worst or vices-advice-but in this case |
dld, and the result is, success. This young
woman rented small house in the neigh
borhood of the big clubs: she got man
friend in each club to permit her to use his
name on her cards, which were business
cards, and nothing else. They stated that
she would rent comfortable rooms at a
reasonable price; that she would serve a
ilght breakfast. if desired, and that q va
let would come every morning TO attend
H rhs gehtIemen who wished his services.
Inc hrst month she lost money, but her
diamonds went into pawn that her rent
Tor the next month might be paid in ad-
vance and at the end of that time she had
maze enough money TO pay for the rent,
though the furniture and valet were still
a loss; However, / used to see her and
cheer her up, and We would have a lovely
cry together. In four months time her
mouse was full Now, she is making money,
the furniture is paid for long ago. and she
says she doesn't believe any lodger will

the hot water doesn't run until II o. clock

not require thorough bath before one
enters it, but there is a comfortable chair

tub that shines so you can see your face

in the bath rooms: After using the
path, gentlemen are requested to ring
the bell so that the room may immediate

Breakfast is served at a cost of so cents

best coffee, boiling hot, not tepid; two
french rolls, pat of fresh butter,
pitcher of boiling, not tepid milk, and all
this is served on dainty napery and in

There are no rules and regulations. If
Mr. Burgundy fancies coming in at 2 in
the morning and not getting up until
the next afternoon, that is entirely his
business, and as my friend refused to re-
ences in her house, she does not fear the
scandals that occasionally arise in houses
where people are not known.
Do l think keeping a boarding house is
easy work? l do not. But think if wo-
men want to make money out of it, they
had better find out what their boarders
would like, and cater to the people who
pay them. The average landlady seems to
regard her boarders as enemies, wretched
people from whom she must try to get the
most and give the least Ny friend, this
is not the way to succeed in business and

show what fine creatures they are by max

cases she has had that have been paid

for she Is a doctor; somehow 1 wonder if
there aren't times when, like all other
women, she is capricious and nervous and
wishes she were dead, and l conclude that
l would rather have a man, stupid though
he may be, to attend me when | am i'll, to
find fault with me If have not taken good
care of myself, and to make me conscious
of the fact that l am going to get well. 1t
may be only ignorance, but l don't like to

Honestly, I would rather the men would
do the dirty work. That sounds very mean,
but it is true. 1 don't like to think of little

son or your neighbours son, coming into a
sick room with businesslke air feeling
your pulse and making a doubtful state

l am glad if her fingers, so cool and soft

They were built that way; and we can
talk about a new woman and new CEN
fury, and everything else new that we
like but it is the old man that we stick
to- That one whose arms are strong
enough to enfold us, when we are happy;
that one who is tender enough to sympa-
thize with US, when we are unhappy, and
that one who is enough man and enough
boy to be rock of refuge in trouble,
and an interesting companion at all other
times. They are always talking about
the new woman, and never about the new
man. Thank goodness for this; For
generations back the same type of man
has satisfied the best of women-the man
who is honest because it is right; the man
who is big, mentally and physically be-

in that love he has a queer little pity for
you, because you are woman; and yet

him; your neighhor loved him; and with
all his faults and all his virtues, and be-
cause he is what he is, he is ardently
loved by Bah.
