What Women Are Saying
and Doing

Queer creatures are women--at least
some women! Not long ago one of the
richest women in the world, of course
an American-one, too, who has made
her immense fortune herself by Ler
Dwn shrewdness and strict attention to
business for over thirty years-shot off
set of opinions on the subject of the
feminine sex engaging in commercial
enterprises "a womans place is at
home with her family. She has no
business to go into business. Every wo-
man without exception ought to learn
to COOK said this astonishing feminine
person, whose practice for quarter of
a century had been the direct opposite
of such preaching. 1t looks-it really
does-as if this woman, who has accu-
mulated her own millions, were jealous
of a possible woman rival in the bust
ness world, SO is trying to keep the
rest of her sex out Of the field in
which she has beaten all but a few
even of her men competitors. Then
there is another woman, stunning
figure on the professional stage. Mad
am has also accumulated a noble for
tune, lives in splendor and rides in her
own automobile. Besides that, she has
also enjoyed the inestimable privilege
of supporting husband in luxury for
twenty years. She too, bejeweled and
surrounded with everything that mon
ey can buy-won, mind you, every dol
lar, by her own exertlon-lifts up her
voice in a dismal howl against women
who enter the money earning ranks.
She herself has earned more money
than one man out of a million is able
to do. yet she wrings her hands and
fairly sobs over the shame, the misery
and the pity of woman's going out to
work for money. They are incompe-
tent creatures, to begin, going out to
work for money, says she, and if they
only wouldn't do it men would sup
port them all. If this successful wo-
man knew or cared anything at all
about real industrial conditions she
would know it was only because men
could not support them any longer that
women entered the money earning
field. 1t looks as if the stage lady also
were trying to keep possible sister ri
walls out of her field.
Every woman ought to have a gym
nasium suit to wear at home when
performing work requiring special
strength and activity. 1t would do
away with half the WEAKNESS resulting
from doing heavy work in woman's
ordinary dress The sense of lightness
and ease felt in wearing such cos
tune no woman knows until she has
tried it.
If you have some worthy object of
attainment in view never yield to dis
enlargement concerning the outcome,
no matter how long you have to work
and wait for results. Every good thing
comes by and by.
81 would not for any consideration
hurt anybody's feelings says Mrs.
Fanny Hallock Carpenter, president of
the New York State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
Don't do things you are ashamed Of;
then you can never be caught ut it.
Perfect health of the body consists in
being unconscious Of it.
Here is Il pertinent remark from the
Chicago Legal News: ut seems strange
that women can be lawyers, doctors
and ministers and yet, according to the
laws of many states. do not know
enough to vote"
At last that noble Roman of a WON
an, Moll Pitcher, who shouldered her
slain husbands musket and fought at
the battle of Monmouth, is to have
monument. The heroine of the Revo-
luton is buried at Carlisle, Pa, and,
while her grave is well known, it has
hitherto been unmarked in any way.
Now hoWeyer-fitting monument to
the brave old girl-a large cannon is
to be set up by the citizens of Carlisle
at the head Of her grave. The United
States war department donates the
cannon.

Every woman who can work ought
to Go so. The obligation is on her as a
human being to do something useful.
