I chance in the business world and q
mans pay. and they don't want TO
be treated like a man. They want you
to always remember that they are
ladies instead OF Just eogs in a big
machine for grinding out dollars,
which is all that any business is.
One Of the chief reasons that wo-
men so seldom rise to high places
In business houses is not their lack
OF ability, but because they have not
enough sporting blood to stand the
punishment by which a younger man
gets mauled into the shape in which
he is most useful By that / mean
that when ! get hold Of a promising
boy, 60 after him with sledge ham
mer when he makes mistakes or
shows symptoms of slackness, and II
there Is any stamina In him he doesn't
suIk, but learns how to do his work
efficiently, and eventually is worth
good money to himself and the firm.
But when tell my stenographer
that she is bailing up business by
coming to her work an hour late, or
that / prefer the spelling Of the late
Noah Webster to her peculiar per-
sonal variety, or that It doesn't add
TO the credit OF a business house to
send out smeary and untidy letters,
why she bursts into tears and soos
out that don't treat poor work
ing girl as IL she was lady.
Its easier on the nerves to fire
an incompetent girl than to stand for
her wounded feelings while you are
trying to teach her, and that's where
the young business woman loses out,
through not having the sporting spirit
--one OF the most valuable assets
that her brother has. .,. 4
And IT'S women's lack Of gameness
that's at the bottom Of half Of the
domestic misery in. the world. Sta
tistics show that more than three
fourths of the divorces are asked for
by women. This is not because men
make so much worse husbands than
women make wives, but because the
average man is q pretty good loser,
and the average woman Is bad loser.
There are just as many men who
have made fatal mistakes In their
choice Of life partner as there are
women. There are Just as many men
to women who do not under
stand them, women who make their
lives unbearable by temper or nag
ging, women who are lazy and shift
less and extrayagant as there are
women married to men who are
brufes, but the man generally shuts
his teeth on his misery and bears It,
while the woman tells her troubles
10 all who win listen or goes with
them to the divorce court.

I And look at the way women plunge
in matrimony, and the way they bach
out Of their bargains when they gel
just exactly what was coming to them
There are the women who fall In
love with poor men and who marry
them knowing perfectly we'll how lit
tie the men earn. But is such a wo
man game enough to accept her man
on the plane on which she married
him and go cheerfully to work to dc
her own cooking and Homework and
be perfectly happy though wearing a
last years suit and riding in the street
cars?
mot once in q blue moon. She
frets and fumes because she can't
have Paris gowns and motor cars like
her rich acquaintance have and nags
the poor fellow because he don't
know how to make money, which is
paying the matrimonial game pretty
low down, in my opinion.
Consider also the women who de-
liberately pick out drunkards for hus-
bands and then consider themselves
poor prosecuted martyrs when their
spouses come home intoxicated. II
I were a woman who married a man
who 1 knew drank, I'd be sport
enough never to say word to him
In reproach, and I'd spend my time
applying wet cloths to his fevered
brow and mixing him bromo settlers.
"And there are the women who are
married to good, ordinary fellows, the
sort of men who are working like
slaves, trying to do the very best that
is in them for their families, but who
have all the heart and courage in
them taken out by the ceaseless COM
plants and whines Of their wives over
the hardships of their lives. These
women could change their husbands
from failure to success, and their
homes from places Of torment and
gloom to sunshine and happiness If
they only had enough spirit to buck
up and take fighting chance at life.
"Of course there are exceptions to
all rules. There are many women who
take their chance and lose and pay;
women who marry worthless black
guards and stand by them to- the bit
ter end without q complaint ever
crossing their lips.
And when you find a. woman like
this with sporting blood in her veins,
you have found the superwoman."
