By Nixola Greeley-Smith, HERE are two iT occupations | for woman, }one’ of which has en hers from the ginning of time, the other = largely } ased uponschanges n Industrial condl- loas which’ have } akepn place In the J ast hundred years, The first is the an- ‘lent and honorable y task of looking for a husband, The second any way of making an honor- able living for herself without attempt- ing to shift the burden, Now, both of these tasks are all right yin thelr way. But they are utterly ir- reconcilable, and this is Just a word of warning to youns women who en+ deavor to combine the two and follow thelr daily tasks with the play that is the hardest kind of work, The girl who pursues the actlve man hunt with the zeal that the Object justifies has no time to devote to mere work, And she who wishes to make a success of whatever profession she has chosen must he content to let 4 husband fina) her, as she will have no lelsure for tna| ohare, There are, however, workingwomen who do not realize this, who give elgit or ten hours to work down town and then after dinner jump into evening vlothes and go to dances ‘or to ,the theatre thinking they are able to stand the same strain as girls who have dono novhing ali day except get ready for the fray and who will have all the néxt ‘lay to sleep off the effects of Inte hours, Now, the underlying purpose of most social functions Js distinctly of a mateh- making order, They are given that youngwmen and women may meet under the most congenial circumstances and find favor with each other, and for the girl whose whole being ts bent upon se- curing a husband can combine business and pleasure by attgnding them. The workingwoman needs amusement 4nd relaxation, too, And she can In- dulge in the same, recreations as her |more Indolent sister, in a moderate de- , Bree, without the effécts being felt in her work and, what Is even more Im- | portant, In her ‘hea! | But there are girls who work until 5 or 6 o'clock every day and are up until 12 or 1 nearly every night, No constitu-| tion can stand a strain like this. It is all very well for the girl who has noth- {ing else to do, It Is indeed part of her ; business—the pursuit of man, But no | workingwoman who values her health ‘und her profession can afford to do It. She-may not feel any the worse for It for years, just as men do not who pur sue the same foollsh course, but !t must tell on even the strongest constitution in the end, Besides, the workingwoman has ample opportunities of meeting el:- wible men without taking too much ad- vantage of the opportunities artificially created for women of a narrower sphere, oe Worth the Money. ure I have!
