ONE BRIGHT GIRLS BUSINESS.

She was a stenographer and had risen

OF a large office of public stenographers
in New York. She was in the eyes OF the
business world successful. She had
made good.
But 1t was nerve-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 IL one must
work half the night to accomplish It.
Rush orders came In that required execu-
tive ability to handle quickly. It was

She felt that she was not getting the

see II some other vocation would not give

She had found what SO many workers

Sometimes a girl gives a glimpse of 8
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-
estlng 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 ap-
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 that is
n~ither here nor there. 1t does. Dress
do make a difference, Davy," said Bob

way she looks. She twists her hair UP

her forehead and neck. Her neckwear is
never as fresh as It should be and her
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 aver a little thought
would make her attire pleasing. 1t is no
pody's business but her own, of course.

THE GIRL OF FEW INVITATIONS.

I Only her feelings are hurt because she
does mo- receive Invitations to nice az
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.

dressed man does not care particularly
to take her about. 1t 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 he eye, not a blot upon
the assembly. A man likes to escort q
girl who, though she may not attract at

as we'll groomed n 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 ia
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 NAV
be the reason that she is left so severely
alone. AT any rate the remedy Is worth
applying to see If 1t will effect a cure.

TWO AND TWENTY RECIPES FOR MELANCHOLY.

With a beautiful physical world all
about limiting at q still more beautiful
spiritual world behind 1t. 1t seems strange
that anyone should be melancholy. But
many a man and woman is. MY sister
is getting melancholy says a woman.
We are terribly worried about her"
"Have you heard about Mrs. Blank?' in
quires another. "She is melancholy. The
doctors hold out no encouragement Of Inn
proVement. She won't do anything they
tell her." And SO it 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 1t cAn be mended,
Tor 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 Giver Of All Good Gifts. It 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 q box of
sugar plums on the mantelpiece ana q
kettle simmering on the hob. Others
suggest as a cure for melancholy to keep
some humorous story handy and dip into
1t regularly once a day. The works Of
Mark Twain, o Kendrick Bangs n
Jerome K. 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 nave even prescribed pretty
new clothes for the melancholy woman.
These cures are all little things. as you
