BEGIN At HOME

The most serious question that con-
fronts every young person is as 10
what he or she is best fitted to do.
Perhaps it would be truer to say that
the question usually presents itself
in quite a different form. What can
/ do to most easily make q living?
And 1t is characteristic of most
young people to look beyond the
home and farm and often beyond the
home community for the starting
point; and very often they are in
clined to think that fortune will he

some pursuit new to them or to their
friends and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rev and at a distance.
Now the best advice that can be
given to any young persons confront
ed with this age-long question is To
begin at home, and the next bit Of
advice is that they should take into
consideration their temperament,
health, ability and fitness.
We were interested in reading a
story in the Lexington Leader re-
Gently of petted young lady who
was left without support and SEEM
ingly without ability to support her
self on the death of her father. But
she had a good fund of common sense
Cot Of oca h,Ir
first move was to determine what
she could NOT do and the list ELI
minated from consideration was lon
one. At last she found that she could
do well but one thing-she could dress
dolls.
The problem that confronted her
then was how to make a living by
dressing dolls, and that problem was
easily solved. She know there was
always a good market for dolls and
addressed dolls are always in de-
mand. So she began designing doll
dresses and sent her designs to a
big shop in New York and last year
she received s2,740.s5 for her work.
Now not every girl could design
doll dresses but every girl can 10
some one thing better than any other
girl and if she is wise enough to fol-
low the doing Of that one thing she
can make living and often splen-
did living.
And the same rules should govern
a young man In the selection of his
life work.
