The Ambitions of a Girl Graduate.
A Kansas girl graduate who had been given the theme "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy" promulgated the following: — "I do not care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in Missouri. I do not expect to bet the river en fire with my future career. I am glad that I have a \eiy good education, but I am not going to mi4UM> it by writing poetry or e&sayfc on ihe future woman. It will enablo me tc conect the grammar of any lover I may have should -he speak of ' dorga ' in my
presence or ' fecon a man.' 'It will also tome handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs at the groceiy, 6O I do not begrudge the t'mc I have spent in acquiring it. But my ambitions do not fly &o high. I just want to marry a man who can Lck anybody of his weight m the township, who can run an 80-ac-e farm, and who has no female relatives to come around and try to bo3s the ranch.
"I will agree to ccok dinners for him that won't send him to an early grave, and lavish tjpon him a wholesome affection, and to see that his razor h?s not been used to cut broom wire when be wants to shave. In view of all this. I do not care if I get a little rusry on the rule of three and kindred things as the years go by." — Kansas City Journal.
