GIRL OF THE FUTURE HER ASSURED POSITION WILL MAKE LIFE PLEASANTER. In the Family Kach Humber Will Hr aJIaterial I’ruilucer and Many of the in. That Vex the Spirit of Today Will Ceuuo to Annoy—A Happy Fronpoet. Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens gave a bright tails on "The Girl of the Future" at the Church of Our Father. She made a protest against the old idea that woman must be a household drudge. "The? married girl of the future,” she said, "will be set free by co-operative methods, half the families on a square enjoying one luxurious, well appointed dining room, with expenses divided pro rata among the families who are its proprietors. Another section of housekeeping will be simplified by the girl of the future—cooking. Good cooks may be rare; but all cooking Is overdone. We are passing dangerously through tiro era of animal sacrifice, sweetened starch, boiled dough and celluloid pie. The girl of the future will abandon these means of suicide ami adept a wholesome, natural diet, largely of the fruits which come to us in such orderly succession aod generous abundance, ready for use, an economy of time and labor and money, and especially of health, which is beyond present computation. " Honsecleaning will not bo a bugaboo to the gi. 1 of the future. It was a woman who wrote that melancholy poem expressing the desire to ‘die in autumn time. She wanted to get away before the fall cleaning set in. The house of the future will be cleaned skillfully and thoroughly by companies organized for that purpose. It will be the work of a day, not the dread of months and the labor of weeks. Its results will be a sense of freshness and immunity from disease, instead of backache, nervous prostration, collapse and an influx of patent medicine. "The girl of the future then will select her own avocation and take her own t raining for it. If she be a house worker, as a majority prefer to be. she will be so valuable on that line as to command great respect and good wages. If she be an architect or jeweler or an electrical engineer or a steam plow driver, she will not rob a cook by mutilating a dinner or a dressmaker by amateur cutting and sewing or a milliner by erecting her own bonnet, not a bit sooner than she will buy pine and brimstone and make her own matches and embarrass the original Blue Hen. "Matches are satisfactory already. Cooking will be when cooks choose their profession for love of it and are trained and [iaid and honored and people are fined who cook without knowing how. The dressmaker by choice and preparation will be an artist, and the girl of the future will not come apart at unseasonable times in public places. •So it will be seen that, although a minority of the girls of the future will sometimes choose ami prepare to be law yera or or civil engineers, instead of housekeepers, the home of the future and the husband —and in this case he spells it with a big H —will not be left to the mercy of incompetent and exasperating servants. Not at all. The sewing girl of the future will not be a servant, except in that general sense in which we are all servants in just so far as we servo humanity. We are servants in too small a degree, every one of us. The house helper will not be incompetent, because the development and training of woman for her best and truest work will have extended to her. and she will be uiaid of housework because she loves it and is better adapted to it than to any other employment. She will preside in the kitchen with skill and science, and you will not pay her $0 a month and ask her to take as part of her wages a dirty woolen petticoat and a pair of mismatad slioes, importunate for repairs: neither will yon underfeed her and offer her a precarious ironing board across two chairs for a bed. "The service girl of the future will be paid perhaps double or treble her present wages, with wholesome food, a cheerful room, an opportunity to see an occasional cousin and some leisure for recreation. At present this would be ruinous, and why? Because too frequently the family has only one producer. The wife is the consumer, producing only more consumers. Daughters grow up and around a man like ‘lilies of the field. They toil not. neither do they spin. And yet 1 say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of tnese. 1 "As 1 began to say, every member of every family of the future will be a producer of some kind and in some degree. The only one who has the right of exemption is the mother, for a child can hardly lie born with cheerful views of living whose mother's life has been for its sake a double burden. From this root spring melancholy, infidelity, insanity, suicide. The production of human souls is the highest production of all. the one which requires most preparation, truest worth, gravest care aud holiest consecration. If the girl of the future recognizes tliis truth, she will have made an advance indeed. But apart from this condition every member of the family should bo a material producer, and then the producer in the kitchen will get such remunoraatiou fur her skill as will forbid her to be the hopeless, shirking, migratory creaturii.of today. . _ . _

i r, 3lucL might he said of what the girl of tho future will not do. but time forbids. She will occupy desirable positions and owe her success to her fitness £tnd ; worth. She will hold and enlarge her I place in the professions. She will almost i monopolize lighter occupations. She will fill a majority of tho government offices. She will be chief of division, head of bureau. consul, superintendent of industrial schools, director of insane, inebriate and orphan asylums. She will he on the civil service commission, immigration boards, hoards of health, inauguration committees, college faculties, in senate and house, probably on the supreme bench, possibly in tho cabinet, perhaps in tho president’s chair.”—Washington Star. A Scheme That Failed. A certain young man invented a novel plan for causing his landlady to linger in regard to asking him for her much overdue board bill. He was several weeks behind, and his landlady was seriously contemplating ejectment. He was painfully conscious of the tardiness. Last Wednesday he addressed a postal to himself stating that §40 was left to his credit in a certain local bank. All would have been well had not the landlady examined the postal closely. Bite discovered that the missive was written in the same handwriting as that of her delinquent boarder. He was ejected unceremoniously the same evening the postal was received at tho house.—Cincinnati Enquirer. COLUMBUS,HOPE&6REENSBURG. Crecnsb'rg Columbus to to Columbus Gre’nsb'rg STATIONS. Hally, ex.
