Woman in business.

More women than ever before are
engaged in business affairs and more
than ever before succeeding in the
industrial world. Why? Is woman's
domesticity fiction? Does she pre-
fer a business life to caring for a
home? Is she especially well fitted
to take a high place in business en-
terprise, and just finding it out? Or
is the wage-earning woman the nee
essary outgrowth of existing condi-
tons?
Thousands of young girls are every
year put to work in factories and
stores or sent to learn to become self
supporting, for the simple reason that
self-support has become necessary
element in woman's life
But, if questioned, how many of
them will say that they have begun
their life work? How many young
teachers look forward to forty or fifty
years of taking care of other peoples
children? How many factory girls or
clerks or stenographers or chorus
girls SO love their work that they
spurn all thought of marriage?
The wonans nature subconsciously
yearns for home, with husband and
children to love and care for This
fact is so we'll recognized that young
women are commonly denied response
BILE positions which they could perfect
ly well fill. because they cannot be de-
pended on to keep them. If they marry
they leave their employer; whereas
young men Will redouble their efforts
to be useful if they marry.
The great majority of women in bust
ness are there because they have been
| forced into it. With the exception of
a few women devoted to artistic pur-
suits, the self-supporting woman is the
result of conditions over which she has
no control. And the number, of them in
any community is in direct ratio to the
| number of bachelors, to dead or ire
| sponSible husbands and to heads of
families unable adequately to sustain
| the burden.
NO amount OF philosophiZing can
drive the woman out Of business. Nc
doleful prophecies of deplorable results
can do it. She is there, not by nat.
ural inclination, but because of both
pressure behind her and demand before
her. Only a revolutionary change in
existing conditions can efface the wage

Fifteen hundred women and girls are
employed in the Westinghouse plant at
Pittsburg, Pa, most of them doing work
that few years ago would have been
assigned only to men and boys. The
majority of them are employed in wind

Cotton Versus Linen.

Most housewives imagine that linen
is the ideal material for sheets. but
several household authorities consider
it is inferior to a good quality of cot
ton for this purpose. Linen is cold
and slippery 1t is NO more appro-
pirate for sheets than it is for body
wear, owing to its non-absorbent quail
ty. The wrinkles in linen sheets are
harder to smooth out than those in
cotton, and, in addition. keep a bed
from looking fresh. Linen, however.
is at its best when used for table
cloths and napery For all such pur-
poses it is the ideal material.

When clean squeeze in the hand, in

tives, District Attorney jerome of New

against the despoilers of life insurance
companies in the form of a presentment
by the grand jury, before which he had
made a detailed statement of the evidence.

ance officials in connection with the pay

Chapter on Economy.

Women often forget that the test of
well-spent money depends ON the value
obtained in exchange. They scrimp
and pinch, and suffer and save, and per
haps take to themselves much credit
for doing so. To eat a poor dinner in
order to go finely clad is a very foolish
thing. But it is also foolish not to
look quite as prosperous as cfrcum-
stances will let you. To be healthy.
too, you must be housed dryly and have
plentiful supply of fresh air. for
without this and good regular meals
one cannot keep up the working pow
ers and disease at bay. Where. then.
is economy to step in? Mostly in wis
dom of choice, absence of waste, and
strict supervision over sundries. Your
good house may be in an unpretentious
or even in somewhat inconuenient
district. Your clothes must ALWAYS he

poor investment, and this can never be
afforded when one has to economic.
Skill with the needle, good materials
fashions that are not of the passing
moment, changing best garments for
palmer attire at home, and care in
putting away ones wardrobe. are all
points which tell in true economy. The
table and kitchen present opportunities
for saving unriyaled. Not through
stinting, that folly leads to doctors
bills, at least TO impaired forces, bat
through very careful selection and
preparation of the cheap and abundant
and the ingenious utilization of every
thing. Domestic service permits of
much saving. A handy wife and daugh-
tiers working methodieally can keep a
house in perfect order without taking
