Three Drawbacks to Success
Pointed Out by Business Woman
Effect of Business
Career on Woman

True, the business woman is
coarsened, and made less fine
than when she was sheltered
in her own home, outwardly,
but not inwardly. 1t is a
question whether or not she
does not benefit by that loss.
She obtains in exchange for
that a deepened sense Of
values, a broadened outlook
upon life, and, if her. philoso-
ply has been any good at all,
she is improved by the ex-
change, and made a positive,
public agent for good.
Those who shrink too much
are those who cannot lose
some of that Rneness, and
are the ones who do not sue
ceed, are the ones who are
weak and whose scheme of
life will not endure a build
ing and broadening process"

A Dangerous Law.

~ OES a woman who Is intem-
perate at home do more
harm than a man who be-
comes drunk and disorderly
IN the streets? Sociology would prob
ably try to prove that she does. The
law bears hard upon her.
Last May a man IN this city took
his wife before a magistrate and.
with only a stenographer present.
swore she had the drinking habit.
The wife was not required to plead
to any charge, was not informed of
her right to communicate with rela-
tives or friends and had no lawyer
to protect her. Her husband was the
only witness against her. Neverthe-
less the magistrate committed her
to a reformatory for a period Of
three years.
That such thing could be done will
surprise most people. Supreme Court
Justice Shearn. who has just order
ed the woman's release. while he
comments severely on the procedure
BY which she was shut up. disclaims
all intention Of suggesting that the
motives of the magistrate were not
of the highest.
In this case they may have been.
"A law. however. under which
woman may be summarily locked

- Self pity.
Unwillingness to give time
to learning the Job.
These are three Of the drawbacks
which bar women from success in
business, according to Mrs. Hami-
ton Adams. one Of the most sue
cessful business women in this city.
And because Of these three faults
woman cannot put into effect the
rule Of observation and application
which has been the moving force
behind Mrs. Adams success.
Women who are left to shift for
themselves are almost invariably
afraid Of ridicule. Of what people
will say about them," said Mrs.

ing about 1t. had either the choice
or selling II cut at q sacrifice or
OF keeping 1t going myself and
getting an income out of it.
Cope With People.
THE first sensation I had was one
OF failure. So l found out at once
that those we're the two things
which had to be conquered. The
success or failure OF a woman in
business depends not SO much upon
her good or bad luck. or upon her
finances. as 1t does upon her ability
to meet people and cope with them.
She must be keen judge of the
relationship between herself and her
dealers. herself and her employees,
and herself and her public. She
should be able to discern whether
or not her workers met the public
in the proper spirit. and should
never relax her observation.
Indeed this power of observation.
with the ability to apply those obser-
vations to practical account, is to my
humble way Of thinking. the best
virture of all. Through observation
she can overcome her three great
drawbacks.
The fear Of ridicule is the first
thing to outgrow. Common sense
should take its place. Naturally the
child Of ridicule Is self pity, and woe
betide the woman who pIties herself
or who spends too much OF her time
mourning. In the first place. she
uses up very valuable opportunities
for observation. and in the second.
she weakens her own nature, and
dilutes that quality which she must
have above all things. self suffi-
cheney
This sounds perhaps rather alb
stract, but can give concrete ex-
amples of just what mean. I
will take my own case. II l had let
the fear Of what my trends. and
competitors would say about me.
overcome me, there would be no
business here today.
Learn From Everything.
THE fact that l had never been q
business woman made no difference
to me at all. I made up my mind
that no matter how little l knew
would give the whole situation
a fair trial.

The man may feel only friendly
toward the other girl and not divide
his affection for you with her. as
you suspect. There Ia such a thing
as a girl and a man being good
friends without actually being in
love with each other. The fact that
he has known her so long and is not
engaged to her seems to be a proof
of this.
There Is no more beautiful friend
ship than that of a man and a wom-
an, and there Is no condition rarer,
because most women regard the men
they know as possible suitors and
refuse to accept them on the same
footing that they do the women of
their acquaintance.
