WOMEN AND SECRETS.

Just discovered: A new reason for
the employment of womenI
''Surprises await us at every turn, u
says a scoffer, but the final blow falls
with the statement that women are
employed because of their ability to
keep secrets!"
Let those who will scoff-but the
last theory on this timely subject is
that the trade secret or the private
design intrusted by her firm to- wo-
man is safer than.if it were protected
by patents.
Now, there is probably just this
truth in the statement: that the
secrets that women give away are
only the small mysterious happenings
calculated to arouse mOmentary ex-
element of jealousy. When once a
woman fully makes up her mind not
to reveal a matter that is hers alone,
the fact remains her own forever.
i You haven't known a woman with
a secret in her breast? Then you
haven't known the world, for there
are those who have lived with the
knowledge of something they chose
to keep and who have died with it.
too. Those women are in the small
minority who give to their women
friends the things that.'to them, have
mattered most.
It is not difficult to de!ude some
woman into the satisfied belief that
she, and only she among all of your
friends, has got at your life's secret
during some brief afternoon call or
evening stroll; but rest assured that
the curious one, if she evinced the
slightest desire to pry, heard only
some other thing that was nothing at
all; that was let out to excite her or
to satisfy, and that the real secret
remained locked as securely as ever
