NEATNEss GREAT TIME SAVER.
Also Considerably Lessons Wear and
Tear on the Nerves.

1t is big boon to be born orderly.
It means such saving in wear and
tear on ones nerves.
There are some people who have the
desire for neatness, but lack in its
execution. They can put to rights, but
not keep it up.

ings even in the dark is the one to tie
to-provided she doesn't achieve her
neatness by nagging and everlasting
primpiness,
That some girls bureau drawers
have a cyclone-struck look may not
argue lack of orderliness so much as
an overpressure of affairs. It is not
easy when every minute counts to put
things back in the exact spot where
they should go.
AS the bump of order is the greatest
time saver known, it is well, however,
for the busy girl to make strenuous
efforts to acquire it. It may take an
extra minute to put things where they
belong, but time is often reckoned by
hours when it comes to hunting them
where they don't belong.
Orderliness is good business asset;
the girl who can put her fingers on
notebook at an instant's notice, who is
not on perpetual hunt for pencil,
eraser and other daily necessities, who
las learned to classify her papers for
easy finding, rarely makes failure OF
her career.
