are too apt to Judge by the most superficial evidence. Kvll Is loud-voiced, while goodness Is silent.
