Convenience means much to the business man. Br P. W. CHI LOT. I'erhaps there are not very many, even In France, who hava noticed the Ii portant part woman has played lit France during the last lorty years. We havo been too murh taken up with our vain aKltiitlons, our sterile quarrels, to pay any attention to the Immense work done by our women towards the moral recon struction of our beloved country. Nothing, however, has Ix-en more effect ive to oion our eyes for ths work of our women than the exceedingly grave crisis we have Just passed. Everywhere we are now told that the whole people during this crisis behaved In the most admirable manner. .Our patriotism In face of the Imminent national danger waa Indeed admirable, but If this Is so It Is because behind the men who were tearing down were our women who were Just aa busy building up. They built the French city on heights so lofty that the fratricidal clamors ot the day did not rach them on heights where nobody listened to the Irresponsible agitators or the Intolerable sophists. With eager hands our women built the Immense city which would receive In time of danger with open arms the whole great French family. If we were able to write during last July that the youth of France had tri umphantly destroyed the bastlle of scepticism and tear, the honor Is due soieiy 10 me women 01 rTsnce. it was the woman of France who strengthened Its arms and steeled Its heart, for love of country begins In the family and the future of the children Is the work of the mothers, as the great Napoleon aaid. Woman carries in her frail arms the character of the people, tho destinies ot the nation.. Tb.e present generation which la eo strong now and which promises so well for the future, we owe to our moth ers, our sisters and our daughters. The woman of France Is fully conscious of the duty which the nation Imposes en her, to nourish the flame and spirit ot patriotism In the bosom of her children. No obligation could be more honorable than this, and every woman of Prance will realise the extent of her power and the measure of gratitude when she reads these words which Abbe Wetterle said about the woman of Alaaoe: "She Is the principal obstacle In the way of 0rmanlsation, which has failed utterly because ot her. Ouardlan of the faith, the customs and the language of the country, she maintains all the old traditions. She places) on the brows of those who surround her the national Imprint, an Imprint formed by all the lessons of the past, ot all the Joys and sorrows and sufferings - ot those who before' her have worked and suffered for our generous soil." The youth ot Alsace bear witness of this today. Are we not united in the same cause on both sldea of the frontier? lo we not all love France with the same fervor T "On no conditions accept your pardon'," aid Wetterle's old mother to him when he was In prison. "Children, leave the body of your dead father and look after the light In the lighthouse." said lime. ' Metetot to her two boy a These two worn em. with their enerry and strength ef character, are typical of the women of Alsace and France, and while the sou of Alsace and France produces uimtt women, we may calmly face the future.

Conferenclcrs are even - now traveling all over the world chastising those who have libelled her. but better than thla, the women of France are going to conduct their own defense. The In fluence of "Ut Conaeil National des Femmes FrancsJse-' has already made Itself widely felt. Its contact with simi lar groups In foreign countries has been a revelation to many ot these. By their eloquence and brilliancy of speech, by their knowledge of social question and y their aat tonal propogaoda the dele gatus) ef thla eounoU have made the world -discover an absolutely novel Frenchwoman. In every respect ehe deserve our ad miration; rich or poor, simple minded or well educated, she loves France and this love lnerrably points out her duty to her.

If we succeed in promoting your comfort, add ing to your convenience, helping in your prosperity be sure we will be glad of it. For ourselves, we hope to win success in our particular business in exchange for the kind of effort that deserves success. Perhaps you never considered that a public util-" ity company that is anxious to increase its business MUST try hard to please its customers. The more energetically a company works for new business, the more painstaking must be the ef fort to render good service. It is human to fall short of the goal set by ambi tion; it is disheartening to fail occasionally when we want to please the most. In the long run, however, conscientious effort wins its own reward and honest recognition. "We can assure you that we shall do our best o earn your good opinion in the year we are just be ginning.
