In midwinter never prevailed to such an
extent as It does this year, nor has mltll-

an earlier date.

WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE wEs7
Their Inherited Energy and business

Their Inherited Energy and business
Ability.
The woman of the west is the spirit OF
energy, says Harper's Bazaar 1t is an inher-
itance from her immediate ancestors, who
worked increasingly as founders OF states
She has not yet been seized with the weary
safety of GENERALIZATION and feels a JOY
in labor and its fruits She prefers activity
and if life offers her leisure she adopts
child or a career and works for her SELF
sought object.
The double task of making a home and
developing the country has been through
her so thoroughly accomplished that, with
all our vast territory, we have scarcely
district that might be truly spoken OF as
the frontier. This achievement liberates for
other uses the energy OF woman, ana, true
to the spirit of the times, she casts about
her for a career other than a domestic one.
Even in the small towns of newly settled
districts the daughters of the family do not
settle down to an interminable round OF
spiritless housework. but instead start out
with their brothers to their days work as
stenographer, typesetter, clerk or teacher.
None are idle or fill the position of lady of
leisure for such would be companionless.
The women with genuine business ability
test it in a little boat near shore, and meet
ing success, go further to venture more Ihe
woman with a talent or voice migrates TO
a city favorable for its cultivation, and the
old profession of teaching has Its countless
aspirants, all eager to learn new methods.
Besides all these are the young women
who could lead life OF uneventful comfort
at home in larger places. but who prefer the
hazards of sef-support in the world to mo
notony in a smaller sphere; so there comes
a day when these, too, Join the army throng-
ing to the large cities.
The education OF books and colleges is OF
primary importance in their mind just now,
but by and by they will realize that the
world bestows moreIof it's wealth land that
means power on those who possess knowl-
edge of men and, an ability to recognize op-
portunity when 1t is met and to seize 1t be-
foro it has fled lri.,
Another lesson the girl OF the plains must
learn is that manner and address enhance
what other claims to success she may pos
sess. and are not torbe despised as evidence
of decadence or fefieteness. All honesty Is
not rude and polished manner enables one
to meet any man on advantageous ground,
while faulty manner is acceptable only TO
those whose ways are equally defective.
The effect OF Refinement and civilization by
making all conform TO given standards is
to reduce all to the same mould. The woman
| of the west need not fear that her rugged In
| dividuality will be thus obliterated, for she
| lives too near to natures heart The free

native land, have been infused into her

woman whose labor Is the result OF thought,
whose opinions are the result OF honest con-
yictlon and whose love of self is lost in
| love of mankind and of country.

done by trained miliners who devote their

made by a wel-known rubber company, and
are as up-to date in cut and finish as those
made for the ordinary human being. There
is no factory for dolls shoes and gloves in

factories of Germany, France and England.
But their furniture, dishes and stoves. with
cooking utensils, are made by factories in
the United States, and are much better
finished than those formerly imported.
