How to Raise Your Salary
BY DOROTHY DIX.

DO you do the sort OF work that
your employer can trust to go out of the
office without some more competent
person looking over 1t to catch and cor
rect your mistakes?
oh, you say you don't pretend to be
very fast, or an expert typewriter, and
you never could learn how to spell. and,
OF course, you make mistakes, and the
typewriter will balk and buck-jump for
you. and it's The place of the man
higher up to catch the error when you
have written "ten thousand" for zone
Thousand" in letter or that the goods
will be shipped via Portland, Me-, when
they are to go by Jacksonville, Fla.
In a word my dear little sister, you
admit that you have not mastered your
trade and that you turn out the most In
competent work. and yet you complain
that you get a moderate salary and
you'd like to study something else to do
on the side. Believe me, ! give you a
straight tip when 1 tell you that you
would make a mistake to divide your
energies and interests, and that you
could earn no more money by doing two
things badly than you do by doing one
badly.
All that any stenographer needs to do
to increase her earning capacity Is to do
her work better. The market is glutted
with ignorant, incompetent stenographers
who oan neither write nor spell, who
work with one eye on the clock and
their minds full OF vaudeville shows and
beaux. They are cheap because they do
cheap work, but the world is full of
rushed business men who are simply ach-
ing to pay high salaries TO the kind Of
stenogrBphers that can be relied upon to
do quick, accurate work.
The women who climb up in offices
from assistant typewriters to being
private secretaries don't do It by taking
up some other work on the outside.
They concentrated on stenography and
learned their own trade thoroughly.
II you want to make more money little
sister, all that you've got to do is to do
your work so well that you put It in the
high-priced class in the labor market.
And this is true, no matter whether you
are a prima donna or a scrubwoman.

The Way of a Maid
BY FRANCIS L. GARsDE.

The conversation had drifted around to
marriage proposals, or perhaps 1t would
be more truthful to say II had been
steered around to that subject, for mar
ried women delight in recalling the num-
Der of dukes and earls and miilionaires
they might have had, III 1 hadn't mar
ried your poor father, child" and UNI
married women like to coyly linger
around a subject that gives them OPP
portunity TO imply a popularity perhaps
they never had.
Il do not think" said Daysey Wayne
Appleton, that a woman should ever
enter into an engagement OF marriage
thouRhtlessly, or without due delibera-
ton. 1t is the most important step or
her life and one that should be gov
erned by more serious deliberation than
a woman gives TO the purchase OF
pound Of tripe or yard Of chiffon.
Il recall a proposal of marriage re-
ceived one Sunday night, and which was
such a surprise 10 me l asked week
10 think 1t over.
"The next morning bright and early 1
called on all my young married friends

wasn't at home; her husband was. He
had drank himself out OF a job, and she
was downtown supporting him. Her
wedding was one Of the most romantic
I ever knew.
"A third was divorced, fourth had
put her children In an orphans home
and disappeared, and a fifth, whose
husband says he really loves her and
who loves him. hadn't been on railroad
train since her marriage. But she said
with a proud smile, he always took heI

that meant so much TO a woman!'

sniff scornfuliy. Then she resumed:

You have a proverb in your language
which 1 do not believe is true at all.
II is about "beauty unadorned."
Now how can anyone say that 1t Is
less beautiful to be perfectly coiffed
than disheveled or that ones COM
plexion is better because one does not
take care of il or ones nose is more
fascinating for want OF a wee dab of
powder! AS to ones hands, l can dis
prove your proverb at once. They are
adorned the most when they get the
best and most constant care and some
adoTnment in the way OF rings and
bracelets, both Of which / adore and
which set off the play OF gesture which
we French women use to emphasize
our words.

skin soft and white. but ! do not use
il too often as Il IS very drying.
