THE ACQUIRING
OF CLEAR SPEECH

Now, how are people to break them
selves Of faulty enunciatlcn? Simply by
taking time. In this country We are en-
couragcd to do things in a hurry To be
busy, that is, to be rushed, has been so
long an ideal with us that eveo IL we real
ly aren't busy we have acquired the habit
OF doing things In a busy way-that Is, a
hurried way. We attend to trifies hur-
riedly. We even speak hurriedly when we
have plenty of time. Moreover, II is so
credible in the general estimation to seem
busy that many people with plenty OF lei
sure pretend to be busy. and dishonesty
say they are busy, and act as If they
were busy, and talk with the breathless
hurry OF people rushed to death, says
John ID. Barry in Harper's Bazaar. II is
very curious, this ideal OF seerning TO be
rushed as IL II were good in itself and
not misfortune, a state to be guarded
against both for ones own comfort and
for the sake of not annoying people about
US -Repose, quiet, poise. the easy balance
OF ones mental and physical qualities,

people, we can learn to arrange what
is going on in our minds add to express
IL in clear speech. So IL we decide to try
to speak well, we must accept this ideal
And relax from the tension with ',hich
most of us hold ourselves. When we ex-
press ourselves we shall then express not
hurried or an harassed oeing, but a
nature calm ard rational. Instantly many
OF our faults of diction will straighten
themselves out, and we shall find our
task of clear-speaking astonishingly light
ened.

The vogue OF the jumper skirt is
now so thoroughly established that no
up-to date feminine wardrobe can be
considered complete without one or
more of these eminently practical gar
ments. The skirt, which is of the
seven -gored variety. is OF especially
attractive shaping. the arrangement of
side plaitings. stitched as far as the
hips providing becoming -fallHess- at
the hem without adding bulkiness to
the waist. The decoration consists of
trimming band stitched around the
bottom. But however, band of RIB

braid may be substituted IL preferred.
A unique addition to the bretelle ect
is the Japanese sleeve, which may be
used or not, at the makers discretion.
The skirt is fashioned OF polka-d dot
pongee. but taffeta, shan tung, foulard
or any OF the modish wash materials
would provide an attractive develop
ment. For the medium size IL yards
of 27-inch goods are required.

WHEN SUCCESS
SPELLS FAILURE

Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or individual happi-
ness, and, on the whole, business life
makes for restlessness. selfshness and
discomfort. You cannot measure the infu-
ence OF business on the woman by figures
or statistics. You cannot count wrecked
lives among women wage-earners as you
can tally off divorce cases on court calen-
dars. and trace them to certain causes.
such as incompatability, desertion, cruel
ty etc. You cannot say that a woman In
business is failure or success according
to the salary she draws. You cannot ex-
pect the trim. self-contained girl at your
elbow to admit that her perfectly ap-
pointed little apartment. her perfectly
trained maid her perfectly ordered life OF
dinners. clubs, theatres and opera parties
spells failure. She says she Is a success
In her heart she knows that when the
last guest has gone and the trim little
maid has been dismissed thea exquisitely
appointed little apartment becomes a
whitened sepulchre In which the starved
soul of the woman sits alone weeping

Butter in Irish Bog

From time to time Jumps Of butter are
dug out of the Irish bog, and specimens
of II may be seen In various museums. A
chemical examination has recently been
made at Messrs. Radcliffe and Maddocks
OF a sample of such butter, which was
found four feet below the surface Of a
bog at Maghery county, Tyrone. The
original lump, which weighed about 20
pounds. is notably some centuries old, and
II is suggested that II had been put into
peat water to preserve 1t, or to give 1t a
flavor, and had then been forgotten.

WOMAN ALWAYS
SELF-SUPPORTING

II the people OF today who have so
much to say about the self-supporting
woman would only stop and think a
little, they would realize that, in vari-
Gus ways. women have supported
themselves since the earliest period.
Didn't she hew wood and till the
soil to gain her bread and butter when
there was no man to provide 1t for
her?
And didn't she often do the same
thing in preference to depending on
a man. even when there was one to
work for her? Think of how she used
the spinning wheel to weave material
for stockings, capes. dresses and even
hats, having her husband take these
to town to sell or exchange.
Nothing was too hard for the pioneer
woman.
she split rails, made candles. sewed
and baked and earned money in count
less other ways.
The old teapot or sugar bowl on
| the pantry shelf was never quite with
out the jingling coins earned by her
| own hands.
| Does the woman of today do any
more?
| She may have different kind OF
work to do, but does she earn her
own living any more than did her
Il Breat SrandmOtner!
| True, her great grandmother stayed
at home, while she often lives by her
self. but as far as money making is
concerned there Is little difference be-
| tween them
We love to picture the woman OF
a few generations ago as clinging
vines. too delicate to even know how
to help themselves.
Perhaps this is true of the chosen
ones who had no need OF self-earned
money. but the great majority, your
ancestors and mine, were well able TO
support themselves and proud of that
ability; so the woman OF today might
as we'll get rid of the idea that she Is
doing something new and wonderful
in earning her own living.
