It Ghould be easy for the intelligent moderna woman to fill, and still have some qualities left over. If “ghe doesn't AU) ft, is the fault his or hers? Is it because she has outgrown the little bag of tricke and graces which used to consti- tute her sole claim tc love and admiration? Some women think 0.

Why don’t you give the boys and girls a chance to tell each other their views of what marriage should be. Fifty cents on the dollar ts the only way to solve the problem of the wife's share of the income. If a man gets hold of the right girl there won't be any trouble on that score.

M. D. ARE ALL WOMEN GUILTY OF BE- ING MERCENARY? In marked contrast to this glowing tribute to the modern girl is a letter from a young man who asserts that all wonien, married and unmarried, are mercenary. He {s still unwedded, he | confides, because girls expect too much. | There may be other young fellows who hold similar views. There are many girls making excellent lvings for tnem- selves who refrain from marriage per- haps because the young fellows expect too much.
