GIRLS WHO MARRY.

The girl who rests fairly late into the morning, gets up in leisurely fashion, dresses becomingly, taking her time’to avrango hair and toilette fro perfection, strolls out into the sunshine to meet her acquaintances, enjoys light, amusing lunch with friends, goes to a concert or plays games in the nfternon. dines out entertainingly, and “does’’ a play or dances at night, is daily (up to a certain prescribed limit of years) getting an added polish to her nails, her manner*, and her attraction. •She may be doing nothing that is really worth doing, but a man is not inclined to take that into consideration —she will get married . . .It by no means follows, however, that woman workers are oil her dull or sexless, though that i.-, what man generally supposes; j| only means that they cannot aspire to the usual devices for man-catching. I^ n man would only take them as they are, they might be very glad to have him; it is the normal thing for a woman to love man —and to want him. But to be taken as they are is almost out of the question, so the woman who works when she hasn’t got to, more often than not, is likely to remain unmarried. It never occurrs to man to call the insipid little miss who idles about all day and jazzes all night, “sexless”; it would often seem to us to rather “jump to the eve” that she was too unintelligent to be a good companion, ahd too shallow for passion, but a man doesn’t seem to think of that till afterwards.— From “Nails,” by Edith Lane and Fanny Macnamara.

Amateur wireless enthusiasts, | with receiving apparatus, are shortly to be given a weekly concert by the Marconi Company, the British Post Office having granted the necessary license. There are now some 7,000 amateur receiving stations ia Great Britain, and applications for licences are steadily flowing in. “The aim of the concerts,”’ explained an official of the Marconi Company, “will be to assist amateurs in the development of the science of wireless and enable them to test wave-lengths.” The highpower Marconi station at Chelmsford was. recently dismantled, and a low-power one, which will transmit only to British ranges, is to be, erected. It will be froAi that station that the weekly wireless concert will be transmitted.
