HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
Believed Here That a Permanent Tri-
bunal Will Come in Time.

Mr.. Choate. one Of the American dele
gates to The Hague conference. reported
today to the State Department by cable
that present indications were that the con-
ference would adjourn sine die October 5
next.
1t Is felt here that the failure of the con-
ference to adopt the American plan for
permanent court which would determine
great international issues and gradually
create an enduring body of international
law has not been complete. Without doubt
a sentiment has been fOstered among the
delegates that perhaps by the time the
next conference Is held Will be strong
enough to cause the delegates to sink their
own desires and suspicious and consent to
the creation Of some kind Of permanent
tribunal.

Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or individual happi-
ness, and, on the whole, business life
makes for restlessness, selfshness, and
discomfort. You can not measure the
influence of business on the woman by
figures or statistics.
You can not count wrecked lives
among women wage-earners as you can
tally off divorce cases on court calen-
dars, and trace them to certain causes,
such as inCompatability, desertion.
cruelty, etc. You can not say that a
woman In business Is a failure or sue
cess according to the salary she draws.
You can not expect the trim, self
contained girl at your elbow to admit
that her perfectly appointed little
apartment becomes a whited sepulchre
in perfectly ordered life of dinners,

failure.
She says she Is a success. In her

Never mind what the method, save
little. If you can only afford cents
a week, save 1t and do not think 1t too
small to bother with. A woman with
a small bank account of her own or
with some little savings invested in a
strong financial institution, can never
be as utterly crushed to earth by any
kind of misfortune as the one who, in
addition to her other troubles, has not
a penny to help herself with. You
may have rich friends who are willing
to come to your aid in an emergency,
but with your own little capital you
will have a feeling of independence
which Is one of the most satisfactory
feelings in the world to have. Try 1t
once and see. 1t is only at the begin
ming that women have to be urged to
save. Just as soon as they realize the
satisfaction Of it, they are quite ready
to go on without any further urging.

isolation they are forced to endure.
Women on lonely farms and in small
villages grow morbid and mildly in
sane, and people do not guess that the
cause is want OF companlonship. 1t is
for this reason that womans work at
home Is always more trying that that
of her husband, who goes to the office,
sees new faces and has the friction
that Is produced by meeting other peo-
pie. Even the farmer has more inter-
course with his neighbor at market or
at the village grocery than his wife,
who may not see any one outside of her
own family for weeks. 1t is a great
mistake for young people to Isolate
themselves. Even If their tastes lead
them to a quiet life, they should make
it n point to cultivate a few agreeable
friends.-Woman's Life.
