Women and Money.

by the author OF "John Halifax, Gentleman"
In the Contemporary Review.
Every girl who is not entirely depen-
dent on her male relations--a position
which, considering all the ups and downs
of life, the sooner she gets out the bet
ter-ought by the time she Is old enough
to possess any money TO know exactly
how much she has, where II IL invested,
and what 1t ought yearly to bring In. BY
this time also she should have
acquired soma knowledge OF Dusl-
ness-bank business, referring to
checks, dividends, and so on--and
as much OF ordinary business as she can.
To her information Of practical kind
never comes amiss, especially the three
golden rules, which have very rare ex.
ceptiops: No investment Of over per
cent is really safe trust no one with
your money without security, which
ought to be as strict between the nearest
and dearest friends as between strangers;
and lastly, keep all your affairs from day
TO day In as accurate order as II you had
to die tomorrow. The mention OF dying
suggests another necessity-as soon asyou
are twenty'one years OF age make your
will. You will not die day the sooner;
you can alter II whenever you likej while
the ease Of mind 1t will be TO you, and the
trouble itmay save to those that come
after you, are beyond telling. IL cannot
be too strongly impressed upon every girl
who has or expects that not undesirable
thing, Dan Income OF her own" what a
fortunate responsibility this is, and how
useful she may make 1t TO others.
Happier than the lot OF many married
women is that OF the "unapproprlated
blessing" as have heard an old maid
called, who has her money, less or more,
in her own hands, and can use II as she
chooses, generally as wisely, without
asking anybody's leave, and being &C.
countable for II TO no one. But then she
must have learned from her youth upward
how 10 use IL, she must not spare any
amount Of trouble in the using OF II, and
she must console herself fofmany lonely
regret--we are but human, oil OF usl---
with the thought that she has been trusted
20 be steward OF the Great Master.
Such an old maid often does as much
good in her generation as twenty married
women.
