OCCUPATION AND HAPPINESS.
All women who have not home duties to keep them occupied ought to have some outside interests. Idleness breeds feminine jealousies and tempers even more often than love. The women who have sweet tempers, and are charming and kindly disposed towards humanity are the busy women —those who work for their living or for charity, or are occupied with the best duties of all—motherhood. An energetic, enthusiastic, ambitious business woman with a calling, no matter how humble it is, has not the time for the miserable pettiness that goes to make life burdensome. The woman who works is evidently a woman who is broad in her views. Her opinions are lot riveted to any one spot. Her viewpoint is movable. Her experience in the business mart gives her sympathy for other women workers. She has learned to accept every friend, new and old, at an honest valuation. She knows how to enjoy the society of people who have made something out of life.
