One's Owi Business. "One of my dally prayers," said a woman friend not long ago, "la, "Please, dear Lord, help me to mind my own busi ness." " That ia a clause that many of us might insert In our prayers, for minding one's ewn business Is an extremely hard thing to do, writes Beatrice Fairfax In the St. Louis Times. The reason for this Is that your neigh. the harmony was that each one abolatey minded her own business. They loved ech other and were alwayg interested In ch other's welfare, but no questions were asked. If one stayed out for dinner the other two nevsr said, "Where have you beent" but waited to be told; and rf the Information were not forth coming, that was all there was to It. They were not angels, these three, but Just everyday women; and this state of serenity was only arrived at after much debate end several feminine "fusses." Wnether In business or social circles, try every day to mind your own business. It Is much harder for a woman to mind her own business than for a man, for the reason that man'a mind Is filled with larger problems and he has little time to spend In speculation as to his neighbor's concerns. But Mrs. Jones, no matter how busy, can always find time to devote to Mrs. Smith's shortcomings, and to offer much gratuitous advice. It might be a good plan to write out and pin over your looking glass the words, "Help me today to mind my own business." garement and marriage, with parties and dinners given In their honor.

One of the chief difficulties In a woman's undertaking an expedition of this nature, writes Annie S. Peck lu Har per' magazine, is that whatever her ex perlence, every man believes that be knows better what Bhould be done than you take a hand in it Just remember one thing, and that is, naver give your advice until it 1 asked for. All people ask advloe, and very few take It; so make up your mind before you give It that It probably will not be acted upon, and don't take offence. Especially don't advise your women friend regarding their clothes, for every woman haa hsr own Ideas as to what suits her, and It only Irritates har when you advise her to the contrary. Never ask a friend 'where she has been must be asked along for chaperon. A clever Frenchman knows It Is far more Important to court the mother than the daughter. But oourtlng plays a minor part In the marrying of a French girl. After a girl has spent two or three seasons In society the parctns look around for a suitable man for their daughter. In making a choice many things are considered, though with some parents wealth Is given preference to family. Generally the daughter's opinion carries little weight; she Is expected to abide by the better Judgment of her par ents.
