Answer: There is no reason why an unmarried woman should not adopt | a child; and very many reasons why she should if she finds her life empty | and she has the maternal hunger that many women have. 1 do not think that there is any finer or nobler thing that a woman can possibly do than to take a little homeless and friendless child and give it a real home and a mother's love and tenderness. It is the saving of & life from something far worse than physical death, and the good one does in rearing up & man or woman, with Nigh and noble ideals and good principles, does not end with that individual. It stretches on and on to their children and their children’s children into eternity. # I think that you will get far more happiness out of adopting & child ot your own for keeps than you will out of the borrowed babies of your friends and relatives. It is the same difference there is between owning your own automobile and getting a 1ift now and then from a kindly disposed friend. Various motives enter into your desire for & child. For one thing, you want & child to love and a child to love you. You can have only a warm affection for the half dozen or so children to whom you play fairy godmother and whom you have with you for only a little while at a time, and for whom you have no responsibility. But If you adopt & baby that is wholly yours, that you will have with you all the time, whose cunning little ways will be a ceaseless source of interest to you and whose mind and body you will watch develop day by day, you will soon come to love it with & real passion of mother love We notice this even in our with whom we have daily assoc smarter than any other children in the world always repeating. something of that sort, ursory contzcts with children. the ones ation that we think better | and whose cute sayings we are | You want to be loved. You want to feel the clinging of little arms about your neck. You want to feel that a child turns to you to weep out its sorrows on your breast. These you can only get from the child you adopt, which will give to you the affection that you crave. You will be its mother, not just its auntie, as you are to your friends' children. Finally, you will have the pleasure of developing the child you adopt in your own way and according to your own ideals, a8 you have no right to do with your friends’ children. And there is nothing else more interesting than to cultivate the sweet garden of a child’s mind.

Answer: There are a few Sir Galahads who reverence womanhood, and | who would protect a woman against themselves, but the great majority of men accord a woman the treatment she demands of them. Most men try out | every woman they meet. If a girl will let them kiss her, they will kiss her. If | she indulges in petting parties, they are great little petters.

As long as a woman goes quietly about her affairs, and keeps her eyes | before her, she can go from one end of the country to the other without be- | ing molested. If she behaves herself, men also behave, and they almost never try to force their attentions upon the girl who doesn't want them. Even bad | men respect good girls and help them to be good.
