THE girl who enters a business ca
reer has many things to consider be-
fore she can hope for advancement, "
said business man. Her success de-
ponds on three things namely, punctu
atty strict attention to business and
making her employers interests her
own. The girl who is always on time
establishes for herself a quality that is
Indispensable to work in whatever line.
Every moment Of business hours be-
longs to ones employer, and the girl
who realizes this cannot fail to elevate
herself In his estimation. Thus She is
not only helpful to him, but she is also
helpful to herself, for it is upon his in
terests that her success depends. There
are some girls who regard their EN-
ployment as a temporary affair that
will terminate at the first offer of mar
riage. As rule the girl who lacks good
business qualities will make poor
housewife, for she lacks that intelli-
gence upon which good housekeeping
depends"

The night was extremely wet and

An observer of statistical turn of
mind made an inventory of his hostess
reception room while waiting for her
appearance and noted forty-seYen
wholly useless ornaments, the major
ity of which were most inartistic as
well. The fever for possession of the
cheap and unconsidered desire for art
has converted otherwise agreeable
rooms into little more than curiosity
shops and auction rooms. Before plac-

Rosa Bonheur used to say that her
youth was one of great poverty; then
she would add some droll stories about
the family method Of regulating its
finance. The studio was a collection Of
odds and ends, and NJ. Bonheur knew
how to turn that disorder to account.
When he received money for his
work, he would take handful of coin
and throw 1t at random about the room.
Then In times of stress. when there
wac apparently not a farthing left in
the house, the entire family would set
to work searching in hooks and corners.
Sometimes they would find five franc
piece, and that warded off starvation.
To perfect herself in her study of ami

seeing young woman there and some.
times made it disagreeable for her, but

Bacearat is a very simple game. The
dealer and each side of the table have
two or three cards. The object is to
get as near nine as possible. and tens
and court cards do not count. If the
two first cards dealt do not together
amount to five, the player asks for an
other. II above FIVE, he does not. The
sole question In doubt is whether a
player whose two cards together make
five ought to draw a third card or not
Because of this doubt it has been ruled
by French courts that baccarat Is not
game of chance, and yet 1t is mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty that either the
chances of lettering the hand are i'm
proved by drawing a third card or d.
minshed. Considering. therefore, the
large sums that are risked at this game

ever taken the trouble to work out the
