SHORT CUTS SOMETIMES
LONGEST WAY AROUND

Let women who have swallowed
wholesale the proverb that short cuts
are sometimes longest forget it. This
is a day of short cuts; if you take the
long way round o never arrive.
Cut to be short need not be poorly
lone with a blunt knife; the cleverest
surgeon is he who a perform the
biggest operation with the shortest
cash.
Learn to do things quickly-but we'll.
Pottering Is Q word tabooed in the up
to-date lexicon.
In this hustling world the woman
who does not "get there on an aif line
never has a chance to rest.
Take to conversational short cuts.
She who rambles, beats about the bush,
presses, bores her hearers and uses up
her own energy. If terseness
were a habit doctors would have
to order for their women patients pc
RODS of Trappist silence.
Be a housekeeping short cutter.
Avoid no-n-essentials; spend on labor
rather than or frills: get down
to q system and hold everyone else in
your household to it. This way lies
the solution to the eternal Servant
Hunt short cuts with the needle.

THIS is THE
SUCCESSFUL GIRL.

Since women have entered the bust
ness world like a tidal wave there is
a good deal of questioning going on as
to how they are treated.
Half of them complain that men are
rude. The others declare that all men
are angels of politeness.
Some clever people have been trying
to sum up the situation, and they be-
lleve that the girl to whom hats are
off" in the business world is the one
who:
Doesn't wear clothes that attract un-
pleasant attention.
Doesn't ogle every man she meets
W hen she is asking him a business
question.
Doesn't think it is clever to use the
latest slang.
Doesn't let men call her at any time
without the prefix MISS"
Doesn't listen to gossip and private
affairs, and doesn't tell any of hers.
Doesn't expect every man to wait on
her and take time to listen to her love
affairs.
Doesn't say a mar is rude merely be-
cause he is abrupt.

My Dear Miss Doom:
L am a girl of Is and am in love
with a young man several years my
senior. He asked me to go to a mat
ipee in New York, and | went and had
a lovely time. Then he called twice.
He was to call again on the following
Friday night, but he never came, and
h he did not write to me. However.
about a week later l met him on the
street, and he said that that night he
had a business engagement, and then
he asked me when he could come again,
and / said if he did not think it neces-
sary to explain at once why he did not
come that night he need not bother TO
make another engagement to call, as 1
had no proof that he would keep 1t. He
then became angry and said VERY
Well" and walked away. Now I am
sorry I was so mean.s although I still
think / was right. Would you advise
me to write and ask him to call? 1t
was the only time he yer offended me.
TROUBLED.
You were perfectly right in c~ensuring
him. He should have written to you at
once In explanation of his absence. Do
not write to him. 1t is likely that as
soon as he recover from his anger he
will see that you are right and try to
see you or write to you.

The Children's Diet.

~ ~
Are your children among those who
are permitted to choose their own diet
and who very often lay the foundation
for an aggravated case of stomach
trouble, or do you take sufficient inter-
est in their welfare to provide the foods
that will do them the most good and
promote a healthy condition of their
bodies?
Healthy children have healthy tastes,
and invariably are fond of vegetables
and fruit. The craving foe meat which
affects some children Is morbid and I'M
natural, and entirely an artificial crav-
Ing superinduced by improper feeding.
Small children need no meat what
ever. Their dietary should consist of
milk, cereals, fruit and vegetables
Eggs are good for children, but should
not be fried for them, but simply boiled
or poached, or eaten in the form of
custards.
Children should very early be taught
to reject the skins, seeds and piths OF
fruit, as they are exceedingly indigestf-
Bile and dangerous. The seeds of lemons
and oranges are specially to be avoided,
as they nave sharp ends, which might
easily perforate the stomach or the in
testines.
The skin of an apple or a pear is
very harmful, and has been known,
when eaten, TO bring on aeatc 9astritis,
which resulted fatally. The skins OF
fruit are meant for tie protection OF
fruit, and should no more be eaten thar

nut.

color, though often trimmed with some
dark trimming. The dark fabrics are
toned with contrasting shades. There
is a navy blue pongee that has all the
appearance of something very rich for
an evening coat or yer a jacket suit.
There is a golden brown pongee that
will be neat for a fall jacket suit. Next
comes the handsome rajah in the same
color. An evening dress could be de-
veloped from a good grade of orchid
pongee, with a guimpe and sleeve eff
feet of orchid chiffon and cream lace.
The girdle could be a pleated one of
made of soft materials greatly resem-
bling cashmeres and some are trimmed
entirely with black silk and small black
silk buttons.
In these days of machines overcast
ing is properly more used than any
other, for the reason that 1t is en-
ployed to finish both skirts and waists.
1t will keep the raw edges from ravel-
ing or 1t wiz hold together two raw
edges. In waists each seam is pressed
open and each edge overcast. Skirts
are finished in the same way. The raw
edges of the, armhole seam are always
overcast
Mushroom cloth is a good color to Sc
lect for an afternoon toilette. It can
be braided or trimmed with bands Of
corded silk and fiat buttons.

Another Girls Bens.

Many women wear their lives out with
constant stitching. Fine handwork Is
a luxury; take to a machine for steady
wear.
Digging is for the specialist, the
scholar; the average busy man or
woman to read at all must seek short
cuts. Reviews and abstracts are not
admirable, but they are better than
total ignorance. Literary culling Is not
the. old way. 1t seems to be the only
way these days of varied interests.
Be a short cutter in business. Learn
details; hen study to eliminate them
if you would nave time and strength
for bigger things. The swiftest road to
success has the fewest curves.

Removing Iron Rust.

HTV" HN""E'
Whenever the ordinary hooks and
eyes have been used on ~light-colored
frocks there are almost sure to be
spots of iron rust, as a result. The
very first thing to do is to rip off the
fasteners and get the rustless kind.
Then rub each spot of rust with salts
of lemon and ash out thoroughly. 1t
may be necessary to repeat this two or
three times, but it is worth the trouble.
If you haven't this preparation, use
plain lemon juice, soak the salt in it,
put it on the spot, and expose to the
sun.
If all of this proves useless. and the
garment is of white cotton or wool, try
chlorinatod soda.
