|OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
THE AMERICAN WAY.

It is asserted, says an exchange, that the Japanese. especially the wo- men, are unusually good-natured. Tney are never "soured." The reason Is that they never let anything worry or fret them. No trouble with the servants; no anxiety or ambition re- garding gowns that will KILT a neighbor with envy.
 We might learn from the Japs. With Americans all is anxiety, fret, nervous ness. Take for an instance the suberb- anite. When he goes to bed he wond- CTS if he will awaken in time to get off to his business in town on the [ o'clock train, and perhaps he dreams
 of being left When he gets up, he hurries with his attire. bolts his break fast, and rushes to the station. The
 train is five minutes late, and ho
 pictures the wrath of his employer when he shall reach the shop. Safely
 inside the coach he happens to dis cover his umhIella. Now I wonder if will rusi ut when we reach the station and leave this?" he frets. By four in the afternoon he feels a desire to spend a long evening with the friends who are visiting at his home but. ten to one, the 6 o'clock flyer will be an hour late" Is his inward comment And so 1t goes, from mat ters of no moment to things of import anoe. It is making life short; 1t is converting us into passimists. which is worse. t7'.
 ACTS AS HOTEL INTRODUCER. New York Sun.
 Many, a bright young woman is spending the summer at seaside and
 mountain resorts and making money there. She is the summer hotel in- troducer. It is no new occupation, but more women than ever are holding such places this season simply because
 there are more places open to them. New hotels are being built all the time, and the men who put their money in them don't leave anything undone to make their places as popular as possi- ble.
 That is where clever, bright wo- man makes herself generally useful If she is an agreeable person-and she must be If she wants to be successful
 there are great possibilities in her place. She watches for new arrivals and tries to make them comfortable.
 Her first duty is to introduce them
 to the other boarders. That is her chief duty. Everyone who goes to a
 summer hotel knows that the first few days after arrival are not very pleas
 ant unless you know some one there.
 A man manages to worry along, but a
 woman is likely to be Lonesome until someone formally introduces her. Once the ice is broken things go along smoothly. When there are no
 newcomers to make comfortable. the girl introducer can find plenty to do.
 She can suggest games to pass away
 the time, on the piazza, and she can get up trips to interesting points. She acts as a sort of guide to the hotel. If she can play the piano or sing she makes herself more valuable.
 F, Such a young woman greatly in- creases the popularity of summer hotel. and has her own vacation for nothing. When the season ends she comes back to town, and may possibly have a little bank account to show for her summer occupation.
 One bright girl who is doing this work in a Catskill hotel, gets s20 a week for it. The work is pleasant and she has just as much fun as the persons who are paying dearly for 1t. She has the same food as they, and has a pleasant room besides. She is l making money by being agreeable.
