LIZZIZ 0. THOMAS
The * marriage of Miss Helen Gould
I was* an event that bore upon the lives
I of many thousand girls, to say nothing
I of her Influence on others. As many
I of you know, she was very much inter-
jested In Christian Association work for
I young women as well as for the men;
I but there is another woman in New
jYorkrwho has devoted as much or more
I of her life to the work for young wom
en. Miss Dodge keeps in close touch
I with this work all over the United
1 States. Every year the secretaries of
I the Young Women’s Christian associa
tions get a Christmas card that she
I has selected and. addressed herself, and
I she chose the design, too.
Four years ago she could not attend
■ the ‘Asheville, X. C., summer con'fer-
lence on account of her mother’s ill-
Iness. She wrote the club girls a let-
iter to be read at their council meeting,
lit was such a helpful letter that I had
(dozens of copies made and gave them
■ to girls who could not be there. The
I original letter with -r.er Autograph 1
I keep. Today a little incident made
I me think that I could send you no
■ thought that would be more beneficial
■ than some extracts from Miss Dodge’s
I letter. I wish I had space for all ot
lit. For twenty-four years she had
■ been a club girl and began by saying
I how hard it was not to attend that
| council.
Among other good thoughts are
|these:
Have you ever thought of what St.
|Paul meant when he wrote to the Cor-
Itnthians, “Ye are the Temple of God.”
l“The ^emple # of God is holy which
■ Temple ye are.” •'‘Know ye not that
I your body is the Temple of the Holy
(Ghost?” ‘Ye are not yuur own, there
fore glorify God in your body.” Ann
■ again, “Ye are witnesses of me.” Or
I this, “Tnat the life also of Jesus might
■ be made manifest in our body.” ‘These
■ messages we hear often and are apt to
llo^k at them as apart from our daily
■ life, from us. Some of us, however,
■ have learned to adapt and apply them

lAdvice Given Mother in Re

Proves Valuable to Daugh
ter Even After Marriage
I Pollock, Tex.—“When I was a girl,
labout 14 years of age,” writes Mrs. Win-
Inie Delaney, of this town. “I was in
lawfully bad health. I tried different
■ treatments, but they did me no good.
I A friend advised my mother to give me
I Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She gave me
lone bottle, and it straightened me out all
(right.
I did not have any more trouble until
I after I was married. I had several bad
Ispelld* then, but I began taking Cardui
■again, and my health started to improv
ing right away.
I can safely recommend Cardui to all
I women sufferers, as I think it is the
(greatest woman’s medicine on earth.
You may publish this letter if you
| wish.”
Cardui is good for young girls, as well
las older women, because it contains pure,
I harmless, vegetable ingredients, which
■ act gently, yet surely, on the delicate
(womanly organs. It is a tonic prepared
(exclusively for women.
For more than 50 years, Cardui has
(been in widely extended use, by women
(of all ages, and has given- entire satis
faction, as a remedy for rebuilding wom-
|anly health and strength.
You can rely on Cardui. It will do for
| you, what it has done for thousands of
| others. I.t will help you.
Begin to take Cardui, today.

to the everyday routine of life, and
are trying more and more to realize
that if we are so honored, our obdlea
and each detail of life should tell Tor
Him. The fourfold sides of life are
so closely aUed we cannot say which
is physiqa, which intellectual, moral or
spiritual. Thus when we get up, find
our roO mclose because not aired dur
ing the night, we are apt to feel heavy
and tired. If we allow just time
enough we dress without me proper
washing, etc. Breakfast seems unin
viting and we are apt to rush off after
perhaps swallowing a cup of coffee and
eating a bite of bread, probably not
even sitting down fur it. Further, we
do not take time for the necessary in
ner cleansing of our system, and by
10 o'clock we question why we have
a headache. We are apt then to be
nervous, or to speak sharply, hurting
our friends by careless speech. By 5
or 6 we get home cross and tired with
out the happy atmosphere to bring
jeheer to our mothers*-
“When the message was sent to the
members of an early church, ‘Whatso
ever ye do. do it heartily as unto the
Lord,’ did it not mean that if they were
temples of God, witnesses here for Him,
nothing was too small to do for His
glory? I have long tried when buying
clothes, hats, not to think of fashion,
but whether the dress, hat, etc., would
be for the glory of God. Harmony, ap
propriateness, beauty, should be consid
ered, for all nature is, harmonious and
beautiful, but am"I buying where con
ditions are just and fair, have I money
to pay promptly, and further, are the
clothes light in weight .but warm and
adapted to needs? Consider the lilies’
can be adapted to clothes as well as to
other lessons.
“Bureau drawers, closets, spaces un
der beds are often revelations of char
acter. When I think of the first resur
rection on Easter day and study the
great lesson, the smaller one seems also
of importance.! ‘He heheld the linen
clothes laid by themselves.’ ‘The nap
kin th^t was about His head not lying
with the linen clothes, but wrapped, to
gether In a place by itself.’ Here Is a
lesson in housekeeping. We think it is
a trouble to put our room in order in
the morning, let us think that on one
of the greatest mornings of history
some angel, or the Lord Himself, put
the grave in order. Nature, God’s crea
tures, also teach us order.
“Economy, care in trifles, is another
characteristic to consider. The gather
ing up of the fragments that none be
lost after the feeding of the multitude,
teach us a lesson. Care in little things
is most necessary, and yet not such care
that we get worried. Time or worry
spent on non-essentials is not wise. Wor
ry spoils many lives.
“ ‘Do the best you can and leave the rest.
Do not worry, smile.’
“ ‘She was so pleasant.’ ‘She made
others happy.’ Simple words found on
two old gravestones and yet how full of
meaning. Cheery, patient, restful, have
we these traits? Let me quote two
verses which have helped me:
“ ‘And it pays every time to be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look cheer
ful,
Tne world will soon smile back at
you.
So try to brace up and look pleasant,
No matter how low you are down',
Good humor is always contagious,
But you banish your friends when you
frown.’
* • •
“ ‘The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining,
I therefore turn my clouds about,
And.always wear them inside out,
To show the lining.’ ”
Not only does this letter teach many
good lessons to the girls in business,
but women everywhere can take it to
themselves. “Cheery, patient, restful,
have we these traits?” Miss Dodge
has them. And it is an inspiration to
work with her. Thoroughly absorbed
in her great work, she has time for the
small, sweet courtesies that help make
life worth living. She thoroughly un
derstands how to eliminate the non-
essentials, and that gives her much
more time and strength to do things
worth while.
I know that there are many who will
read this and say that their lives are
too quiet, too insignificant, to influence
others. There has never been a life
without its influence. Sometimes such
lives mar the homes. Occasionally a
younger observer will pattern after
them and nobody be the wiser until it
is too late, for “as the twig is bent
the tree’s inclined.”
Turn your cloud inside out if you
cannot banish it. Remember, it is not
always our cloud; we too often claim
a cloud that might pass o%er us. — But
if there is a burden to bear, a grief to
share or a heart that is breaking ’neath
a load we might share, let’s do it with
the best grace possible. And it is not
necessary to look away off for great
things to do. There is the work that
lies about our feet. And I can tell
you from my own experience that if we
are doing the best we can we are fitting
ourselves for something better. My call
to Japan, my work on this paper, what
I’ve done through the Young Women’s
Christian association, found me busy.
‘‘There’s a battle to fight.
There’s a wrong to right,
There’s a God who blesses the good
with might;
So fare ye forth with a song.”
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.
P. S.—Have you seen the new Annie
Dennis Cook Book? I thought the first
one as good as anybody wanted, but
Miss Dennis has made it over, revised
it and put it up to date. Canning clubs
and homes contemplating putting up
their surplus vegetables, figs and small
fruit will find explicit directions in this
new Annie Dennis Cook Book. See The
Journal’s offer on this page today. The
book sells for a dollar and is worth It.

ONE CRUST PIES
A lady In a certain city learned that many
young women doing light housekeeping would
buy pies if they could get them small enough,
and that others would buy the baked crusts if
they knew where to get them. So she joined
the Woman’s Exchange and made a specialty of
the baked shells in small sizes. Orders left
with the Exchange would be filled ns the pur
chaser desired. Sometimes the girls told her
of their mince pies made in her shells, then
there were all sorts of combinations and ex
periments. Some made regulation pies and
omitted the meringue and declared them just as
good. Here are some that need only one crust,
the meringue is at least pretty if not an im
provement otherwise.
Cream pies are subject to many varieties,
but here is a good foundation to build them
of, and to use for filling.
Cream Pie—Put a pint of fresh milk on to
get hot. A double boiler Is best If you have
one. Then mix the yolks of two eggs with
half a cupful of sugar ; add to It two rounding
tablespoonfuls of flour, a pinch of salt and a
toblespoonfulof cold milk, or enough to make
the mixture smooth, stir this into tne not milk
and stir constantly until It thickens. Use
your favorite flavoring. Cool the mixture, oc
casionally beating it to prevent lumpiness.
Pour this into a baked shell. Cover with a
merinque made of two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and the whites of two eggs well beaten. In
baking meringue leave the oven door open a
few minutes and let it dry out a tiny bit
before it browns, then it does not stick to the
knife. .
Chocolate Frosting is made by adding two
tablespoonfuls of chocolate with the sugar to the
beaten whites and brown as usual. Fruit may
be used to advantage, and the left overs are
thus enjoyed as much as the fruit course
was.
Peach Cream Pie—Lay the halves of canned
peaches in the baked shells, pos. In the cream
filling and finish with meringue.
For Coconnut—Cook two tablespoonfuls of
dried coconnut with the filling and sprinkle a
little over the meringue. Bananas may be
sliced and the filling poured over, then the
meringue.
Haisin Pie—This may he made with one or
two crusts. If one crust, then the filling must
cool!ed on the stove and added to
the baked crusts. Take one cupful of seeded
of* wateiU "! m alf ’ CT,pfl11 nt R PS ar and. one
of water. Add a tablespoonful of butter, one
of 71 cornstarch, and the Juice and rind
partly hXd , T', POUr into postr T that is

BUSY MOTHER.
WENT TO SEE THE FARM
Dear Household: All winter I thought I would
write and especially since Miss Thomas told
us of her new farm life. In fact, I was so
Interested that in my dreams I visited her,
helped to count the little chickens and pot them
up for the night, thep were in the oats patch
and each brood went to its own box; then we
covered them up and put them out of harm’s
way.. Then we went to see the garden. In
fact, it was a delightful dream, and I was
sorry to awake and find it not true.
All of Miss Thomas’ Chats are enjoyed, but
I like those most whicn tell of herself and
where she nas been. I hope those dogs wich
bothered you are dead, Miss Thomas, and if
you can’t buy “rough of rats” in Atlanta, I’ll
send you some. It is splendlfl for rabbits as
well as dogs.
Mrs. Alexander, come again and bring the
twins, we all enoy them. What are their
names? I think all twins are interesting and
cute, but I’m always glad they pre tne other
fellow’s and not living at my house. There Is
a pair on our place, a boy and girl, Annie
Lou and Andy Lee. The girl thinks she is much
the older and larger and protects the boy.
Poor little things, if some on© had tnem who
would fix them up clean they would be pretty.
The boy dips snuff and chews until his tongue
is nearly paralyzed. I have tried to hire him
to quit it, gave him sugar and candy, or any
thing. He will keep it off of his mouth for
awhile, then he gets so he doesn’t care, and I’ve
seen his mother pour his little hand full and
he would lick it up and hold it in his mouth,
It seemed, like an hour. She knows it’s wrong,
but won’t believe that is why he can hardly
talk or walk, though seven years old. It is
awful to * see such people parents of little
children. , , .
How many of you board the teacner? I do.
It Is a good idea; then we can know better who
our children are under so much of their time,
and can co-operate with them.
Wishing for eax:h of you a happy year, I am

THE NORMAL BOY
Dear Household:': I’m a a silent admirer of
Chat, Country Home, and in fact all of the
Semi-Weekly Journal, and I get so much
good out of It I feel like I want to add *my
mite in regard to the rearing of boys. I have
six. Two are men and hold good positions.
You may say what you please, as long as
your boy Is * little, not large enough to go
to school, you can force him to do as you
say, but when he gets off in other circles, do
you know what he does. They will follow
other’s examples rather than yours. My ex
perience in life teaches that it takes all of
your time, watching, praying and advising from
the time* they * get old enough to go to school
till they are twenty. If you can keep him in
the right path till then, you have almost got
him safe.

Get Rid of That
Tired Feeling
(Medical News) --
“That drowsy, tired, worn-out feeling
which most of us have at the approach
of warm weather comes from the poi
soned impurities in the blood which gen
erally lead to sickness or poor health.
At the first signs of spring a good,
blood-purifying tonic should be taken
by every member of the family.
“The expense of making such a tonic
will fce small if one gets from the drug
store 1-2 pint alcohol and 1 ounce kar-
dene, ‘then mix these with 1-2 cupful
sugar, adding hot water to make a
quart. A tablespoonful taken before
meals will soon clear the blood of all
impurities, banish pimples and sallow
ness and restore lost appetite and en
ergy. No known remedy is so strength
ening and energizing to a tired, worn-
out system as this old-fashioned body-
regulator. It is one of the best health-
restorers known to medical science.”

Golden Text: “Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that
wait for Him.” Isa. 30: 18.
Twins are always interesting; I re
member some that looked alike, weigh
ed the same, dressed alike, laughed
alike, talked alike, and even thought
alike. When given a problem to state
and solve independently, they stated
the same problem, the bv,dy of the proof
was slightly different, but they reached
the same conclusion. That is not so
much to be wondered at when we think
they were born of the same parents,
at the same time, and were raised un
der the same environment^
Our lesson today is about twins who
differed very materially at the last at
least, even though their .early days
were alike. TJheir divergence began
when they were boys, for Esau liked to
hunt, while Jacob was a ho^ne body.
Fo this reason, their fatner Isaac cared
more for Esau, for he had a very strong
tooth for game, and enjoyed the veni
son and other meats that Esau brought
In. Their mother, however, cared more
for Jacob, probably because she was
thrown more intimately with him as
he grew up. H’er affections may have
been drawn to him the more because
before they were born, God had told
her that the elder should serve the
younger, and she loved him the more
for what he was going to be.
A SERIOUS DIFFERENCE.
When they were about twenty years
old, an incident occurred which showed
a very serious difference between the
character of the two men. Esau came
back from the chase tired and hungry
and smelled the savory odors from the
bowl of soup that Jacob had prepared.
His appetite was so strong that he
felt like he must have it, so he asked
his brother for Sume, telling him that
he was so faint he was about to die.
I shouldn't be surprised if Jacop
hadn’t prepared this on purpose. He
had seen his brother Esau come back
from the chase before and knew how
hungry he was. I am quite sure he see
this trap for him. Whether intentional
or not, it worked. Jacob realized that
this was his opportunity. Esau being
the first born was'entitled to the birth
right which carried with it, certain
blessings. Probably Rebekah had tola
Jacob of the promise which God haa
made to her, and Jacob desired it very
greatly. The birthright entitled the
receiver to twice as muen of the prop
erty as any other child, of authority
in the family, of certain reirg?ous re
sponsibilities. By reason of the birth
right the receiver became the prophet,
priest, and the king of the family. It
was desired more than any other thing
which could be received by inheritance.
Jacob showed his nobility of charac
ter in holy ambition for that which is
worth while. Esau manifested his
weakness of character in not caring
for that which was his right, for he
sold it to Jacob for a bowl of soup.
His excuse was very plausible if it
had been true. He said: “I am going
to ( ie anyway. I might as well satis
fy my hunger before I die.” But he
was not anywhere near death; he was
Just the victim of the appetite.
The whole truth about Esau and Ja
cob Is expressed in this uttie couplet:
“Esau saw what ’e saw, Jacob saw
what was real.” Esau proved that be
was not a fit man to inherit the birth
right, and become the leader of his
^amily, by holding so lightly the most
precious possession which his family
could give him. His vision was lim
ted. He got what he went after, but
he didn’t go far enough. He set his
affections on things present, and let
his appetite control his actions. So
he sold his birthright to his brother
Jacob.
JACOB’S MISTAKE.
Jacob was a shrewd man. He could
drive a bargain as well as some of his
descendants. God had promised him
the birthright, but the mistake he
made now, and twenty years later as
well, was in an unwillingness to wait
God’s time. He bad no right to take
advantage of his brother's weakness.
He should have waited God’s time.
Twenty years later when h e and his
brother were forty years of age, Isaac,
being eighty, another crisis in his life
came. Isaac’s eyesight had gotten
bad; he was feeble and fearing the
end was near, although it proved not
to be, he called Esau to give him a pa
ternal blessing before he departed. He
sent him to get some venizon and per-
pare it for him in a way that he liked.
Rebekkah overheard it, and devised a
scheme to defeat his purposes. She
had Jacob get a kid and kill iv while
she prepared it to be as savory as pos
sible. She made known her plan to
Jacob, which was that he should act a
li% Jacob’s only objection to the plan
was that he <vas afraid he would get
caught, but finally h e yielded to his
mother's persistence, and carried out
the plan to perfection. He acted his
part well, but he told no less than six
lies m doing it.
Now, this was not necessary. Since
h« had bought the birthright he was
entitled to the blessing. All that was
necessary for him to have done was to
have told his father, Isaac, of the
transaction of his brother twenty
years before. If Isaac knew of it and
was trying to defeat his purpose, he
deserved to be deceived, although I do
not Intend for one moment to commend
Jacob for his deception.
Esau came in too late. He found out
his mistake too late. But there was
nothing more to be done.
Although our lesson stops here, I
am glad that w e continue the story
next week. Otherwise we might have
a very wrong impression of Jacob,
whose blood flowed in the veins of the
Babe of Bethlehem. We shall study
next week his life and there learn
something to his credit—for there Is a
good deal to be said to his credit. For
t.*e present, however, let us be content
with these two lessons from his life.
Let us emulate him in his desire for
the hings which were real, rather than
those which were just about him, and
his willingness to sacrifice if need be
in order that he might obtain them
But let us avoid his mistake, and wait
for the accomplishment of God’s plan.
Wholesome Foods at Little Cost
THE LIMA BEAN.
BY. J. A. HUSIK M. D.
It has been aptly said that the peas
and beans may be called the vegetable
beefsteaks, so rich are these in the
food element contained in meats. The
dry lima bean is the richest of them
all. __ It came originally from South
America, where it is a native plant.
But at present the lima bean is cul
tivated as a food product in many
parts of the world. And a valuable
article of diet the lima bean indeed is.
The amount of its protein material,
which is the maip food element of meat,
is greater in the bean than in some of
the meats. Its content of fat, on the
other hand, is small, being about 1
per cent. But to compensate for the
lack of fat the bean is verw rich in
starches and sugars. On account of its
richness in protein material, it may be
used partly to take the place of meats.
If it be kept in mind that porterhouse
steak, for instance, contains only 22
p&r cent of proteins and the dry lima
bean contains 18 per cent of the same
food element, it will at once become ap
parent what a r i ch dietary product the
lima bean realy is; for its cost can
in no way be compared to that of the
high-priced meats. And yet the bean
is rich in that very food principle for
which meats are eaten. In this respect,*
too, the bean is richer than the most
nutritious of cereals—namely, oat
meal.
The protein content of the lima bean
makes it a very good tissue builder,
capable of replacing the daily wear
and tea of the body. But the large
dren’s faults, but let’s look at other mothers’
boys with the same eyes as onr own. There
are not many “saintly” boys, that stay in this
world long after they gecome “saints,” they
are just “boys.” You may think mine are
mighty bad, they are as good to me as any
boy caft be. They never forget mother and I
share In their prosperity. I hope this will
do some mother’s heart good that just has nor
mal boys, not saints. I am
A SUBSCRIBER.
THE COMMON WAY
There’s an hour for each when the Angel’e
speech
To the tongue of man is given—
When oartn is crossed as at Pentecost
By the rushing fires of heaven;
But the common way is for every day,
And we common folks must face it
With a common smile for each common mile
And the little flowers that grace It.
To trudge and trust In the daily dust
Wtili « comrade tried and cheery—
To lift the eyes to the heartening skies
When the plodding feet grow weary,
Is to bless the road and the hopes that goad
And the beckoning stars that guide me.
The common way that’s for every day
Is the way you walk beside me.
The world must plod at the call of God
On a weary march and holy,
From best to best, toward an end unguessed,
But slowly—slowly—slowly.
So the lot we bear with all life we share
And the goal of all life's growin;
For the common way that’s for every day
Is the wav of God’s own going.

SPRING HAS COME
The sunbeams, lost for half a year,
Slant through my pane their morning rays,
For dry northwesters cold and clear,
The east blows in its thin blue haze.
And first the snowdrop’s bells are seen.
Then close against a sheltering wall
The tulip’s horn of dusky green,
The peony’s dark unfolding ball.
The golden chalice crocus burns;
The long narcissus blades appear;
The cone-beaked hyacinth returns
To light her blue-flamed chandelier.
See the proud tulip’s flaunting cup,
That flames in glory for an hour—
Behold it withering—then look up—
IIow meek the forest monarch’s flower.
When wake the violets. Winter dies;
When sfrout the elmbuds, Spring is near;
When lilacs blossom, Summer cries:
“Bud little roses! Spring is here.”

amount of the starches and sugars con
tained therein renders it also valuable
for the supply of heat and enegry. Men
who do hard manuel labor and those
who undergo great physical exertion of
any kind will find the lima bean a valu
able food.
The bean should not be eaten unless
very thoroughly cooked. When hastily
prepared and not subjected to the
action of slow and prolonged cooking
or baking, beans are very indigestible.
Persons who naturally have weak di
gestive organs, cannot eat the bean ex
cept in very small quantities. Very
young children should not partake of
the bean at all; 4 for this legume re
quires a normal, healthy stomach to
take care of it and to utilize it for tfye
needs of the body.
The average individual, however,
need not fear any ill effects upon his
system from the use of this food In
moderate quantities. Its hi&h nutritive
values, its palatability, and its digesti
bility when properly prepared, should
make it a very common food product
in every household.

The darkest days of husband and wife
are when they come to look forward to
cvchildless and lonely old age.
Many a wife has found herself inca
pable of motherhood owing to some
derangement of the feminine system,
often curable by the proper remedies.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound makes women normal.

YOU AND YOUR WIFE
WHERE CONFID ENCE IS MUTUAL.
BY GRAHAM HOOD.
If a business is to be operated suc
cessfully there is one thing that the
partners must possess in common, and
that is complete confidence in each oth
er. If one partner was forever ques
tioning the methods of the other, sus
pecting his motives and doubting his
judgment, it would not be long before
a dissolution of partnership would be
come Inevitable.
AVhile the mutual confidence is nec
essary in the commercial world, the
need for this relationship is still more
imperative when the business is that of
home making. Here, too, lack of confi
dence breeds countless difficulties that
are certain to lead to bankruptcy if the
leakages are not repaired.
To conduct a business firm efficient
ly, th e partner^ invariably arrange an
equitable division of duties. One as
sumes certain specific responsibilities;
another, other dutes, until they have
divided the work between them. This
accomplished to their mutual satisfac
tion, they set to work to achieve the
best results possible. From time to
time they may confer upon important
questions, but, so far as perosnal re
sponsibility is concerned, the authority
of each in his own share of the labor
remains unquestioned until some exi
gency arises to make a change in the
arrangements necessary.
This is not the basis on wnich many
homes are run, although theoretically It
should be. In the domestic firm there
ample scope for a division of labor,
and there are few homes where things
woul<J not run more smoothly if such
equitable arrangements wer e carried
out. By reason of his position, it is
the husband’s duty to find the money
to meet the operating expenses of the
household, while it is the work of the
wife to see that the expenditures are
made in a way to attain the best re
sults and in a manner in keeping with
the proportions of the income. If the
two partners are to work together har
moniously ther© must be a well defined
basis of mutual understanding.
Strangely enough, however, the busi
ness man who is the sincerest advocate
of system in the workship and office is
frequently the one who is most negli
gent of this factor when it comes to
the management of the home. While
recognizing the need for ready money
for current expenses in his business—
while fully appreciating the advantages
to be derived from all discounts for
cash and the many like economies—the
idea that similar principles might also
be applied in the conduct of the business
of the home firm does not seem to occur
to him.
If a business man should attempt to
conduct a commercial enterprise in the
planless sort of way In which he ex
pects his wife to manage the affairs of
the home he would soon find himself
in serious difficulties, and few who were
acquainted with the circumstances
would feel much sympathy for him.
Common sense dictates the course to be
pursued so clearly that no sensible man
will attempt to run counter to it. He
knows that, no matter how promising a
project may be, a certain amount of
capital is necessary, if it is to be float
ed 1 successfully, and it is only the fool
hardy individual who will attempt to
launch such an enterprise if he does not
know where the necessary money is to
come from.
Confidence in a wife means a great
deal more than a belief in the sincerity
of her love or faith her integrity. It
must imply a willingness to trust her
in the management of some of the
financial problems as well as the af
fairs of the heart or the training of
the children. And the confidence shown
must be no less genuine than that which
he imposes in those who are associated
with him in other business matters.
He is willing that they should bear their
share of the responsibilities; he credits
them with possessing wise motives and
good judgment; the fact that he is in
business with them indicates that he
believes that his interests are safe in
their hands, and why should he not
endow the little woman who is his
partner in the home concern with an
equal degree of respect and confidence?
