The mode this season for mixed suits

can be worn with a skirt of a different
material and in a contrasting shade,

WAYSOF MAKING GOOD INCOMES

THERE is a common idea that, how
ever capable, a woman who is just
domesticated. without having this or
that diploma, stands no chance of
earning a livelihood. 1t is utterly
wrong The thoroughly domesticated
woman has plenty of ways of making
an income. even though she has never
entered an examination room or seen
the inside of a cookery school.
Plenty of openings exist for the Wis
iting housekeeper-women who are
first class managers. The work lies in
paying a weekly or monthly visit to
each client to overhaul thoroughly the
household stores. Things which are
required are brought in, accounts bal
anced and possibly menus made out for
the months meals. The busy worker
or the incapable woman who cannot
afford a regular housekeeper considers
the visiting housekeeper as a cheap
| blessing. -..
