StenOgrdDherS Are But Human
Machines.

1t you are thinking of taking up
stenography as q means of liveli-
hood there are many things to
consider, says the June Delineator.
Let US take account of your
stock before you decide to be a
'tenographer. Are you good
speller? Is punctuation one of
your strong points? Are you
accurate and possessed of a quick.
dependable memory? Are you
neat and quick with your hands
Do you like routine work, and are
you willing to do the same thing
day after day with little or no
variation?
If you can write eyes" after
each one of those questions, you
VIII succeed as a stenographer.
But the girl who always had to
consult a dictionary when wiring
an essay, who lost counts in her
"home work" because she forgot
commas, semicolons and quotation
marks and was careless about the
use OF capitals, will never earn her
salt as photographer. A stem

er works up to a position of trust
with her firm. But the majority of
girls never get beyond the coveted
fifteen week and acquire nervous
prostratlon from confinement, sed.
entary work and monotony.
The girl who Is content to be
this sort of machine will find her
best opportunities in the office Of a
large corporation, like a publishing
house, insurance company, loan
and abstract firm, etc. The prepar-
alton for such wotk is at least six
months IN a good school of stenog-
raphy and typewriting.

WHEN THINKING OF MARRIAGE.

Learn whether she is selfish. You
can tell this In three ways--by the
manner In which she listens to what
you say, by the way she accepts what
you do for her. and by the difference
between the way she treats you and
the way she treats others.
Is she tickle? II she talks about
light things she isn't. Deep, she is.
Is she extravagant? Study the way
in which she protests against your
spending money on her and always ar
ranges matters SO that you can't help
but do II.
Is she a bad housekeeper? Watch
the way she dresses. II she is spic and
span she isn't. II she isn't then
she is.
THE SOLUTION.
When you have satisfied your mind
that she is all of these things marry
her at once. II you can get her for the
following reasons:
First. because II she really loves you
she will change.
Second. because II you love her Il
will be so much more interesting.
Third. because you are probably
mistaken about her. anyway.-Judge.
