dressed girl ; the girl with a few superficial accomplishments, 

 who oftentimes in a longing for luxuries heyond her means grows 

 restless and discontented. The average young man who must 

 make his way, his own way in the world, quickly arrives at the 

 conclusion that without an ahundance of money or high social 

 position, it would be utter folly to attempt to make such a girl 

 satisfied and happy. Therefore he assumes an indififerent air ; 

 talks lightly of matrimony ; has it understood that he is not a 

 marrying man, although fond of women's society. The money 

 that he might have put by for the purpose of building a modest 

 home is used selfishly and extravagantly in an attempt to keep 

 up an appearance of social standing. He cultivates an egotistical

 once won the love and respect of a good man, to have it sHi) 

 away from her through either her own carelessness or ignorance. 



First of all, la}^ well the foundations of a perfect home- 

 maker by learning to be a good cook, a systematic and tidy 

 housekeeper, an excellent needle woman who understands the art 

 of darning and mending, for "A dollar saved is a dollar earned," 

 and by painstaking care in this direction, you may almost double 

 a man's income. When you feel yourself so thoroughly profi- 

 cient in these accomplishments that you may unhesitatingly take 

 your place beside the man you love as his helpmate, to encourage 

 and assist him on the road to greatness and prosperity, you stand 

 ready to fill the sacred mission for which you were intended. 



Now, did you ever see a man catch a colt? He puts some 

 oats in a little pan and goes to the field, where he stands quietly 

 and shakes the pan until the colt hears the rattle of the oats 

 and comes prancing up. But the man never runs after the colt 

 and don't you ever run after a man. When the colt becomes in-
