A Word to the Business Woman.
Every now and then there comes q
cry from those of the old fashion, COM
planning that in the modern way OF hv-
ing women have lost the place they
once held. and that by going into busi-
ness and competing in the great
handicap" they have forfeited all the
nice consideration which was once
given them. In a measure this may be
true, but it Is not that people look on
workers with any less respect. The
cause Of the decline in courtesy, If
there is really such, lies with the tnd1-
vidual. How men or the world treat
a woman is all in her own hands. As
she thinks of herself, so will the world
think Of her. Her treatment will de-
pend upon her own conduct and her
own reception Of any particular atd-
tude. II she permits lounging friend
ship or a too familiar manner, she will
get that. But even the most thought
less of men will scarcely risk offend
ing a woman unless he is given an op-
portunity. A woman need have no
fear Of being taken for less than she
takes herself. In business she must
conduct herself as carefully, and as
c1rcumspectly as she would in her own
home She must remember always
that she is a woman, and she must
be womanly. The girl who respects
herself will find respect, aid and kind
ness wherever she goes among Ameri-
cans.-Woman's Home Companion.
A Fellows Mother.
"a fellows mother" said Fred the wise,
With his rosy cheeks and merry blue
eyes,
'Knows what to do if a fellow gets hurt
By a thump or bruise, or fall in the
dirt.
"a fellows mother has rags and strings.
Bags aid buttons, and lots of things;
No matter how busy she Is, she'll stop
70 see how we'll you can spin your top.
"She does not care, not much, l mean,
If fellows face Is not quite clean;
And If your trousers are torn at the
knee,
She can put in patch you'd never see.
"a fellows mother is never mad,
And only sorry if you are bad;
And I'll tell you this, if you're only true,
She'll always forgive you, whate'er you
do.
"a fellows mean who would never try
To keep the tear from her loving eye,
And the fellows worse who sees it not
That his mothers the truest friend he's
gotv'
