Now, is it better to depend upon an ageing father for support, or support one‘s self. Is it better to look to a broâ€" ther, to take the home offered by an uncle. to be one of a cousin‘s family, or to be independent ? ¢ There must, of necessity, then, be women who earn money. There are two types of themâ€"the one who digniâ€" fies the work, no matter what it be, who is not ashamed that it is her own ‘hand that places her own dollar in her «own purse ; and that other one who is bitterly ashamed at having to work for that vulgar necessity called money, which, she declares, everyone should, of â€"course, have in the bank. She doesn‘t call it money. _ It is denominated "reâ€" muneration," "recompence," "value for services," anything except wages, plain salary or comprehensive "money." Dickâ€" ens had seen this "ady." He fitted her up for Little Doritt. She chaperâ€" oned old Dorrit‘s girls over the continâ€" ‘ent and called her salary an "amount paid of quarterly intervals to my creâ€" «dit at my banker‘s." If a woman honestâ€" ly earns money she should not be ashamed to take it. It is hers, and she should be proud to write a receipt. But whether a woman belongs to one class or another, she is yet a better â€"spender than the one who has never .gained money for herself in a fair fight with the world. A dollar earned ameant more than a hundred cents to ‘spend. It means something added to the characterâ€"something which yet wemains when the money has gone for bread or bonâ€"bons, shoes or violets. The wearning of it is a great deal. I honor the woman who can care for her own livelihood. Tt may be that she peddles applesâ€"well, if she didn‘t steal them first, and if she doesn‘t pass them out decayed side down, she is yet a step above the drones. Daughters, too, have been pushed away from that ideal existence. They, too, often find it does not pay, in even pocket money, to sit around and play sunshine for the family, just incidentâ€" ally, while waiting to be married. All girls hands haven‘t that little line that the palmist tells us means a husband. There are more than enough of them to go around, and so same girls must be the little Sally Waterses of society ; only, nowâ€"aâ€"days, the Sallies are "bachelâ€" or girls," and not old maids, and many <of them earn their own living. But this is not Utopia. Roses and asparagus, and even brook trout won‘t do. Man‘s ideal existence has become a good deal warped, and woman‘s has followed it away from the line of perâ€" fection, _ Ina the ideal world she wouldn‘t even want to know whether asparagus was another name for roses {if she could cook it) ; but in the nowâ€" aâ€"day world she does need to know them, Latin roots and all, and, more than all the ‘rest of it, she needs to kuow the price of the roses and those tasty little shoots which look so big in the bunch and go off so distressingly in the boiling. It may not be an ideal existence, ‘but the world is not an ideal world, and there are a good many glass housâ€" es. I am tired of my unending cry of hardened women. People talk of the so.l of business life. the bloom that goes the way of the fruity mist on the plums and grapes. â€"A good deal of it has foundation. The business woman learns that words are not words and that business affairs yield better reâ€" turns if the transactions are in writâ€" ing. It is not a woman‘s ideal exist. _A women‘s ideal existence is in the home. Be she wife or daughter or mother whose hands rule the bouseâ€" keeping, it should be her privilege, her jealouslyâ€"guarded care, to wall that deâ€" fence of hearts with her own loving strength. _ She should be the cheerful, tender helpmeet, the father‘s staff, the children‘s good angel, the housewife, the homeâ€"maker and keeper, and the blessed sunshine, That would be a woman‘s ideal exâ€" istenceâ€"but then, the man‘sâ€"Authoriâ€" ties differ, and we all hold our own opinions. I think he should read and write, plant rose trees and asparagus, be good to his wife and mind who his daughter marries. _ He should take his family for walks in the fields in the evenings and the not too early mornâ€" ings, and he should go fishing once a week. When men live that kind of a life woman may return to her ideal exâ€" istence. If the opinions of many people were put into words they would run someâ€" thing like this : ‘"Women are to spend honey to get money, to beg, coax or hoax it, but they never understand its value. > The idea is not an uncommon one. It is held, for the most part, by men, but like your last summer sailor‘s hat, it is a little oldâ€"fashioned for this seaâ€" son. ma to earn a livlihood than it was twenty or even ten years ago. There are still, thoughâ€"more‘s the pityâ€" those who look askance at the young womun whose bonnet and bread are paid out of her own wages. jThere are three ways in which womâ€" en get moneyâ€"through the dead fingers of thair dead kin, the living ones of their existing relatives, or by their hands of wits. Latterley women make more money. It is now less of a stigâ€" wWOMEN AND MONEY, BY ELLA S. ATKINS As soon as the question had left my lips I saw that, if there was a differâ€" ence, both would be wrong, and I hastâ€" ened to tell him so. He said : "I have to sign them with my name, pro Blank." «We are responsible for these stateâ€" ments ; it is nothing to you whether they are true or false." I said to him, "Do they sign the letters, or ask you to write them in your own name ?" Eul Months passed, and he remained in his situation. Aftera while he called on me, and I saw by his face something had happened. There are women to whom a bank book is Greek, and & discount some unintelligible disagreement between man and man. Of course it would not be necessary for an ideal woman to understand these things, but an ideal man would not go and die and leave them for her to attend to. There are gray.haired women done out of their rights because they know nothing of business, and girls in their teens deâ€" frauded from their own because they were too innocent. A young man came one day with a case of conscience,. He was corresâ€" ponding clerk in a flourishing house of business. His employer had begun to direct him to write letters to customers containing statements which he knew to be false. He had objected and they said : He replied, "I am still in my situaâ€" tion ; I had an interview with the partners, and I told them I would not write letters I knew to be untrue; they were very angry, and I expected to receive notice, but I have not reâ€" ceived it yet." Yes, we‘ll agree ; but he might be asked what he pays his life insurance for.. It may be his wife will be left to attend to his affairs. "But the lawyers," he adds. Oh, yes, we‘ve all heard of them. There are wives who are their husâ€" band‘s almost idols, yet they couldn‘t cash a cheque. I said, "Your case is perfectly clear; you must decline to do it." Produced from the laxative and nutritious juice of California figs, combined with the medicing) virtues of plants known to be most benficial to the human system, acts gently on the liver kidney and bowels, effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds and headaches, and curing habitual constipation. He said, ‘Then I shall be dismissed‘; and, after a pause, "I leave a wife and family." I met him some days after. *Well, Mr.â€"â€"," said I, "how are you getting on now ?" Women should understand business and money transactions. Perhaps someâ€" body‘s wife didn‘t learn about money when she went to school. Stocks and interest, general banking, and a little law, were‘nt included in the curriculâ€" ums of fashionable boarding schools in days gone by. Well, teach it to her now. You‘ve no idea what fun you old Darbys and Joans could have over those "nasty sums." It has become not only expedient but necessary for women to thoroughly understand money. It will harden them, but only with an exterior proâ€" tective hardness. Their bearts will still be womanly and beat true.â€"Canaâ€" diau Magazine. Some men _ will say indignantly : "But my wife‘s place is in the house." I like the woman who keeps accounts. She need not be niggardly as some suppose, and it will do ner heart good when she has spent her last dollar to be able to exactly determine where it and all its fellows went to. She ought to be able to account for every centâ€" not to any one else, if it was her own money, but to herself. She can sit down and preach herself a nice little sermon on extravagance, and it will do her far more good than any amount of unsolicited advice and distasteful reâ€" proach. The blueâ€"blooded aunt of the family doesn‘t like the woman who earn money. If her neice is one of thein she doesn‘t like her neice. This aunt generally has a fortune and an everlasting beart disease, and the wageâ€"earning girl knows too much about money to suit her. She knows that legacies don‘t amount to much until they are paid, and even then are not able to balunce one crucifixion of a proper pride. The blueâ€"blooded auntie will not be able to understand this, but then, she never earned any money and, ten to one, she doesn‘s keep accounts. Moneyâ€"getting hardens and moneyâ€" spending hardens ; and yet I say the more able women are both to get and spend the better women they areâ€"not ideal ones with wings, and aureolas around their curls, but good, sensible, trueâ€"hearted women, on sturdy feet of their own, and bearing in their bosoms loving, unselfish hearts. It must not be expected that a womâ€" an can live in the ideal ignorant innoâ€" cence and keep house with it, while a man comes home from bis unideal world, which, however, is the best one to have. She would be a great deal too good for him. I do not think he could be allowed in. Has the cunning of the merchant, the shrewdness of the broker, the tact of the politician, the suavity of the preacher, any place in man‘s Utopia ? ence, but then, what would you ? "«Well, Mr. â€"â€"," I said, "have you Dishonest Men Value Honesty. Syrup of Figs. She was a young girl from the counâ€" try, and did not understand city ways; so when invited to a reception she went at an unfashionably, early hour. Entering the dressingâ€"room she was dismayed to see not a cloak, not a wrap of any sort, only a wellâ€"trained person, who took off our Teountry girl‘s wrapâ€" pings and then disappeared. But instantly appeared a radiant white visionâ€"the daughter of the house. NMas. Wixsrow‘s SootntN@ SyRUP has been used by millions of mothers for their children when teething. .

"I am so glad. _ Mamma and I were wishing we had some one help us reâ€" ceive. _ And you did not see papa the other day. You must come right down and see him, and be one of us." Tears were in the country girl‘s eyes when she told me this little story. "Don‘t you think it was the very loveliest thing ?" she said. "There I was, an hour before every one else ; and they made it seem as if I was their special friend and belonged to them ; and everybody was introduced to me, and it was so lovely." _Wilkins : "Yes ; and now his lazy shiftless son is kiiling himselt by spend ing the old man‘s money."
