what do you consider the crowning
attraction in a wife?"
The circle around the dinner table had
been discussing wifely virtues of the
twentieth century variety. The question
quoted was uttered by the debutante
with the busy dimple and a vague idea
that after he had exhausted the plea.

The bachelor who was always insist

was the sort Of smile that made you
sorry for the chap whose mother had
never learned the trick OF smiling on
her boys. 1t was the smile that kept
Dad from joining the circle around the
stove at the grocery store. 1t was
well. II was a kissable smile"
Sudden silence fell upon the party, and
for once the debutante forgot to bring
the dimple into play.
The superintendent OF a great store
had been enumerating the qualifications
OF a successful business women.
And last. but not least, is her smile

satisfaction with the work she has elect

Der of masculine opinions frankly ex-
pressed, Is Cultivate the right sort of
smile"
The word Success" in the feminine
world can be interpreted on the broadest
lines. The woman OF domestic instincts,
accomplishments, and occupations scores
along paths distinctly feminine, either as
a home-maker or a social leader. In
either case her ambition is not to be
despised nor is 1t lightly realized. The
business woman, like the men with whom
she works shoulder to shoulder. scores
through hard work, ability along COM
mercial lines, and concentration OF en-
ergy. but she must add to these virtues
or qualifications OF a masculine type soma
distinctly feminine qualities which dis
arm prejudice against her sex in business
Both classes of women will find the
right sort Of smile strong factor in
success

HELP THE FAMILY TO
START THE DAY WELL

In a household that runs smoothly one
member of tn. family has to have the
courage to be the first one up. In the
average home. fo- some inexplicable
reason. each person waits for the other
one to get out Of bed. with the result
that every one is dressing together. and
a common mirror or wash basin is al
ways most in demand when some one
else is using il.
As a consequence there is a general
confusion, a great rush to the break
fast table and a final hustle to leave the
house, usually with the remark I'm al
ways late for business" or why don't

ness with a scOwl and a lament that
such thing as work was ever invented.
Upon the one who stays at home de-
wolves the duty Of setting this frequent
morning tang1e straight. and the first
step is for the housewife to be up at
least fifteen minutes before it is time
for the others to arise. This gives her
a chance to start things going in the
kitchen and to call the family. so that
each one will be partially awakened and
waiting for his o her turn to dress.
Aggravating delays in dressing usually
are caused by some garment being minus
a button, a buttonhole being broken, or the
failure to find some article of attire which
was sent to the laundry and has not yet
found its way back to the owners bu-
reau. This is another small but impor-
tant task which the housewife must at
tend to If she wishes to have the family

sewed on. the stockings mended and fold

looked over to make sure they do not
need attention. and then all carefully put

danger of any one else using them. 1t is

health OF the scalp that each child never

those allotted to it. and the mother
should cleanse them in ammonia and

Clipping the locks frequently is apt to
make the hair coarse. The growth of the
hair depends entirely upon the activity
of the oil glands and the care with which
it is handled and brushed so that il does

Before going TO bed a Child's hair
should be loosened and shaken out in
