WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

VIEWS OF REAL ESTATE BROKERS, BANKERS AND LAWYERS.

'omen Can Bay or Sell Realty and Borrow Money Just the Same aa VIen—They Are Not lfoycottcd Because of Sex—Experience of a Female Ileal Eutate Agent.

A recital of the hindrances encountered by women in business which has been made by Mrs. Sewall in The Woman's Magazine is re•ceiving a wide circulation by reason of the statements therein made. Mrs. Sewall says that, "having lately heard that certain large business firms, divers great loan companies and numerous brokers declined to have any business dealings with women," sbe has taken pains to ascertain the facts, and finds that no false rumor has been spread, but that in very truth "many of the wealthiest corporations

Issue orders to every office and every agent in their employ under no circumstances to loan money to a woman." This ruw is said to be final, to apply to all women, to spinsters and widows as well as to wives, and to be enforced witliA regard to the security th&t may be offered.

Business men are said to justify this discrimination on two grounds: first: because a wouian is never satisfied that she is being treated fairly, cannot count a roll of bills accurately. will avail herself of the slightest technicality to cheat a creditor, wilt rush into lawsuits and perjure herself on the witness' stand, and, second, because in a suit instituted to recover money from a woman any jury will take the woman's part, without considering either the law or theevi/dence.

Such a condition of things seemed to call for investigation, and investigation shows that while individual firms or corporations may have been discovered which have put, as they have aright to put, certain limitations on their transactions, yet men in general will certainly adopt, and maintain only such business rules as are profitable.

A LAWYER'S EXPERIENCE.

The law firm of H. M. & D. E. Meeker, of Brooklyn, are counsel for tho Williamsburg Savings brink, and transact besides a considerable real estate and investment business for private clicnts uiul for estates in trust. Speaking from such wide experience, an attorney of the firm said that in Now York state at least no discriminations between jiersons was made by corporations or others loaning money. In tho case ol' a contract to perform certain obligations, tho lirm would prefer to deal with a man rather than his wife, for inbut the preference was not too strong to yield at oneo to tho slightest contrary reason. In many cases tho woman bad the better business or moral KOIIMJ of the two, and in such cases tho firm would unhesitatingly prefer to transact any legal business witli her. Bo far as the bank was concerned, probably in* majority of its depositors, as v.-ell as a large proportion of those obtaining.its loans, were women, and in its expcrienco womon woro quick to learn business forms and rules, and willing to conform to them. Women wen» coining more and more into responsible business relations every day, and thoy were as steadily proving that, they were no more devoid ol business sense or fretful under business obligations than men. They wore no more prone to rush into litigation than men, perhaps less BO, and in cases involving property rights juries would not favor the woman's side unduly.

Miss Agnes IC. Murphy, New York's woman real estate agent, who is the pioneer member, girl that she is, of her sex in live Heal Estate exchange, and whose sign is ono of the forty-four that tho 1,121 members have voted to allow to adorn the walls, has never hoard of a business man who boycotted women. At the Emigrants' Savings bank, and in other business houses, she has met men who assured her they would rather deal with her than with most men. As a business woman she hns been treated with such general courtesy by tho other sex that sho says, with a modest little smile, thoy may some time make her vain.

She acknowledges, however, that tho infantile ignorauco of many womon of business .alfairs is frequently a cause of serious anuoyanco, and that when a broker has sent an appraiser to value a piece of property prior to taking a mortgage ho does not always receive tho news with entire equanimity when the woman, after subjectiug him to expense nnd trouble, discovers that she didn't know her own mind and doesn't want to mortgage her land alter all. ono

BUSINESS.

"As an illustration of the business ways of some women," continued tho brown haired •and bright eyed broker, "take the case of two who were hero this morning. They were educated and refined ladies ami had inherited a pioceof property worth about $1),000 in conjunction with their brother. This they entered Into a ninety days' contract to sell, and before the expiration of the jwriod tho tax for 1SSIMX) was confirmed. Tho shnro of each woman was $T.oU, this they absolutely refused to pay, declaring that it was some contrivance of their brother's, and that he was trying to defraud them, and, being wholly unable to understand that under tho contract ho tax payment fell on tho sellers, they actually threw up the bargain. One lawyer left, swearing that he would sue for partition of the property tho purchaser left threatening to bring suit for damages, he having raised money from a buildiug and loan association to conclude the transaction, and •everybody turned round on me and said, 'That's what, comes of dealing with women.' "But," went on Miss Murphy in a consolatory tone, "women do not monopolize ignorance by any means. It is no loug timo since

I bought a piece of property as agent for a man who is highly successful in his own business line. When tho purchase was to be concluded ho objected to paying over his money unless he could walk away with the deed then and there,, 'But,' I said, 'this deed must be recorded it will be six weeks before you receive it.' 'Then,' said he, 'for all that timo I shall hnvo nothing to show for my money.' 'It is not possible,' I asked him,

you don't understand the record of a deed?' 'The last .time I bought laud,' bo answered, 'I didn't pay f-or it until the lawyer had the deed recorded and it was ready for delivery to me.' 'That is impossible,' I told hiiu 'there is no person who would let the title to land pass away from him before receiving the consideration.'"—New York Mail and Express.

AoM-Ktadng Societies for Women,

There is one joke on women, whieh appears in the same column with the mother-in-law and spring bonnet business, which is tillable and well aimed. This is in regard ue foolish habit of kissing which prevails

instill Iwie ajRrn

Ing women. It is hard to see why it is done. If you ask women about it, one in four will, tell yon that she does not like it and would like to drop it, but that "they expect it, yon know." Indeed, so tar has the objection to indiscriminate kissing among women gone that there are anti-kissing societiw in many placw the womm who belong pledging "theoedres not to kiss anj woman in public, and only those whom they really oare for in prtTafc*. —The Housekeeper.

Fine and Needles.

Nearly one-half the 487 doctora of meditoe of Boston university ar* women. In a tete-a-tete a woman speaks in a load tone to the she is indiffarent to, in a low tone to the man she begins to love, and keeps tfhnt with the one sbe love*.

A. young woman of Crespent City, CaL, picked np a large pebble on the beach some month or two since, and sent it to a lapidary in San Fran&sco. He pronounced

This is what they say New York women drink when they come in out of the cold: Half a glass of boiling water, two lumps of sugar, a glass of (flaret and a very small amount of cocoa.

Window Strips.

Very frequently window sashes are loose enough to admit quantities of cold air into what would otherwise be a warm room. To remedy this, cut strips of felt, woolen cloth or flannel about an inch and a half in width. Fasten the lengths together by lapping the end of one strip an inch over the end of another that it may lie flat, and sewing the two pieces together. Use very slender, small tacks to fasten the list on the window frames. Do not tack the strips to the window sash, but

place

the strips so that half their width will lie over on the sash, while the other half is tacked on the edge of the window frame.

In this way the cracks will be covered, and the window can be opened and closed without difficulty. Should the cold air come in between tho upper and lower sash, a strip of list cut the length of the width of the sash can be tacked across on the top edge of the lower «nah BO that the list will extend over on the edge of the upper sash, and cover tho crack, while it will not interfere with the moving of the window sashes. A room protected from the cold by means of these weather strips is always appreciated during the winter months, and with the coming of spring the small tacks can readily be removed, and the strips taken off and packed away for the next season.—Montreal Star.

How She Cured Frowning.

A great many oarnest thinkers of a nervous temperament fall into the habit of scowling when thoy read, write or talk seriously. This causes two little perpendicular lines to plow in between the eyes, and ages the face ten years.

It is a habit almost impossible to correct, once formed, as it is done unconsciously by a groat many young people. Even in sleep their brows will be drawn together in this malicious little frown, that is the aider and abettor of age.

A bright, studious young woman still in her early twenties, found herself tho victim of this scowl, which had already made two Ono hair linos in her white brow. She set herself to work to cure the habit by setting hor mirror before her face when she read, wrotoor studied but as this distracted her attention from her work, she finally placed a ribbon band tightly across hor brow, tying it in a knot at the back of her head, and at night she slept in tho band.

After sevoral months the little hair linos disappeared from hor pretty forehead, and sho is qiiito cured of tho disfiguring habitNew York Journal. •••.•*«-•

Exploded Notions.

Thoro are a good many notions long exploded. Nobody believes, for example, r,bat all women wear tight shoos.

That tho children of fashionablo people are not well taken caro of. Thut all boardiug house tables aro bad.

That all womou wear tight stays. That all women lay the seeds for rapid consumption by getting their petticoats wet on rainy days.

That all womon are jealous of each other. That all women are underpaid. That all mince pies are indigestible. That a little candy is unhealthy. That a fruit diet will save your body and soul.

That your way is the right way, and mine (s the wrong. Nobody believes any of these things, except the people who live such narrow lives that they think.nothing good can come out of Nazareth.—-New York Sun.

William Morris' Daughter.

Miss May Morris is tufning her great talents in design and embroidery to good account, having already successfully started a regular business at Hammersmith, where she receives orders for work, and iusures regular employment to a certain number of other ladies who assist her. Miss Morris, like her father, is a strong believer in the practical socialism that assigns to all laborers and producers a personal share in tho profits of work, and is evidently doing her best to promote the cause of women's industry in thus assisting those of her own sex to earn a living, by means of remunerative and agreeable occupation, so happily revived in our day.— London Letter in Woman's Cycle.

A letter to "Pap* in He»v*u." Postmaster Browning and his helpers in the Camden postoffice grew very grave last night when from out of a heap of letters from tho drop box in the office there was taken one little white envelope, soiled and crumpled, and inscribed in lead pencil: "To my papa in Heaven." Tho little missive, bearing no postage stamp, was opened by the postmaster himself. It was on a scrap of writing paper, in a childish scrawl, with mistakes erased with a wet finger. It read: "Dear papa is up in heaven and I am going to rite to papa I know how glad he'll be to g«st a little letter ritten all by me by his little girl."—Philadelphia Record.

Petroleum Detergent.

Attention has been drawn recently to the *Wraing effect of petroleum on soiled clothes. The best way to employ it is to fill an average boiler, say of fourteen gallons, with water, adding half a pound, of soft soap, and when all is boiling thoroughly pour in ono and a half tabkspoonfub of petroleum. Then pot in the clothes and boil them for half an hour before lifting them out, and rinse them in several waters. A little mors soap, water and paraffins should be added to up for loss as successive lots of the clothes are boiled.—Herald of Health.

WE WANDER BACK TO HOME.

Tbe world's wide path, a shining way May open as we go, With picture, scene, and colors gay,

From fickle fancy's flow But as from way, once grand and cheer, There fades each brilliant chrome, The eye, afar through filmy tear,

Will wander back to home. When friendships wane—once leal and true— And coldly glimmer where The skies have lost their deepest blue

To bring ^htll shadows there One glinting gleam of sunshine, then, Athwart the sudden gloom, -Will fl««H bright rays from childhood when

Hearts wander back to home. Tho' all the world should kindly greet Each Footstep as we stray, And strew, with garlands 'neath our feet,?

The path 'long life's highway Yet will the moments brighter seem, "Where 'er we, rambling, roam, Jx, &£ When lost in mem'ry's happy dream

We wander back to home. —George E. Powell in Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A LITERARY GAMEi.

It

Is Instructive and Highly Interesting and Not Hard to Iearn. The following game is instructive, as well as highly interesting, and is apt to please all the young people and their elders too.

Select a number of slips of paper of one size, cards would be better, and let the big sister, who is apt to be the good angel as well, copy on each card a quotation from' some author. Each card must be numbered differently, 1, 2, 3, etc., and so on. As she writes the verse, let the best writer among the little ones write the name of the author on another card, numbering it to match the quotation, thus: "No. Every why hath a wherefore."

The companion card will be: "No. Shakespeare." These cards, once prepared, will serve for future occasions, nnd on a rainy day, or winter evening, will prove a blessing to those who widh to furnish a pastime to the children.

Prepare about twenty or twenty-five questions and as many answers, for a small number of children, as the games will be short, nd they will have the fun of winning quickly. Let the little ones seat themselves in a circle and the "big sister" will deal the cards evenly, after mixing the questions and answers. She will then address the one to her left: "Who has said: Every why hath a wherefore?"

The one asked will look into his hand, and if among the "answers" finds "No. 1, Shakespeare," will answer, and the trick will be his. Otherwise, the question will be asked again till it reaches the one who holds the No. 1 answer.

It wili then be his turn and he will choose any one of his questions, not confining himself to the order of the numbers.

It is well to write "question" over the verse, and "answer" over the author's name. In a shprfc time the children will becomo so familiar with the answers that they may discard tho "answer" cards altogother. In that case tho

0110

who holds "No. 1" will ask his

neighbor the author of a quotation, and if he is able to answer from memory ho wins the trick. In case ho does not remember, it passes along till some one is lucky enough to recollect tho author's name, and he is then the winner.

In this case it will be necessary to have some one not playing keep a list near at hand to correct any mistakes. The following list may serve as a guide to those who have not a collection of favorite quotations, and it

may

bo enlarged or cut down at will: 1. "To all that sow, the time of harvest shall bo given."—Whittier. 2. 'Tis only noble to be good.,T—Tennyson. 3. "I love all who love truth."—Elizabeth B. Browning. 4.* "So long as you are innocent, fear nothing."—Longfellow. 5. "Our place is kept ready for us to fill it." —Adelaide Procter. 0. "Lofty thoughts and lovely deeds."— Owen Meredith. 7. "Be slow to blame."—Mary Sowitfc. 8. "King of two hands, he does his part." —Lowell. 9. "Carry learning to its height."—Emerson. 10. "Use your manners discreetly in all kinds of company."—Shakespeare. 11. "Right the day must win."—Faber. 12. "Unspoiled by praise or blame."—T. B. Aldricb. 13. "I hold it sinful to despond."—Celia Thaxter. 14. "His words "are bonds."—Shakespeare. 15. "All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a twin."—Byron. 16. "The first virtue is to temper well thy tongue. "—Chaucer. 17. "Wishing, of all employments, is the worst."—Young. 18. "There is no virtue like necessity."— Shakespeare. 19. "If you've wronged him, speak ^him fair."—Holmes. 20. "If it rains, let it rain we shall not drown."—Alice Carey. —"Unomoe" in Ladies' Home JournaL fits:

School Girls' Dresses.

When I see, as on this rainiest of Tuesdays, young girls on their way to school, I in my coupe looking out quite dry and comfortable, on the poor draggling things: when I see the long silken water proofs wet and muddy nearly up to their knees, and the clinging drip of their cloth skirts about their ankles, I will say that if I had a daughter, instead ol only boys, I would put her into clothes, on a rainy day, that would be two inches above her ankles. I wouldn't send that girl to school to sit in damp skirts and absolutely filthy stockings, wet above her boot top, carrying quantities of the city mud over the school house.

Why should the school boy have such immense advantage over the school girl in his clothes for rainy weather? Fancy "our boys," indeed, in wet, draggling skirts and tightly laced waists, doing their lessons for a professor. When will women learn for themselves and their daughters some common sense? I suppose when the doctors get sufficient courage to advise or to order, that for the usual "walks in life," to say nothing of its races and struggles for a livelihood, women ought to be dressed for comfort and strength and preservation from common ills. —Philadelphia Ledger. \'r'7

An Officer** Wife's Home.

'•Where is your homer* asked a lady, who was a visitor at a military post, of one of the officers'wives. "With my husband," promptly replied the wife. "Oh, yes, of course," said (he lady "but I mean in what part of tbe country?" "I have no hosae," the wife sadly answered. "X was bora &t a military poet which no longer exists. father and rather are both dead, and if my husband was to die to-morrow I do not know where.

Wet with Mother's Tears.

There once was a woman who naa a little son about 7 years old, who was so lovely and beautiful that no one could look upon him without being kind to him, and he was dearer to her all the world beside. It happened that he suddenly fell ill and died, and his mother would not be comforted, but wept for him day Mid night. Shortly-Fitter he was buried he showed himself at night in the places where he had been used in his lifetime to sit and play, and when his mother wept he wept also, and when tbe morning came he departed. Since his mother never ceased weeping, the child came one night in the little white shroud in which he had lain in his coffin, and with the chaplet upon his head, and seating himself at her feet upon the bed, he cried: "Oh, mother, mother, give over crying, or else I cannot stop in my coffin, for my shroud is never dry because of your tears, for they fell upon it."

When the mother heard this she was sore afraid, and wept no more. And the babe came upon another night, holding in his hand a little taper, and he aid: "Look, mother, my shroud is now quite dry, and I can rest in my grave."

Then she bowed to the will of Providence and bore her sorrow with silence and patience, and the little child returned not again, but slept in his underground bed.—German Folk Lore.'

Pins and Needles.

A short time ago a lady, the first of her sex, graduated in medicine in Mexico. As an appropriate compliment, her fellow students of the other sex got up an amateur bull fight in honor of the occasion.

Mrs. Malaprop, of Newark, reading an advertisement of "the limited fast modi," said that she didn't know that there was any "limit to the fast males."

It is becoming quite the thing nowadays among fashionable shoemakers in New York to sift either orris root powder or some lasting sachet, powder between the leather and the lining of ladies' boots. The object is mysterious. "And do you doubt my loveF' he asked, passionately. "No, George," she answered, with admirable tact "but when you say that the day you call me yours will usher in an era of lifelong devotion and tender solicitude, you—pardon me, dear—you put it on a trifle too thick. You seem to forget, George, that I am a widow."

Two of the daughters of Sir Henry Aaron Isaacs, the now lord mayor of London, are deaf and dumb, but they have been so admirably educated on the oral system in Holland that they can by lip reading even understand what goes on at a theatre. They have such bright, intelligent faces that no one could possibly imagine them to be deprived of two of the best senses.

The Oolong Wave.

The Oolong wave, better known as the afternoon tea, seems likely to result in a cyclone. Cards are flying out for teas in every direction, and tho merits of Caravan tea made in a Russian samovar, of English breakfast made in a Satsuma teapot or of Orange Pekoe made in a silver ball agitate the feminine mind. With Russian tea a liqueur glass of sherry or rum may be put in and is supposed to add to its excellence. For my own part I am old fashioned enough to want tea. with sugar and cream and to like it out of a broad, low cup. I find thut I am not alone in my tastes, so that the conservative party is growing. Very thin sandwiches spread with achovy paste or vory thin chocolate wafers that fairly melt in one's mouth are offered with tea. Men who drop in are apt to choose in preference to either of slice of bread buttered on the loaf and BK^fl^a little raspberry or strawberry jam spread upon it. As lady is in the Saxon loaf giver, it ssems appropriate for her to serve bread in this fashion, and a woman who can stand and dispense it from the loaf gracefully is the possessor of a charm that is absolutely uuequnled. Serving tea sinks into insignificance besido it.—Philadelphia Times,

Ought to Bo a Wife.

What might bo termed an earnest recommendation of a young woman as housekeeper is that of an English clergyman published in The Oxford Guardian: "A beneficed clergyman can conscientiously recommend a young lady, itween 23 and 24, as a superior housekeeper. Sho possesses two rare qualifications, being domesticated and accomplished. She can play and sing, and knows practically how to cook a nice dinner with economy and punctuality plays the harmonium at church with much taste, and can sing any difficult music at sight. Is an early riser. Knows how to drive. She is nice looking, bright and cheerful no gossiper highly intellectual, but unassuming quick correspondent and a go^d grammarian. A brother clergyman, or an influential layman, or a lady in need of a confidential, companionable housekeeper, would not be disappointed. Her commanding presence and modest, attractive demeanor appreciated by rich and poor. She has now twenty-five guineas a year, and deserves more. A native of Surrey and of a respectable family. Satisfactory reference to a county magistrate and his wife. Address Rector of Ingolmolls."

Give the Women a Fair Chance. It is a good thing, good for them, good for organized society and good for the country, that our men shall be liberally educated it li equally good that women, the mothers of them and tho trainers of their infancy, the molders of their character, shall be wise as they are good, says The Philadelphia Ledger. If education meant no more than equipping a man or woman for practical pursuit in life, it should still be as open to the latter as to the former. But it means a great deal more than that generally it means a common broadening, elevating and liberalizing of the mind, a strengthening of the character, an expansion of the possessor's capabilities of usefulness in circles small or great. When it is considered what beneficial things women have wrought in the world, what they have done in science, art and literature, in religion and politics, even though debarred from the higher education of the great schools, it can readily be believed that if the bars were removed the achievements of women in all paths which they could tread with dignity would be equal to those of men.

Extremes in Mourning.

The question of mourning is one that has called forth a great deal of discussion. Perhaps its absurdities were never more apparent than when an entire family of children, none of them more than ten years of age, were clad in the deepest of crape garments and kept in dense black for three years on account of the death of an aunt. This is actually what occurred according to the testimony of a suit over a will in Philadelphia. The g»Hira*si of the performance was further heightened by the fact that the aunt died in Australia, had never seen any of the children and had been out of the country for nearly eighteen years But she left a lot of money to the mother, who tried to show her appreciation of it by {dunging the entire family into the most pronounced habiliments of woe. The husband objected, and affected horsey and racing attire, whenever it was possible, by way of protest. All of which eventually led to a suit and furnished the subject for loug and not particularly interesting homilies on mourning, in the Philadelphia papers.— Once a Week.

A New Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL -REMEDIES.

What are they? There Is a new departure in the treatment of disease. It consists in tbe collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For Instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians celebrated for curing catanh was procured, and so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism, and nervous debility.

This new method of "one remedey for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the 111 Effects, and thoroughly realize tho absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the uso of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachB than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors.

What is a cold in the head? Medical authorities say it is duo to uneven clothing of the body, rapid cooling when in a perspiration, £c. The important point is, that a cold in the head is an inflamation of the lining membrane of the nose, which, when unchecked, i» certain to produce a catarrhal condition-for catarrh is essentially a "cold'' which nature is no longer able to "resolve" or throw off. Ely's Cream Balm has proved its superiority, and sufferers should resort to it before that common ailment becomes seated and ends in obstinate catarrh.
