How, then,' does it coma about that
women, who have tha reputation of be
ing so criminally ; carelesa In minor
matters, seem to be quite Immune from
tha temptation of .appropriating money 7
The reason is said to be -because women
do not care for money aa money, as
men do.' While ' tb men concentrate
their whole energies on making money,
the women dream of the luxuries and
fineries which money can purchase.
Thus the sight of f 1.000 in gold would
not tempt the average woman nearly so
much as would an exquisite brooch of
the same value.?. ; ; .
Moreover men are largely tempted
by their financial necessities. .They get
In diff IculUes, aro pressed by creditors,
and must get money somehow. Women
do not require so mucn cash as men;
thev are either provided for. or thev
have little lnduoement to spend, and so
they are not 'tempted wrongfully to ac
quire that which la not likely- to give
them by Us possession much Increased
pleasure. -
. i' To put aside all these, theories, how
Yer.. ba Aueatloa to be considered is:
Does business training develop and
strengthen the character which Is latent
in so many women? More often than
not women unconsciously conform to
whatever Ideal is expeoted of them.
Their employers place confidence in
them, and they Justify it by their in
tegrity and uprightness. Their train
ing develops their sense of responsibil
ity and honor, and through it they
come to realize that. In every relation
of life, nothing- avails but the triumph
of principle.
Hunger and Appetite.
From the London Dally Mail
"The Health Value of a Good Appe
tite," was the subject of & lecture by
Dr.' Strlckland-Goodall , recently before
tha Institute of Hygiene. .1
, The lecturer showed that hunger and
appetite were , not the same, though
commonly believed to be so. Hunger,
be atated, sprang from tissue want,
whereas appetite, In all except new
born children, was largely a mental pro--cess.;
The anticipation Of food caused
nerve Impulses to travel along the spe
cial sense paths of sight and smell, in-,
duclng - pleasurable'' sensations - which
stimulated . the salivary and othor
(lands, an so - favored digestion,
aettes placed close together in the back.
. xne lengtn or gins' aress is always a
mooted point, and really can't be de
cided by rule and square. . Children
when they are still small are now wear
ing their skirts very, very short, leav
ing a long expanse of slim stockinged
legs or dimpled knee and white sock.
Black shoes, with white kid tops, with
either black or white buttons are cor
rect, for. afternoon wear; One strap
slippers are worn with white socks in
the house. Leg-gins of white wool ar
worn by little, children out of doors,
whller tan ooze calf are for bovs a little
older, and. leggins ot velveteen to match
for pink, cheeks artd baby bluei eyes.
beaver are aoft and becoming, too.
. These toafo are usually made on sim
ple lines and fastened down the front
with large silk frogs. The furs used
are always light n, weight, so that they
may not tire the small wearer. They'
sometimes have contrasting fur In col-
ma tion, and quite reconciles her : to
wearing pinafores.
In stocking the little girl's wardrobe,
don't let those diminutive kimonos and
sweaters be forgotten. They come in'
styles quite liite tne "grown-ups- ana
can be found ready made in many
shops. . ' ., -
