HOME BETTER THAN DcAReea.v
So Declares Woman Who Has Made
Big Success in Business.

The distinction of being the highest
salaried woman in New York, in the
opinion of Miss Anna Louise Amendt,
who draws something near 100000 a
year. does not compensate for the
sacrifice of domestic ties which such
a success exacts.
This is what Miss Amendt, who Is
the most valuable employe of the big.
gest real estate concern in New York,
told a writer who visited her beauti-
fully appointed Office:
81 suppose many women envy me,
but, to my mind, to be a good mother
and wife is the grandest of all success
ses. Home is the natural sphere for
every woman, and no matter in what
direction her lines may be cast she
cannot entirely shake off that desire
to reign as its queen some time.
1T is just this one ruling element
in her life that prevents her from at
tanning equal success with men. The
average girl lives in hope that some
day husband will come along and
shoulder her burden. 1t is only when
she rids herself of this thought that
definite success in business comes, for
concentration is one of the keynotes
to success.
Another thing: Women are doubt
full Of their ability to accomplish vast
results, and it is impossible to do a
thing as long as doubt rests in your
mind.
When / started out to earn my liv-
ing | began as stenographer with a
salary of SIC week. 1t was not such
a great while until my check was in
creased to $50. That did not look so
big to me, but it would have satisfied
the average woman.
MY checks continued to increase
until they ran into the thousands. or
course, my usefulness had increased,
for l was not satisfied with being a
stenographer. l had learned every
phase of the business and could put a
big deal through with as much ability
as could any man in the office. / pre-
pared all of the literature. In fact,
there is no part of the business with
which l am not familiar.
But with all my success 1 would
not advise the young girl to seek a
career. For in my belief, the girl who
gets married is on the right road to
happiness. Success in all lines is
hard"

Iceberg Gardens.

I'VE passed many icebergs coming
home from Europe" said tourist,
land on one of them a garden
bloomed.
1T was a beautiful sight. The great
berg shone like an enormous emerald
in the sun, and in one level recess,
fenced in by pale green peaks, yel-
low garden cleaned. The captain
said that iceberg gardens are not un-
common. Moss, 1t seems, is brought
on to the bergs by animals feet. The
moss grows, it decays. 1t forms a soil
for the pollen of buttercups and dan
delions that is blown through the air
during the brief arctic summer. Soon
the incredible spectacle presents It,
self of great, cold berg adrift in the
salt sea with yellow flowers springing
from the hard, cold ice."

Oxyoen Tipplinu.

Oxygen tippling is the latest form
Of the drug habit" said doctor. 1.-TWO
physicians have died of it this year,
and 1t is stated that there are quite
100 oxygen tipplers among the laity of
our big cities.
"Oxygen, you know, is wonderful
stimulant Its inhalation keeps death
off the dying for days and days. But
taken regularly 1t soon wrecks the
health. It's effect is said to be de-
lightful. Like champagne, 1t creates
gayety. Along with this gayety goes
a feeling of tremendous power and
lightness. Drunk on oxygen, the most
sluggish and melancholy persons have
a joyous and heartening idea that they
can do anything in the world-wrest
the oil trade from Rockefeller, say,
or with little practice outrun Johnny
Hayes"

Forehanded,

on a farm this summer and many of
the rural expressions are wholly un-
familiar to her. One day she CHANGED
to hear her country hostess praising
the good qualities of certain thrifty
neighbor.

to some folks" said the farmers wife,
but he makes out wonderfully well;
he's so forehanded."
That evening the man thus lauded
happened to drop in, and Katherine
Immediately sidled up to him, with
curious eyes. Slowly she revolved
about the chair in which he sat, and
so persistently did she gaze at him
that the farmers wife finally noticed

CHTVALRY OF TODAY
OLD FASHION HAS GIVEN PLACE
TO NEW.
Elaborate Compliments Now Seldom
Exchanged Between the Sexes
Men and Madens More Than
Ever Truly Companions.

To-day the young man of fashion
marries the girl with whom he has
ridden, rowed, climbed, fished, hunted,
played tennis and golf. He knows she's
good sport and the finest girl in the
world, but If he ever thought her a
saint, that idea is knocked Que of his
head long before the wedding day. He
doesn't boost her by the elbow over
every rock, because he knows she can
climb better than he can. He doesn't
gallantly give her points in games, be-
cause he knows that if he does she'll
beat him.
And SO 1t is with the women in the
professions, in the arts and in busi-
ness. There they meet men as fellow
workers, just as the more idle women
meet them as fellow-athletes. They
are drawn together by common inter
ests, and in the cases where love and
marriage result the common interests
remain and form a serviceable and
stable background for the romantic
foreground But the man who works
in the same office with a woman can't
bob up and offer her his chair every
time she comes into the room. He
wouldn't have time to do anything
else. He can't stop smoking when
she is in the room. If he did, he might
as well give up smoking altogether. If
he happens to keep his hat on in the
office, it doesn't show any disrespect
toward the women. It's simply habit
that is bad for his hair. This whole
some comradeship in work and play
insures a mutual knowledge before
marriage which is certainly more Sc
cure basis for permanent happiness
than are romantic dreams. There is
slight danger that lovers will thus be-
come too practical
The flowers of chivalry are fading.
The old-fashioned lady of ruffs and
feathers and perfumes has indeed
fallen upon evil days. Elaborate COM
pliments are few and far between. The
courtly gallantry of the dominant male
for "the fair and weaker sex" no long
er flourishes. The frail parlor girl
is no match for the vigorous golf girl.
The old dowager of 40 is no match
for the sprightly middle-aged woman
of 60. The new woman" is not as new
as she was. With each few years she
becomes less uncouth and better I'M
derstood. She is fast learning that
she hampers rather than promotes in
terests of her sex by aping men. She
is coming to realize that feminine
charm is just as potent force in the
twentieth century as ever it was in
the days of chivalry. She is beginning
to understand the sacrifice of her
womanliness is far too heavy price
to pay for independence, and that by
no such sacrifice will she ever receive
from men the justice she seeks. The
old-fashioned woman, on the other
hand, like her pug dog, is fast passing.
She will be, in no very distant future,
a memory of the past, like the mas
todon of bygone geologic ages. She
cannot survive in an age in which JUS
tice and independence are supplanting
fiattery and gallantry.-Appleton'
Magazine.

TALE OF TWO TOTS
HAPPY, THOUGH THINLY GLAD
AND COLD.
Deep Drifts and Flying Snow Of Little
Moment-And Think Of I'll
A Whole Penny to
Spend.

They were plodding through the
snow during the storm, little tots who
were thinly clad, with blue faces and
big bright eyes. Their little baby fin
gers were peeping out of ragged nit
tens, wet with snow. Their shoes
were filled with snow, because the
buttons were off at the top, and the
tops were loose.
One of them was a little girl about
six years old. She wore a calico dress
and her stockings were patched with
darning marks from knee to ankle.
Around her neck she wore a woman's
fur neck piece of the style of ten years
ago. The other was boy. and his
thin little legs were covered by trou-
sers which bore the signs of home
tailoring. He swung his arms against
his body for full minute.
why don't you do this?" he asked.
IT'S a dandy way to git warm
"'Cause girls can't act that way
lisped the other little tot. Mamma
says 1t amt ladylike"
But she eyed her companion with
evident envy. The pair trudged along,
stumbling over drifts and shading
their eyes from the flying snow. AS
the girl held an arm before her eyes
the snow was blown into her sleeve,
leaving her arm chafed red.
An automobile whisked by, and
through the glass windows the tots
saw two other children, cozy and rosy
and warm.
Gee" said the boy, ut would be
fine to ride in one of them"
But just think if they tipped over"
said the little philosopher by his side.
And we amt got far to go"
They came to a crossing, and turned
to cross the street. A prancing team
passed them, held in check by uni
formed coachman. The little girl
skipped out of harms way just in the
nick of time.
Let's run" said the boy.
And they ran through the snow,
piled high on the walks. until the girl
Jagged behind.
Gee" said the boy, you amt much
of a runner"
He stretched his little legs and ran
away half a block ahead of her. The
girl stopped, breathless, and half-cry-
ing.
The boy stopped, and stood throw
ing snowballs at signboard, trying
to look unconcerned. When the girl
stopped again he looked back. Run
ming quickly to meet her, he threw his
arms around her. half crying himself
Gee" he said, don't cry. You
don't have to be runner. l like you,
anyway. Girls amt got to run. I've
got penny"
The girl stopped crying. Her face
frightened.
Can you spend it, really?" she
asked, shyly.
Bet can. l earned it, shovelin
snow"
Then 1 guess l am able to walk as
far as the candy store" she said.
And away they went, the girl and
the boy, cold forgotten, hand in hand
Il like you, If you do make me run"
whispered the woman of six.-Milwau

A Woman's Heroism.

History has presented few examples
of greater heroism than that of Mis-.
s. j. Rookie, the telephone operator of
Folsom, N. M, who when warned by a
resident of the hills to flee for her life
from the flood speeding to engulf the
valley, rejected the opportunity to
save herself and employed the hour
that intervened between the warning
received and her own death by drown
ing in calling up subscribers by tele-
phone and acquainting them of their
danger. More than 40 families have
already acknowledged their lives
saved through the magnificent cour-
age of one frail woman, whose life
less body, with the telephone head
piece still adjusted to her ears, was
found IL miles down the canyon.

Went wiIIinoIy to Crocodile.

1t has been said that the Australian
blacks never commit suicide; that
self-destruction does not come within
their philosophy. The author Of Con
fessions of Beachcomber" mentions
a case of recent date which he thinks
might be regarded as in conflict with
that view: "a member of the Clump
Point tribe, painfully afflicted with a
vexatious skin disease, was fishing at
the mouth of creek when his hook
fouled. To companion he said he
would dive to get it clear. His friend
endeavored to dissuade him, remind
ing him of the crocodile which they
had seen but a short time before.
But the boy, worn with pain and
weary with neverending irritation,
said if he was taken, No matter. Good
job, me finished then He dived and
there was commotion in the water.
The boy appeared on the surface,
making frantic appeals for help while
the crocodile worried him. He escaped
for moment and his friend clutched
his hand and drew him to the bank,
only to have him torn from his
grasp"
