GRADUA TES BAN HOME
BUILDING AND BABIES
But There’* No Cause for Worry, Say* Famou* Writer,
For Some Day Love Will Make Them Forget i
All About Career*
By WINIFRED BLACK ^ I
No home—thank you. No children—if you please.
Just a career! $
That's the modern girl's idea of what’s what.
Don’t you believe it?—Well hist, harken to this:
One hundred and fifty-two girls are graduating
from the girls’ high school in San Francisco this
very June—and every single one of them wants to
be In actress, a musician, a aviatrix, a famous ten
nis star, a woman banker, or congresswoman—
anything but a wife and a mother.
Four of that class want to be nurses . Four
want to be teachers. Two want to be interior dec
orators. Two hope to be journalists. One wants
to be a famous cartoonist.
The class president, hopes to be a landscape
gardner.
She is going to the university in the Fall to
study for that particular career.
The president of the student body intends to be
a business woman, she is going to make money and
- lots of it or know the reason why.
WINIFRED BLACK Domestic science?—don’t make me laugh!
Why those girl don’t want to know the differ
ence between a biscuit and a muffin and what they don’t care about a
vacuum cleaner, you just simply can’t imagine.
Babies?— Oh, they are just too sweet for anything when somebody
else has them.
Husbands?—Well they have their
place in the world, but believe me
it's second place to the sweet girl
graduates of the San Francisco
High school.
I asked one about it the other day.
The one I asked is pretty as a
peach and as good as gold.
She was very, very patient with
me, bless her heart. Of course, I
was hopelessly mid-victorian. talk
ing about home and husbands and
oh, for goodness sake, babies—why
the very idea!
"Marriage,” said the Pretty
Peach, "oh, yes, I may marry some
time, but not till I have made a
success of my life.
"I am going to be a great news
paper woman. I am going to fires,
murder trials, divorce cases, politi
cal conventions and peace confer
ences and everything.
"And when I have made a name
for myself I may decide to have a
husband, but he needn't expect me
to give up my work to look after
him and his comfort.
"I'll take care of myself and let
him take care of himself.
"Love?—Oh. that's all very well
as a pastime like tennis or dancing
or making fudge on a nice snappy
winter afternoon—but as a vocation
—don’t make me laugh.”
And the Pretty Peach shook her
windblown bob and I nodded my
conservative bob—and that was
that.
Now I wonder whether she will
be married a* eighteen or v/ill wait
k
i
till twenty, and will she be happy
or miserable—poor little thing.
Worried about the girl?—Not L
They are just girls—yet.
Some day—the tears, the rapture,
the misery, and the joy of love will g
carry them so far away that they |
won't even remember that there is
such a thing as a career.
And then—but that after all Is
their business.
