with the woman.
There exists a widely prevalent, but
very erroneous Idea that a woman's
duties are of ao little Importance that
it la no crime for others to Infringe
upc-n the time allotted to them, as it
would be to trespass upon the mascu
line working hour*. A remark very
familiar upon the lips of men la: "Wo
men have nothing to do but think
about this or that,’’ naming something

Per to think about at
that especial time. When
the wife Is late for any engage
ment, and Is blamed for her tardiness
by her Impatient husband, tt will be
generally found that she ia Into be
cause an hour or more of her time has
been tilled with email services for th“
man—who Is perf.ctly helpless In the
matters of nibbing off grease-spots end
managing obstlnato buttons—services
totally unlooked fer, end for which no
time was left In reserve.
But the men are not wholly to blame,
for one’s women friends are quite as
bad. The woman without n rule of bc
tton to govern her daily Mf* unthink
ingly destroys more valuable time In
the life of her more systematic neigh
bor than dees any other factor. She
cannot understand how the minutes
end hours, comparatively valueless to
her. can be eo important to others; and
so she wastes her busy friends’ hours
with endless and purposeless talk; or,
with a reckless disregard for the ap
pointed hour, Is tardy In keeping an
engagement, thus throwing into disor
der the busv woman's carefully mapp
ed out day. ’in which all the necessary
work can be accomplished only by the
most systematic management.
If everyone worked according to rule,
how much better It would be! How
much fewer nervous headaches would
exist, how great would be the saving
in nerve force, and how much mire
werk could be accomplished. Should
each woman, whether In business Ilfs
or In her home, plan to perform cer
tain duties at certain hours, no one
would have leisure to waste the time
of others, and In (he werk completed

Ito the wardrobes of a few. Furniture
and food were the objects of ns clever
contriving as was dress, and many a
woman speedily learned how to wield

The wants of the men at the front

The “doing without” was, in more
than one Instance, a romance, and al
ways it formed the groundwork for an
interesting story. It Is said that a
Georgia man Is soon to collect some or ;
these stories In a book to be cnllea

sav that, when this eagerly looked-for

author of “Social Evolution ’ and ’’ I ha
Control of the Tropica,' l who after
more than two months’ travel and ob
servation from Boston to Sun Francis
co, has just left our shores, devoted
the closing day of bis visit, In which
he greatly heightened his already
great American reputation, to putting
upon paper his view's of the Intel na
tional and colonial responsibilities and
duties of the United States, as enforced
and modified In his mind by his own
personal experiences and observations
in America.
Mr. Kidd’s conclusions regarding the
control of the tropics, and our respon
sibilities therein will be eagerly await

ful readers, both as coming from so
eminent a source—at, once critical and
friendly—and also as the only written
utterance furhished by Mr. Kidd dur
