SeIf-Supporting lone for Young Working Girls

A young college woman who realized
the practical difficulties Of the working
girls housing problem recently started
a self-suppOTting club. At $40 month
she rented a large fiat for ten girls who
were working from s. to 81 a week. It
was within walking distance Of their
work, so that 10 cents a day was not
eaten up in car fare Several friends
who were interested were glad to offer
furniture which was not in use rather
than pay storage on it, and thus the
equipment cost but little. The woman
in charge of the housekeeping was not
the stereOtyped woman of an institution
but a young person of sound sense and
executive ability who took a keen in
terest in life With the assistance of
young German girl who lived near, she
was q bic to do the work Of the fat. The
girls paid in advance and from the time
the place opened the expenses were MI

varid according to tn size of the accom-
modations. One girl who had a room
alone paid s. per week. while three
girls who. by a system OF FOLDING BEDS.
managed to share one room. paid $3.50
each The girls all knew each Other,
and their common desire to make both
ends meet made 2, strong bond which
gave the place q home atmosphere from

style about her The woman with
round shoulders may put on the most
sWagger French gown, but she Will not
lCok a bit smarter than though she
were arrayed in a bargain counter COS
tune. But round shoulders are very
easily cured in young people. and they
are never difficult TO remedy in women
over 81. I have seen them repaired in
grandmOthers. The first thing for the
girls to do who wants to straighten out
her shoulders Is to determine to do so.
Will power must be exerted TO break a
habit like this, for, while round Shout
deTs are sometimes the result of
weakened system, they are OfteneT the
result Of a habit proceeding from care
lessness. Girls who are studying, wo-
men who read or write, or who are
troubled with defective vision, are most
apt to grow round shOuldered. All wo-
men who stOOp should abandon the
high pillow when sleeping. as the posi-
ton of the chest is contracted when
sleeping with the head high, and the
habit continues during the day. One
small fiat pillow is all that any woman
needs. and the round shOuldered girl
must learn to sleep without any pillow
at all. During the day she should try
to keep her infirmity in mind and stand
I'D and look up constantly Round
shouldered people rarely look up as
they walk, but keep their eyes fastened
on the ground Whenever possible.
while walking, the arms should be
swung over the ends Of a long stick

the waist line. When the STOPPING habit

Skin foods are good for this purpose,
