PROBLEMS OF THE
BACHELOR GIRL.
Tliat the bachelor girl is a unique
and ehahning evolution of modern
life is no longer denied by unprepu
diced people. She is ,of necessity
more vivid and entertaining than the
ordinary girl who lives her life in the
midst of a solicitous family. She
usually possesses personality and her
manner of life gives her the oppor
tunity of developing it along the lines
that make a strong appeal to men
But delightful and capable as the
bachelor girl is, she is often lacking
in sound judgment, though she may
believe firmly that she is able to
fake care of herself. And right here
lies the difficulty. Because she has
proved herself capable of self-support
she is apt to be a bit "heady,” and
believe that she has freed herself of
conventions and may lead her life
after her own free will. But this is
a mistake. No girl, and least of all
ihe working girl, can afford to scorn
conventions. The mere fact that she
Is earning her living and doing use
! ill work in no way alters her rela
lions to the outside world. On the
contrary it lays upon her the neces
sity of being more discreet. Because
she lias no brother or father or fam
ily to protect her name and reputa
tion she must in her own behalf be
extremely careful to do nothing that
will smirch either. The girl who has
actually stepped out from the home
circle and battled with the world and
overcome It to the extent of wresting
a livelihood from it is apt to feel
proud or rather secure She has
proved her strength, so she thinks.
Her pride is justifiable, but her se
curity is foolish. The conventions
of life often mean very much. They
have gradually come into being after
many years, and have on the whole
proved themselves good for the pro
tection of women for whom they were
designed. One is apt. to think at first
that they work in very small ways,
but they work for the happiness of
girls and not against that happiness,
and they work as surely for the
bachelor girl living alone as for the
girl living with her people. Because
she Is living alone and working for
her living does not in any way entitle
i £ to do the things she could not

do if she were living at home. It
cannot be too often or too strongly
impressed upon girls in general, and
tne bachelor girl in particular, that
she should use judgment and common
sense in the seeking of pleasure. She,
more tha n other girls must be eco
nomical in her manner of living. It
is rather cold comfort to recommend
dignity and self-respect to girls thirst

whose days, perhaps, are spent in
drudgery, but say what one will, these
two traits are the unprotected girl's

ANOTHER ROOM FOR

Another room has been endowed
at the Tech hospital, the contributor

who has endowed a room i n memory

Besides the rooms, there are two
wards to be endowed, the equipment
of the hospital now depending on the
endowment of the various rooms. It
is the hope of the president of the
Institution to have the hospital open

possible unless the equipment has
been secured.
The amount to endow a room Is

Is charman of the hospital committee
of the Georgia federation. Since ttie
bill has been presented in the house
asking for an appropriation for the
establishment of hospital facilities at
all state educational institutions, the
necessity for the appropriation is be
ing emphasized by those in a position
to know condiUons. Already a fund
has been raised which assures the
building of the infirmary at the uni
versity at Athens, where the Craw
ford Long memorial will take that
form. The educational committee of
the Georgia federation of clubs have

the role of hostess at Beechwood,
Colonel Astor’s fine old mansion on
Bellevue avenue, the house built by
the late August Belmont. It was
from Beechwtmd that Mrs. Belmont,
daughter of one great commodore and
niece of another, drove In her stately

sold the place to William Astor, the
father of Colonel Astor, about 25 years
ago.
"Beechwood has a ballroom added
by the late Mrs. Astor; it has walls of
gold and heavy old Flemish furni

room, eloquent of her love for the
fashions of her youth. The Aster
name has been ilosely linked with the
history of Newport during recent
years. This very week the races for
the Astor cup are a feature of the
New York Yacht Club cruise
"Colonel Astor, aside from other
sports that have brought him into
greater prominence, Is one of the best
and swiftest tennis players at New
port and Miss Force also plays a fine
game. Aside from his recreations, his
inventions are said to be sufficiently
valuable to have brought him a large
fortune had this not been accomplish
ed for the men of his family by the
first John Jacob Astor, who came
from Waldorf In Germany and who
died In New York in 1846. One gets
an altogether different notion In re
gard to Colonel Astor In reading about
his Inventions. He Is credited with a
pneumatic machine that received first
prize at the world’s fair tn 1893; with
a turbine engine j a vibratory disinte

GIRL EMPLOYES BARRED.
The big railroads of the country
have locked their doors against the
women folk. They don't want ’em
hanging ’round making eyes at the
trousered office help, chewing gum
and talking all the time.
The concensus of opinion among
railroad officials is that:
Girls are inclined to flirt and waste
their time.
They primp, powder and manicure
during business hours.
They chatter and tie up the busy
telephone lines.
They get married as soon as they
get efficient. #
They hold places of men who could
go up In the service.
The Southern Pacific started the
war on the feminine office force with
an order that no more girl stenog
raphers shall be employed. The Bur
lington, the Northwestern and other
big systems fell into line.
Girls may or may not be a success
in the railroad business, but they are
there with the hells on in the rest of
the business world. The big mail or
der house** say they couldn’t get along
without them.
These businessmen unanimously
champion *.he girls’ cause because,
they say:
Giris are reliable, quick to learn
and efficient.
They rnir.d their own business, don’t
smoke, chew tobacco and talk base-

It comes to a matter of fashion. And
some of theffe very wise milliners and

autumn girl. Many of them even
traveled all the way to Paris or Vien

"Will the autumn girl wear puffs

"D'-ar, no," replied ft milliner who

Broad St
New York.—Despite the heavy
thunderstorms yesterday Mrs. William
Fore. , im j p f . r daughter, Madeline,
went up and down flic avenue In a
taxi Iron? shop to shop busy order
ing gowns and furbelows for the ap
prn;i< hlng wedding, which it would

family, will be soon.
At opr* of the most fashionable Fifth
avenue Shops, where the Forces have
recently been buying their clothes, It
II t the manager !r now in
I .11 Is for tin express purpose of «»
‘‘‘■ting the bridal robe for Miss Force.
He will return with this and other
gov\ ns es the trousseau during the lat
ter part <•!: this month, it was said a*
the shop.
At Louis* s ( on Fifth avenue, a beau
tiful princes- frock of tmbroiderui
white, laco trimmed, has Just been fin
ished, find u number of other simple,
girth h, high-walsted white frocks,
which rtre Intended for wear from now
on, ave Just been ordered.
Of course, ns the real winter mode*
will noi he established before the end
-f August, it is doubtful whether Miss
Force will have her more elaborate
gowns ordered before that time. It
is absurd to think that the Astor home
will he used for tin- wedding, both on
account of thi unconvfhtionallty—that
oj having the bride wedded In other
than her own domicile and also b< -
can e of tire fact that Colonel Astor is
legally barred from re-wedding in this
state.
That tlm Forces are not averse to
‘pending money in shopping was ad
mitted ye fterday at one of the most
expensive and fashion;.ble shops In the
city
“Ml • Force and her mother seem
to have unlimited means," said one es
tablishment “and buy what they wish
without thinking of what it may cost.
They are new but splendid custom
ers.”
At the Force home the family de
nied themselves to callers, and when
asked when the wedding would tak*
pluee Mrs. Force sent out word that
“I have nothing at all to say at this
time.”
