A WISE woman has written, 1T
~ is better to do one thing well
~ than to dabble in forty things"
Our time is crowded full of
pleasant things to know and to do. A
woman of lively Imagination and warm
sympathies looks over the field of fem
mime activities and many a time wishes
to do dozen things at once. Let US
say she is girl just out of school. She
has been made to take piano and sing
Ing lessons. She has voice that might
be made a fine one with practice. But
she desires a good time socially, so is
content to remain an Indifferent music

ing up as fad little embroidery and
fancy knitting work. so into that she
goes headlong. After she has learned
even it only half she gets wearied of it
and throws it aside.
Then the girls decide they will form
French literary and conversation
class and improve ,Aeir minds. They
are TO meet twice week for three
months. Ten girls are of the class in
the beginning. At the end of a dozen
lessons one girl is left The others
dropped out, being taken up with skat-
ing parties or dancing or a fad of slum-
ming. The superior destinations OF
Summing and becoming a teacher In
a Chinese Sunday school quite blotted
out the claims Of the French language
and the improvement of the mind.
Our young lady keeps up the slum-
ming and the Chinese Sunday school
for whole six months. Then she sees
a girl who is lust wild" over gymnas-
tics and is developing her chest and her
back muscles at great rate. Miss
Amarilda, our young lady, has her i'm
agination captivated at once by the
fine physical proportions possible for
her to acquire. She goes in furiously
for athletics and the fit lasts only two
months this time.
Miss Amarildas next fad, maybe, is
learning to cook. She takes lessons,
she gets half dozen newfangled egg
heaters and at length makes q cake
and some charlotte russo. The cake is

Objection is not made TO due
publicity on the part of the pro-
moter, even publicity through other

Misrepresentation practiced to mis-
lead the public. If the promoter
must furnish his advertising
literature in newspaper or magazine
form, why cannot he go label 1t that
the investor may he on his guard,
accepting statements made and in
spired or biased utterings, and not
as the sentiments of independent

The promotion organ published to
appear like an independent news

device of designing promoters,
whose only aim Is to mis)ead the
