TWO KINDS OF BEAUTY

All Italy-romantic as she-loved
the lace and the story together; lace
artist after lace-artist took it up,
and made it what it is.
It's marked a couple of hundred
dellars-too much for most of us
but back Of it are many weary
months of patient work, and
knowledge gained by years of just
such patient stitch-setting. Some
thing of the heart and soul of the
plodding workers is in it.
So much for one-the richer, yet
the simpler-looking, of the two.
The other is handmade, too, with
the strong beauty of Cluny enhanced
by great inserted squares of Rus
sian drawn-work, made, after filet
styles, by Slav peasants.
It's beautiful, too. but its beauty
lies in the boldness of design and
execution-unlike the more delicate
French.

Nobody can answer that question but
just what pleasures fit or unfit you for
work And nobody else knows exactly
how much you care for your work.
But be sure that your vacation Is a
real one: Get away from town-from
pie you live with. Get out Of your life,
for the two weeks, IL you can. Go to the
mountains. or seashore, or country, or
take that time for sight-seeing-visit q

IL you can't get away, do everything In
your power to make the time you spend
at horne different from the other times

teresting plans that fit in with your

Play, by all odds; cram as much legi-
innate fun and frolic as you can into
your vacation, into your life; but choose
wholesome, clean fun, something that
will make you stronger, give your work
more life and defniteness until you grow
too big for your present work, and pass
on to something better.

Now more opals are sold-and worn

The best opals come from Hungary

From Mexico come opaIs, toe-good

Scientists say that the colors in opals
come from tiny assures in the stone,

In older, times, people called it the
jewel of hope, and believed that every
color it showed was borrowed from some
other stone and carried the other
stones especial good luck with it. Opals

that of courage and strength; green

I'M living has right to consider
~lN vacation in any other light than
as an investment.
Just why does she get those two weeks
In the summer months, at full pay?
1t can't be simply an act of generosity
on the part of her employer-although
many Of them would do It from no other
motive. But it is too widespread Gus
tom-among generous and ''tight-fisted"
alike-to be grounded on other than
business principles.
1t can't be a right" Because some-
one is engaged to do certain work at
so much a week is no reason why that
some one should have two weeks Of
doing nothing-at full salary. The ac-
tuat rights" are that she shall do all
that she is paid for, and be paid for all
that she does: and, then. there's some
thing higher than simply my rights
or your rights" in business.
Why is it, then?
because employers found that en-
ployes who worked without respite the
whole year round grew hstless; that
short outing-a getting away from the
everyday Of life-made vast difference;
that interest and enthusiasm were
reused and awakened by the change. It
was working out of the nursery
rhyme:
"All WORK and no play
Makes Jack dull boy"
1t was to keep Jack-and Jili-fresh
and interested and HEALTHY that the
system of giving vacations was first es-
tablished. BesiuA the actual humanity
in it. there was hard business sense.
There Is no law that compels tit is
only a custom.
So much for the employer. How about
the employe? What does vacation mean
to the average woman in business? Does
1t mean so good % time that she will

Bend the whole body forward, without

shoulders. but hold your chest way out.
Ascend, so to say. with your chest, and

foot upon the steps will be as light as

your foot in contact with the steps.
Close your mouth and keep 1t closed,
