HOW TO SUCCEED.
When You Go to Work Take the
Whole Man to the Task.

When You Go to Work Take the
whole Man to the Task.
Only fresh, spontaneous work really
counts. If you have to drive yourself
to your task, II you have to drag your
self to your work every morning be
cause Of exhausted vitality, If you feel
tagged or worn out, If there is no elias
ITCHY in your step or movements, your
work will partake Of your weakness.
Make it rule to go to your work ev-
cry morning fresh and vigorous. You
cannot afford to take hold of the task
upon which your life's success rests
with the tips of your fingers. You can
not afford to bring only fraction Of
yourself to your work. You want to go
to it whole man, fresh, strong and
vigorous, so that it will be spontane-
Gus, not forced; buoyant, not heavy.
You want to so to your work with Gre
alive energy and originality-possessed
Of a strong. powerful individuality. II
you go to it with jaded faculties and a
sense Of lassitude after a nights dissi-
patton or loss Of sleep, it will inevita-
bly, suffer. Everything you do will
bear the impress of weakness, and
there Is no success or satisfaction in
weakness.
This is just where great many peo-
pie fail-in not bringing all Of them
selves to their task. The man who
goes to his task with debilitated energy
and low vitality, with all of his stand
ards down and his ideals tagging, with
wavering mind and uncertain step,
will never produce anything worth
while.-Success.

old fight for the English crc~r be-

abloom with roses-red roses and
white; in the eastern part Of the
State where the Republicans predomi-
mated, the red; in the middle and west
where Democratic sentiments prevail
ed, the white.
At the beginning OF the campaign All
had the bigger reputation He had
been a Republican leader before he
was twenty-one. He was accounted a
man Of profound knowledge. He was
a hard student. and as an orator was
master OF n certain hard bitter sar-
casm. which while It appealed to the
head did not tend 10 win the heart in
the heat OF a political campaign. Bob
had been q Democrat always. but had
never been much thought Of for his

they certainly made a statesmen OF

stu others seem 10 hitch into the chair
as though they were not comfortable
Very few. indeed. sit down we'll.
Here are the principles Just as I
learned them in Paris from a school
OF acting which p-etends 10 be the
superior OF the delsarte. To begin with.
select your chair well
II you are short choose 2 Ilttle chair.
don't perch upon a high stool with vour
leet dangling II You are tall take
high chair. Tai women usually sit
upon the smallest chair IN the room in
the effort 70 look little smaller. and
short women sit on high chairs hoping
20 look little taller.
Both methods are wrong. Sit upon a
chair that suits you naturally. a tall
chair x you are tall. a little chair II
you are little. Trust 10 your grace FOR
the rest.
Don't try TO sit down in your chair
TOO soon: that means that you will land
on one side Of the chair and look awk-
ward on the other hand. don't sit all
over the chair by throwing yourself into
ii with abandon
''sit down in the middle OF the chair
When You go 10 seat yourself be care
fuL Here Is where the trouble comes
You lose your balance and fall into the
chair.
That is a great mistake. Bend
slightly, but DO not double Up. And.
when you bend. manage to throw all
your weight upon one foot.
This gives you the other to fall
back upon. Practice throwing your
weight all on one foot as you seat
yourself. and you will see the point. 1t
is the secret OF being graceful. All
actresses do IT
When once you are seated. don't IoIl.
We teach our small charges to sit
rather stifiy upright. Just touching the
back Of the chair. We never let them
lean forward or TO one side.
And. OF course. We do not let them
double one foot under them Doubling
tCNA AtF-rS-tAilQtL you means temporary
comfort for the short girl. for it makes
her a little higher. But It is a very
ungracefuI thing to do
I'VE teach our little miIIonairess
how to en-er the room, how TO bow and
be seated; and then we teach her some
thing about tea pouring. We show her
how 10 lift the teapot and pour II with
out nervousness. and we show her how
10 manage the tea tray. The hostess
who cannot pour cup Of tea and
sweeten it without embarrassment can
never hope to shine in society.
we teach the children what to eat
and how much TO eat. Children are
eternally hungry and few know how to
select
We teach the child things she
ought to know about salads and sand
wiches, and We are very careful in the
