Teach Them to Work. The poorest girls in the world are those who have never been taught how to work. There are thousands of them. Rich parents have petted j them; they have been taught to despise labor and to depend on others for a living, and are perfect ly helpless. If misfortune comes upon their friends, as it often does, their case is hopeless. [ The most forlorn and miserable women on the j face of the earth belong to this class. It belongs to parents to protect their daughters from this i deplorable condition. They do great wrong if they neglect it. Every daughter should be taught to earn a living. The rich as well as the poor re quire this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around. The rich may become poor and i poor rich. TO CORRESPONDENTS.
