How a Woman May Acquire Hlethodical
Business Habits.
Whether a woman is poor or rich, it
behooves her to acquire methodical
business habits. keeping her little ac-
counts accurately, and knowing to a
cent Just what she does with her
money. An allowance is the first step
toward this end, if at the same time it
is impressed upon her that every sum
spent should be set down with unfail-
ing regularity.
In black and white one notes how
much more easily the money can be
spent, how quickly it goes, and just
what foolish little nothings have lured
it from Our pockets. Without setting
down each item, it is ten chances to
one that you will conclude you have
lost some money, when you cannot
see how that ten-dollar bill went.
when you only bought such very few
things.
The neat little figures are genuine
restraint, besides installing a habit
and system that will be of great value
if fortune smiles, and a great estate
comes to your hands, and still greater
if economy is necessity and the dol
lar has to be forced into doing duty
for two.
Unless the accounts are kept accu-
rately and cash made to balance every
evening, you had better not attempt
any bookkeeping at all, for slipshod
methods are worse than none, andsonlJ
confuse everything rather than help

If anything is worth doing at all, il
is worth doing well, and there is moth

habit of looking carefully out for the

trials, and the allowance of fifty cents
