The business girl knows men as they are—full of nobility and meanness: of generosity and stingin of egotism and altruism, and so she is prepared to deal with her husband as a human being, instead of expecting him to be a demi-god. He can’t put anything over on her, because she is wise to all of the tricks of his sex; but, on the other hand, she is never the grinding tyrant that the domestic woman is, because she knows from experience that after you have toiled all day in an office or a store you are worn out in body and mind and need recreation and peace and quiet. Therefore, the business girl, when she marries, doesn’'t expect her husband to put down carpets or hang curtains at home, nor does she meet him at the front door with a Jeremiahed account of her own troubles, and before he has time to get off his hat tell him a dozen unpleasant pleces of news. She remembers how tired she used to he when she evening, and how she felt that just one word of nagging more thing to do would be the straw that broke the camel's back. There is nothing like having been thers vourself to make us appreciate the other fellow's troubles, and there is no doubt that the business woman makes a more sympathetic and understan wife than the purely domestic girl does. came home of an USINESS is a Spartan school that teaches a girl elf-control. The first requisite of holding down a job is to hold down your temper. tears, senkitiveness don't get a girl anywhere in commercial life, and so she learns to bite back the tart retort when she is angry weeps, and not to leave her previous feelings strewn all over the place for people to step on. Any girl who has taken dictation from an irritable and grouchy hoss, or got along with a dyspeptic head of a department, has taken a post-graduate | course in how to manage men witheut friction and can make her husband eat out of her hand and enjoy it. The business girl ix mora reasonable about money than the 8omestic woman. No woman who has ever earned her own living ever looks at a dollar with the same eye as the woman doss who has always had her money given The one sees the money only as a means of gratifying her desires. The other sees it wet with blood and sweat and toil and tears The domestic woman cannot see why she must deny herself a new car because her husband wants the money to go into tha business, but the business woman understands. She is willing to make the sacrifice, knowing that the rewards will come back to her tenfold. Furthermore, she is never jealous, as most domestic women are, of her husband’s business or profession. She doesn’t speak of his “horrid old office.” | She thinks of his office as of a battlefield on which he fights a never-ending battle 1o keep her and her children safe and warm. ‘HE business woman makes & wife with whom a man can chum, becauss she knows the things that he knows, and can talk intelligently about them. After all, tha chief topic of interest to most men is the shop. That ix what they talk about to other men: but when a man tries his line of conversation on his wife she generally doesn’t know what he is talking about, and she is so bored she yawns in his face.

He has found his soulmate. OFf course, it is true that the business girl generally knows very littls about cooking or housework. but any woman who can learn how to be a first-class bookkeeper or a crackerjack stenographer can learn how to be a blue-ribbon cook in three months. And she generally does, because she has been trained in afficlency and acenracy, and she does things by the book after the most approved scientific manner, instead of hit or miss.

Before Eoing in too heavily Tor drugs, lotions and such things, I be- lieve in letting Nature have a chance to work the cure herself. I don't mean in the case of regular diseases, but only when its a chronic, minor trouble such a muddy skin, dull eyes, or something like that. Many cases of indigestion, consti- pation, sluggish liver, etcetera, are cured by drinking water, for instance. By flushing out the whole system, washing_out poisons, this gives the various eliminative and digestivey or- s a chance to work. A good way to drink six glasses of water a day, alll of them hot, 4f you find it easier ta get plain water down that way. Im amy case, the first two of them sheuld be hot, for these will put the stoymach in good condition to begin its day's work eof digesting break- fasth Drink one glass of hot water as gestion at night and making you xlesp better. It you loathe the taste of hot water, as some people do, put a little salt in it, it will be greatly improved. And don't skimp the amount, you should drink full glasses, $ix each day. Make water-drinking a habit. It will do wonders in clearing away blotches under the skin and those blind pimples that never come to the surface, but that show something is going wrong inside, It will make the eves brighter and the whites of the eves clearer, too, for a torpid liver often gives a yellow tinge to the eyes, and makes them dull. It's a good habit to have, this water- arinking one. Mrs. M.—Your tonlc may not be at fault because vour hair continues to fall.
