The year 1905 has seen the public

American women. 1t is the National
Business Womans league, an out

union of women in business held is

organization in New York city a few

league is Miss Louise Lee Hardin of

THINK WELL OF YOURSELF
New York


Most of us. have some friend among
our acquaintance who. as the children
have it, thinks too much of herself" A
beautiful knowledge that she is right in
everything is her leading characteristic,
and because of this self confidence she
is anything but a nice. girl to know.
Yet, as a general rule. perhaps there
are far too many girls who err the other
way. That humility which we are at
times implored to cultivate has with
them become too much of a habit
The girl who lacks self confidence
may have very pleasing conversational
gifts, which others never have an op-
portunity to enjoy, because she dare not
make use of her power. Many girl,
TO, is afraid to take the initiative in any
question though her judgment is right.
How many of US have friends who
spend their lives in some inferior posi-
ton because they think so little of
themselves, and they dare not aspire to
a higher post, while one is continually
meeting the girl who makes terrible
mistakes simply because she is afraid
to follow the teaching of her own mind ?
OF course it is difficult to hit that
happy dividing line which separates
every virtue from its corresponding
vice. At the same time in a good many
families, the sitting on" process which
is requisitioned in order to destroy con-
ceit too often destroys also the self
confidence which does so much toward
success in the world.

kind in the world. sixty-five of the
women's clubs of Massachusetts have
forestry committees
In many states clubwonen, particu-
larly those belonging to the outdoor art
league, have engaged in planting trees
and otherwise identifying the land
scape in their home neighborhoods.
Even the clubwomen. of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory have forestry COM
mittees. working with all the vigor and
enthusiasm of the free woman of the
west. Mrs. Angelo c. Scott, president
of the Oklahoma federation, speaking
of its work in general, said at the last
meeting. The greatest single thing ac-
complshed during the past year is the
passage by the legislature of the fed
Grafton bill providing for the care and
education of child criminals and carry
ing an annual appropriation of $4,000"
The most remarkable organization of
wOmens clubs in the Union, however.
is that of Indian Territory. Mrs. Mich
ael Conlan of Atoka, an Indian woman
of Choctaw and Chickasaw blood, is
president of the Indian Territory fed
Grafton. She organized it herself prim-
arily for the purpose of giving women
of Indian blood the advantages of club
life. There are now women's clubs in
every town in the territory.

and thus it will not be necessary to
send these sciOns of wealth to public
gymnasiums. Mrs. J. Borden Hartman
is president of the Colony club.
A number of New York ladies have
organized a girls athletic league in the
public schools of that city. Clubwo-
men of Texas recently sent Mrs Moore
Murdoch to Europe to arrange for the
importation of girls for domestic work.
Finally Mrs. Jared Kirkland of East
Orange, seventy years old, recently
joined her first club.

Some men and many women never

You hear a woman bewailing the in
justice of life. She is hard and bitter
because she has been a failure. She
has had no luck

worst luck" she walls. 'I seem to
strike the very people who are hardest
and the most unsympathetic. Then
sometimes, just as [ stand chance of
getting the. situation I want, along
comes a girl with pretty face or an
attractive personality and my chances
disappear"
"Of course" remarks some one who
is listening, personality means a great
deal in the business world nowadays"
That's just it," sneers the unIucky
one. 1T isn't just a question of ability
its personality"
But I wonder if she realizes Just what
personality means? 1t is not an imagi-
nary quality. Personality is the out
ward sign of a well balanced mind and
an attractive, bright, cheerful char
acter. If the unlucky woman fails be-
cause of her personality the fault is
hers. She should cultivate different
views of life. a different spirit, and
then she would find that people were
no longer cold and unsympathetic but
very much attracted by her bright
manner and pleasant ways.
