cents a day.
Poor persons and persons in mod

said Very seldom do they keep them
overtime. But the wealthy are not SO
careful. A fine of a few cents makes
no difference. and they pay it without
comment.
Not long ago little girl came in the

presence Of other employees prevented
him from carrying out his plan, and
he fired the Moore-Jones plant believ.

The good cake baker is surprisingly
in the minority, even among, women
who pride themselves on their cooking.
Somehow the average cake is deplor-
ably dry as TO barter. the icing is too
hard or too ''runny." the filling is sick
eningly sweet, or, If the taste leaves
nothing to be desired. the cake itself
IS broken and far from presentable.
All this is quite unnecessary. Any
one can learn to bake delicious cakes
who takes pains TO observe a few salient
rules Of mixing and baking. Firstly
and foremostly, never use anything but
the best materials. Stale eggs and
strong butter may possibly be conceal
ed in other and more highly spiced cook
ery-in a cake never. Do without cake
II you must, but never economize In
the quality Of the ingredients.
Secondly. do not guess at measure

after sitting. Weigh sugar and butter.

prODer Care of the Teeth

Astonishingy few persons know how
TO brush their teeth. This may seem
a remarkable statement. but one may
demonstrate II the next time a brush is
used II is rubbed across the teeth. in
stead Of up and down. and a moments
thought will show that rubbing across
will clear the middle or fat surface,
but the edges or curves are left aosO-

always be from the gums down 70 the
tips on the upper jaw. and from the
gums I'D on the lower. In this way and
this way only are particles removed

Hints For Vacation

Be discreet as TO your companion and
your hours. Never loiter until an IN
seemly hour with young men on the
beach or in dark corners OF the porch
You may think ouch conduct is an in
dication Of your popularity. but in
reality IL will cause you to be Stunned
by the nice girls and boys later on.
II subscription picnics. sails, or Gu
chres are given, either subscribe your
dues or ask your chaperon TO subscribe
for you. Guests must do these things
to be really in the swim at a summer
resort. If fair or bazaar is given for
charity. try to think up some original
article 20 make and sell. or something
new in the way of booth. Originality
and a willingness help make time fly at
a resort, and are always at a premium.
II the big boys do not flock around
you at first, do not hold aIoof and sulh.
Make yourself agreeable TO some of the
older folks, and the admiration OF mid
dle-aged meu or even older can float
you on 70 belleship with their sons and
younger brothers
Keep your hotel room in good order
DO not toss your clothes about or stroN
! your bed and bureau With trophies OF
| wood or beach. You would be surprised
| to learn how chambermaids carry tales
and gossip about your personal habits.
II you hayR much money with you ans
