WOMAN'S WORK

til about 1868, when soldiery had
made men scarce.
Woman's entrance. into the business
world is a very modern innovation. 1t
all dates since the civil war, and was
really not accepted until 1876, the year
the typewriter and telephone were in
vented and the typewriter and tele-
phone girl were discovered.
Even yet the average man keeps his
wife IN total ignorance of his financial
affairs, thinking that she hasn't the
ability to comprehend the intricacies OF
trade
So here we have it: The new world
was discovered in 1892; man was dis
covered in 1875, and woman was dis
covered in 1876
Before 1875 man was only a worm OF
the dust and the tradition still fingers,
fostered by those who believe in the
ministry of fear
Before 1876 WOmans existence was
not even suspected Doubtless a few
men had their suspicious, but these
were considered unsafe, erratic. strange
and peculiar.
In youth, when she was pink and
twenty, she was a plaything: when
she grew old and .wrinkled she was a
scullion and a drudge All laws were
made by men, and in some states a
woman only has yet second mort

Keep Your Interest Alive.
Now, to every woman who finds her
self, from design or accident, single
and past thirty, L would urge a careful
self-analysis and watchfulness as the
days go by
Let her not lose her interest in chill
dren, nor turn carping critic of the
youth and maid, nor set herself as
judge of all husbands and wives, nor
allow her love of order to make her
an uncomfortable crank about trifles.
Let her be tolerant of the ideas of
others and keep love and sympathy
alive in her heart.
There is much said and written by
certain conventional order of mind
about the people who are kind to ami
mails and sympathetic to human be-
ingS and Indifferent to children L
think such a combination is most ex-
ceptional; kindness and sympathy for
animals almost invariably indicate uni

But l have encountered two single
women in my life who sunk natural

The present enlarged outlook for
woman is a blessing to the world. 1t
gives the Single woman almost unlim-
tied scope and avenues for thought. ac-
ton and usefulness. Yet the conditions
which tend to drive her toward crank
mess still exist, and she should face
the facts and fight against the results.
That married women should seek to
grow agreeable and companionable as
they advance in years is understood
but the single woman has no husband
or children to condone her faults and
love her in spite of them, and it be-

versaiton to drive away the load of
cares which beset his weary mind.
All this is very true. There are al
ways women who forget that mans
business life is not one perpetual fete,
and that his home is frequently the
only place to which he can turn for
real rest and peace of mind.
But observation impresses upon my
mind the conviction that very few
business men leave their Office and
shop worries and anxieties behind
them when they enter the domestic
door at eventide
They carry them into the home and
expect the wife to be entertained With
them. If she endeavors to change the
subject, they feel that she is not in
terested in their affairs, and that she
is heartless and Indifferent
If they do not talk their worries at
home, they act them, which is quite
as bad, if not worse.
1t is, of course, a duty and a pleas
ure for a sympathetic wife TO soothe
and cheer and distract mans mind
from care; but it is equally thought
full mans duty to save a wife all the
unnecessary worry possible.
Nothing weakens a character sooner
than the habit of taking all its troubles
to another life to bear vicariously and
ignoring its own duty for self-reliance,
cheerfulness and courage.
The coming home of a man whom a
woman loves is the event of the day
for her, no matter how full her life
may be of agreeable duties or social
pleasures. If four or five days out Of
the six week days he comes home with
the blues just so many days are
spoiled for her
simulate and sympathize and cheer,
the strain upon her vital and spiritual
forces becomes exhausting, and the
character of the man grows surely If
uncOnsciously weaker by the process.
A wife creates the atmosphere of
