RoARED HIS GENTLE REsuKE.
Mates Wrath Found Vent In Peculiar
Form Of Reprosoh.

Rear Admiral Mead, who has just
been retired, was talking one night at
a dinner in Portsmouth about the
power of discipline
In my youth. he said. Il knew
first mate in the merchant service
who, though an excellent officer, was
dreadfully profane When anything
went wrong he would volley forth
oaths and curses in a shocking way
Once, though, he shipped with a very
strict, religious captain, and the first
time this captain chanced to witness
one of the mates swearing bouts he
gave the young man a good dressing
down You are first-rate officer, he
ended, but remember, no more swear
ing. Not another oath aboard my
ship.
We'll, the mate bore the captains
warning in mind Then one afternoon
It happened that the boatswain made
an inexcusable error in carrying out
an order. When the boatswain con
fessed the fault he had committed
the mate turned red with rage. He
opened his mouth Everybody looked
at him xpectantly, waiting to hear
some re rkable oaths, but just then
the captai. owe in sight The mate.
seeing the { tain, remembered his
orders about PR 'anity But his rage
had to have vent of some sort and,
striding up close to the culprit, he
roared in the mans face, You naugh-
ty, naughty boatswain!'"

a woman unless she understands that
having earned money, it is to be
iudiciously invested. A salary of sew
eral thousand dollars a year or Of
$500 are equally insufficient if the re-

SO ignorant of business forms that she

Nothing is dying a surer death than
the thought that a woman is incapable
of understanding business. With most
women the sin of extravaganza is com
mitted through ignorance, and this ig-
nOrance is the result of the general
attitude toward her The married man
who has the honesty and good faith
to talk over expenditures and his
probable income usually fiuds that his
wife is as willing to make sacrifices as
himself. Many a woman regrets lack
of confidence on her husbands part,
as regards these matters, and no man
can blame his family for extrava-
gance if he cannot be frank enough to
consult with them concerning the bills
to be met, such as rent, light, heat,
clothing and incidentals
In general, business is no respecter
of persons. Certain principles are as
fixed with the woman as with the man
Honesty is essential to success. So
is the thought that time is valuable
1t is always advantageous to keep per.
sonal accounts and strict record of
receipts and expenses. This is desir-
able, not alone because it guards
against living beyond ones means, but
because the bookkeeping encourages
the habit of saving. This keeping of
personal accounts need not be a com
plicared matter Separate pages for
debit and credit can form the basis
on which the accounts are kept and in
genuity will supply some simple ad-

up weekly, so that at the end Of the
month complete statement confronts
one. No matter how trivial the pur-
chase the amount should be put down,
for continual failure to record small
expenditures will in the end make bal

manner When they see their covered
way approaching a building, they drop
a train Of syrup from this way to the
nearest nest of black ants. The first
ones that see the syrup follow it up

anclng accounts an impossibility.
On general principles, bills are to be
avoided, and it is better to pay cash
or to go without. There are several
reasons for this. Many of the trials
OF merchants are induced by the fail
ure Of persons to pay bills. Another
reason is that many people, men as
well as women, will if they can get
trusted, purchase with an idea of
where the funds are to come from to
settle the account. There are rea-
sons enough without the added ones
that bills accumulate so that the
amount always looks twice as large
when presented, and that unpaid bills
are a discouragement to the bread
winner
The payment of a bill calls for a re-
ceipt. This is given by the party paid
and is in reality a written acknowledg-
ment for money or other value re-
ceived. It should be kept. for it NAV

case of dispute or mistake, and it pre-

No matter what their financial
standing, all women need business

make expenses and receipts balance

ton, but too often this is sadly neg
lected. The young girl is not taught
to keep track of her allowance and
the married woman uses her husband S
money just as she did her fathers or
her own, with no systematic record
of where it goes to-
There are many reasons for this
Until of late the business faculty has
been cultivated in men and the oppo-
site tendency encouraged in women
Women have not handled money
They have not been taught to make
out checks, to lend money with prop
er security, to know the routine of
bank, to understand even the simplest
commercial usages that men under
stand because. they have grown up
among them
We may regret when a woman loses
her all, when she lends money with
out security, when she is swayed by
feelings of emotion to lend large sums

good to his wife" or leads in pray.

know check from draft We may
regret but the chances are we will
shrug our shoulders and say: But
that is just like a woman What can
you expect?" But the question is,
would not man with no business
training do the same in her place?

facts in the business world, and some
part of this world she cannot escape,
no matter how secluded her life, her
liability to failure will decrease rs per

Women are not naturally stupid
about money affairs. AS a matter of
fact, when they understand business
they are more accurate about handling
money than men. Witness the count

ury department at Washington, not a
single man is employed to count
money by hand. Four hundred wom-
en- are engaged for this purpose, and
they are selected because they do it
accurately and swiftly.
That women know little of business
usage cannot be denied It makes lit
tie difference whether a woman is
earning her living or attending to
household affairs and accounts
Whether she is the producer of money
or the distributor who manipulates
the money that the breadwinner sup
plies, it is her obligation to get the
worth of every dollar she handles and
to learn enough Of the business world
to protect her own money and any en-
trusted to her With the average per-
son, no degree ot success can be at
tanned without rightly regulated
economy, the proper distribution of
funds for expenses and a knowledge
of what becomes of money.
Business will not conduct itself sue
cessfully, either in the great wide
world or the seclusion Of home and no
matter what the life work or social
status, familiarity of business forms
is a wise protection against financial
embarrassment. Many a woman has
made a fiasco Of supporting herself
and has made home life miserable after
marriage because she did not under
stand the financial problem. Fortunate
is the girl who has enough knowledge
Of business forms to give her assur-
ance and the wife who is familiar with
her husbands business affairs. The
former will know enough to keep any
surplus money she may accrue and the
latter will not only be a help to her
husband while he is living, but will
understand how to attend to what is
left at his death, and to face the world
in a competent manner.
The necessity of some means of sup
port appeals forcibly to most women.
Formerly, women accepted the anomal- |

their inheritance, because they were

that it is we'll to be equipped for the

sary to use so much starch that the

hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only DESTROYS the

can be entirely overcome by using De-
