The school year Is Just starting and
hundreds of thousand of girls are re

If the girl ever
needs to call upon
It for help.
For the average
girl's education
may best be de
scribed In the
words of the popular dltty which de
clared, "I don't know where I'm going,
but I'm on my way." Nobody knows
which way a girl Is going, or In what
direction she la headed, and so she Is
given a sort of hit or miss education
that her optimistic parents fondly believe
wlU fit her for anything, and that In
. reality fit her for nothing;.

world who gets auch a cruol deal In life

with her fate.
They have no fortune to settle upon
her; no dowry to give her when she
marries that would secure her financial

Thousands of dol

education, but she

Nobody thinks it
worth while to teach her ,a trade by
which she can support herself if It bo
comes necessary.
Her parents have banked everything
on the one chance of her getting mar

be able to keep her in pink cotton .the
balance of her life. Now catching . a
husband Is by no means an easy a thing
as It sounds, and It grows more and
more difficult year by year.'
Besides, husbands lose their money, or
their jobs, only too often. Sometimes
they turn out to be drunkards or dast

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The man of today Is accused of being
a coldly business-like person whose heart

That is almost as true as the sweeping

quently they die, leaving their wives
nothing but a house full of children.
Then the woman
who has been given
nothing but an ome
let souffle education
has a right to rise
up and curse her
parents whose folly
Is responsible for her
utter despair and
desolution. If she
had been trained to
any trade or profes
sion she could turn
her hand to It agnln,
and her loss would
be merely a misfor
tune Instead of the overwhelming disas
ter that It Is.
Of course, when you talk to mothers
find fathers about having their daughters
taught some occupation by which they
can make a living, they always reply that
about the time you get a girl fitted for
a career, and have spent a small fortune
in preparing her for It, she ups and mar
ries. This may be true In many cues,
but the special training I not thrown
away, as the parents seem to think. All
education Is broadening, and makes for
human happiness and usefulness, because
It opens new doors to the Individual.
Moreover, whethor the woman who has
fitted herself to be a lawyer or a doctor
practices her profession or not. she has
not only a source of constant Joy In the
wider knowledge she possesses, but she
has the tclld satlsfictlon of knowing that
she has an anchor to the windward. She
could support her
self If her husband
died or deserted her.
She would not have
to continue living
with him uncer con
ditions that make
marriage a putga
toiy, as so many
women do because
her husband is her
meal ticket and she
would starve with
out him.
There are many
professlo n and
trades to which a girl may be trained by
which she could make a living If need be,
and which will add to her efficiency as
a wife ar.d mother If she doesn't need to
support herself. The woman who Is a
fine musician or a competent artist can
find dally scope for her trained talents
In her home. So can the teacher and the
klndcr-iartner.
The girl who Is a graduate of a business
college can run her household accounts
with more system than the woman who
can't add up the grocery book. The girl
who can make her own hats and gowns
well enough to pet a Job In a millinery or
dressmaking establishment can dress ten
times as well as the bungling amateur
sewer, and the bride who Is a domestic
keienco expert wll cauBO her husband to
call down blessings on her head. .
times admiration for efficiency carries
this beyond the bounds of normal human
action Into almost machine-like pre
cision. Money does seem to be the god of the
modern world, but, after all, it is mere
.seeming. And underneath his hurry and
bustle and high tension and Irascibility
the man of today Is 'a kindly, fatherly
sort of person if only you know him.
Of course. If you approach any human
being with a flustered feeling that he ls
a money-making machine and must be;
placated with all gentleness he la likely!

you take him to be.
But styles in men fit styles In times.
Today a gallant courtier with powdered
wig and satin breeches would be de
cidedly an anachronism. Strong men
tality and power probably flourished in
the days when men wore patches on!
their faces, shook out ruffles and walked ,
with mincing steps. Those externals'
would be absurd now, and so, too, would
be the methods and manners that fitted '
in with them. )
The world today is In a state of rapid
change. It Is advancing from movement,
to movement, and the man who does not'
vant to be hopelessly left behind In j
weak, old-fogyiHhness must move with It.
Efficiency, strong determination and !
clear-sighted vision of the goal ahead are;
needed to make the man of today sue-'
cessful. lie cannot stop to consider
times. He cannot always be as gentle ,
and kind as his heart may dictate. But j
sturdy honesty and decent consideration
of others will never go out of style. HlBh !
Ideals are as important as they ever were.
There may be model "robber" barons ,
and "captains of high finance" whose
success Is based on the fact that they
"get away with It." But there were ;
feudal lords of exactly the same sort In
the olden times. And so today the "per-
feet knight without fear and without r-!
proach" lives wen as he did In the days '
o.' romance.
Affection and love and longing for a
home and all that It means Have not
i Koita out of style because a few lone.y
I old bachelors and unhappy married men
j live In clubs. The modes of living have'
i changed, but the Individuals who live a
I la 1915 are Just the same,
j The man of today is not a brute or
coldly calculating In hln attitude toward
woman. He Is just a rather svliUh, selt
abrorbed creature ho Is racing to keep
abreast of the times, and who gives his
best when it is asked of him, and not
when his worst is demanded.
After all, people are very much what
we think them. They respond to our
Ideals and to our demands. If we look
at the world kindly and feel that human
nature Is a pretty decent thing, and that
most men are gentlemen and not raven- i
lng wolves, we generally find our theory
based on fact.
Styles In men may change, but a gen
tleman always will be gentle and kind
and willing to give others the benefit of
the doubt, and a real man always will be
willing to fight for the light as he sees It.

Narrow Religious Prejudices
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
(Copyright. 1915. Star Company.)
It seems curious In these days of
broad thinking and liberal religions to
find a friendship Imperiled Ui rough a
difference of religious belief.
A young woman
writes as follows:
"Why cannot we
all believe the
same doctrines? I
have a friend who
threatens to cease
being my friend;
she is a sincere
and faithful Ro
man Catholic and
so are my par
ents, but I am
not a follower of
that creed. My life
has been full of
minor trials, but I
welcome them all
and try to make
mm
r
J -
the best of my
situation. My God comes first of all In
my thoughts. In Him I trust, but this
fact does not satisfy my friend. She
really believes I am doing wrong; It
is impossible for ber to change her
views and Impossible for me to change
mine. My mother Is an angel, and I
have never told tier that I do not fol
low her creed because It would pain
her too much; but my friend knows it
and worries a great deal about me and
threatens to stop all associations with
me If I do not come Into her line of
thought. What can I do about It?"
Meantime here Is another case of a
Protestant young woman who possssfts
all desirable qualities, but she refuses to
marry a man because he Is a Catholic.
The young lady has chanced upon an
exception to the rule of liberality which
marks the Koman Catholic. he should.

where in its intricate, whirring brass
(nsidPB its old heart skips a beat.
If ever you are suddenly, some
where, in your snug room of a win
ter's night, or drinking your gloss of
red wine at a friend's table, or play
ing bridge with your friend's friends,
caught with a strange sense that
mother earth halted for Just a
breath, Jarring the steady old feet
under your body, that time's heart
not let the situation distress her. Neither
will the woman who is capable of a
genuine love, which would make her a
worth while wife Hnd mother, allow a
matter of creed to separate her from a
good man who is fond of her.
Different creeds are different roads to
the same goal. Several of us may start
out in the morning bound for one des
tination; one may take the short cut; one
may take the long cut; one may go over
the hill; one may go around the hill; one
may go by water; one may go by motor
car; one by train; yet all wilt meet at
the same place In the end.
I must do as you do? Your way, I own.
Is a very Kood way. And still.
There are omutlnn- two straight roads
to a town
One over, one under, the hill.
You are treading the safe and the well
worn way,
That the prudent chooae each time;
And you think me recklt-H and rash to
day Hec-auhe I prefer to climb.
Your path is the rUht one, and so is
mine.
We are not like peas In a pod.
Compelled to lie in a certain line.
Or else be scattered abroad.
'Twere a dull old world, m thinks, my
friend,
If we all went Just one way;
Yet our paths will nut, no doubt, at the
end,
Though they lead apart today.
You like the shade, and I like the sun;
You like an even pace;
I like to mix with the crowd and run.
And thtn rest after the race.
I like danger and storm and strife;
You like a peaceful time;
I like tne passion and surxe of life;
You llku Its gentle rhymu.
You like -buttercups, dewy sweet.
And erocuxes, f rained in snow;
I like roses born of the heut,
And the red ca million's low.
I must live my life, not yours, my friend,
For so It was written clown;
We muat follow our given paths to the

But I trust we shall meet- in town.

getting unbearable. 1 hold a good paying
position and would not Ilka to leave It,
as I am a poor girl and every cent I
bring home Is a help. My parents know
nothing about this. If thev did they
would Insist on my leaving, which would
mean more suffering and hard work for
them. DISGUSTED,
Suppose you ask these men If they
