It is charged against women that IN
business they are less patient and
Dolite than men. Perhaps they are
often more nervous, more irritable and
possess less seff-control. This being
the case it is all the more necessary
for them to set about the work OF I'M
provement IN this direction. No pro-
prietors can afford to treat either Gus
toner or employee impoHtely. The
humblest person we encounter IS
entitled to kindness at our hands. His
influence may be weak but it goes to
make up that curious force we call
public opinion, and can help or hurt
us to an extent we do not dream. Be-
sides, the humblest of today may be
the highest tomorrow.
She who, on beginning life on her
own responsibility, determines to save
something with which to operate as
capital, and does so, lays the founda-
ton for a successful business career.
Both the money she saves and the
character she builds by self-denial,
make her success. This kind of saw
ing is really using, and is not to be
COMPOUNDED with mere boarding for
the sake of boarding. Pleasure-loving
people seldom exercise self-denial
They are the victims Of their wants,
little and big. One want creates an
other. and life becomes a continued
ministration to their foolish desires.
The habit of self-indulgence sticks to
him after he is grown, and his destiny
is sacrificed to his pleasure-lovins and
ease-loving instincts. Self-denial is
ballast to a character. She who can
not deny herself every gewgaw or Htile
pleasure that looks alluring. will never
get very far on the road to financial
ease.-Women of the Business World.
