dark blue duel

i In writing of the boosted progress
of the last century. "An American
mother" asks in the Ladies' Home
Journal for June, what has the 10th
century done to the woman herself?
Are her school training, her colleges
and her work in art and literature
making her a more womanly woman,
more fit to be wife and mother? If
not, they are losses to her, not gains.
The chief change which the last CEN
tury made in the American woman
was that it tempted her to give up for
the new occupations Of art, reform and
money making, her own real work as
9 homemaker, wife ard mother. The
18th Century has dragged our women women
from their natural base. tt has given
them noble surroundings for their
lives; literature, art, social power.
But they are not content They are
nervous and restless beyond any form
er race Of women. The food given
them IS too light. They look out on
the world with starved eyes. The
wiser. among them are finding ous:
that what they want Is not show and
public work and applause, btl>% a sim
pie life, repose and the homely >affec-
tons Of home" :.

CASH OR ACCOUNTS.

The question Of cash or accounts Is
one that's debatable in the mind Of the
modern woman, particularly the city
woman. Distances in large city are.
so3inexorablee that the conveniences or
mail or telephone shopping is very
tempting. Il Is possible nowaday s, in
deed, to take advantage of bargain
counter attractions at long range.
Many women, knowing their shops
well, will unhesitatingly telephone for
a marked down article on opening the
morning paper to find it advertised,
some shoppers holding an account at
different stores for no other purpose.
Sometimes, indeed, these purchases
can be sent G. O.. d., but often they
cannot. 4. sS
In the matter Of exchanges, too, the
charge customer has an advantage in
the ease and celebrity with which she.
can manage these transactions.
Against, however, this saving of time
and strength and of opportunity must
be set the objection, obviously impor-
tant, Of temptation to extravaganza,
says Harper's Bazaar. When an article
is to be charged it seems much easier
to make the purchase. One of the
phrases common among women hest
tating at this point: It will only need
"a little larger check, and a few dollars
one way or the other will make no diff
ference" and it rarely fails to tip the
scale in favor of the purchase, yet it
is just here that the dangerFof an ac-
count lies in the Adjustment of mod
crate means, and the woman who finds
herself slipping along this, easy, dan
gerous road can find safety only in
stern repression, or to permit the ac-
count to lapse. An every day balanc-
ing Of accounts is a wonderful safe.
