Decision.

However many paths are offered,
we can take but one. But when we
decide upon course it is folly to al
low the mind to wander continually
along the others, speculating concern
ing their possible advantages, and
wondering whether, after all, some
other way might not have been better.
The real road grows more difficult by
permitting fancy to paint the others
as MISUNDERSTANDING.

Story Of Ardmore Women Who Are Battling the Business World

Can woman build Wannamaker store?
Has the business woman a broad vision? viii she
take chance? Or is she home loving creature, Is her
place about the firesde with children to love and
husband prepare meals for and is her horizon limited
to her home and her children and few social friends?
visit with the women who conducting busi
enterprises in Ardmore reveals many interesting
features. Their words reveal the heart and the
thought is today but not necessarily what
it will be tomorrow.
The woman in business looks after the little things
she is economical, she greves over the spending OF
dollar than she rejoces over seeing roll across
her counter and into her cash till.
The woman in business is held down, by fear Of
failure Fear of criticism keeps her from throwing lmi
tations aside and marching toward the establishment
of bigger business There is quiet little dream deep
down in her bosom that some day she will not be in
business, that she will not have to count the cost that
she Will have some one to for her and that her tai
ent and skill will be used to make others happy That
she will cheer some else to rather than to
have to travel that road to herself.
These women Womenly women They love flow
ers and birds and laughter and childhood and they have
not built up in their vision the ownership of mammoth
business institution of which they shall be the queen.
Ihey would rather stand on the opposite side of the
counter and buy pretty things to themselves than
to sell to others to make them happy
But it has not been long since there colleges
established for women it has been but yesterday since
her citizenship was conferred upon her and the franchise
placed in her hand. 1t is even now that a woman in
business must about accepting a dinner invita-
ton from man who is selling her bill of goods
These conyentonates these customs repres they keep
woman from allowing their real selves to come to the
front and be felt with power and force in the business
world
Woman studies man. but she has never studied
woman Her sister passes by unknown There is little
of fellowship among women and there is need of dinner
clubs among them, there is need of sympathy among
them there is need of comradeshp and fellowship and
there is need OF more trust and less criticism
The women who in business now are pioneers
they are blazing path through wilderness that will
lead others to build greater institutions back of them
Inc beginning may be small there is silent suffering on
the part of these pioneers just as there was among the
49ers who crossed the plains westward that civilization
mary follow in their wake
Here are a few words from the women who ara in
business in Ardmore:

MRS. LUELLA ROBINSON, OF THE FRAYNE

MRS. LUELLA ROBINSON is one of
ltA the bright. cheerful, hopeful bust.
mes women of the city. She has many
good friends here where she has re-
sided many years and where she rails
cd her daughter who was a part Of
the young life of the city
Mrs. Robinson held clerkship with
Madden and also with Ditzler in this
city and Sykes of Muskogee. From a
clerkship she has embarked IN busi.
ness for herself and is proprietor OF
the Frayne on West Main street.
IL like business better than clerk
ing" said Mrs. Robinson. II am not
afraid OF responsibility. | like TO study
The individual tastes of women. ! like
to fix things for them. | like to be free
in my work without having Il man
ager direct my activities"
Mrs. Robinson borrowed the money
to take her interest in the business.
She has earned and paid back the
money but she says she has no more
money to spend than when she was a
clerk She has always saved part OF
her earnings and she saves now as a
woman in business. Her earnings go
back into the store to build 1t bigger
and as far as real money IS concerned
she has no more to call her own than
when she was a clerk.

"One Of the big things that has come
to me in business. said Mrs Robinson,
lis self.reliance. | came trembling into
this store, so filled was / with
fear of failure. But fear has been
dlspelled. | would not be afraid to
take charge Of a much bigger business
and am also OF the opinion that
self confidence Is the business wo.
mans biggest asset.
Not many women have broad
vision" said Mrs. Robinson. They
give heed to the little things, q flam.
ing advertisement in the paper scares
them, they think Of the cost and not
the results, they pinch down too tight
TO grow into big business folks-but
you remember women have not had
a chance She win make good when
she is experienced. If you think wo.
men cannot achieve big things read
The American Magazine | like TO
read that magazine for Inspiration
The time will come when women will
DO big things in business, but they
must have time to widen their horizon
Of thought they must perceive The
big things as they do the little ones
now.
THE one big point to win is self
confidence and when YOU have won
that you can manage business"

Mrs. Davis makes purchases Of
flowers from local florists and she also
makes orders from florists in larger

best and there are times when custo-

MISS DATsTE GRAY, OWNER MILLINERY SHOP

ltNo GIRL engages in business from
~ her own choice. 1t is always from
necessity" said Miss Daise Gray, who
FOR the past 10 years has conducted
millinery store with Henry Baum
in this city.
Miss Gray began to- prepare FOR
business career 10y entering a millinery
store in Chicago as an apprentice.
She worked two seasons without re.
ceiving so much as q dollar for her
work. One season she worked every
day for wage Of 81 a week and>the
next season she was advanced TO S,
4 week From Chicago she went 10
ST. Louis where for two years she
was 4 trimmer in the millinery de-
partment for the May Company, which
afterwards became the Famous Barr.
While in ST. Louis she conceived the
idea that she wanted 10 come to Okla.
homa and incidentally met Mrs. T. Y.

business in Ardmore and came here
to remain three months. That was l6
years ago. Miss Gray IS still here. AT.
ter working for Mrs. Morgan. for
time she made q deal for the fur-
chase Of the stock. With so she hao
saved and with a loan of $3.50 from
her sister she put her bark upon the
sea Of business. She could get all the
credit she wanted and had a big stock
with very little capital.

said Mrs. Gray. Perseverance has
been my secret. II there Is such q
