WHEN THE BOSS
SHOWS FAVORlTISM
To Pretty Face or Engaging
Manners.

Not a few managers are so constituted
that correct business principle" is by
no means second nature to them Other
characteristics may outbalance that which
makes for serene and Just management,
in which case not only the firm suffers
but employees individually.
The manager with a weakness Tor sweet
faces or a leaning toward the kind who
Will blarney him, or a tendency to petty
spite and recrfmination, is sure to do
thing or two not quite In accord with
what is generally known as good busi-
ness practice Instead of submerging
his own individuality entirely in that OF
his business, he allows II TO dominate.
Its leading manifestation is favoritism.
This Is a common complaint in large
offices, sometimes with and sometimes
without foundation.

AN ODD FERN BASKET THAT
WAS MADE OUT OF HAT WIRE

No one would know that the fern dish
was a homemade affair. 1t had all the
appearance of one of those very expensive
treasures from the art department. And
II only cost 10 cents.
A bundle of round and fiat white hat
wire was used to make the basket II

double edge of plated wires. When this

White vinegar was used in place of water.
Where weak places were shown after the
basket was dried a second solution was
added. When quite dry the basket was
stippled with gold paint. in which a good
amount of white varnish was added. This
strengthened the basket and gave the de-
sired finish. A very pretty effect IS OBJ
