Dear Niece Jean:


Dear Niece Jean:
Yes. T. was all ready for that dis
discouraged letter. Ready, and wait
ing. in fact.
For you see, in my younger days, 1
was one of those sentimental folks who
keep a diary and when 1 was looking
it over the other day, found this

takes in my test letter today, and Mr..
NJ said my paragraphing was poor.
If 1 hadn't borrowed the money to
take this course and spent half of It.
do believe Id stop right now and
get a job behind a counter or as an
errand girl. Seems as if that is about
all am At for
So 1 wasn't at all surprised today
when I got your letter telling how Mr.
R. said your speed on the machine
wasn't increasing as it ought to. and
a comma for a semicolon, in your test
letter, and how You were beginning to
believe you'd made a mistake in think
ing you were fitted for a business wo-
man, and were almost ready to go
home and let father support you.
Instead of being surprised 1 was act
ually glad to get that letter.
why, child. If you missed out that
spasm of encouragement I'd know
right off there was something the mat
ter with you.
I've talked with a good many girls
who were studying stenography first
and last. in the course Of my expert
ence, and l never found but one who
didn't have an attack of discourageitis
along about the middle of the course.
And that one was the kind who are
too complacently, smugly, self-satisfied
to know what disbursement means,
and consequently to know what i'm
provement and success mean.
So when didn't get that discourag-

Why, even by the time you. get this

probably have come in a sunburst of
commentator and success, and you'll

Here's a peculiar incident con-
corning our business which will
probably interest you.
At the close of business, day be-
fore yesterday there was just SC
worth of cake (all varieties) left
in this store. When you consider
what enormous numbers and va
rieties of cakes we bake, is it not
peculiar that SO small a portion
should be left at the time of clos
ing shop? 1t often happens, even
on days when we start with the
largest stock, that at closing time
very little is left. We claim that
this is peculiar-not extraordinary
simply peculiar. What do yo,,
think must be the reason. Quality.
we say.

morning and the railroad executive
spent short time in the city talking
with the local representative.
Mr.. Slade said the company was not
contemplating any improvement around
Fargo and Dilworth for some time, as
they had been spending big sums OF
money at these two places recently,
and that neither of them warranted
any improvements now.
When reference was made to the
light crop in the northwest the genial
vice president said: I'VE will not
quit business just because the crop has
been disappointing. The N. p. will
remain the same strong road of quail
ty as she has always been. OF course
there will not be as much business as
there might have been, but we are in

in a dirty body, but 1t is not nearly SO
probable as to find clean soul in a
clean body.
Personal cleanliness is a subject
which depends on the training and
point of view In this day of almost
chemical sterilization it is carried to
some extremes, and yet there are sew
eral points overlooked by families who
really intend to be very rigid in their
observations of all rules of hygiene.
Take the matter Of soap. A family
cake is no unusual thing to find in a
bath room. Each washes and places
the soap, covered with the accumula-
ton from the cleansing process. in the
dish for the next conner. We would not
use each others tooth brushes, but we
do wash our hands in the dirt left by
the last bather when We fail to have
an individual cake of soap.
Then there is the wash rag The
sponge has long since fallen into dis
repute as 1t so easily turns sour, but
the habit of using wash rag for sew
eral days still prevails among other
wise very careful people. Clean wash
rags is one of the little necessities.
The girl who wishes to give useful
gifts may well employ her time in knit
tin either coarse cotton or wooden
ones. Sets OF six or seven tied in a.
dainty bundle and accompanied by a
nonsense note or limerick will make a
useful and not expensive gift. The
common back and forth stitch on
rather large needles will answer every
purpose and as the work is rapid and
simple will take but little time. OF
course the embroidered initial is an
addition, IL one wants to go to the
trouble, but in any case there should
be individual marks so that ones own
wash rag may return to its owner
Women of leisure may allow their
finger nails to grow to a slightly
greater length than is advisable for the
busy woman. The short finger nail
looks heater If the individual has but
little time to give to the manicuring
of these most noticeable features of the
dainty woman's makeup.
Clipping the hair will help to keep
1t from splitting at the ends have
little faith in singing to keep it from
falling out. The careful twisting of
long hair into wisps and after ruffling
1T, clipping all the little ends that
stand out will answer every purpose
and is far less dangerous. The fear of
wetting the hair is much less than 1t
once was, SO that we see many batherg
with uncovered heads. The greater
danger is in allowing the hair to get
SO sunburned as to bleach 1t in a dis
agreeable way. The effect on the head
of too much sun is just as 1t is on
plant life. 1t dries and changes the
color. Remember that when you play
water nymph and do not injure the
most beautiful gift given woman. If
the hair is falling try the salt water
remedy previously recommended in
this column. 1t works wonders.
