any questions on that subject.
If you would know why American women

ing everything as well as a man, and some

| modest creed, she can't be satisfied till she
proves herself first among women, at least
of her own set. Undying rivalries, politi-
cal strifes do not cultivate lines of beauty.
Study the faces at women's conventions, re-
ligious, sufragist or club congresses. The
sharp, shrewd gaze of the calculating man.

Women With Dish Mouths.
have seen beautiful women drawn into
the excitements and rivalries of club life in
a few years show as hard and sinister faces
as you find in a gambling hall Between
the stout women with hard, bland faces and
set lips, and the slim, sinuous women with
dish mouths and the lack of all principle
searches in vain for face to love, face to
trust. There may be fresh, college girl
faces, dogmatic, untried, and women Of a
calm, regular, religious looking type, who
commonly turn out thrice divorced or en-
bezzlers of funds. If man is curious to
know how much experience of the neither
world he can gain in this, let him marry
one of these Madonna women with smooth
compilations.
1t isn't safe to make friends of any of
these convention going women. They will
turn on friend at an instant's call of self
interest, or work their way into ones secrets
to betray them when the first difference
comes. 1t is the rule of the game. Self
love and ambition in their concentrated,
unvarnished form do not teach good faith or
consideration. Politics is mistake for
women. As soon as they have learned the
game, men will not tamely see their places
taken from them, but will off with the
gloves and turn women out by superior
brute strength.
Whit Women in Business Must Learn.
As money makers women are apt to make
successes if they can only learn the policy
of being honest. Their inventive brains,
their patience, their freedom from drinking
and faro playing habits which upset head
clerks are all in their favor. Let a woman
once get into her mead that business and So
ciety can't be run together, that she must
be ready to work IS hours out of "a in
emergencies and be the cornerstone of her
own fortunes, and she is pretty sure to
make success if she can be honest enough
to forbear taking advantage. When the
door is open and the dog away she must not
consider these providental indications that
she is to steal the doormat. Women will
know what 1 mean.
If the sex would know the good of life let
them throw away ambitions, which corrode,
and political strife, which nets their faces
with cordage of wrinkles and dries up skin
and soul. Let them take for their share |
three things they commonly have not-in- |
sufficient money and cultiva- |
tion. There is nothing sweeter in this |
world than earning money honestly by con-
genial work for comfortable uses Fretted |
nerves, free to select their own quiet, crav-
ing tastes, allayed by some share of natural
beauty, help for age, relief or disease, are
all included in the modest income, which
may be any womaH's who will work with
But where is the place of understanding?
The deep saith it is not in me.
