"I have heard country girls talk of coming' to the city for cmpiovmeru,' says a ladv writer in the Cincinnati Coimnereial-Gazette, "and they have given as one reason that thor wanted more social life. Well, that is just what they will not get. The woman or business busi-ness is not a woman of leisure, and she has no time for society-, fcho will find more social life in her own home, even if she be a worker, than she could ever have in the city, and there is no lonc-someness lonc-someness more absolute than the loneliness lone-liness of a stranger in a crowd. Salaries Sal-aries are not larjfe enouph to permit of such relaxation in the way o recreation, recrea-tion, and after the day's, w oak is over one is too tired to go in search of enj, ,y-ment. ,y-ment. !
