ing was held at g Broadway, New York,
when Joseph r. PARROT, the general

TerTaced Garden Effect.

A terraced garden is the decorative
idea intended TO be expressed. AT the
very entrance is a grilled gateway with
a garden scene visible beyond the iron
work, and the background afforded by
the Fourth avenue wall is masked by a
heroic painting OF Italian villas. The
idea is further carried out By urns Of
flowers on the newell posts and replicas
of female figure in a row on each side
Of the terrace about the main food.

work is especially clever, shields being
used for the purpose on the pillars
which support the electric light globes.

Tho Science May Have Existed In

Did we learn our rule Of three and
our Euclid from India? Researches
have brought to light astronomical ta-
bles In India which must have been
constructed by the principles of geom-
etry. Some are of the opinion that they
have been framed from observations
made not less than 5000 years before
the Christian era, and IT, this opinion
be well founded the science of geom-
etry must have been cultivated in In
dia to a considerable extent long be-
fore the period assigned to its origin in
the west, so that many of the elemen-
tary propositions may have been
brought from India to Greece.
The Indians have treatise called the
"Surya Sldhanta," which processes to
be revelation from heaven communl-
Gated to Mega, a man of great sanctity,
about 100000 years ago. This book
contains rational system of trigonom-
etry which differs entirely from the
first known in Greece and Arabia. In
fact, 1t Is founded on geometrical
theorem which was not known to the
geometricians of Europe before the
time of Victa, about 200 years ago.
And 1t employs methods of demonstra-
ton unknown to the Greeks, who used

extravagant in your dress, but keep

were as far apart as the poles II you
look helpless and incompetent no one
will trust you with work Of any kind
When you apply for Il post do so In

Business men are not looking for
helpless, dependent femininity in t4teir

Dress as well as you can afford to,
but don't make the mistake of wearing
beads and laces and elbow sleeves
while on duty.
Many an applicant has failed to win
a position because she was untidy or
overdressed.
If you look capable, alert and inter-
ested, opportunities are sure to come
your way.
When there is something important
to be done your employer will say: II
will put 1t in the hands of Miss X.

Don't be afraid Of undertaking new
ventures or Of doing more than your
share Of the work.
Failure once or twice or half dozen
