GIRLS RELATION TO WORLD.
May Become Business Woman, but Not
Business Man.

The girl of today may become A busi
ness woman, but she can never become n
business man. The kind of n business
woman she IS going to be is the thing
tie this question before the push of en-
ylronments thrusts them into the unde-
sirable place of negation.
Genuine powder vaunteth not itself, IS
not easily puffed up, does net behave it
self unseemly, and it is unnecessary for
the woman who has entered the business
world to proclaim the fact. 1t speaks for
itself.
The general manager of a wholesale
house said the other day: THE whole
question of woman in business depends
upon herself. She is capable, we must
have her help, but we need and want
the same kind of woman that would
grace our nome Such women do not
antagonize the business man. Indeed
he gives her broad road, for most of
us realize the fact that in certain sense
she is the salvation of the business
world"
The old-time saying that woman must
be good for everything at home and moth
ing abroad has outlived it's usefulness
In this age 1t is more correct to say that
the woman who is good for anything at
home is good for everything abroad.
Woman has it within her to create a
business world for herself, but it must
be done by womanly means She cannot
Illustrate the laws of the university and
usurp mans world, and she would not
know what TO do with it if she could.
The business woman should possess
manly qualities with womanly virtues
and graces. She needs the manly qualj-
ties that enables him to stay with his
work during working hours, but while
she is stealing these suggestions. she
must shun anything that robs her Of

and power fail The world weeps to see
a woman lose her wOmanlness Yet
many of the girls who come downtown
either never possessed or else lose the
tone that distinguishes the gentlewoman.
They use slang, and many a pretty faced
girl is heard to swear. She swings down
the street uncaringly, she stands on the
corner ungracefully, and men criticise
her; more than that, men who are not
men in all the word means criticise her
Amazingly different have been the
marks i'll literary pictures that the status
of woman in different conditions of social
life has left. Simonides of Amorgos, in
famous poem, contrasted different
types of female character by comparing
them with hog and a fox, dog and
an ass, n weasel, an ape and Il bee, and
some author has said: IF we were to
search through the various likenesses Of
female character in literatures of the
east and west we might not only increa Sc
at will this uncOmplimentary catalogue,
but discover how profoundly female lib
erty, tutelage, public freedom or private
secusion have affected the general ami
particular characters of women of diff.
ferent ages" 1t is possible for the
American woman of this period of social
conditions to leave picture that bears
the marks of beauty and progress.
Much as the stage calcium lights de-
pend for their effects upon the skill of
the one who throws them, so the effects
the business woman gets depends upon
her skill, and when she has learned the
secret of obtaining the maximum results
with minimum effort, she has found out
what makes the business mans success.
If she makes that ability her own and
adds to it the beauty of woman's charm
she is master of the situation.-Wash-
