THE AMERICAN GIRL
Business Success.
By THOMAS TAPER.

n USINEsS is the act Of creating the
IA work that keeps one system
atically busy.
The two great words for the Ameri-
can business girl to hang up before
her are creation and system
These two words. creation and sys-
TEN. separate business from day labor
What do they mean?
Creation is bringing into existence a
new thing or condition II the thing
or condition is 50 practical and useful
that everybody demands 1t, a business
springs up. If the business thus pro
duced becomes successful, II IS De
cause system has been introduced
Thus creation and system may be
called the spirit OF business. and the
spirit OF business can be applied even
by the day labOrer-
For example,:
An artist found it more and more
difficult to buy tubes Of colors that
were exactly what he wanted he Ielt
sure that better paints could be made
than he could buy. He stopped painting
for a while and studied the chemistry
of paints. Then he began with the
purest ingredients and experimental
with them and with oils, until ne
found that just exactly the kind OF
colOrs an artist needs could be made II
any one would take pains IN making
them
He began to make them for his own
use: then for the use OF others; and.
finally. he had TO build a shop and
omen a store or two. The thing anG
the condition that he had created had
suddenly produce a business. He runs
this business so well that he knows
and can watch all its details. This is
system
The result is that the business is.
good and profitable. and worth while
Again, for example:
The person who discovered that
match IS safer and better that lights
only on the box created something
for which there was an immediate de-
mand. People saw at once its prac-
tica bility. The thing created led TO
business. And II the business IS we'll
run, IL IS because IT is run systema-
Can the American girl succeed in
business2
Lecturers and writer's are discussing
this question. Meanwhile. the Ameri-
can girl is quietly going forward and
succeeding. And when she does sue
coed. you viii find that she is con-
stantly putting creation and system in
to operation Without them she may be
as Industrious as q squirrel in a cage;

she is active. but she is certainly not
in business.
She must think clearly about her
work, and she must act directly. All
clear thinking tends 10 be creative,
and all direct action is systematic.
Do these habits or quantities destroy
the charm and attraction Of women
Well, If charm and attraction come
from a scrambled mind. from q sense
less way OF acting and speaking. in
stead Of q thoughtful and direct way,
then the answer is. yes. Otherwise
the noes have 1t, and It Is a vote.
A woman can be as truly business
like in running a house as q man can
be in running q manufacturing com
pany. The problems are different IN
size but the same in nature.
But II business destroys Womanly
charm and attraction, then let her be
content TO leave the house and its az
fairs to run themselves. In about two
days the lady next door viii notice this
and by and by the whole neighbOrhOOd
will be interested in it.
An American girl can succeed in bust
ness to her hearts content, or rather
to her heads content; for 1t is the head
she must use for the smallest detail OF
her work, to the broadest plans she
wants TO carry out
Is there any one present who thinks
the American girl cannot do these
things?
II so. he is not aware OF what the
American girl has done and is doing.
