IS YOUR WORK A
MERE MAKESHIFT?
ARE YOU JUST HANGING ON
A LIMB WAITING FOR
MATRIMONY?
(By Mary E. Walker.)
I woke up yesterday. For IS years
I Imagined I. was a peach hanging
temptingly from my parent limb wait
ing to be plucked. 1 thought 1 was
clinging to the thin stem of a pro
fessloi as an excuse not to cast my
self at the head of the first man who
passed by.
At 16 my parents decided I should
prepare for self-support. School
teaching seemed eminently respect
able and 1 had an idea that it couldn’t
interfere with chances for matrimony.
I entered the normal school with light
hearted conviction that teaching
wouldn’t last long. I finished credit
ably, not from hard work, for it seem
ed useless to overstudy when I be
lieved matrimony was waiting for me
round the first corner. Yet how
shocked I was when a school lecturer
told us most girls in the trades were
professional failures because they
worked only as a means of support
till a man came along to furnish it!
I saved no salary my first year as
a teacher in another town. I sent
some to mother, spent the rest on
myself, and borrowed from father to
get home. 1 didn’t say in words,
"Why should I save when I hope to
be married?” but that was my uncon
scious thought.
1 Vacations 1 enjoyed t home or at
some resort. I returned to school
each fall with no more professional
or general knowledge than the day I
graduated. I wasn’t hunting a man!
I would have been angry if any one
had suggested it. 1 fancy many girls
feel the same way.
I asked for a larger salary my
third year. It was refused. Then,
through lack of funds, there came
the question of letting one teacher go.
I could best be spared, since, I was
told, I didn’t seem to have a vital in
terest in my work. Not flattering
professionally. How many girls who
work have thought deeply enough to
see the invisible husband as the rea
son for their being "let go?”
Soon afterward a better position
came through father's political in
fluence. I had good pay and easy
hours. 1 wore some stunning clothes,
made some lovely underwear, and cul
tivated social life. I read no books
on method, no professional magazine
that would put me in touch with edu
cational movements. Educated and
professional woman that I was, 1 was
standing still just as I would have
stood still mentally had my uncon
scious inclination been satisfied and a
husband plucked me from my parent
limb.
I lost that position by a reversal of
political influence. Instead of going
on to a better one I went back to the
cheap sort of school in which I had
begun. Yet my hopes weren’t dashed.
I knew there was the inevitable fem
inine way out—matrimony.
For my 22nd birthday father had
given me 10 shares in a building and
loan association. I kept up payment
for several years, scattered and un
businesslike, convinced it was my
right to be supported by a husband.
I wonder what would become of the
teaching profession if all the girls who
enter it waited as ardently for matri
mony as I did?
When father’s failure came I wasn’t
prepared to help him financially. In
deed, I remember I had said to him
years before, "Don't count on a girl’s
help, she is likely to get married any
time." in the face of my own self-ac
cusation I insist that every natural
girl has some such idea in the back
of her cranium, unless she's a suf
fraget from the cradle. It is how the
girl manages the idea that is the test
of her.
•
Now I am 34, I support mother. T
j still hang unplucked on my parent
| limb. I have Just waked up to see
where I have been tending all these
years.
Is it too late to start to better my
self professionally, to become forceful
as a teacher or at least to get a bet
ter Balary? Or shall I adhere to the
old maid’s motto, "While there’s life
there’s hope,” and keep on hoping?
At any rate when I see a girl who
isn’t getting on in her work, be Bhe
school teacher or kitchen maid, and
she blames all sorts of causes for her
non-progress, I want to say:

AMERICA SITS ON LID
OF VOLCANO OF HATRED
WASHINGTON NATIONAL GUARD
MAN WRITES WARNING LET
TER FROM ENGLAND.
(Seattle Times.)
That the people of the United States
are going blindly to destruction if the
wishes of the “peace-at-any-pricers"
are followed out, and that Great Brit
ain’s organizers — the duplicates of
which in America are opposing pre
paredness—are doing the greatest pos
sible amount of good, Is the assertion
of James H. Wingfield, a former mem
ber of Company A, Second Regiment
N. G. W., now in England.
In writing to the Times he gives the
following remarkable warning of the
attitude of the other nations of the
world toward the United States:
“Permit me to congratulate your
paper on its long and constant cam
paign for national preparedness. I’d
give half the remaining years of my
life if the Americans—my people—
could travel about during these times
and see the volcano of hatred and con
tempt they are sitting on.
"The United States today is a na
tion without an ally. My friends, you
should see as I am seeing the colossal
cost, suffering, waste and injustice
that is the price of Belgium’s unpre
paredness.
“Only by being In the war zone as
1 have been, seeing and feeling, can
one appreciate the grand part the
women and the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association of England are play
ing. And their wonderful determina
tion to carry this thing through to a
victorious end. Never a suggestion'
of peace have I heard, much less one
of ignoble peace so many of the peo
ple and semi-religious organizations
of the United States are demanding.
Unlike the English, similar American
organizations oppose preparedness.”
Describing some of his experiences
since reaching London, Wingfield,
who is now an inspector of Royal En
gineer Stores at Woolwich, Kent,
gives an entertaining word picture of
a recent Zeppelin raid as follows:
"Was in a ‘Zep’ raid recently. The
dozens of searchlights had her dead
and though very high she shone like
burnished silver in their blinding
glare. Numberless antiaircraft guns
filled the heavens with burstnig shells
as she dodged about blindly, seeking
a friendly cloud. As she passed be
yond range of one set of guns and
lights, others picked her up and the
skyline was one blaze of light from
searchlight beams and bursting shells.
The noise was terrific and the clirap
nel burst like flashing clusters of
stars. But Old Nick takes care of his
own, and brought them a cloud to
hide beyond, after having injured one
man, killed one horse, burning one
henhouse and roasting poor biddy.”

Most of the great battles which
were fought long ago were over in a
day. The famous engagements—
Waterloo, 6 hours; Sedan, 12% hours;
Gravelotte, 9 hours; Mars la Tour, 10
hours; Koniggratz, 8 hours; Alma,
3% hours; Leipzig, three days; Get
tysburg, three days.
