change of scenes and activities. The
scenes which she saw most were in

With these materially changed, she
lived in an entirely different atmos-
phere. and everything else seemed
changed to her. Her work was les

Why 90 so many girls leave school

THE BUSINESS GIRL WHO HAS
INITIATIVE.
(BY BLANCHE DRAPER.)

You are one of those successful
business girl who always finds a
place at the top, the Business Girl
with Initiative.
You are always originating some
scheme or plan which is to make your
work more effective, which will add
to your efficiency, and make you of
greater value to your employer.
You are the girl who is bored If
she must go along day after day and
week after week and month after
month doing things in the the same
old way, and exactly as everybody else
is doing them, and as they have been
done for years.
You want something new.
You want to originate it.
You do originate this "jomething
new"
And you succeed.
That's the whole story in a nut
shell.
You put your mind into anything
you are doing. 1t makes no differ
ence whether it is homework. office
work, sewing, or what not, you think
about the thing you are doing, and
the very best possible method of &C
comprising it. That's why you al
ways have some new scheme. That's
why you have initiative. That's why
you succeed.
Employers are looking for girls who
have enough interest and apply
enough gray matter to their work to
originate-to furnish initiative.
Maybe it's new system which will
simplify methods of filing, maybe it's
a new style of writing that letter,
maybe it's a slightly improved meth
Cd of billing. 1t makes no difference
what it is, if you have the ability to
think out something worth while,
something which is effective in the
business in which you are employed,
you are just that much more success
full. and just that much farther up on
the road to success.
It's your power of initiative which
makes for your success.

sl:j1lER WORK.:

When polishing floors make thick
pad of felt or velvet and fasten it over
an old WornOut and hairless broom.
This makes an excellent polisher and
saves the trouble of kneeling on the
floor.
To remove smoke marks from CELL
ings, mix a thick paste of starch and
water and with a clean flannel spread
it over the mark. Allow to get dry
thoroughly, then brush off with soft
brush and the marks will have dis
appeared.
When cleaning mirrors and win
dows. sprinkle a few drops of metal
polish upon a cloth and rub over the
glass. Leave to dry then polish with
clean cloth. This is the quickest
and easiest way to clean them.
The best way to clean bamboo
furniture is to wash it well in warm
water containing a gill of salt to each
quart. This will preserve the color.
Keep all pieces of clean tissue pa
per- no matter how crinkled, to polish
mirrors and windows.
Try a little olive oil and salt, spread
on marks made by hot-water jugs on
polished tables or trays. Leave for
80 minutes. and then remove, polish
ing the surface with a dry cloth.

water and thrown into sink. will dis

If a sprig of parsley is dipped in
vinegar and eaten after an onion, no
unpleasant odor from the breath can
be detected.
Carpets in rooms which are sell
dom used are apt to be attached by
moths. Salt sprinkled round the edgee

is put down will generally prevent
their ravages.

Summer Boarders
Are Sources of Revenue for
Rural Housewives

It's the time Of the summer board
Accordingly it's the time when the
woman who lives in lakeside town,
or in some lovely country place near
, to pretty inland lake, may make
good sums of money taking boarders.
It's the way many mothers have
earned he money with which TO
! educate their daughters.
It's the method some women have
employed in helping father pay off
the mortgage.
1t means a big heap of work, but
It's the kind of work which the wom-
an shut off from the outside world
for nine or ten months of the year
does not dislike so terribly. 1t
brings her into touch with the out
side. 1t brightens her life a bit.
And it makes her feel that she's max
ing others happy. all the time she is
earning money to meet the expense
she is working to cover.
For after all, the summer boarder
at these rural places dosn't want
much. More than all they like the
simplicity which characterizes the
everyday life of the rural resident
They like it better than they do any
thing which has been arranged par
ticularly for them.
And all this Is particularly con-
ducive to the ease with which the
summer clearinghouse keeper may
carry on her work.
One woman with a particularly
cherry house. simple and immaculate-
ly clean, has for years boarded the
same people throughout the season.
So certain is she of the time they will
spend with her. the requirements they
will make. the sums they will pay,
and all that that she is able to tell
you exactly how much she will realize
from her summers work at the very
beginning of the season.
And best of all, it's just like COM
ing home for the boarders. Each
year they have the same rooms, the
same places at the tables, have the
same favorite delicacies to eat, and
enjoy the same good time. It's a
honey sort of manner for the coun-
try woman to mak,,a little extra reven-
Ne with which toSI5sss5s out the family
expenses during the summer time.
If you live in the country. and your
home is conveniently located, why
don't you try it? It's not bad
scheme. say those who have.

Your child's religion Is what you
are, not what you say.
Did you ever think of that?
Yes, it's perfectly true.
And the father and mother who
would have their child grow up into
the ideal manhood and womanhood
must be keenly alert to practice what
they preach.
For the little minds are mighty
active. Little eyes are terribly keen.
While little ears are often pretty big
pitchers.
It's what the child sees, rather than
what he hears. which makes the big
gest impression upon him And he
sees very much more between the
lines than the average grownup gives
him credit for seeing. And so it is
that the mother who breaches to her
child that he must always be truthful
and honest should not be surprised if
she finds that he has developed little
tricks Of ultruth and dishonesty when

And a perfect joy in hearts hold
a joy that the world defle;
We trade earth's dross for the purest gold
