THE NEW WOMAN.



made with gentle members OF her own
sex, neither of them business women,
however. For the first one she waited |
half an hour, and the visitor did not |
come at all. For the next one she waited |
20 minutes, then went off without her |
friend, who came in half an hour later. |
For the third one she waited / 3 min |

Every woman's time who earns money |
is worth so much minute in business
hours Her time is money, often about
all the money she has The woman who

robs her as much as if she put her hand
in the business woman s pocketbook and
distracted many dollars. The wear and
tear on the nervous system of waiting
for person who is always behind Is
something that cannot be computed by
dollars. 1t is the kind of thing that
turns ones hair gray before its time
Men have gone so far III their exaspera-

row of pins who does not educate this
dawdling, procrastinating habit out of
herself. Mary Clemmer once told me
that the way she accomplished so much
was by giving herself certain time for
doing thing and then making herself
do it. If she wrote a newspaper letter,
she put her watch down before her eyes
at exactly the time she had set to begin
the work and kept straight on putting
down her thoughts till the thing was
done, always OH time. The new woman
is always prompt as clockwork i'll her
tasks as in her recreation. If she prom

at the minute sharp When she makes

can help it-that promise is to her q
sacred oath. Nobody ever has to wait
for her. She has the habit of being OIL
