Marriage means more than q legal
union of man and woman, and it is
no woman s duty, educated or not, TO be
party to a compact which robs that re-

Good women in every station are looking
for fields of usefulness, and in most
cases they have been generously met by
men who are not afraid of the effect
upon women nor of contrast or of
crowding. CUISINES women is fast
becoming an accustomed phrase, and
what women now need most to learn is
the full import of business as attached to
their name. They need to learn that any
pursuit to be successful must be
faithfully followed, that no one, man or
woman, leaps to success, step by step
the ascent is made, and there must be
patient, persistent effort in the mastery
of details, a fixedness of purpose and
thorough apprenticeship before the top is.

is crowded and the garrett sparsely occu-
pied.
Women in business must learn business
methods, and just here it may seem ir-
relevant, but true it is, the tailor-made
gown, the hat and gloves, that require
no mirror for the adjusting are powerful
accessories to business methods. The
counting house and the office, the store
or the schoolIoom, are not the places
for coquetry or dress display. The most
winning qualities there are diligence
in business, strict attention to orders and
their faithful execution, and some day a
young woman who is careful in these
things, when she is least expecting will
have a rare man who can appreciate her.
