Girls and the
Business World

There is something so alluring in the
business world that most women who
are really very enthE siastic workers
never care TO get away from the fascin-
atsion Of the work, especially II the
duties are pleasant. Many young women
in business. who afterward marry, al
ways speak regretfully OF having TO
leave the business world 70 be alone in
a home OF their own. Undoubtedly work
Is hypnotic to many. Only a few days
ago there was a young woman lament
ing the fact that il was possible she
would have to give up her position since
the oil field on. her fathers farm was
good for hundreds Of dollars per day
and ti,ere was really no necessity FOR
her working for SIG a week. She said
she cared little for the money, though
she liked 10 be where other girls wete
working. There Is young woman REo
Is married 10 a travelling salesman,
though no one, or At least, only a few
know It, and she prefers the business
world TO going 10 housekeeping and
keeps steadily at work. though a change
may come at SOME time. Every one
thinks she Is single though in reality she
is just a happy little wife with a secret
of her own and a tremendous love for
her work. Often the business girl is
valuable TO the man she nnarries II she
happens to have any, knowledge OF his
work. and IL willing to assist with the
business In which he is engaged, she can
be a co-worker often holding a re-
sponsible position which could not safely
be given to a stranger The business
world may have its pecul&. features

The Hat as Worn in Paris

The hat. as It is worn I'm Paris-that

lean woman, writes a Paris correspond

Hardly ever have the hats here been
more ridiculous-at least IN the way
they are worn. The more eccentric a
hat is. the better, and specimens one
would have to be paid TO wear under
ordinary circumstances suddenly &C
quire the greatest attractive power
This evidently happens 10 hundreds OF
Americans in Paris Americans have a

small dog harmonizes with a big hat
Il is evidently bad form 70 have large

There is the hat with eyes. That is,
the one with the two big hatpins. These
eyes are sometimes very pretty-soft
black on mourning hats. or a nice shade
OF brown with a becoming straw. When,
however, the crown or trimming Is of a
queer cerise red. and the pinheads are
OF light, uncanny yellow. the effect
is less successful
Then there is the mushroom hat.
Nothing can be more becoming to a
pretty face and well-dressed hair. But
can anything present 2 more dilapidated
appearance than the same on the head
of a careless person?
Also one must not forget the hats OF

again. Tie ribbon has been hastily

from contemplating these various

in Florida sand. To watch the
sprouting leaf, the unfolding blossom,
the ripening fruits there to the true
lover of nature any greater pleasure?
What said Cicero:
Il follow nature as the truest guide
and resign myself to her sacred ordi-
nances with implicit obedience"
And William Cullen Bryant:
ITO him who in the love Of nature
holds communion with her visible
forms, she speaks a varied language;
for his gayer hours she has voice Of
g1adness, and smile, an eloquence OF
beauty; and she glides into his dark
er musings with mild and healing
sympathy that steals away their sharp
ness ere he is aware"

Thus far only the practical work
and results of the building up of an
ideal Florida home have been given.
They are the foundation of the struc-
ture The results are of a nature to
please the one looking to the profit
as we'll as the pleasure. When these
$50 trees all come into bearing along
with the contents of the pinery, then
it will be seen that the laborer has
his reward and that nature has been
kind to her votary, and he can "sing
the harvest home with cheer, since
abundance crowns the year"
But. as L once wrote, all this is the
practical part of the plan for Florida
home. Where does the ornamental
