A NUMBER OF THINGS fIlINGS Which Is a fact that fe few women ever find out For the trouble with Ith women Is Js that they are specialists who set their F hearts upon some pal pai thing and If it they

Of Or course life Is full of and disappointments of and heartache and f work and worries But it is also full of pleas pleas- pleasures pleasures ures urea and Joys of smiles and laughter and en ene en- en e e and It is literally true that hap hap- happiness is a matter of self determination We 5 can take it or leave It as we please And the pity of It Is that women choose to tobe be miserable instead of happy because they Dl concentrate their every thought upon the un- un unpleasant Unpleasant un unpleasant pleasant thing in ID their lots Instead of pushIng push- push pushing ing mu Ing aside their annoyances and making the most of their blessings They prod themselves with the thorns In their pathway instead of gathering the flowers that bloom along It t THERE T HERE are for or

jell jell youths and being around to the soda ater counter and the mo les zoo lea Getting married married Isn't the only alluring thing a girl can do doIn doIn doin In these days She can go into business or study a profession and the woman who espouses a career Instead of a man has at least something she can depend upon and that wont won't fall she gets gets forty and fat Any able bodied Intelligent woman can make as good a living for herself as a husband would like to give her She can set up her ov OY n home She can travel go to places of amusement entertain ln herself In a million

lamentations 0 oser er their sad ad fates Nobody will deny that It is a blighting sorrow to a woman to 10 have her romance torn to tatters to have bavo bet hei hust and he hei Chumming turu turn Into a domestic ogre but oven even so she is foolish to ta let lether lether lether her disappointment ruin her whole life lICe The world Is still full of a number of things for her She has her children on whom to lavish her affection and to com corn comfort comfort fort her with their love and she the can never want for a vital hu human man Interest as long as they live Very often the man who is a poor husband Is a good pro pro- provider provider vider If he does not give his wife the companionship she craves he does give her unlimited credit at the bank and while a good house end and pearls and a limousine may not wholly com corn compensate for the finer things of life they are not to be despised as a II consolation prize THER women complain and whine because they ha ha have hae e to work be because because bev OTHER O cause they are poor and luau have IUIe e a to w wrestle restie continually with the problem lem of o making ends meet Because the they have to use live in dull places and their lives are a round of oC monotonous duties of duties ot pounding the same old uller day after day of o standing behind the same counter and sell selling sellIng log ing the became same goods of ot cooking the same meals and washing the tile same dishes and wiping the tho same little noses They will not see sec that we get out of af life just we weare we are determined to have and that we find It flat stale and unprofitable able or full of pep just as we please We can be bored to death by our dally daily jobs or find them the most Interesting and exciting things in the world There is Just as much romance and adventure on Main street as there Is on Broadway BroadNay The woman who keeps the corner grocery Is Just as interesting a personality and probably knows more of real life than the c grand dame who is the arbiter of the four hundred As long as ai there Is Ia work to do ladders to climb children to rear men and women to talk to books to read sunsets to see there is la no excuse far anyone any one having a dull moment The world Is so to full of such a number of things to enjoy AND ND even een es e en when the great crushing sorrows sorrow s a of ot life lICe come and
