BUSINESS WOMAN.

devoted most of her time to that. Feel
she leased the Monthly for a term Of
years and devoted her time to travel
and miscellaneous literary work. She
wrote several books of essays and had
almost completed novel when her
financial affairs underwent disas-
trous change.
A large hotel in which she had an
interest was unsuccessful and cost her
$50. 900; some real estate transactions
failed to the amount of $4,000 or SlO.-
900. and the Arkell Publishing Com
pany, in which she still had an in
terest, made an assignment, and she
lost a large sum, although the company
expects in time to be able to meet its
obligations, since its publications are
now under new management and on
more prosperous basis. At the same
time the Monthly found it would be
advantageous to make changes in its
management and offered Mrs. Leslie
the presidency of a joint stock COM
pany and an editorial chair. This she
accepted and is again in control of that
publication.
The off ces used by Mrs. Leslie are
beautifully fitted up. One of her fads
is love of pink, and pink curtains
shade the windows. while a tinted
screen stands behind her chair. The
walls are soft, dull green and silver,

before long he had induced his fair as
sistant to become his partner for life.
He was 80 years her senior, but the
match was a happy one. She was able
to be of great help to him in the man
agement of his business, but in spite OF
their efforts when he died in 1880, Mr..
Leslie left his wife, by will, the obliga-
ton of taking up work and paying off
debt of 100000 owing to the panic
of 1877, which hampered so many large
firms.
When Mr.. Leslie died. Mrs. Leslie
adopted by legislative act the name of
Frank Leslie and assumed courageous
ly the burden laid upon her. She was
so scrupulously honest in regard to the
debt that until it was paid she lived in
one corner of the Office, cooked her own
meals and walked to save car fare. She
wore one gown until it was threadbare
and. finding it wise, cut off several of
the IS of the publications of the house
and concentrated her energies to the
remainder. She soon placed the maya
zine On a paying basis, met every fin
ancial obligation and won for herself
the reputation of being one Of the best
business managers in the country.
Having made the Leslie publications
valuable properties, she sold Leslie's
Illustrated News to the Arkell Publish
ing company, who changed its name to
Leslie's Weekly. She moved Leslie's

a lady's boudoir than a business Office.
Mrs. Leslie's private apartments are
now at Sherry's, where she still is on
| Thursday evenings, as in her days of
leisure, the center of a brilliant COM
pany.
To and from the Office each day Mrs
Leslie carries Chignito, her little York
shire terrier, which weighs only 1k
pounds and is valued at 5000 per
pound. Chignito, when not engaged
in eating or sleeping or barking, is
playing with rag doll especially pro-
vided to entertain him. Mrs. Leslie is
very fond of dogs. Toilette, the play
mate of her childhood, long since

The return to the business WOrlu OF
that clever and energetic woman, Mrs.
Frank Leslie, reawakens interest IN a
UNIQUE parsonage. Mrs. Leslie was born
in New Orleans. Her maiden name was
Miriam Florence F'ouine. Her parents
we're well to do French creoles, who
gave her all the advantages of educa-
ton then open to bright girl.
Shortly after the civil war Miss Fol-
line went to New York. Like most
southern families, hers had lost heav-
lily, owing to the war. She was engaged
in literary work when she met Mr..
Leslie. Frank Leslie was his pen
name assumed over some sketches
which he had contributed to a London
magazine years before. When he
came to America from his native Eng
land. he exchanged his own name of
Henry Carter for that of Frank Leslie.
Miss Folline was one of the cOntribut-
ors to the Leslie publications. One
dav one of the editors of Leslie's
Ladies' Magazine was taken i'll and was
in such straitened circumstances that
out of kindness Miss Folline, who
heard of it, offered to do her work and
give the sick women her salary. The
sick editor died, but so well had the
substitute done her work that she was
offered the position.
The great publishers attention was
at first attracted by the ability with
which the new editor conducted her
department. Her beauty and charm OF

As we pass along through life we
must learn to adapt ourselves to the
changes which are always occurring in
the world.
The matter will not adapt itself to
us, no matter how important we may
feel ourselves to be, and if we remain
stationary in our ideas we will be-
come useless fossils.
Religious forms, social conventions,
political and domestic matters are al
ways undergoing changes.
Principles are endearing, but habits
and manners are as variable as the
fashions in dress, and the people who
insist on one unvarying form Of wor-
ship or one unalterable method Of re-
creation, and decry all others as wick
ed or indecent, are making themselves
as ridiculous as those who keep to the

ELLA WHEELER.
Mrs. Wilcox Gives Advice Applicable To
All.

have received letter from q youns
| woman, stranger, containing the fol.
lowing peculiar sentences:
I am about to enter upon a future
which will be broad, varied and intense
l cannot forsee all its possibilities, but
there are certain possible conditions
under which l am not certain of my
self. | want to always keep in the at
! mosphere OF goodness. believe In the
mighty force OF thought Will you
sometimes think of me and pray that
my love may always be as pure and
holy as it is deep and strong"
Evidently this young woman is to be
tn. own in close association with some
man who has already won her heart!
A man who is in all probability mar
ried or betrothed, or in a position
which precludes any thought of mar
riage from entering into his calcula-
tons.
She is strongly attracted by the
mans personality and has some reason
to fear that he may influence her for
evil. AT least this is the only deduc-
ton to be drawn from her letter.
There are scores of young women all
over the world, and especially in Amer
=, who are similarly situated. All
} not so clearly realize their danger,
or SO carefully prepare to battle
against it as my correspondent does
and Is doing.
Half the fault lies in knowing the
surrounding dangers, and in fortifying
against attack.
There are young women studying
music. painting or singing, under the
tltelage or fascinating teacher; there
are girl stenographers in the employ O
attractive bankers, brokers or railway
magnates; there are the hundreds o.
young girls working in the stores o.
our large cities, where the power o.
concerted thought Is not force fol-
good, but for evil; and there is al
ways the ambitious ge-struck cir
and the sometimes Don Juan mana,

of the idea that her situation is a I'M
ique one, or her temptations exception.
al.
Let her realize that she is one of 6
vast army, and it will be the easier tc
resist.
When a woman imagines that Goo
has taken pains to present her with 9
special temptation Of unique design
she feels 1t q sort of discourtesy to de-
cl.ne It; once let her find the pattern
IN universal use, and she scorns it.
% course temptation must come from
within to be dangerous My cores
pendent loves the man she is thrown
with, and therefore feels herself in
danger. 1t is not her fault or the
mans that she loves him. We are not
always responsible for our emotions;
we are for our actions.
There is no shame in a woman
loving a man.
A great love demands that we should
grow better, not baser; that our ideals
should be higher, not lower.
Live up to your love, my dear young
woman; do not drag 1t down into the
dust. Hide the feeling in your heart
If you must-like crushed rose, IL will
sweeten your life, but do not allow ii
to make you hide your actions from the
world, as only the thorne will be left
of it to pierce you.
