explosion within that radius would
destroy the submarine itself.

Because women spend so much, they are

are many women who earn good salaries,
and who might lay by few hundred
dollars a year if they were so minded
But that is not the way of women. They
spend every cent they make, and in
most cases have their monthly salary
all spent before it's in their hands. As
long as women won't save, were not
likely to have many women millionaires
in this country.
Sometimes there's a woman who really
wants to increase her fortune, but she
soon realizes that conditions are against
her. A woman hasn't as many chances
for making money as men have. She
isn't around among men, as a rule. and

Many years ago it was the style for wo-

late years only those of the masculine
gender who dislike changes have been
seen with such ornaments pendant from

fashion has been revived among all
classes and both sexes.
There are all sorts of inventions in or
namental shapes for seals, which will
probably be ready for use by fall. There
is nothing individual in the seal itself
nowadays. Sealing wax is too useless,
and scaling a letter takes too much time
for the ordinary busy woman, whether
her work is business or society. 1t was

necessity that people had quaint little
individual notices and designs carved
