'H These ghls are all daughters of re- spcctablo patents, though uono of H them an; rich. Tho girls all wear H good clothes, and tho Millington girl, 'H at least, though she is only seventeen v years old, Is so badly over-dicsscd that people wonder what her mother can H be thinking about. The girl boasts H among her friends that she docs not H Intend to learn to cook, and that she H will never have to. Her father went H thiough the bankruptcy court last H j ear. Old settlers say the Millington H girl's mother used to make the same H boasts. One of her father's creditors H was a baker whom Millington owed H f 215 for bread, pics and cookies bought H since 18!)1. Tho Post girl is a new- H comer, but she brags that no woman H can "learn her to cook like her mother 'H can." She can make ten kinds ot ,H c.iudy, four kinds of cake, and six 'l kinds of things with whipped cream. l Rut she doesn't know trailed meat l from biollcd meat, and has never 1 cooked a meal in her life. Shu doesn't '1 even know-how to boll potatoes with Al their Jacket son. Il The Harthiiigton girl is a snappy 1 little piece, who knows a lot of boy -1 stonlcsand Is all the time making breaks and laughing at them. She 'H looks at the ground when sho walks, 'il and minces along as though she was too nice for this world. She is always giuntingon wash day and her poor mother hasn't had a new dress since 1888, though Myrtlo is dicssed to kill. H John Slow by is a railroad man. He has been married for three years. He turns his money over to his wife every pay day and she has bills for canned H goods and ready-made food at six , grocery stores. Their grocery bill is H over $:so a month, and John can't see H whcicltgocs. Ho should look hi tho 'H slop bucket. Half the food sho cooks ',H Is spoiled and none of It Is ever made ,H The ghls say (hero isn't a single 'H button on Kai lie Rici's dicss, except ,H the foity-two buttons on tho back of H her shht waist. They call her the H human pin cushion. H That Is the kind of girls that avoid H tho cooking school. They arc not B houscinakcrs, and Logan boys who H aie looking for honest girls who will H help make a living should pass them , up. They also llht with ttavcling H men, and voting fellows claim Dial ou can love them tho second night ; you call. Thcso are harsh words, the cause is a great one, and Tho Rcpubll- , can behoves that the end Justifies tho j means. If girls can't go to cooking t, school, they can at least show respect '' for it by stopping their gadding for a ll few days. M |
