Business women have yet to learn
now to preserve their own health, for
Few or them are willing TO accept the
TACT that although they are penetrating
INTO mans world. they have not, and
/ PROBABLY never viii have. the physical
| endurance Of the men about them After
! While women viii learn what occu-
pations suit them best physically and
mentally and they viii educate them
! selves to the necessary routine OF bust
ness life adapted to their powers. They
| Will also learn TO conserve their super
| abundance of nerve force and use it in
the right way.
"A woman can never hope TO make a
success in her work or profession until
she gains control of her nerves This
Is the first and great commandment to
be remembered by the woman in bust
ness. And the second is like unto ii.
in that she must keep her business life
and her home and social existence alb
solutely apart and allow neither one
to interfere with the other. ONCE
worries should be resolutely shaken off
when the Office doors are closed. and
on the other hand. the life outside the
office must not be allowed to encroach
upon business hours, so far as to in
Jure success in that business or to i'm
pair the health.
As rule the conscientious woman of
business whether she be in an office or
store, or teacher. allows her work to
absorb all her thoughts, waking and
sleeping until she sinks into quite as
hopeless a rut as does her sister at
home. who is overburdened with do
nestle duties
1t is absolutely necessary for every
woman in business to have an outside
interest aside from her routine work
II she desires to keep well mentally
and physically and to look bright and
contented.
Now, by outside interest is not meant
too gay social life. which means late
hours, untitled for early rising the next
morning, nor absorbing interest in the
latest novel which draws her mind
away from her work. BY no means.
The business woman, like the business
man, must learn that there is a limit
to human capabilities. and find out Just
how much excitement she can stand
without feeling the i'll effects both in
health and appearance.
The last mentioned brings another
point of view into the discussion. No
employer likes to see his employees look
dull and spiritless. working in a me-
chanical heartless way and appearing
sallow-and shall we add, disconnected?
When the body is in poor condition the
effects show first upon the face until
even the expression is altered
The business woman soon learns that
her health is her most valuable asset
and she knows that 1t is cheaner 70
take care of herself than to pay doc
tors bills. Women too often rely upon
their nervous force to carry them
through the day--they do at least, I'M
til a fit of illness results in a bitter
awakening to the fact that the human
machine requires as careful adjustment
as the most delicate machinery.
The complexion suffers the most per
ceptibly from the effects of a seden-
tary life, and the girl whose work
keeps her indoors most of the day must
see to it that she takes means to
counteract the results brought about

THE RAKlNG OF THE GREEN
Two Of Our Original Village Improve
ment Organizations.


Many years ago there was observed
n unique custom In the little town OF

Of the year the women Of the town as
scmbled on the village green. Each
carried II wooden rake decorated with
her favorltc color. and each was dress.
cd I'm white dccked out with colOrcd
ribbons. II was day Of fcte, and II
was called THE Raking of the Green"
Then with song and laughter and
with many jest this band Of women
cleaned the village green Of all the
leaves and refuse and dirt of years
accumulation. When the job was
done they adjourned To the town hall.
where they were Joined by their nus
bands and brothers and the village IA
theirs. 4 public banquet celebrated the
occasion.
While this was not the first char
tered village Improvement association
In the United States, II was probably
at that time the most enthusiastic

Home Companion. New Haven,
Conn. can rightly claim the first effort
In village improvement. while Stock

as offering the second.
