WOMEN'S INTERESTS
The Evening Chit Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

sNsTEAp of talking myself, I'm going to let my readers talk to each
other, today, for a change.
A few weeks ago / received a letter from a young girl who mad
ness and seEeonsiousness. Not knowing exaety to answer hr :
published the appeal and asked my readers to help me out
And they have Most handsomely.
Here are som of their very exceient uggesuohs: 4. a.a.oo.
that there are plenty II other girls W ho can make use of them. $3.50 ~
"Sensffveness is selfshness" writes n young woman. ""Iwo ears
ago I was absolutely the most sensitive n shy person o n TN race y .e
earth, ] believe. Then / went to a boarding school and fell under "a
taught m to realize this truth-that CONSTITUENCIES is selfshness-and to
cure 1t by concentrating my mind on some other object besides myself. u
was hard work, but i finally succeeded, and today people wonder how II
was 1 changed sc much in so short a time" o E
i ws justsu u a girl Is you described writes another woman,
when L read a short article in the youths Companion which g a diff
ferent person of me. In this article a plain, old country grandmother
was bidding her grandson goodbye, as he was leaving fr a business life
in the city She told him when he 81 with folks below himself in the
social scale to remember they were folks after all, and should be treated
with consideration and kindness. And when with those whose manner o.
position seemed above him, to reflect that they also were only Just folks
like himself and family, and that there was nc real reason why re should
be overawed by them have not told this SO well al the original article,
well versed in ways OF society in which I ignorant, it has given me
confidence and ease to remember that they were just folks after ALL"
A phiosophic young woman solved the problem this way: scr
Il was a painfully reserved, bashful, sef-consdous girl You may be
and sought was M great desire, but / never knew how to begin the cam
paign. After varied experiences and many sad blows / found that my
ideal was wrong. To be liked was not enough. 1t did not strike the
point The more 1 pondered over the matter the more / realized that I
strive to be liked is not enough, tits in striving to be worthy to be liked
chat, the secret of popularity lies MY viewpoint was now changed COM
pletely and In the place of selfconseiousness and uneaaness, / found self
reliance and assurance coming. 1t was no lightning change, remember,
but it did come at last" -
Another woman suggests
But, dear me, if try to tell you the half of the wisdom that has been
flowing into my office I shall be reproved for running over my space.
So please consider it continued in u next"

Things That Kerosene win Do.

Kerosene is an unpleasantly odor-
Gus commodity. but it has many uses
that the houskeeper should know of.
Here are some OF them:
A little kerosene rubbed oyer the
nickel on the kitchen range will clean
it better than any metal polish and
leave no scratches.
Use kerosene with your silver poliai.
The silver will clean much easier.
Apply Kerosene to a burn IL the skin
is not broken. 1t will take the fire out
aud give relief.
Try cleaning finger marks or other
dirt spots on paint with a little kero-
sene. 1t will remove the dirt and not
injure the paint like soap.
Use little kerosene on a clean cloth
to wipe off the top of the mop boards,
1T will not disfigure the wall paper like
soap and water.
Add a few drops of kerosene to the
water In which you wash your win
rdows. 1t will make them look clear
and bright.
If your sink gets rusty wipe 1t over
with kerosene.
Clean the zinc under the stove with
kerosene and note the result.
