both as the agency in conversion and
as a dweller in the heart Of the Chris
tian.
5. We accept the Old and New Tes'
taments as the inspired Word of God

ment of the wicked and the future 70
ward of the righteous.
7. We believe that the Deity is

day. To this supper we neither invlt'
nor debar. We say it is the Lord
j table for all of the Lords children

: people.
10. The Bible is our only creed.
II. We maintain that all the ORD
names should be observed as the

1 thought L This is not at all like you l to sit down and weep. Be up and do- ing. Be man if you are going into business.
 q got i. on the next train with my trunks, left my goods at the station agement of the biggest, grandest hotel to allow me to sell my goods and pay the management one-third commission The next morning the sun shone, my little table was surrounded by fashion able folks and my good luck began. What to Sell
 What do women who have these
 booths sell? It would be difficult to describe all the articles sold. For ex- ample, however, last summer in read ing-room on a board walk at an ocean resort I saw a white-haired woman as busy as she could be selling hand-painted
 buttons-cuf buttons, hat-pins, belt pins. miniatures and little china novel, ties for the dresser and desk. She had nothing else, and I presume 1t repre- sented her winters painting. Probably she Harmed out" some of the work, too, thus helping others At another table there were kodak pictures, postals, novelties in booklets and calendars, sentiments sold by a pretty young woman who wore neat
 
 pinned a college pin and Christian Endeavor pin She had touched up some of the photographs with water colors and was getting what I consid- cred big price for them. In the corner by the fireplace was table with laces, hand embroideries, knitted shawls, sweaters and sunbonnets. This woman had added some pretty rag dolls to her stock and sold them out rapidly.  women's Opportunities Many Other booths along this board walk had jigsaw puzzles, handmade jewelry, cf1ildren's toys for digging in sand, | rompers, sunbonnets and bathing suits, l Chinese wares, homemade candy, postal room and dining-room run by women of different churches, and many other booths, exclusive of those run by re2u- l lar city dealers.

Do Not underrats Drsss

DO dos undeffato OxeSe
 Do not allow yourself to wear the everlasting dark skirt and shirt-waist-- the business woman's uniform. Do moi underrate the matter of dress when you set up as a merchant. Human nature is SO constituted that 1t would rather pur- chase from a smart shop with smart looking woman in charge than to patron ize a slovenly, whining woman, no mat ter .how great the latter's need for help Don't Waste Energy
 Should you find you have chosen a bad place for sales, do not waste your first summer; pack up and move. For this reason try and avoid signing lease which will necessitate your keeping your booth for an entire season. Rent by the week or month if you can. Tell the agent frankly that your business ven ture is a matter of experiment, and you wish to see how you are succeeding be fore you get into very deep waters.
 If you have signed a lease, and are positive that your business will suffer by your remaining, try to sublet your booth to another tenant or try to strike compromise Pay just amount for forfeiting your lease and move anyway Do not be afraid to consult lawyer to find out your obligations in case like this. Get where you can sell your wares and gain patronage, if you dc have to lose some money at the begin ming of your venture.
 One young woman found when she selected her first place for selling novel ties that she had made a big mistake The place frequented by the Fashionable people was a few miles away. She did not sell an article, and a pouring rair almost ruined her wares. "It was the hardest experience I have had," she confessed. "I shall never forget my sensations as I sat in that dilapidated booth in the rain and not customer ir sight. was about ready to give up and jump into the ocean. Then common sense came to my rescue.

to the surface by causing an irritation, which will even give rise to blistering, if used too strong. 1t is usually diluted one-half to one-third of its strength, or even more if the scalp is very sensitive, and applied to the roots of the hair by means of a small brush. Every other day is often enough.
 do not recommend brushing the hair, for the reason that, unless great care is taken, the scalp is not touched, and 1t is only the hair which receives the stroke All treatment to prove of benefit must be applied directly to the scalp, where are situated the hair follicies. Moreover, brushing the hair is liable to drag it out. The application of the fnger-tips to the scalp, pressing it and rubbing it with firm, gentle, persistent pressure, is what is best to renew the vitality of the scalp and bring back the blood, which has deserted the capi1laries and left them to shrivel
 The greatest cause why women lose their hair is lack of cleanliness. Do not be shocked when say that this is likely scribed because of their fastidiousness as "very particular" Specialists are coming more and more to believe that loss of hair is occasioned by a microbe. Combs and brushes should be kept scru- pu1ous1y clean.
 Many hesitate to wash brushes, fear ing that the process will spoil them. Brushes need washing as often as, if not more frequently than, combs. They should be washed with soap and warm water, not too hot, and rinsed in water to which little ammonia has been added; and the secret of preserving the stiffness of the bristles lies in drying them very quickly.

 . One inch back of this stitching, or three inches from the front fold-edge of the hem, crease the material and stitch forward-turning tuck one inch from the creased edge. The work may be simp1ihed if one row of stitching is made to secure both the hem and the tuck. The left side requires hem only one inch wide, consequently this front DOT ton should be two inches narrower than the corresponding portion for the right side
 If both sides have been cut alike, trim off two inches from the front edge of the left side. Turn under one inch and three-eighths, make the crease for the tuck two inches back from the fold-edge, slip the raw edge of the turned-under portion into the tuck and stitch one inch from the crease. This will make finish corresponding with that on the right front, but with the hem one inch wide instead of two.
 The buttonho1es are worked in the wide hem, near it's edge, and the but tons are sewed in corresponding posi- tions on the narrow hem. This brings the actual closing under the forward turning plait on the left front of the waist.
 Special Materials One may sometimes have a piece of material of rather pronounced pattern on which a special arrangement of the plaits is desirable. In remodeling, a waist may often be secured from a num-

THE WOMAN IN BUSINESS
Making 8 Little Shop Pay1

"NHE rage for souvenirs and gifts. ito take home to the folks, {"
 has made q splendid opening
 for women who can make dainty articles of almost any descrip- ton. If this line of work appeals fo you, no time is better than the present to start in 1t.
 First study we'll the thing you make best and can supply large demand for. Then study localities. If you are a home body, perhaps you can start a booth in your own town. If you have the wandering spirit, branch out and go as far away as you dare You will en- joy the change of scene, the new faces and new experiences Write to the big hotels or the management of summer resorts and find out what commission or rent they will charge. Do not ex- pect they will allow you valuable space free of charge. They are furnishing you patrons and advertisement, and will expect you to pay therefor. Spend. your Look Over the Ground
 Preliminary trips are always sensible, if you can afford them. Then you can see the situation for yourself. During your first summer, keep your eyes open and learn which are the most popular resorts. Locate in big hotels, 1obbies or readingrooms, along board walks, near railway stations and in the heart of busi- ness districts, rather than in a residence section. Spend much thought (and as much money as you can) on making your booth or table attractive
 Clean, fresh linen covers, a growing plant in brass bowl or in plain terra cotta pot, your wares attractively grouped and yourself in pretty, white, fresh suit-this makes for desirable GUS tom. I do not think there is anything as decorative and attractive as white, even though it is bit expensive to 1aunder. If you decide against white, get a pretty, neat lawn or batiste, with pretty stocks and dainty cuffs.

Der of narrow pieces if they may be joined in such manner that the seams may be concealed under tuck or . piait. It requires only a little practice to ar range ones own designs to meet occa- sions like this. When a waist closes in the back it is usually with a simple hem, made thessame width on both the right and left back portions and lapped and fastened with buttons and buttonholes or buttonhole loops.
 Sleeve Closing
 The over and underlaps of sleeve closings, fashioned after the manner of a mans shirt-sleeves, while very simple when one knows how, are somewhat
