Fitting Yourself to Succeed

As n consequence this woman, who
possessed physical charms and
bright. sparkling mind. married sew
eral men, allowed them TO divorce her
when she wearied of them, and left
various children in various orphan
asylums TO be cared for during her
periods of roaming about the earth

ment" She wrote and delivered ad-
dresses when she was not marrying or
unmarrying herself. Just what she
has achieved in the way of develop
ment of her character or for the ad-
vancement of the race in general is
difficult to state.
Theories such as she held many
women hold to-day, though they may
not so fully Illustrate them. But they
are mistaken theories. theories which
mean degeneration instead OF develop
ment and misfortune instead of
benefit.
The young women engaged in any
business which brings them liveli

affairs of their employers are all tine

OF developing along the lines of least
resistance. They are pursuing their
Vocations only TO pass the time until
some larger opportunity presents itself.
II never occurs to them that the
larger opportunity will call for larger
capabilities on their part. They have
no respect for or belief in the old
ideas of patient industry and slow de
velopment, but those ideas are the
right and the true ones. Character

There is a great deal of this kind of
;slk being heard to-day in America

who made the address is said to be an
excellent wife and mother but ii is
doubtful if her words would prove
anything of an incentive for other
women to excel in those fields.
