Don't Be a
Slave to Fear
By Eleanor Gilbert.

xxi AM told by one who has had
twenty years of association
with women in business that
on the whole they are admirable
workers, but never capable of con-
tinuous self-reliance. Sooner or
later they require help and will ap-
peal for 1t, abandoning all pre-
lenses.
"They will go to pieces suddenly,
relapsing without appreciate
cause"
So says a brilliant self-appointed
critic of women, hiding behind
anonymity, in a recently published
volume called women"
This author seems to believe that
women are not without good quail
ties for business. They are mot
inferior to business men in hon
esty and loyalty" he agrees. But
they cannot be depended upon in a
crisis. Their reaction in an emery
ency is emotional
Much of this eloquently writtel
matter is interesting though I'M
true. But there's enough of truth
in the first indictment to deserve
serious consideration on the part
of women who have aspirations to-
ward executive responsibility-the
charge that women are incapable OF
continuous seif-reliance.
Anyone who has observed women
in the face of generous opportunity
knows that to be so. Mind, there
are many exceptions. But there
Is this much to be said about diff
ferences between men and women
at work.
A man regards a higher job, more
responsibility, as a great oppor-
tunity to be sought eagerly, to be
grasped firmly when II is offered.
But too often a woman's response
to bigger responsibility is reluctant
and even negative. Don't you know
cases where women have absolutely
refused a bigger, better job on the
plea that they were afraid to I'M
dertake so much?
It's not a woman's incapacity
for bigger jobs that is to be criti-
cised. VIVA women should be
criticised for Is their fear-theIr
skepticism about their own powers.
The fact IS, that most women have
more ability than they utilize
a bigger capacity than they dare
exercise. And nobody knows why.
Even so-called commonplace wom-

efficiency when emergency de-
mands. How many war widows
there are who are self-supporting
for the first time in their lives
and successful at work, too.
The, war has proved to US that
women can do almost everything in
We way of work that a man can do.
Only tho jobs which mean excessive
and constant muscular effort should
be closed to women. AS far as re-
sponsibility is concerned, women
have proved that they can manage

a Menagerie Minus Water.

Investigations recently made on
the little-known Henderson OF
Elizabeth island have led to the
discovery Of a curious little colony
of geological total abstainers. The
island, which is uninhabited, is sit
uated about 120 miles northeast Of
Pitcairn island-itself sufficiently
out OF the way, but famous as the
home of the descendants of the
mutineers of the Bounty. There Is
no water on it, not even a swamp,
and It is only six miles long; yet
it harbors quite a menagerie-a
kind Of rat, a lizard, described as
very abundant, and no fewer than
four kinds of birds, all peculiar to
the island.

HAvID DELAINE surveyed him
self in the mirror above the
chiftonier in his ballroom. He
was forced to acknowledge that his
livery was becoming to him.
This conviction had been forced
upon him yesterday when he tried
on the outfit in the ftting-rooms Of
Stafford & Company. 1t was also
confirmed by the suave salesman.
''Mr. Leighton will have no cause
to be ashamed OF his chauffeur"
the man commented patronizingly.
Il may say frankly that we seldom
turn out a livery that Is as stylish
and altogether satisfactory on the
Wearer as this is. Mr.. Leighton
never spares expense. and in this
case your appearance makes it
worth while"
David muttered some reply. The
fellows tone of patronage annoyed
him-yet, what else could an ordi-
nary chauffeur expect? ''~-s-.A '~S.
That his employer spared no ex-
pense was true. 1t was evidenced
by the quality and cut Of the new
suit, the. good material Of the leg
gings, the weight of the fur-collar-
ed coat, the style of the hat What
q waste this all might have been
II Dayid's references had not been
ND to the required standard!
DeLaine appreciated with little
thrill that Samuel Leighton had
shown a fatterfng confidence in
him. Yet, after all, If he had not
proved satisfactory, his successor
could wear these same clothes with
some alterations.
But it was not easy in these days
TO have a strong, good-Iooking
young man. The service needed the
youth OF the land. Perhaps that
was why Mr.. Leighton seemed
anxious to retain his new employe.
David was not vain, yet he would
have been a fool had he not known
that hFs appearances was not IN
attractive.
An Interesting Adventure.
He frowned now at his reflection
IN his mirror, then, his sense Of
hnmor coming to the fore, he
laughed.
"I can surely AFFORD few months
ont OF a lifetime in pursuing an
Interesting adventure" he unused.
He did not let himself ponder on
where the adventure might lead.
Perhaps he would recover his
strength rapidly enough to re-en-
list and go back to France. This
was what he hoped form spite Of
the fact that the surgeons on the
other side had not encouraged this
hope.
"They may have been mistaken"
he told himself fiercely. 81 am sure
I will be well sooner than they
thought. II I cannot do what I
want in the world, might better

wish the bullet had got my heart
instead Of only a lung. But I'm

That was his watehword these
days. He had occasional reminders
that his wound had been more seri-

Yet the doctors had. told him that il

as the meal was over, leaned

smiled at Puss, who, after folding

owl who had rescued me from the

forest Feeling a bit hungry, I

heard a voice say. What is that?
A little mouse nibbling pieces from
my house?
And then all Of a sudden the
door opened, and saw a very ugly
witch. She was leaning on a
crutch. Her eyes were very black
and bright and her nose long and
crooked.

No sooner had I entered than I
knew she was a very wicked old
woman. A poor little child, whom
she called Gretel, was crying in a
corner Of the room.

THE LOVE GAMBLER ACs1sF S Story by
David Is Embarrassed by the Praise Bestowed Upon
Him by Nora and Doesn't Know Quite What to Do

As he strobe up Lexington ave-
nue., he was indeed good to look at.
The color OF his livery was becom-
ing to his fair skin and blue eyes.
He was very straight and broad
shouldered and had an air of dis
tlnction that made the beholder
marvel how a man OF that stamp
came to be chauffeur.
This marvel may have been in
the eyes of Noah, the parlor-matd,
when she answered the chauffeur's
ring at the front door at eleven
o'clock, but it was speedily replaced
by an expression Of admiration.
She had always wondered at the
aristocratic bearing of the new
man. She had never noticed before
how handsome he was. Perhaps,
she told herself, she had never had
a really good look at him until now.
Good morning, Smith" she
greeted him. dimpling into smiles
''Tll tell Miss leighton that you're
here. Excuse me,-but how nice
you look in your livery!"
DeLaine eyed her in astonish-
ment. This was the first time that
Norah had made a voluntary re-
mark to him. Until this instant it
had not occurred to him that she re-
garded him as one of her own class.
A change came over her. face as
she noticed his silence. He saw
this and realized his mistake in
time to check any expression Of
resentment on her part"
"Oh-ah-yes, thank you. Nor
all" he rejoined. do you know,

Il really did? And I did not know
just what you were talking about.
I did not realize that my. clothes
were receiving a compliment"
The girl grinned broadly. ''Ah-
quit your kiddin'T' she retorted,
''As il a good-looking young fell
low ever forgets the clothes he has
on! They're all so vain-men are
that it's a mistake to tell 'em
they look nice, but your new togs
quite took me by surprise. Cas-
sidy-the man as was here before
you-never looked real swell in his
livery. But he was a bit older
than you-and, not to make you
vain. 1 must say he hadn't the
style you have"
"Ah-yes-I see-I mean-thank
you" DeLaine stammered.
He was horribly embarrassed. He
found it much more difficult to
meet this girl on her own ground
as her equal than to play the part
Of An inferior to his employers.
Perhaps" he ventured now, try
ing not to show his discomfort, and
with a sincere desire not to hurt
Norah's feeliDgs-'It would be well
to tell Miss Leighton that the car
is here. She may be waiting for
