Foresight Is a Characteristic of All
the Wilson's.
Before her marriage Mrs. Michael
Herbert, wife of the British ambassa-
dor at Washington (then Miss Will
son). was greatly impressed by the
ease and cleverness with which Eng
lish women In high society discussed
politics in the drawing room. 1t was
something quite out of the educational
curriculum through which the Wilson
girls had passed in Paris. whittier their
mother took them when they were
girls. About this time current ques-
ton" clubs were finding favor in this
country. Many clever women earned
a livelihood coaching society women
OIL the question of the day in politics
and international affairs To one of
these coaches of a
race Of German professors-Miss Will
son went for private instruction in
English home and colonial political
topics. "I- was mystified. said the
coach when Miss Wilson, refusing
to join my class. insisted upon private
struction on specified subject.
Scarcely had we finished the course

monty bright-when her engagement
to Michael Herbert was announced. 1t

Operations Public.
The government of Mexico exer-
cises . somewhat paternal control
over the doings Of it's merchants. Each
town keeps register of all mercan-
tile houses in its confines. giving full
particulars of the firm or corporation
property, how held, etc.
Each merchant is obliged by law
to keep at least three books. namely.
a book Of inventories, day box and
ledger, writes the Dallas News. No
erasures are permitted. The books
must be balanced annually and show
all obligations. They must show ex-
actly what money the merchant
draws out for his private use. A pen
atty Of not less than $50 nor more
ttan $500 Is imposed for failure to
keep books in the manner prescribed.
Merchants are also required to
publish, through the press. the class
of business: with its essential circum-
stances. ETC.: to record in the public
registry all documents which the pub
lie is interested in; to keep strict and
accurate accounts, and to preserve
correspondence for ten years which
affects their business.
Persons who have been condemned
for offenses against property, includ-
ing forgery. embezzling and conspir-
acy. cannot engage in commerce.
Business failures are rare, not ex-
ceeding ten yearly in the last several
