Better Tell Him All


To the Editor Of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam am engaged 10 man for
whom l have had the greatest esteem, and
as ] thought. love, for two years. We eh-
pected 10 be married in the late fall but
He did not know l was engaged and he
came To me several times. Now.
have had a letter from him telling me OF mis-
love and ] am terribly upset. for l fnd
love this man better than the one TO whom
| am engaged. What shall ! do? II is un-
thinkable to break II of, when know the
first one loves me dearly and have given
him my word. and yet ] love the other one
Infinitely more. HEARTBROKES.
1t is too bad you did not let the secono
young man know that YOU were engaged
TO the other. You have given your word
to the first. but, my dear, you had better
tell him what has happened. Tell him
you feel that you love another better
but will keep your word with him If he
wishes to hold you to IL. He would
probably far rather know of your feel
ings than find them out by your indif-
ference and coldness later in life.

out keeping track OF what she does
with her money and what she Is going
to do with 1t. OF course, she could
dash away seven dollars and then say,
I'll make the rest do" But there's the
rub. The rest won't do unless YOU
plan what you're going to spend; un.
less YOU figure up the expenses of the
week. unless when you go shy you
find out the item you spent too much
money on. That's the way a business
is run. IF too much money Is spent in
one department the budget Is sliced
there. That is the only way.
THE business woman as the careless
l. custodian OF her own money never
stands in a worse light than when
ranged alongside her brother-man who,
often on the same salary portioned out
to her. is raising family. And right
here | think can be found the secret
of why women do not save. They seem
to have no particular incentive. Very
often the business girl first sets out
to work to make extra pocket money.
She never quite gets over the idea that
she is making pocket money no mat
ter how big the paw envelope grows.
Man does not go into the business
world with that idea. II is up to him
eventually to found a family and to
provide for that family.
1t comes back TO the old saw.
Women have learned to lean on men.
Not all but nearly all have high hopes
of being eventually carried off to
home provided with some one else's
earnings. Perhaps war will change
this. Perhaps now that women have
taken the middle of the road the very
love of the game will instill In them
the ambition to become substantial
members of the community.
Eleanor Gilbert. author Of The
Ambitious Woman in Business" tells
us the efficient business woman should
have in her possession by the time she
is thirty:
First. A piece OF land on which she
can build: or her house paid for In
full. or in part.
Second An endowment insurance
policy to safeguard her old age.
Third A small bank account from
which she can draw ready cash In case
OF need. 80,
