rearing of a reasonable number of sons and
daughters but is it necessary that should give
her entire time to it? Does she give her entire
time to it? In the past. when she was supposed
to do nothing else, has she been giving any great
proportion of her time to the vital needs OF her
family? She is to be their nurse. How much has
she commonly been taught about nursing? She is
to provide the food to nourish their bodies. How
much accurate knowledge has the average woman
of bodily requirements of food properties? We
are waking up to this lack, but as yet very slowly.
Women and children.
M ORE important than these other considerations,
w is supposed to furnish her children
their ideals, and what her own? All unconscious
ly, but in all truth, the greater number OF women
worshipping the god OF world gear. Like ants
they scurry about in ceaseless effort to accumu-
late things. Their greatest apparent pleasure is
in the possession of things; their greatest desire,
the money that will buy things; their heavi-
est and most unceasing labor the using and
ing for these things
1t is therefore to be that if are to
have careers it first becomes necessary for them
to get the useless obstacles out of the way, and
indeed, it is for want of worthier outlet that
women have wrecked their energies upon min-
cry and lavished their very souls upon salads.
But the of the whole matter lies here;
women will never find satisfaction in the COM
mercia career. To their everlasting credit be it
said mere money-making no matter how success
fully they carry it through, will ever leave them
at the end with nothing but dry husks and disi
lusionment.
OF what material then, shall a fashion
her career? What shall she do?
Well, first let her find out what she loves to do;
then let her do the thing for the love of doing it,
Fortunate she will be and sensible if she develops
a taste or aspiration which shall be aided by her
opportunities. There not many people in the
world who could have done only thing Well,
and indeed, nearly all work is beautiful if it be
beautifully done. And if you rightly consider it,,
why is it not quite as honorable to be a fine aun-
dress it is to be fine musician?
What some women do.
II ERE is case in point: At Pocanoc / have a
- friend, Mrs. MaNon, who always does laundry
work for limited number of patrons in the sum
mer. 1t is something OF distinction to have her
do ones work. Such marvels OF smooth white
perfection! 1t is the fine art OF laundering, and
every acquaintance of Mrs MaXon fully realizes
that she has intelligence and pose as the loving
worker always has.
Two three similar instances recall. Up in
the Maine woods for example. there is woman
who delights in making jams and jellies of wild
fruits. She knows how to catch their delicate
and prison it in glass jars. Naturally she
is proud of her skill, and that she should never
have enough OF her wares to meet the demand be

of design and Skllful craftsmanship IN the MAX
ing of frocks. OF course her work was pleasure
to her, and for time she went on expanding
good taste and richness of fancy in sewing for
the women OF the village. When that did not sat
isfy her ambition she fashioned exquisite gowns
for her own wearing, and such was her success
that recently she received call from big es-
Enlistment in Chicago, where, with ample ma
terias to work with and a corps of assistants.
she does nothing but design artistic frocks at a
salary proportionate to her ability.
Another l happen to know who is
less fortunate in getting pleasure as we'll as ade-
quate compensation out of her employment In
school she was about the last girl whom one would
expect to find connected later in life with any
thing that might be called practical. After her
marriage she taught music until the strain OF that
vocation broke her down nervously. Being
woman who demands some individual activity,
she is now making exquisite confectionery So
perfect is her product that she is independent
TO custom She has more orders than she cares
to fill.
Quite different type of woman is Mrs. Norton
but she likewise is eminenty successful She can
not cook, she teach music, and with her music
she earns money to pay maid as we'll as to en-
poy an admirable nurse, who cares for her little
during the hours that she is occupied. In ad-
dtion to being good mother she has kept her
self spirited and sympathetic companion for her
musical husband
Woman's happiest
IT HESE examples of successful women, not to
mention scores Of others which might be quoted
with equal significance must clearly indicate that
the work woman can do in home or in connec
ton with home is the work in which she will be
happiest. And this is by sentimental,
but purely physiological consideration
Domestic life need not keep from the
self-eNpression, which is the truest meaning OF
career. She may not produce great volume
OF work as though she We're to cut loose from all
ties, but who deny that what she does pro-
duce, be it book or frock, a picture or roll OF
butter will be superior in quality because she has

gowns and constructed her hats. IT, by in
defatigabe shopping and running to bargain sales
she could secure material cheaply and then sue
cessfully copy an expensive model, she felt that
she had scored triumph. Her time and strength
she counted as nothing. In one instance she saved
fifteen dollars by making frock upon which she
devotedly put miles OF stitching and afterward
she had to go to the doctor His bill was thirty
dollars.
The footing up of that account think, did
to her than medical treatment Since
then she does not consider it necessary to do all
her buying at bargain sales in order to save
money. and further deverance is that she now
has time to read something besides department
store advertisements.
1t must be admitted that in these days she is
not quite so we'll dressed she used to be. and
doubtless the house is not uniformly mmacu-
late since she has left most of its to the
woman who comes in to clean at regular inter-
walls, but of this there can be no doubt: her &C
counts show that by doing literary work-which
she loves to do-she has earned more than enough
to pay for all the sewing, millinery, house cleaning
and laundry which she has hired done.
OF all women do not want to write but
| believe that frequently than they realize
they could make the earnings OF some chosen
work pay for the doing of other work. and when
such result can be shown, it is improbable that
any businesslike husband will object to such
methods of household economy.
Hiring work done.
NJ OREOVER, there is no reason why the work
~ hires done should not be satisfactorily DONE
BY putting the people who do these tasks pro-
fessonal basis, by giving them the responsibility
and requiring good results: more than all, by let
ting them feel that considers what they do
skilled labor and by paying for it as such, it
may all be counted upon to adjust itself very
happily.
Women told that if they fill their "heaven
appointed sphere they will have time for
reers, but matter of fact it is not much
time that they need as to learn the proper use OF
time No woman will be likely to enjoy career
until she has learned the difference between help
full, vital, upbuilding work and the sort of effort
which must be considered merely petty pottering
and business.
That women should spend so much time in the
doing of nconsequential things is not to be Won
