was proved at a recent contest of the
pupils of the Curtis high school, Staten
Island. n. Y. The marksmen had to make
% points or more out Of 30, and those

the girls attained this degree of skill.
The others qualified as marksmen.
The average woman does not appreci-
ate the value of time. She is rushed and
heated and overworked because she does

When you sit down to chat with a
friend, why don't you do some simple
sewing, such as finishing seams, sewing
on buttons or adjusting loose hooks? You
will need to do all these things later on,
and probably they will come up at the
very time when you have an engagement
to keep. If you are late for that engage
ment it puts you back for the entire
day. Before you go to bed at night lay
out your clothes for the next morning
See that you have clean shields i'll your

your shoes are polished. And don't
more time hunting for them than you
would take in putting them where they
belong. Don't waste your days with
people that do you no good. Associate
with those who stimulate you mentally
or aid to rise in the world. 1t isn't neces-

The idea is not to make companions of
those inferior to you That is sheer
waste of time that had better be spent
at home resting. When you work, don't
allow people to walk in on you and make
you lose precious minutes. If you must
meet them do so at certain hours. Keep
the rest of the day to yourself in or
der that you may concentrate fully and
in that way finish your work quicker
with less labor on your part. Learn to
make time work for you and you will
always accomplish everything you have
to do The women who are the most
rushed and fiustered are not the hardest
workers; they are the ones who waste
the most minutes.
