Ambitious Troubled School
bow

Dear Miss Doo
am in need of some good advice.
l am, or was, because l do not know
as yet if / am going back to school,
in the second grade, high school.
When the school term was over n
my vacation had begun, l roamed
around the city looking for a job to
meet expenses for the next term.
Now, last month l got a job in an
Office at 81 a week, with chances for
Advancement. My parents now want
me TO quit high school and keep on
working, but l, who think a little
more education will do me good, want
to go to school against my parents
wishes, although they will not sup
port me, and ! have to work my way
through. What have you to say about
this? A TROUBLED SCHOOLBOY.
p. S.-Please do not mention night
high school. / want a rest.
Can't you talk your parents over
to your way of thinking? I am sure
you are right in your determination
to return to school, and IL o can
bring your parents to see your point
of view they will only be too glad
to help you. Confide your ambitions
to your mother. Point out to her
how much greater you chances for
success will be If you have. a good
! education. Show her thar though you
are earning a fair salary now for the
time you have been working you will
not be able to advance SO rapidly
as you would If you could add to
your natural business ability the
training obtained in school. Tell her
f1a+ ~. ora on~tnpd RI 0oip d q hiOh
place and you want to be well
equipped for it.
Are you sure you can work your
way through school? Have you any
prospects of earning money? 1t will
be fine if you can do it. You will
appreciate your education all the
more. If you see no way of doing
it give up your rest just for one
term and go to night school, save as
much as you can from your present
salary and then start the day work
in February. Next vacation you will
be in a position to work again and
provide for the next term. However,
II possible, it will be better for you
to start in with your class next Mon
day, as I fear IL you wait until Feb
ruary you will lose interest, and
that will be fatal to your ambition.
Try to win you parents over be-
fore Monday. I know that when they
find out how earnest you are IN your
work they will be glad hat you
seized the opportunity for acquiring
as much education as possible. 1t
will be much better, though, il you
can have their cooperation instead
of their opposition.
I wish l could talk to your ar
ents. I am sure 1 could convince
them that they are not looking far
enough into the future when they
want you to give up your school days
now, especially II they can afford 10
let you-continue. Let me know how
you make out.

FUR COATS

The long separate coat of fur for
late fall and winter will be the 52-inch
type or longer.
Side fastenings, deep collars and re-
vers and deep cuffs will be evident,
The use of contrasting fur is exempli-
fed in nearly every model shown by
well-known furriers In Paris, and the
Joining of the fur Is made SO as to
give a striped effect. This is very at
tractive in moleskin.
Chinchilla squirrel is a Paris novelty
that is being used for trimming seal
skin coats and making fur sets.
The cutaway line characterizes the
lower edge of long coats. A pannieI
hint is given by a curved, deep hem
that shows fur in a different direction
Innings are just as beautiful as ever
some of the coats being lined with
soft velour to make their warmth
doubly assured. Brocades are in
vogue and are of plain colors.

HOMEMADE P A

A useful little stand INTO which
newspapers may be slipped Is quite
easy to make and the amateur may
undertake 1t without fear of failure.
A strong wooden box of a suitable
size should be obtained, and a we'll
made case that has, perhaps. con-
tanned a dozen bottles of spirits or
wine will be found very suitab for
the purpose, and may be obtained
from any grocer almost for the ask
ing.
One end should be removed, and a
portion of the lid, and the remaining
portion of the latter securely nailed
down in It's place.
This woodwork has then to be up
holstered and covered with some suit
able material.
1t is an easy matter to fasten on
the material inside and underneath
the box with tacks, and the wood
work should be covered wherever it
will be visible.
The word newspapers" is then
worked in dark blue silk on the linen
covering the from of the box, and this
portion is further ornamented with a
border of tiny brass-headed nails
driven in close together, and the
edges Of the stand are decorated in
a like name

Wishes to Collect a Debt from

Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom
Will You kindly answer the follow
Ing question: Some time g l sent
some work of mine to some teacher
of the public schools of this city in
return for money, but ] haven't re-
ceived any money In exchange and
she got the work. Now. what l want
to kno is. can | do anything to her
through the Board of Education?
A STEADY READER.
I am sure there must be some mis-
understanding. Perhaps the teacher
In the enjoyment of her vacation lost
sight of the fact that she was indebt-
ed to you for work delivered. Write
her a note reminding her of her debt
and l am sure she will pay it. If she
doesn't, tell her the only course left
for you to pursue is through the prin-
cipal of the school. She will not let
the matter go as far as that.

From a Left Handed Reader

lie DOOh.
Will you kindly give me your advice
through your valuable column? l am a
graduate of the elementary school and
would like to take up the commercial
course, but nm rather perplexed about 1t
because l am left handed. BY answering
this you will oblige A READER.
The fact hat you are left-handed
will not interfere at all with your
chances for success in a commercial
course. The business college au-
thority l consulted on the subject as.
sured me that during the course he
has often changed a pupil from left
handedness to right-handedness, or
perfected the writing with the left
hand so that it could not be Us
tinguished from that done by right
handed students.
You have the foundation of an
excellent handwriting.

Who Collects the Commission
for Sale of Property?

Dear MISS doom:
Now, If l put my property in sew

mission, and RI one agent sells, must
l pay commission to all agents? say
mo-" but a party told my husband
he would have to pay all agents. BY
answering you will greatly oblige.
MRS. T.
You are right. The commission is
paid only to the agent who sells the
property. What incentive would
there be to work if every agent col
lected the commission whether he was
instrumental in selling the property
or not?

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF A SWEET VOICE

cheek bones, who pos
sesses a wide throat
and larynx, usually
has a voice of low
compass and quality
just as a violin differs
in tone, but always
retains the same
quality.
The wide differ
ence in the ordinary
speaking voice Is due
to many reasons:
Race, language, oc-
cupation, and above
all, to the mental ca
pacity and culture of
the Individual.
Darwin says that
the power of speech
originated in the
emotions, and he cites
the highly emotional
natures of great sing
ers and orators. Many
muscles combine in the
simple act of speak
ing. You must use
muscles in your
t h r a t, ~windpipe.
tongue and lips in
speaking and you
must cultivate the
fiexibility of these
muscles.
Emotion is perhaps
a greater influence on
voice tone than mus
Gle fiexibility. Have
you never noticed

cato tone which most
people use when they
are Mortified? 1t is
