Women as Managers.
We have declared that housekeeping
j. "a business, a diversified, difficult, I'M
,,artaut business. We have intimated
HAT many women unfortunately fail to
realize that they have a high place i'll
the business world and that they are the
losers thereby. Homemaking Is Oblec
tiouahle To thousands of wives because
ihry think some of the household work
j.. rs they put it, beneath them" They
forget that no useful person can forever
escape work that is distasteful. They
are deceived, too, perhaps by the belief
that there can be no business that does
nor bring in a stipulated amount on
certain day of the week, or Il dividend
at regular intervals They measure
work by its returns in cash, and because
they do not put housekeeping Oh Il bust
ness basis they are unable to see that
good management at home pays in Just
the same material way as it does in the
biggest department store or the smaller

civilized world, there is time when

other home necessities can he purchased
for much less than the prices that pre-
vail during the seasons when such things
are in greatest demand. Business men
offer these advantages in order to stmu-
late trade in the dull periods and to
make room for new goods The woman
who knows when these sales are held
and uses them to advantage is the WON
an who does not need to be told that
housekeeping is business. 1t is the
careless housekeeper, the poor manager
who helps the merchant roll up diyi-

with the proverbial grain of salt. This
woman, who is located in New York
