For Business Women.

The following little list was COM
piled some years ago, says the Buff
falo Evening News, by a young girl
Just starting on business career. 1t

she says, and so she gladly passes 1t

Be honest.
Don't worry.
Be courteous to all.
Keep your own counsel.
Don't complain about trifies.
Be loyal to your employer.
Don't ask for vacations.

Be prompt-a little ahead of time
II possible.
Be neat and attractive, but unob-

and every day, so that when there is
a chance for promotion you will not
only be "called, but chosen"

Fashion Notes.

A little silk elastic hidden in the
shoulder strap helps 1t to stay in its
appointed place.
A new material, much more durable
and just as pretty as mousseline de
sole, Is called voile de sole.
A new idea is the slashing of the
shoulder seam to insert bit Of bright
color, which is laced across with cords
and buttons.
One gown of olive green cloth Is
embroidered with great clusters Of
purple grapes-truly nightmare com.
bination for most compilations.
An ecrue batiste. heavily hand-em.
broidered with big red and brown pop
pies, is edged with a ruche OF red chif-
fon peeping from beneath the skirt.
There is craze for gowns where
the waist is tiny bolero. pelerine, or
sailor collar of the skirt material over
a blouse of thin material or lace.
Butchers linen or some heavy crash.
like material embroidered in silk In
brilliant Bulgarian or Slavonic colors
is one of the greatest favorites in
neckwear.
The cotton and silk mixtures con
tinue to come in. Among them fiecked
tissue de sole, silk gauzes, satin lisse
and pointille cotton are familiar in
name, but are much more beautiful
this year than before.
The kimono increases in favor, but
there are some changes in both the
long and short styles. They are
charming In silk OF all sorts, as well as
In plain and figured woolens of soft
quality. with delicately fiowersd rib
bons.

The Woman Who Works.

II n young woman is compelled to
earn her own living, there are many
avenues open to her. There is the
commercial world of typewriting,
bookkeeping, stenography, etc. There
are the fields of literature and art, and
by art | include embroidery and de
signing, and there are the professions.
First OF ALL a woman should decide
to which Of these various walks
Of life she is best adapted
Then, with resolute purpose,
she should push into her chos
en- line of work, determined to let
nothing stand in the way of her sue
cess. If she is not compelled to earn
her own living, but is simply entering
the business world in order to procure
little extra pocket money or become
independent. in many cases it is far
better for her to remain at home and
perfect herself in household duties
learn to make her own clothes. trim
her own hats, make dainty collars for
herself and do many other of the nice
little domestic tasks that fall to the
lot OF women. II she has calling in
any line. however-though she may
not be compelled to earn her own
living-I say, by all means, let
her cultivate her particular tai.
ent. In fact, she will do so
anyway. Poverty. discouragements-
nothing will keep her from it. What is
in her is bound to manifest itself.
though it may require the patience OF
Job in attaining results.-Chicago
Tribune.

Woman and Culture.

Language and literature are the
bases OF culture. No one will deny
that The world judges our social
standing by the way in which we
speak, the way in which we write let
teis, quite as much as by our clothes.
II we can talk like an educated per-
son, we are at once supposed to be
such. | know q bright English woman
who has read widely and thoughtfully,
and has studied good English consist
emily for six or seven years. Now,
though she had but the merest COM
mon school education and few years
ago her husband lived in mortal fear
that she would make some egregious
blunder that would disgrace his pro-
fessional reputation, she is almost in
variably taken by those who know her
but little for Girton graduate-and
Girton has a higher standing as col
lege in England than Vassar or Smith
or Wellesley In this country. The
mere home study of language and lit
erature, in conjunction with house
hold duties and the care of children,
has wrought this marvellous transfor-
nation.
The future Of American culture de-
pends on the women. They alone have
the leisure for 1t. Almost every wom-
an has, or can have. few hours day
for reading and study, or for cultivat-
ing the art Of conversation, or letter
writing, or story-writing. II she would
do the simple and natural and easy

The Hostess.

Tact and talent are required to be
a good entertainer. The qualities es-
sential to make an admirable hostess
are various, and it would be difficult
to say which is the most essential
one Here are some hints which an
authority gives:
One indisputable quality is to ap-
pear-and. II possible, really to feel
interested in the things that visitors
discuss. However entertaining you
may be, you should not lose sight of
the fact that others may also want to
air their talents in the conversational
line, and you should give them a
chance.
There is nothing more exasperating
10 a guest than to listen in an alb
stracted, slightly impatient manner,
and begin at once your own story be-
fore the words are fairly out of your
visitors mouth.
Listen attentively, interestedly, and
10 not show that you are waiting for
one to finish.
Another phase of impoliteness is to
anticipate the point of an anecdote or
to announce that you have "heard 1t
before In a different way" Such
breaches are really unkindness, and
would never be committed II you cul-
tivated the faculty Of putting yourself
in the others place.
And finally. while assuming an inter
est in others, do not assume that 9TH
ers are interested in all that appeals
to you.

State Supplied Cats.

Some 800 and odd cats, says an
American paper, are maintained by the
United States government. These cats
are distributed among about fifty post
offices and their duty is to keep rats
and mice from eating and destroying
postal matter and canvas sacks. Theiy
work Is OF the utmost Importance in
the New York postoffice, where from
1000 to 1900 bags Of mail matter are
commonly stored away in the base
ment. Formerly great damage was
done by the mlschieveous rodents
who gnawed holes in the sacks and
thought nothing of boring clean
through bags OF letters in night.
