without flinching, the crushing blows
that come to everyone.
Those who insist that the flapper
will not make a good housekeeper arc
wrong, for girls today cook and sew,
know how to manage a house on an
economical basis, and in addition to
this arc prepared to tiAkt their own
living whenever they i;it tired spong
ing off their father.
They let no
grass grow under thrr fee , when they
work, they work, 'when they play,
they play. They do not think that
they are too good to earn their dai'"
bread, and they earn it efficiently.
Have the girls, by their actions and
seeming equality with men, ceased to
command their respect? Wc answer
"no.'' The very fact that they have
shown that they arc not dependent on
men for a livelihood or for happiness
must call forth the respect of every
honest man. Perhaps they arc out
to "have a good time," for they realize
that they arc young onl yonce. What
if they arc indiscreet at times? Who
is there that has never been guilty
of indiscretion or of misdemeanor?
Our girls arc no worse than their
mothers and grandmothers but the
world has changed and they have
progressed with it.

Could understand your secrets well,
Of all mankind I'd wisest be
About creation's mystery.
But one clear view of each and all
The contents hid within your wall
Would glorify this mortal clod.
And lift me nearer unto God.
Open your nucleus to me,
For as a child I long to see;
To give the world a priceless tome
About your minute centrosome.
Perhaps within your nucleolis
You have more power than old Aeolis
With his winds. Your vacuole
May hold the secret of the soul.
With proteid, fat, and mineral
And your primordal uticle
All know to me (an oil globule
