WOMEN AND BUSINESS.
OMEN might ns well be frank
with thouiKolvea on one point
they cannot maku tlio success
In business Unit their huslMiids , fath
ers and brothers do. There Is only ono
Hetty Green , and uhe can hardly be
ranked with thu CnruOBlus , Hoekefull-
era mid Morgans of the great world of
affairs. It Is nil very well to allude to
the superior physical strength that en
ables men to nndurlake tasks which
women are constitutionally Incapable
of fnllilllnj , ' . But the truth seems to be
that women are not fitted for success
along the same Hues that men are , and
It Is a waste of time for them to aspire
In that direction. There is a constantly
growing agitation which alms to im
press women with the necessity of
being Independent and self-supporting.
Of course there Is , 1111 fortunately , al
ways a large number of women AVlio
have to earn their bread. But they
should be pitied , rather tluui held up
for thu admiration and imitation of the
remainder of the sex. An impression
seams to be abroad that girls .should
not remain under the protection of the
family roof any longer than their
brothers ; that they are under the mas
culine. , necessity of getting out and
seeking their fortunes In the great
world , at about the same age.
One feminine characteristic which
stands in the way of women's success
In business Is her inability to judge
things in an Impartial and impersonal
tort of way. Tills IB ono of the things
that a man learns at thu very outset
of his career. But the average work-
ng woman considers every man she
neets In the course of the otlicc rou-
ine from the point of his possible like
r dislike for hornelf. And , moreover ,
ho little courtesies which men pay to
rvomen yes , even to business women-
are too often construed as evidences of
icrsoiml liking. It se ms almost beyond
he range of women's intellect to eon-
elve of a state of things In which her
business associates are absolutely neu
ral with regard to her personality ,
lelther like nor dislike her , but regard
icr simply as one of the necesbary fea
nres of the establishment.
There Is , also , another point which Is
worth while mentioning In tills conuee-
ion. Woman lias her distinct field , as
las often been said , and that Held is
the home. But did It ever occur to a
voman how much training she requires
before she is competent to administer
i household ? If she devotes herself
diligently to the acquisition of what
she ought to know in order to manage
even a very simple home , she has little
liuie left to engage in the occupations
which ought to lie left to men. Think
of the large number of young girls who
know how to do stenography , typewrit
ing , keep books and preside at the cash
register ! Then think how few there
are who have any knowledge of the
nutritive values of the different cuts
of beef , or how to repair a man's ward
robe or drive a nail , or to come down
to something which implies a still
greater deficiency to keep an account
book of thu daily domestic expendi
tures ? When women know these things
It Is time enough for her , unless driven
by stern necessity , to think of going

Practice Thin lIcFon ; Vmtr Mirror.
The mirror Is a woman's best friend ,
one whom him does not consult one
tenth part as often as Mie should. If
yhe used I lie full privilege * of friend
ship , there would be no crooked plaits
at the back of skirts , no separation be
tween skirts and waist * . I am quite
sure that If the average woman could
kor exactly how she looks when holding
up her dress skirt hhe would refuse to
leave the house until she had dlscor
ered some more graceful fashion of
keeping her draperies from the dirt of
the street. A little practice with that
untliitterlng friend , the mirror , to as-
slut her efforts would do wonders for a

ed for ordinary street wear. Stiff trim
mings , bows , quills , bunches of flowers

now In vogue , but are trying to the gen
erality of women.
The Co'liirlcHn Gown.
The new fashion of wearing gowns
without collars aiul finished by flat
trimming or down drooping rullle of
lace is delightfully comfortable , but has
Its disadvantages. The high collars , so
long worn , have destroyed the contour
of many a throat originally round and
white. Consequently the women who
have not nrett.v throats are earnestly
seeking | for them , especially as they
know that by next winter there will
be no escape from the fashion that will
then be fully established.
In the llrst place , the woman who
wants to adopt the collarless gown "on
occasions" must realize the necessity
for going into training immediately.
Let there be no dallying with the temp
tation to continue the stiff , high collar
for ordinary wear. The linen collars
must be got rid of , absolutely , and the
only high neckwear admitted to the
wardrobe shall be either the unstarched
pique or duck stock , or the finely wired
transparent collar , not really tight. A
plan adopted by a young woman /who
averred that her throat was "a sight I"
yet wished to give it the fullest benefit
of freedom , was to have all her bodkvs
aud shirt \vaUU neatly bound and
edged with upstanding narrow lace.
Tills has the advantage of being a taste
ful and dainty llulsh in Itself , yet allow
ing her to don a ribbon or stock at a
moment's notice.
Origin of I'iii .Honey.
"Pin money" now means an allow
ance of money for a woman's own per
sonal expenditure , hut originally It
meant literally the actiml'sutn spent on
pins. It Is almost impossible to think
of any stage in the history of woman
kind when the pin was not one of the
mainstays of her existence , but until
about the end of the seventeenth cen
tury an article , more resembling a
Wooden skewer than anything elhe , |
was all that could be obtained. After j
that time the modern pin was Invented , j
but the maker was allowed to sell them
openly only on Jan. 1 and - , so that
courtladlcsandfaslirxmablc dames alike
'
were obliged 'to buy a large store on
those days. So extremely Important
was this yearly purchase that , appar
ently , a special sum of money was ob
tained from all Indulgent husbands for
It ; and at a later time , when the pins
became cheap and common , woman
kind gradually cume to pcnd their al
lowance for other purposes.

Our Constantinople correspondent
writes : "It Is not generally known
that there exists among Turkish ladlei
of high class a kind of caste feeling
similar to" that prevailing among tin
Hindoos. It takes the form of a feat
of contamination from the outer world ,
and is only observed , as far as 1 know ,
by those who cannot afford to Icoof
servants in sutlicleiit numbers. Before
meals ladies always wash their hamh
at a tap from which the water rum
Into a marble basin. They will turn
on the tap wheu they are Just going
to wash , but when they have finished
they let the water run till somebody
shuts it off , as lo do It themselvei
would make them unclean. They can
not open or shut a door , as the handii
would be unulean , so a slave Is geir
