What Women Are Saying
and Doing

richest women in the world, of course
an American-one. too. who has made
her immense fortune herself by Ler
own shrewdness and strict attention to
business for over thirty years-shot off
a set of opinions on the subject of the
feminine sex engaging in commercial
enterprises. "A woman's 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
century had been the direct opposite
of such preaching. 1t looks--it really
does-as if this woman. who has accu-
INFLATED her own millions. were jealous
of possible woman rival in the BUSH
ness world, SO is trying to keep the
rest of her sex out of the field in
which she has beaten all but few
even Of her men competitors. Then
+ there is another woman, Il 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 dismal howl against women
who enter the money earning ranks.
In, J. al hac,
than one man out Of a million is able
to do. vet 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 crea lures, 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 woinans
ordinary dress. The sense of lightness
and ease felt in wearing such a cos
tune no woman knows until she has
tried it. s. 4
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.
Il would not for any consideration
hurt anybody's feelings" says Mrs.
Fanny Hallock Carpenter, president Of
the New York State Federation of Wo-

Here Is q pertinent remark from the
Chicago Legal News: 1T seems strange
that women can be lawyers, doctors
and ministers and yet. according to the

At last that noble Roman Of wom-
an, Moll Pitcher, who shouldered her
slain husbands musket and fought at
the battle Of Monmouth, is to have q
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. however 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 do so. The obligation is on her as
human being to do something useful.
A girl lately wrote long letter to
an editor complaining that she was
not happy. Who is?
Living, loving, learning that is how
to 30 through life, helping as we 60
others all along the way.

Is it not about time for women to
blow up for good and all thai old hypo-
critical pretense OF so many that they
don't have to work for living, but
just do it SO as to have something
wherewith to put in the time? Where
this is really the case people don't say
anything about it. When hear wo-
