INNATE INCLINATION TO
ATTRACT MANS ATTENTION
OBSTRUCTIVE TO SUCCESS
By JULIA CHANDLER MASz.


We'll she is about as intelligent young
woman as the schools ever turned out.
Her mother wanted her to stay at home
and help her make life lovely there, but
Florence was dead set on career She
came down to me for job, and her very
enthusiasm won me.
t'She gresped knowledge Of the busi-
ness Wen. fairly drank 1t in, and / was
making up my mind that she was going
to be the exception when the obstruction
made itself apparent
Every time a man came into the ONCE
on business, FlSrence attracted his at
tention. and drew him to her like q
magnet. studied the thing out, and
could never find what she did or how
she did 1t. 1t was just her woman's way.
Il would be talking earnestly on a mat
ter Of business with some fellow who
was a stranger to her. and the girl would
be completely out of my mind, when
would be quietly shaken out of my for
getfulness OF her by calm question
about some dictation she had taken, or
something else equally as inconsequen-
tial, and that might just as well have
waited until my caller had gone.
Must Get Attention.
The very gentleness OF the Interrupt
ton and the sweetly smiled question, dis
tracted my visitor, and won for Florence
the attention that seemed to her nature
as necessary as oxygen.
'Tll wager that no man who called at
my ONCE on business ever left IT with
out a memory Of my secretary, and yet
could not accuse the girl of innuendo
or ill-breeding.
Il am just as sure that Florence Ware
could describe accurately every man who
ever visited me during the month that
she held down her job"
Month"; I exclaimed
What else" interrupted the Busy Man.
"A fellow can't employ a girl long who
so distracts the attention of the men
with whom he is doing business that
every one Of them notices 1t, can her.

The Beautiful Hair
of English Women
(Annie Bly, in n. Y. Graphic.)

(Annie Bly, in N. Y. Graphic)
The long, abundant and glossy
tresses of English women are not due
to hair tones and heroic shampoolng.
There is a general belief over there that
the less water put on the hair, the bet
ter it is; they say wetting 'takes the
life out" and leaves the hair dull,
brittle and colorless.
English women with hair rich in
color, clean and wholesome-and plen.
ty of it-have told ME they attribute
it to dry shampooing two or three
times week. They mix four ounces
of therox with four ounces OF orris root
and sprinkle a tablespoonful of this
mixture on the head; then brush the
powder thoroughly through the hair
They thus also avoid the danger of
catching cold and the discomfort that
accompanies washing, rinsing and dry
ing the hair.
This treatment keeps the hair light,
fluffy and lustrous, and is the only
thing ! know that will actually pro
duce the growth of hair.

Convertible Assets

Since man became intelli-

possible necessities of tom0r-
row, he has been alert to put
his savings into that thing
which was the easiest Conver-
tlble into the trade medium of
the realm, whether that medi-
um be gold or bears teeth.
Sterling silver tableware is
a peculiarly attractive invest
ment, because combined with
its intrinsic worth, which al
ways exists, there is the added
value of experiencing a con-
Slant pleasure in its beauty
and usefulness in the home.
Stocks and bonds locked in
a safety deposit vault have but
one merit, intrinsic worth; a
beautiful silver service has
two, intrinsic and utility worth.
Convert a little of your mon
ey into Leyson Silver and if
you have to take some loss
when converting it back into
cash, charge it TO the Joy fund
