Women In Business.

Women who go into business, from either
choice or necessity, should acquire bust
ness habits, adopt business methods and
possess themselves Of all knowledge of de-
tails and general information. There
should be no sentiment about it; they should
expect no immunity from disagreeables on
the score Of being ladies'" their pros
pect Of marriage should have no more eff
feet on their work than it has with that Of
men. Their dress should suit the require
ments of the occupation In no dress does
a girl look neater, prettier or more graceful
than that adopted for gymnastics or lawn
tennis both Of which give fullest play for
all amusements. How much better would
many working girls look and feel and work
in such dresses than in the gaudy, tawdry
tinery so many Of them wear. These
should have their business suits Just as
men do. They should also realize that in
obtaining employment weak backs and pale
faces and general debility are at dis
count. They should expect no favors on
the score Of sex; they should call for no
privileges; they should call for no foolish
notions as TO chivalry and Difference, and
all that Business Is business and this is
not an age Of chivalry, but an age OF politi.
Gal economy and the survival Of the fttiest.
