ONE BRIGHT GIRLS BUSINESS.

She was a stenographer and had risen
from an office position to the full charge
of a large Office of public stenographers
in New York. She was in the eyes of the
cuisines world successful. She had
made good.
But 1t was ne~rve-racking work. She
had many girls under her, for the result
of whose work she was responsible. She
had long hours. for work must be done
when promised. no matter if one must
work half the night to accomplish 1t.
Rush orders came in that required execu-
tive ability to handle quickly. 1t was
rush and strain all the time.
She felt that she was not getting the
full measure of life as it should be lived.
She wanted something else in ife's cup
besides work. So she cast about her to
see If some other vocation would not give
more real living in the doing of it's tasks.
She had found what so many workers
find who must board in large cities, a
dearth Of really comfortable homes, with
appetizing, nourishing food, at moderate
cost. Here she decided was a field for
profitable venture. But she didn' jump
into it without preparation. She began
studying domestic science, food values, the
chemistry of food, and when she did take
up her new work she brought to 1t not
only her business training, but a scientific
knowledge Of it's requirements.
The result is, of course, success. 1t
couldn't be otherwise. Her house is full.
Her dining room Is overlooking with
table boarders. She turns applicants away
every week. There are business people
who actually live In the section where she

Sometimes a girl gives a glimpse Of a
wound that rankles In the fact that she
receives few invitations. Sometimes a
girl frankly states her complaint against
fate and wants to know the reason why.
Again a girl makes no sign but by inter-
esting herself In other things tries to
make up for the lack Of participation In
Jolly affairs which she sees other girls
enjoying to the full.
There are many reasons as to why some
girls do not receive invitations. Some APP
ply to one girl, some to another. But one
reason that applies to many and which
may be very much of a surprise to these
same girls is the matter of dress; not Of
fashionable or expensive dress, but of
simple, neat, attractive dress.
1t may not be just that dress plays so
important a part in life, but hat is
n,ither here nor there. 1t does. Dress
do make a difference, Davy," said Bob
Acres and Bob Acres knew what he was
talking about. A girl is wise to take
cognizance OF the power of dress.
A clever girl, a college graduate, is one
OF those who receives few invitations. But
hostesses are shy OF her because of the
into a doorknob behind, no crime If it
were not that struggling ends hang about
her forehead and neck. Her neckwear is
never as fresh as it should be and her
s~hirtwaists copy her neCkwear. One
wonders where she gets the hats she
wears. Nothing about her costume ever
harmoniZe. 1t looks what 1t is, a thought
less and ~haphazard collection. The same
money combined with even a little thought
would make her attire pleasing. 1t is no.
body's business but her own of course.

Is located that they may take table board
with her, the food is so what 1t should be.
She is the picture Of health. Her health
Is far better, she says, than when she did
ofhce work. She Is making more money.
Her time is her own and she has a pleas
ant home life. To see her one would say
she Is not more than p, so 1.-THE is her
figure, so bright her eyes, so clear her
complexion. But one knows from the
years she held her office position that she
must be older. She goes about her work
dressed In practical. simple house frocks,
smart, trim, happy, healthy. She consid-
ers the change a great gain.
She buys her supplies Wholesale. She
plans her menus carefully. She doesn't
go In for fancy dishes. But her food is
we'll cooked, we'll served and good in quail
ity. She is careful about the little things
so many slight. Her coffee is perfect, her
butter good, the olive Oil right. The food
Is hot. These things, that so many sIur
over, she Is most particular about. She
makes a business Of It; hats the secret of
her success. She brings to it the same
thorough-going business ability that she
gave to her office work.
Many a weary, nerve-depleted woman
In office or store could do the same. Genu-
Inc, homelike boarding houses are scarce.
NOBODY knows what the business person
wants in a boarding house or on a board
ing house table better han the one who
has suffered from the lack Of the essen
tials to comfort or health. But one should
prepare for the work as this girl did and
do 1t In a methodical, business-like way.
The ordinary boarding house will not sue
coed any better than the thousand other
ordinary cures. The out-of-the-ordinary
one is sure to lead the procession.

TWO AND TWENTY RECIPES FOR MELANCHOLY.

With a beautiful physical world all
about limiting at a still more beautiful
spiritual world behind ii. 1t seems strange
that anyone should be melancholy. But
many a man and woman is. MY sister
is getting melancholy" says a woman.
w are terribly worried about her"
Have you heard about Mrs. Blank?' in
qulres another. She IS melancholy. The
doctors hold out no encouragement OF inn
provement. She won't do anything they
tell her." And so 1t goes. On all sides
one hears of men and women who are
melancholy. who are missing all the Joy
and brightness and glory of life because
OF this depression of spirits.
What can mend this gray and gloomy
state? The doctors seem to fail with
their drugs, but surely Ii can be mended.
for 1t Is not the normal state. And what
is not natural must disappear before the
onward march Of truth, which has had
the right of way through all time and
ultimately has ever ~triumphed. One can
not look at the sky and the sunshine and
the flowers and all the beauty provided
us so generously without feeling that hap
piness was intended to be the portion of
mankind. Melancholy was never created
by the Oliver of All Good Gifts. 1t is only
a creation of our own. And what we
create we can destroy.
Sidney Smith says he once gave a lady
two and twenty recipes against melan-
choly. One was a bright fire; another
to remember all the pleasant things said
to and Of her; another to keep a box Of
sugar plums on the mantelpiece n a
kettle simmering on the hob. Other
suggest as a cure for melancholy to keep
some humorous story handy and dip into
It regularly once a day. The works of
Mark Twain, John Kendrick Bangs and
Jerome X. Jerome have all been men
toned for the purpose. A visit once a
week or so to see some good, funny play
II one can be found-is recommended.
Some doctors have even prescribed pretty
new clothes for the melancholy woman.
These cures are all little things. as you

THE GIRL OF FEW INVITATIONS.

Only her feelings are hurt because she
does not receive Invitations to nice af-
fairs and she wonders why she does not.
The hostess who invites her is In trepida-
ton as to what she is going to look
like and the average hostess will not
bother about such things.
Another breezy, companionable girl
goes about with frowsy hair. monde
script hats, clothes sadly in need Of
pressing and cleaning, gloves out at the
fingers. OF course, a fastid.ous, we'll
dressed man does not care particularly
to take her about. It may be a bit snob-
bish. But 1t Is the way of the world.
1t isn't cost, 1t is taste and tidiness that
count. A hostess likes a guest who is at
least pleasing to the eye, not a blot upon
the assembly. A man likes to escort a
girl who, though she may not attract at
tention because of beauty or style, at least
will not attract adverse criticism because
of carelessness.
II invitations are passing by a girl, let
her take count of herself and see If this
Is the reason. Let her be honest with
herself in this matter. Is she as dainty,
as well groomed and attractive in her
appearance as the girls she longs to go
with? There is a happy mean between
the extreme of style and extravaganza
and an entire disregard OF fashion and
carelessness. If a girl sees that she is
negligent in this matter and will mend
her neglect she may soon find herself a
welcome member Of the circle she has
longed to enter and whose outer edges
only she has so far touched. This may
be the reason hat she is left so severely
alone. At any rate the remedy is worth
applying to see If it will effect a cure.

Heroes Made Canal Possible.

Reid, who fearlessly faced death In
order to prove their theory concerning
yellow fever. 1t is not hard to face
death In the open, with ones comrades,
and in the excitement of battle; but
it requires a very brave man to lie
quietly and willingly in a close room
and watch the approach Of the grim

can see. Melancholy is in itself a big
thing. but the enemies that can rout II
are little. II Is a case again of the lion
and the mouse.
Try some of these cures. They are easy
enough to try. they are so simple. It will
require an effort. perhaps, to try even
the simplest for melancholy Is a disease
that inclines one to be inert, to resist
making an effort. But make the effort
and IL the simplest of these cures is Sc
iected for the initial experiment, the eff
fort need be but slight. But the dent will
be made and though the impression at
first may scarcely be noticeable, still 1t Is
there and will become deeper by per-
sistent repet.tions.
But you must do 1t yourself. Nc one
can maze the efforts for you. II you de-
terminedly shut Jour eyes, no one can
make you open them to see the sun shin

shut them to all the beauty and Joy that
Is about? Try one of the little cures and
then another and they will gradually rout
the giant melancholy that is eating all
the joy out of life.
II ever anyone had an excuse to he
melancholy it was Robert Louis Steven
son when he thought upon his health. But
he cheerily sings:
The world Is so full OF beautiful things
I'm sure we all should be as happy as
kings.
He made friends OF the little enemies
or melancholy. He looked up at the stars
and down at the flowers at his feet and
out at the open sky. He even extracted
humor from an o~bstreperous donkey In
the face Of the beauty and the amusement
and the interest in the world all about
him, he had no time to sit and brood. He
had too much fun enjoying life to waste
time in being melancholy. Open your
eyes to the good and the beautiful as he
did and you will no longer sit in dark
ness.

Eldest Son % King George, Aged Six.
teen Years. Is Highly Popular
Muct like Other Eng
fish Lads.

London ince Edward Of Wales,
and for Is years, has gone to join
his ship at Dartmouth and take his
place as c. -et Edward OF Wales.
During the funeral ceremonies Of his
grandfather, King Edward, he was a
prominent figure not only because he
is heir to The throne but because he is
highly poplar.
A typical Anglo-Saxon lad Is Prince
Edward, 10 called the duke Of Corn
wall, and soon to be formally made
the prince OF Wales. He is fair haired.
blue eyed and sturdy of limb; the pic
ture of health, strength and good tenn
per.
From babyhood he has been popu-
lar. His doings and sayings have
been chronicled, and half the mothers
of England put their son into white
sailor suits like those chosen by the
princess Of Wales for her on. Yet
admiration does not seem to have
spoiled him at all. He is still a frank,
simple English boy with a bright
smile, a pleasant manner and an in
fictitious laugh.
Not only is Prince Eddie a public
favorite but he is a hero in his own
family. His three small brothers and
one sister look forward to his holidays
as festive occasions. His father and
mother, King George and Queen Mary.
although they are rather strict with
their children as a rule, often relax
discipline for their oldest son and are
as proud of him as any middle class
parents of their first-born.
Even at school Prince Edward Is
popular, and one has to be more than
a prince to be a favorite at an Eng
lish school. One has to be an all
round expert at games and sports, a
generous, ~open-handed good fellow
with plenty of courage and a love of
fair play.

Controlled NeWspaporo,

The Atchison Globe says that no ~
vertiser has yer tried to control it, -
itorial policy, the remark being oooD
stoned by the charge often made nowo
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe Is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does q great deal Of ad>
vert;sing is more interested in the cir.
culation department OF a newspaper
than in the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he Is salts
fed, and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own. and he isn't trying to shoul-
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled BY
people outside Of the editorial rooms,
and a good many OF them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising thai
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern Is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice Of
such newspapers is always raised In
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by it's owner, and he
Is supposed to be In duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts OF
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
Just to show that he Is free and indie
pendent. II he shows q decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is q business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The e
chants are expected to have considers
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t Is a funny com
bination when you think It oveI.-
