Miss Whites Evolution.

Miss White has worked in many
spheres before she entered that Of the
village dressmaker. She has been very
active in social work, teaching dancing
in settlement houses and investigating
by personal labor the conditions of the
shopgirl during the rush Of Christmas
shopping under orders Of the Consum-
ers' League.
Not very long ago she was profess
sional housekeeper at one Of the popu-
lar vacation hotels, but that was too
technical for her creative mind.
She was for a time an interior deco
rator. "Mine," she said, sis the tragedy

Dramatizes Herself.

It is to her dramatic instinct that
Miss White attributes her power Of
getting so much fun out of life. She
is now dramatizing peoples clothes.
She always dramatizes herself. THAT
seems TO me to be a terribly necessary
faculty. l have always dramatized my
self. Whatever occupation have en-
tered, and she smiled, "they are many,
have worked out the character, just
as an actor works out his roles, first
imagining and then crystallizing his
conceptions.
"The mental attitude with which one
works at a task is a tremendous factor
for success or failure. Whether you
are to be a shopkeeper, an artist, a
cook, or a plumber, you can strive for
certain ideal You can dramatize
your part, and you will find that it
works pleasantly and efficiently. Gals
worthy was absolutely right when he
said, Character is destiny but you
can even make your character"

STENOGRAPHER who combined
"A the ability and efficiency Of
n the twentieth century business
woman with the frail delicacy Of the
nineteenth century girl, asked her en-
ployer's advice regarding courses Of
instruction in the evening-which, in
his opinion, would be of most value to
her? This is the way he solved the
problem:
He told her that after spending the
day in the Office engaged in mental &C
tivities under high nervous tension she
was in greater need of physical aetivi-
ties possessing recreative features than
of additional mental activities. He
pointed out that she had gained by ex-
perience a more comprehensive grasp
Of the subjects usually taught TO ste
nographers than she could ever expect
to obtain from theoretical evening
courses in business English, secretarial
duties and the like.
His suggestion that she join a class
in folk dancing, which would give her
| the physical exercise and recreation
which would be of greater benefit to
her. appealed TO her sound business
/ Judgment. Inquiry of the colleges and
universities Of the city revealed the
/ fact that none of them offered late
afternoon or evening classes in folk
dancing. Their classes in folk dancing,
intended primarily for college students
and public school teachers, were held

discouraging the registration of Office
workers, for whom these institutions
believed they lacked the necessary
facilities.
Considered Improper Use of Corpora

Unable to find the necessary facili-

that the corporation with which he was

organize a dancing class in the evening

use. His suggestion that dance ex
