ANOTHER BUSINESS
WOMAN EXPRESSES
Her Opinion of Question
Under Consideration.

Il am a business woman of some
years experience. and though have not
done, and am not doing. anything to
greatly distinguish me from thousands of
others, have been comparatively sue
cessful, but with all my apparent salts
faction and the zeal 1 put in my work.
and the real pleasure 1 derive from 1t. 1
entertain a sincere regret that 1 ever en-
tered the business field.
Il firmly believe that a womans place
is not in the business world, which is
decidedly a mans place, but in the home
fulfilling the destiny which God intended
to be hers when he made her of more
sensitive and Trailer workmanship than
man.
Not DisEruntled.
Il don't wish it understood that I am
disgruntled or dissatisfied (no one en-
joys her work and life more than y, but
1 know that through contact with all
kinds of people and all conditions of life
a woman loses her unequaled feminine
charm, through the necessary subordi-
nation of her peculiar womanly traits to
those essential to a successful business
career.
Il am in perfect accord with the opinion
expressed by "a Washington mother in
The Washington Herald of the 2lst in
stant, namely. the keeping of the girls in
the home. and If ever forsake the office
for a home of my own (and I have not
lost enough of one feminine trait to say
that l certainly entertain that hope), and
be blessed with a daughter, 1 shall keep
her with me, and in the home at any
cost to myself!
Believes in Womnn's Development.
Il also do not wish to convey the i'm
preston that woman must become a
drudge and remain a nonentity. Let her
have her clubs, those for the better
ment Of her intellectual self, and let her
do such work for the good of humanity
both charitably and educationally that
comes her way, but let her always keep
the home and the proper rearing Of flu
ture generations foremost in her life
And finally, what can be OF more benefit
financially, morally. or socially to the
world than the giving of pure. clean, and
intellectual human being to it?
ANOTHER BUSINESS GIRL"
The Washington herald., 1911-08-27

TO go after her hated rival with a gun.
Instead she will just reach out for the
lady's pocketbook and trade of a worth
less husband for some perfectly good
cash.
Price Above Rubfes.
OF course. a good husbands price al
ways will be above rubies, and no wo-
man who has got one will want to part
with him for any amount Of money, but
IT'S cheering thought that even q
bad husband may not be as poor a bar
gain as he seems. There may be some
other woman who Is as big a gump as
you have been. and who will take him
of your hands"
That's right" responded Mrs. Per-
kins. "anS think what a saving 1t will
thfes when we go TO visit the neglected
wife. We won't have to sit up and
mingle our tears with hers as she tells
us how some peroxided lady with a slim
front figure stole her poor unsuspecting
John from her. On the contrary, she
will be chirpy and CHEEKY and. while she
shows us her new hat with forty will
low plumes on it. and a pink chiffon
gown and all of the gewgaws she has
been longing for for years and hasn't
had the money to buy. she Will brag
about the kind of a bargain she drove
with the peroxided siren"
II know a lot of women,' said Mrs.
Billings. that would be better of II they
could swap their husbands of for a bead
chain. and they would be glad to do it."
We'll, my goodness" exclaimed Mrs.
Perkins but I'd hate to pay much for
a secondhand husband"
It's everybody for herself in a horse
trade or a husband trade" said Mrs.
Billings The point that l am calling
attention to is that women have walked
up to the fact that when their husbands
get tired of them and desert them II is
better to close out their interests for a
cash consideration than 1t is to break
their hearts. AS for myself, II I had
side-stepping husband I'd let him go far
70 cents and consider that I had robbed
the sister that purchased him."

PROPER SERVICE
FOR RAFTERNOONTE TEA

One Of the newer forms for afternoon
tea service is squat cream jug and sugar
bowl of rock crystal set in a silver frame
with arched handle to make passing easy.
Another usful article is a cake litter OF
silver This is on the order of ice tongs,
but the one prong is fiat instead of
forked.
A convenient tea strainer has a silver
bowl and handle. and rests on a rock
crystal, silver-rimmed dish to prevent
dripping on the cloth.
For tea on the lawn the wicker tables
on wheels are light and convenient They
are provided with double trays and car
be filled and pushed to any part of the
grounds.
Tea trays for porch service are of dark
green wicker rims with base of cretonne
or rare old brocade covered with glass
The handles on each end are substantial
enough for hard use.
Long-handled iced teaspoons make ar
acceptable wedding gift for the summer
bride, as they will be in constant use for
lunch and afternoon tea. Those with hol-
lowed tubes through which the tea car
be slipped like a straw are more move
than practical, as they are open to sus-
picion from a sanitary standpoint.

ITS PROFITS WOMAN
TO LOOK HER BEST

IT cannot afford either the time or the
money to be always we'll groomed,"
said a woman recently in bewailing the
fact that she was losing her youthful
freshness OF complexion and daintiness
Of figure. Just then her husband came
| in from his work. He was clean shaven.
his hair was cut to just the right length.
his shoes were polished to a glass-like
luster and 1t was noticed that his finger
nails were nicely manicured as he took
from his smiling lips a fat cigar. Evi-
IDENTIFY the gentleman could AFFORD both
time and money for immaculate groom
ing.
1t is a fact also that most women
have time and money for 1t as well, but
they do not have the inclination.
The same woman who made the remark
anent the question was compiacentIy
munching chocolates from oox that
stood at her elbow. At her neck was a
frilly little bow that was already soiled
with one wearing. Her handkerchief
proclaimed that she purchased the most
expensive violet perfume, and her stock
tnss were seen TO be undeniably silk, al
though the slipper was somewhat run
down at the heel.
Good grooming Is not so expensive
that the busy woman OF moderate means
cannot be always In perfect trim, and
facial massage is Of more importance
than foolish lace rufles that will not
stand laundering. A dollar invested In q
shampoo Is OF Ave times the value OF q
dollar invested In chocolates. It Is as
necessary that a woman's nails be we'll
cared for as that she wear silk hose. II
q woman wishes to be we'll groomed shs
will md both time and money to do IL.
Remember. It shall not profit woman
much IL she marry q husband. provided
she prove the other woman's attractions
by neglect OF self.

PRIZE WINNERS IN LAST
WEEKS UNIQUE CONTEST

tion had eleven numbers correct
and came from Mrs. Edna r..
Rickets, 1884 Newton street north
west, Warrington, which entities
her to the first prize of s3.
The next most nearly correct list
had eight numbers correctly solved
and came from Miss NJ. Madigan,
1902 Nichols avenue southeast.
which gives Miss Madigan the Sec
ond prize of 81.
1t is not so easy to award the prizes
in the childrens class, owing to the fact
that many solutions last week which
gave every evidence of coming from the
Juvenile circle failed to give the age of
senders. and so had to be placed In the
adult class for consideration.
The most nearly correct list OF
advertisers coming from n boy or
girl who gave the age under fif-
teen was from Master Lester
Frazier, 27 Florida avenue north
east, for which he is awarded the
81 prize in the children's class.
Master Lester Frazier is fourteen years
old and submitted a solution that con-
tanned five correct answers
There were scores of lists received last
week that had not single number cor
rect, but this need make nobody feel dis
couraged, for no one was expected to
find a correct solution OF a puzzle IN
which there was such a broad element of
chance.

success of the also-rans in the new

To Set Stencil ColOrs.

Carrie C.-Stencil colors may be set V
pressing both sides of the stenciled ma
terial with warm iron.
A clean cloth should be laid over the
material before the iron is used and
the pressing should be done Immediately
after the material is stenciled.
When laundering stenciled materials, if
not sure that they are fast colors, allow
them to remain in a strong solution of
salt water for a short time before
laundering
The salt water sets the color, and is
a precaution well worth taking
