Since she needed not to labor for herself she decided that she would work Tor Mo- men in real philanthropic fashion by showing them how to work for them selves. At the same time she would get and keep a place in the living swim or things. Her forte was along the line Of business, and she knew it. She resolved 10 engage actively in commercial enter prises and prove true by example her fixed belief that women are really most capable economists and financiers, need ing only that their native talent De ueVel- oped by practise.
 To tell the whole story. reference must be made to Colonel Henry Blount, the uncommonly wise husba ad fate had giv- en the lady. Early in their married life he had insisted that she should open a bank account of her own and look after 1t herself. So soon. too, as their eldest daughter was of suitable age he had giv- en her a piece of property whereof she was to attend to the renting and repairs entirely herself. He determined she should have some practical knowledge and common sense. Mrs. Blount's story of her own initiation into the life of af- fairs is interesting, likewise amusing. She tells me:
 'I inherited a head for business from my father, but in my youth girls were not expected to know anything more about business principles than could be gained from the limited vacations open to women-teaching, sewing and house. work. I was a successful teacher and earned enough to clothe myself comfort ably, but never had a bank account till after was married. My husband who 1e today miles ahead of most men in his ideas of what women ought to know, told me ought to have bank account and learn all about the modern operations of drawing checks, making out deposit tickets, etc. Little as one would believe tt to see me now, I was exceedingly fimid and tried to beg off didn't want to go down among those men. felt l nidn't belong there.
