PLAY FAIR" IN EVERY

AIS Fair in Love and

Good Motto.

ITO justify a shady business tran

ness world we often hear the excuse,
"Alrs fair In love and war"
But is it? Is it fair to gain an
others confidence and then on the
strength of the knowledge gained use
1t to the others disadvantage and in
cidentally to our gain?
Can we in all honor call it fair in
the ordinary course Of life to use I'M
fair means to bring another into dis
repute simply that We may be the
gamer?
What do you think, little business
girl who has just embarked upon the
sea Of office work, or you vino have
been a mariner On the same sea for a
greater number of years, who have
weathered it's storms and know the
shoals and currents?
Can we afford to use unfair means
to get the better Of those we work
with eight or nine hours day?
have case in mind of a young
girl who camped on the same old saw
] mentioned in my first paragraph,
fair in love and war"
She was most ambitious, and often
said that she would use any means to
get ahead in the world, "for," said she,
III / don't get ahead somebody else
will in my place, and might as well
be the one"
She secured position In the book
keeping department Of one of the large
department stores, and 1t was her
ambition to some day become the
head of the department.
With this end in view she immedi-
ately proceeded to make herself "in-
dispensable" to her superiors and In a
most despicable manner.
To tell the truth she did her own
work conscientiously, for never a mis-
take showed in her books. But If she
could by hook or crook discover a
mistake in another's work che would
report it to the person higher up, tax
ing to herself the credit Of finding the
error.
At last, through the merit Of her own
work she managed to be promoted to
the position of assistant to the book
keeper to the firm.
In this capacity she had access to
all the minor books. and then began a
life Of misery for the girls working
undo her
Their small mistakes were distort-
ed and always to the advantage of the
ambitious girl Instead OF quietly
showing the others their errors she
would take the tales to the head book
keeper, thereby demonstrating her ex-
ceeding care for the interests OF the
house.
But after while one Of the under
bookkeepers. less afraid than the rest,
carried the story q tAsar oppression
to the head bookkssper, and, as he was
kind-hearted man, he Investigated,
and, finding the tale 10 be true, he
gave his assistant the choice of re-
signing or taking her first position.
Needless to say she resigned, but
the conversation which took place be-
tween her and her superior and her
natural instinct for fairness coming
to the surface showed her the error OF
her ways.
She had to begin all over again, and
recently was installed In the same
firm which she left, but her methods
Of gaining her ambition have under
gone a material change.

DON'T Play ROLE OF
Being Mg .lDERSTOOD

LAVE you among your friends. lit
! ! tie business girl, one whom no
bedy understandsr Or are you by
chance one OF the same sort? A girl
whom sverybody's hand seems to be
against; girl whose eyes are turned
inward, who sees only herself and
who can ind no person in all the
world who really understands her
temperament, her aims.
II you know a girl Of this sort, or
il you are one Of the "ununderstand-
ablss" yourself, then let me tell you,
the FIRST remedy to be applied is to
get the inward vision turned out
ward.
It's just like an ingrowlng toe-nail
(not = very poetic simile), which
causes great deal of pain, but only
to those who are afflicted with it.
As soon as the ehiropodist or the
doctor cuts the nail and puts layer
Of absorbent cstton under 1t to turn
the growth outward, the toe begins to
heal, and very soon you are once
more comfortable.
But In this case you must be your
own doctor and turn your eyes away
from yourself and your troubles,
which in the majority of cases are
only fanoisd, and leok on the world,
take IN the beauty of it, and above all
get some Of your follows viewpoint.
That's it, get some Of your COM
panions' viewpoint on this uncom-
Portable ingrowing vision which
makes you think that nobody in the
world understands you, that the world
Is cold and unfeeling place and that
you are the only unappreciatsd crea-
ture in 1t.
There are really great many
mute inglerious Millions" who will
not receive recognition even after
they are dead, but l suppose that's
cold comfort for most of us.
Three-Quarters of those girls whom
mo one understands" are really most
commonplace mortals, who have more
than their share of conceit, for while
a small portion of this quality is emf
nently necessary, too large a portion
is only a burden to the possessor.
The girl whom no one understands
is sure that nature cut her out to fill
in some exalted place in the world,
and If she has no especial talent there
is alwaJs her temperament to fall
back on, for the understandable
girl tnvaNably lays great stress on
this temperament business.
Sowetimes the pose of being su-
perior to, and, oh, so different from
the rest of us common mortals is all
a fraud, but more often, 1 think, the
silly little girl really thinks she is
the one person out of all the millions
in the world who is different from
the rest and who should be petted and
humored accordingly.
And she is such an unhappy little
girl, too, while if she would only put
a layer of ordinary common sense in
back of her ingrowing vision to turn
it outward to see the sunlight in the
world and the kindness Of her friends,
she could be as happy as any.
Even her mother does not under
stand her, and as for her brothers,
who poke fun at her temperament,
they are really, ali, just unbear-
able.
But if you are one of these, little
girl who works, don't, above all
things, take it into the office, for in
the prosaic, cut and dried life Of the
average office, your temperament and
story that nobody in the world un-
derstands you will not increase your
popularity one whit.

ReboiIed Eggs

Eggs which have been boiled and yet
not used may be kept and reboiled
again without becoming hard boiled.
This is not generally known, but if
the egg has been soft cooked it may
be put into boiling water for a few
minutes to warm through and served
for breakfast the next day.
