There can he no doubt that the day! when she opens her first salnry en- velope is one of the most eventful in & young woman's life. At first it seems almost incredible to Riverygirl that this money she holds in her hand Is actu- aly her own because she earned It, and not because somebody gave it to! her.

Once acquired, the habit of earning money fixes itxelf upon her with hooks of steel, and the unwillingness of the Wwage-earning woman to surrender her Job for the dependence and prodlemat!- cal rewards of marriage is becoming more ail more apparent as more and more Priscillas take up the new Pil- Grim’s Progress. ‘The first thi | Priscilla did with her first salary move away from St. Gebastian'’s Homo for Respectable Girls an@ take a small room in @ boarding} house recommended to her by Miss Worldly Wise Woman, And after o! had drawn her salary a few times sh Jost magically the first foolish sense of shame she had felt in being If-sus- |taining member of society—or, as Priscilla called it,*in “having to work,” At first, when Priscilla stepped im the doors of the big publishing house every moruing she had ex- perlenced the fear that someboay from her home town might be in Mew York aud might see her en- @aged in the humiliating business of earning a living. And she was actually sorry that ciroumstances had compelled her to abandon t! Ufe of sex-parasitism to which had seemed to be condemned by birth, But as Priscilla accepted more and more the downtown standard which re- garde futility and uselessness as fall- ure, she grew to feel very sorry for the foolish, overdecked, dependent women he aw about town—to be, in fact, al- most as sorry for them as they pro-| feased to be for her. For she saw the) “twelve-pound look” upon all thetr faces, and once, even, a pretty little parasite dropped her mask of com- Placency when Priscilla said to her: “Anne, why do you tell so many les?” | “Because I have to please people, he- cause I have to make them ilke me!” ‘burst out the pretty parasite whom Prisctila’s extraordinary rudeness had goaded to truth-teliing. ‘Because if men Gon't I!ke me they won't take me out; because if women don't like me they won't invite mo to parties, and if Tm not popular I can't t married, and what will become of me then?
