Only the girl who really loves home
life is willing 10 work after business
hours TO surround herself with the real
home atmosphere should attempt house
keeping while in business.
Even then she must break herself in
gradually
She should not attempt TO change alb
ruptly from the heavy meals of a board
ing-house TO the pickup fare in her own
tiny home.
The best plan at first is to take lunch
and dinner out and preare a simple
breakfast in the room.
The girl who wants a real home in
the city must go about acquiring IL in
a most businesslike way.
She should keep away from the fur
nished apartments and fit out her own
little home. however humble it's Mt
tlngs-
she should not buy anything for which
she cannot pay cash, and not attempt
cooperative housekeeping with other
girls unless she has lived with them

viii play fair In the housekeeping game.
A girl with true domestic instinct can
certainly live cheaper in this little nu-
cleUs OF home than at a boarding
house, but the girl who hates to wash
dishes or dust or cook should stick TO
the clearinghouse life.

pleasures of building up a tiny nest in

with girls pleasures or business pros
poets.
For some women housekeeping be-
fore and after business hours Is
recreation and a source Of content
ment which means quiet nerves
The business girl who has her own
little home nest to line and make
comfortable is more apt to be steady
and develop into a desirable employe
than the girl who thinks only of avoid
ing any sort of domestic duties and
who spends her money on pretty clothes
instead of for personal comforts IN her
tiny nome.
More girls Degenerate into chronic in
vaidism through boarding house exist
ence than through hard work.
The girl who is brave enough to as
sert her right to a nome reaps the re-
ward of better health. which in turn
brings a better capacity and a sweeter
and more tolerant disposition.
But IL takes courage TO establish this
home-even more courage than to en-
dure the misery of cheap boarding house
fare.
The girl in the city who has no moth
er or sister or aunt TO make a home
for her must not assume the RESPONSE
biity of building her own home. how
ever without great consideration of ev-
cry phase Of the case
She must be perfectly willing TO rise
a little earlier and to adjust herself
to a lonely life for time at least.
She must live frugally ami simply and
she must be resigned to building that
home nest very, very slowly.
The way to start a home is TO start.

POST OF KENNEL MAID
NEW FIELD OF LABOR

When one scans the list Of occupa-
tions in which women are engaged now
edays IL would seem as If there could
not possibly be another field or lane
Of endeavor unexplored by the ensr-
getic women who join the wage earn
ers from motives of necessity or choice
Every little while, however, there IS
an addition to the list, and conserva-
tive England contributes the latest re-
cruit-that of kennel maid. While tfis
is a new line OF work IL is not an incon-
gruous one. when the general liking Of
women for dogs is taken into consider
alton, and also the success that many Of
them have attained as breeders and
exhibitors.
OF course, in addition to caring for
dogs, 10 succeed as a kennel maid oi.c
must know how to treat them when
sick and be able 10 render FIRST aid IN
case Of injury.
A young English woman who sue
cessfully fills the post Of kennel maid
for a master OF hounds. says in refer
ence TO her work:

Some Useful Se@fn9
Machine Hints

The working powers of a sewing ma
chine are easily hampered by dust or
dirt, and It is marvellous how little care
IS usually exercised in keeping the
movement clean. Although oilinz is
a necessity in order to make all the
parts work well and smoothly, a too
frequent application is a mistake, and
inferior oil is perfectly useless.
The book Of directions. which is al
ways supplied with the machine in the
first place, should be carefully kept
where it may be referred TO when re-
qulred- 1t is an important point-too
often neSlected-that in oiling the diff
ferent parts none Of the holes be over
looked. as this causes an undue strain
on the mechanism. After oIling work

so in order to allow the oil to diffuse,

from cotton waste or dust before COM

A cloth or felt cover exactly fitting the

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Kill the Germs BY Breathing Hy-o-
mel Gives Quick Relief.


Many people who have suffered with
catarrh for years naturally feel That
the disease cannot be cured, and be-
come discouraged
Their failure to get relief is due to
the fact that they have not used the
right remedy. Catarrh is an affection
of the head. throat and lungs. and
cannot be cured by stomach dosing.
The only scientific and natural
treatment for this disease is Hyo-
mel, which is breathed through neat
pocket inhaler, 50 that its healing
lnedicated air reaches the most remote
air-celIs, kills all catarrh germs. and
restores the mucous membrane Of the
nose, throat and lungs to healthy
condition.
Hy-o-mei is the only cure for
catarrh that has ever been sold with
the understanding that il was to cost
absolutely nothing unless it cured.
Bowditch. Webster and Co. sell
Hy-o-mei in this way and are always
ready to refund the money if it does
not relieve and cure catarrh.
The healing and antiSeptic balsams
of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose to
perfection. and by using this remedy
for a few times each day, you can
soon cure yourself of any catarrhal
troubles.
A complete Hy-o-mei outfit consist
