Woman's Lack of Time.

| Woman's Lack of Time.
Men seldom complain of lack of time,
| out of business hours but the business
woman complains of it habitually
| Whether at home or absent from it they
are ever occupied.
| Women always have Il hundred things
! to do; they are never able to finish before
! going to bed what they have planned
| during the morning. Men frequently
| speak of this fact and are without ca
| pacity to understand it.
| True, women have far more to do
! than men, true, their work can never be
| finished. But is ii true that they have
| no time? And if it is is not the fault
measurably theirs?
As has often been said, they have all
! tie time there is. If the days We're
fortyeight hours. would they have any
| moref Not a particle.
| People who uniformly believe and say
| they have no time are predestined never
| to have any.
| Why is it that women have no time
| Chiefly because they are without syS-
| tenn; because they do not take advan-
! tage Of odd minutes; because they are
| always trying 10 be polite.
The fact that men act very differently
| time to do what they wish.
While w0men's time is subject 10
| ceaseless Interruptions still might not
| they adopt something like system in their
working and leisure hours!
| Women generally know when they get
! up in the morning what their occupation
| VIII be until the hour Of going to bed
Certain parts of the day should be de-
voted to certain duties which should be
rlgidly performed during that time, not
live minutes afterwards on five minutes,
before In theory women often do. in
practice they do not Women obey m-
pulses and cpnvenienceS Of the moment
They permit themselves TO be turned
| aside from the thing in hand to some
thing else: and each interruption in
| wolves twice the loss of time that the
mere interruption costs
As the result W0mcn'S duties become
confused, their interests tangled. and
when the day has closed they find va
riouS things neglected which they had
fully intended to perform,
The next day they think they will not
tail to do the things they have planned
to perform but the same circumstances
intervene, with the same results. And
so it goes from week to week from
month to month, until the poor woman
continually struggles, continually re-
solves and continually failing. gets very
nervous and deSpairs of ever accom-
pliShing what she has Undertaken. The
consciousness of continually falling he
hind ultimately affects their spirits and
weakens their determination.
If women would attempt half as much
as they do, and complete that half. the
effect would be more salutary. Nothing
is more dishearteniug than the memory
of not doing wuar we have purposed
4 series of such memories will i'm time
weaken the will and thus impair ca
pacity.

the home women, a woman decides &c
