And Expression will be her speciality" the Working Girl asked again.
 well, don't exactly know,'' was the answer You see my sister believes a girl having a great many different &C., complishments, an all round girl in every respect, and so Claribel is going to study music and art and Expression, and Do- nestle Science, and Interior Decorating. But Expression will be first on the list because she likes it best.''
 If her plan is to support herself and be independent" suggested the Working Girl. 'she ought to give all her time and attention to that one branch, and leave the others alone" The Bachelor explained that his sisters idea was to fit her daughter for several professions, so that if she didn't make good in one she would in another"
 "That won't do in these days,' said the Working Girl. mounting her favorite hobby" and launching forth into a dis cussion of the ways and means whereby the Working Girl of today becomes suc- cessful.
 
 the women who york; said she pres ently "They attribute their lack of suc- cess in the business world to i'll luck and lack of education along certain lines, when the whole truth is that they have been dabbling in too many things, and haven't specialized in any one thing.
 "Jack at all trades,' quoted the Bach. elor.
 Precisely" was the reply. First of all, woman must love the profession she chooses before she can make success of 1t. Take the case of your niece. If she doesn't like music or Domestic Science, or any of the dozen and one things she's going to study while she is at boarding school, and she does love Eocution, why not let her give her entire time to that one thing? I know a girl who, from the time she was a child, adored Nursing. She used to nurse the broken dolls; those that had had their arms and legs and noses broken, and all that sort of thing. She always wanted to bc Head Nurse in a Hospital, and yet when she grew up she was a teacher of Mathematics in a girls school, and hated it above all things in life, and was more or less of failure.'
 "'Pon my word" the Bachelor avowed, ''my neice must have been talking to you, for those are her ideas exactly"
 'T don't even know your neice," said the Working Girl, but I know the world well enough to know the secret of many women who are failures. They are all ways the girls who tried to learn every thing at school and never learned any tbing-well. They have diffused their strength and if they hold a place it is very seldom that they ever advance"
 "Then you'd suggest?' the Bachelor quered.
 "That the kind of work that woman likes best is the kind that she should follow as profession" was the quick re- riy. "I honestly believe that a girl who exces in any one thing, however simple, has big chance to succeed. If she can cnly make button holes better than the rest of the people about her, she will be in demand for her labor.'
 "All of this reminds me of a conversa- ton that I heard on the street car one evening recently, when I was going home," the Working Girl said after a pause. 1.-TWO little girls, poorly dressed and Ill kempt were talking. One of them said:
 "'T'resa, if you can lick envelopes good, you can always git job
 The Bachelor looked thoughtful and se- rious.
 Those two poor little children, who even now are working for their living,' the Working Girl went on, summed up the situation in a nutshell. The girl who does one thing well, succeeds nine times out of 10, while the girl with many ac- 1DIiebnepty ,,e,,o1lv fails
