IF IT WERE THE LAST DAY
■ It -..hi had Inn one more day to live—juft one brief last day—what would you
J do with it? .
Tin' few priceless hours that would »ccm to flit from you as swiftly a- homing

. Your brief, intense farewell gaze would grasp only the beautieN. the blowings, the
j"\'. the good purpoMa of life, the thing* that endure—wouldn't it?
■■' • .' • ' • » . •
The things that seem so important to you now; how would they seem in thai last
:■' Urift-fleeting day whose night should never lift except upon the dawn eternal?
Would you care much for your money then?
Would you devote that last da) to grasping more?
So, no; you would not.
v That dreadful day you would despise the money, the land*, tlie houses, the bonds,
that could only mock you.
You would m'<\ M in a lightning gleam, that you had given your life for that which
nay build a monument to mark the spot where your bones shall rut. but can never buy
virtues to record thereon.

You who love your leisure and your ease, would you placidly await that all-eclips

• * « • •
Xo; no; no; ten thousand times no!
The gray relentless dawn of that last day would clarify the moral atmosphere of
every soul and give clear vision of many things not seen before.
The. virtues of friends would loom up and obscure the faults that had given us -„
mil' concern.
I'.uijiitii'M would be forgot.
Dissemblance would die out of the kindly clasp of men.
Foul lust would not' lurk in the kiss 01 love.
There would be no lime that day for hatred, envy, malice, greed, or any other
{Mission that degrades.

Then think you that starving poverty, in human form, gaunt, yellow, ragged,

before you in procession without end?
,'";' Think you that the prisons thai hail caused you no concern could on that day con
tinue to con. 1 from your conscience the criminal-,' the fallen, the friendleu, whom
you had never thought to rescue or restrain? ,
All. that one day would be a day of {udgmeof and you yourself would be forced
righteously to judge your own life. 5

How immeasurably better the world' would be if man lived his life for the little
day that it really is!
A LESSON IN FINANCE
If American kings of finance owned the Cunard Steamship company, what would
til! ') do with it!
It to .1 i-'ir question. It naturally follow! I ikiii-.il of the balance for '20 yean of
ft i 01,-11 \.itive and typic.il I!mii-1i institution.
That balance sheet is an fiample <>f MUientM; ol a cl.-^iro to build -lowly an I
giuelv nml Milirfly.
For twenty year* the average yearly dividend of the company baa been 2.0 per cent.
Tor the lost ten years the dividend has averaged 3.1 per cent.
In twtnty yean the profits of the concern have aggregated $22,251,900, and of this
•mount |<t,240,000 went to the stockholders, and the rest went into new »hii>s and. iiti
*ji>i>vriiu nt- on old ones. It was put back into the buainettg.
Business hag been so good with the Cunard company that it declared a 4 per cent
dividend the other day, ami lot contracts for four great passenger ships, two of which
will ply between England and Now York.
It must be there are M Morgans in England, or else John Bull is too stupid to
take advantage of hi» opportunities.

The balance sheet of the Cunard tea Will company is a fine object lesson in,
finance and a rebuke to the modern trust method* of America.
THAT DEFENCE OF FLIRTING
Dean James 11. Tufts, of the University of Chicago, defends flirting ami coquetry.
2le says it Is an outlet for surplus energy, and that it tends to the development of the
Uglier and intellectual faculties, >g
Of course, he means the well-intentioned and conservative brand of coquetry, that
never passes the stage of a quiet holding of hands. It 14 fair to presume that th'
dean would shy like a yearling coH at such things as:
PERSONAL:
"Will the Chicago professor wearina glasses, on a South Side car, who
noticed a fat lady with a pimple on her nose, say where he can be seen? Ad
drew, ANXIOUS."
But that in flirting:, too. and if colleges arc to Mnctiod the reiine.l kiiul oi go*
gooism, who i* to draw the line, or t^ty where it ia to be drawn?
Isn't it a dangerous subject, anyway; and especially dangerous for a learned man,
Jirlio ha« supposedly forgotten the delicate flavor of wild oats, to tackle?
We have in this country a great number of young men who pride themselves co
feting "wise." They know little of the conventionalities and niceties of life, and they
■pend their spare time in breaking down the teachings of mothers, who want their
daughters to grow up to be pure, modest", good women. They arc dangerous— not to
the girj who possesses common sense aud prudence, but to the young woman who find)
romance and (pice and excitement in making male acquaintances in ways not recognized
by respectable society.
Those things seldom end well. Often they become tragedies. They can in no sens*
fee considered harmless, when they serve to remove the barrier that society has placed
between the sexes. You can not stop flirting any more than you can force the peacock
from displaying his plumage. It It natural for a girl to court admiration.
But to >mit'tiou and encourage the ' outlet fur surplus energy is asking too much
from fathers and mothers, WHO WANT MOUi: SAFEGUARDS ABOUT THKIR
t>ALUUTEKS, INSTEAD OF KKW Kll.
THE WOMAN WHO WORKS

In the hasty scramble among women
for something to do, the mo*t important
considerations are often forgotten. The
woman who secures employment must be

But women do not remember thin. A
young woman find* thai she must suddenly
become self-supporting! xhe looks about to
mm what other girl* are doing. Because
there are hundreds of girls engaged in
stenograph)^ that occupation i- one good
reason why she should not tempi to
enter it. There ii little chance for ,i

BrTTOJTHOtjE MAKING.
Sinn, sensible woman has said that she
would be more pleased to have her daugh
ters learn how to make buttonholes than
she would to have them learn to perform
on the piano. This isn'l poetry, but it
sounds refreshing.
To make a buttonhole properly, measure
and mark I hi' places Where the slits arc t>
he cut. About one-sixteenth ol an inch
from the pencil mark, back stitch, with
needle ,nu\ thread, all around the mark
designating the size of the buttonhole,
Then cut sharpl] along the line, from end
to end and overcast from inside to outside,
from slit to back stitched outline. Then
tin- buttonhole is ready to work.
It is usually best to begin the work at
one side. Set the needle, without knotted
thread, into the buttonhole. Hi, id the
-lit .if the buttouholeHoward you and work
from left to right. Throw the thread back
to the left ami upward away from the
needle. get the needle, in to the ma

and bring the point ot the nedle under
the ,^...hls and throu'ih the -lit as close ns
