just To Herself
THAT is because am just! Just
to myself. which is the highest form
of justice. There is no justice in
thatfoolish sentiment which prompts
some women to sacrifice themselves.
Once sacrificed. what are they?
Slaves or miserables? It is weak

that grand passion, but first | must

Aimed Straight at Money
Il made straight mark and at
the end of it | put money, and said
to myself. Il will never, never step
aside from that mark" and never
have. Everything do has been
with that one thing III view money.
| move straight ahead to my goal,
to my fortune. Other women waste
time in going zig-a gag: in circle;
they never reach their goal.
i am earning many, many thou
sands of dollars. but. oh! have to
spend money. | do this as an in
vestment. My gowns, many Of my
jewels. my splendid mansion in Paris
are all investments.
Money the Only Thing
When youth passes, when beauty
goes. money is the only thing that
helps a woman against the world.
Money is greater protection
than guardians, greater than an
army.
Men do not ask Of money what
they demand Of poverty!
The rich woman has a, natural
barrier between herself and 1.-THE
world!
Men pay more respect to my
pearls than to my beauty or nv
talentI
Men Call Her Magnetic
Men say | am beautiful. | am
magnetic. 1t may be true. If it is.
then let me make the most of it.
These are things of worth. If
give men the pleasures of them, men
must pay for them. Beauty goes
i magnetism fails Money alone re.
mains, if you are careful.
Men expect me to give them my
time for nothing. They expect me
to sup with them. to dine with them.
My time is money. Any man who
has hundred, two hundred dollars
in his pocket thinks he can invite me
to supper! Peef! | laugh. IF
want supper can buy it for myself
! refuse. They sneer and say" The
little miser! The mercenaryl'
Poor Opinion of Men
There are few men whose com
pany could compensate me for my
loss of time!
L am reminded! Before | lef
Paris, two New York men came t.
the Capucines. They sent Their
cards and a letter. of introduction
behind the scenes to me. They ask
ed me to have supper with them.
Wanted $4,000 Francs For He,
Time
Il sent them reply that / would
be delighted to sup with them 70
fifteen thousand francs the wortl
of my time! They did not reply
See! They would not pay for thei
pleasure!
They would have sat proudI
while friends pointed them out say
, ing: Such men Of the world! Sc
they sup with Gaby Of the Lilies!'
When they returned to Americ
they would have boosted, I'VE too
Gabys of the Lilies to supl' The
would have gained honor, prestige
And they would not pay for it. Sue
is not for Gaby Of the Lilies!
The World Must Pay
Il am too proud to give up one 9
my advantages, one of my luxuries
The world, which places women O
the defensive, which makes life BIZ
ter for women, must be made to pa
pay, payl And so / pass aside low
and pretty sentiment and max
/ money my goal. And so keep all
