littering prospects of making more

Glittering prospects of making more
than q per cent on an Investment
should be put aside resoluteiy. The
chances are that they are unsafe. as
the higher the interest the greater the
risk. Gold mines and shares in indus
trial enterprises are not for working
women No matter how trusted the
friend who advises them. they should
be steadily refused. In fact, every in
vestment should be made with an eye
to its reliability.

Analysed. the situation probably re-
solves itself into this: Mrs. Smith has
patience. and Mrs. Jones has none.
Mrs. Jones would rather fire maid
if she does moi do all and everything
that she wants her to, while Mrs.
Smith will help the newcomer over the
hard places and train her gradually
into the ways of the house.
Mrs. Smith also will not expect ull-

refused, saying that it is not a

to lose his help she brought out the
bible to convince. him Of his error
and read as follows from II Kings
21:13; And will wipe Jerusalem
as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it
and turning it upside down" It is
needless to say that he is still doing
his occasional stunt.

sides Of the question in recent years
and will deal with the subject from
a practical rather than from a
sentimental standpoint. Whatever
your belief or preference in the
matter your opinions will be treated
with respect and you are cordially
urged to be present, at 1870 o'clock.
