The women vote in Illinois and
they didn't do a thing last Tuesday
but put We thousand saloons out of
commission and add sixteen counties
to the dry column in that State. No
wonder the liquor interests every

frage. Trice is not likely to do any
trumpeting over the result in Hi

Clothes for the Office

Suitable clothes for the Office are most
essential for the smart stenographer. A
neat tailored suit and tailored waist are
to be recommended. Girls should avoid
all loud and noticeable clothes, and in
particular cheap and transparent waists
which for office work are in the worst
of taste.
The smart stenographer should endeavor
to have a supply OF well-cut plain shirt
waists. well tailored and spotlessly clean.
III she cannot afford constant Iaunder-
ing and has not the time to do them
up herself she should have a couple OF
waists of some good dark material, and
wear these on alternate days, with a fresh
white collar. The smartening effect of n
good white collar on a dark waist cannot
be oyerestimated. The waist should be
chosen to match the suit in color, and if
worn with pretty girdle will give the
ehect OF complete dress. White cuffs
look very pretty on a dark waist, bur are
apt to dirty very quickly. This can be
prevented by the wearing of paper cuffs
over the good white ones.
All hnir ornaments and fancy combs
SHOULD be laid aside in Office hours. They
look incongruous In business surround |
ngs, and, even when expensive, are ant /
tu give the wearer a somewhat "cbean" |
Iook. Girl stenographeTs should remem- |

advise me to do? MAUDE"
Your present predicament Is an unpleas-
ant one, and the only thing you can do
is to talk matters over with your father
and brothers. Tell them that their way
OF living makes you very unhappy, and
that II thing 60 on as they are you will

a room with some other girl II they
then continue in the old way and pay
no attention to your words it is for you
TO decide whether you will lstay with
them or not. AS you are q years of
age you are quite old enough to de-
side this point for yourself. You omit
one crucial matter in your letter. and
that is that you fail to say whether
your people are sufficiently well off
financially to set along without your
help.
AS for your man-friend, he will GER
talnly not condemn you on account of
Your family, unless he he unworthy of
the name Of friend, and in that case

more when he sees what you have TO

are acting under trying circumstances at

Today's Mother

Mother OF To-day! Awake-arise!
Project your mothering force afar,
Attune your heart to the girl-worid need
The world that sees no star.
Pour out to it the love OF old,
The mothsr-love which dares and bears.
Flush out restraints, conventions old.
Stir her young soul until she cares
Cares for her God-made soul and mind,
That she may run a race worth while.
That none may leave her far behind,
Run well and fairly, with no guile.
Equip her'well with strength and health.
With knowledge of the good and bad,
Teach her there is no sort of wealth,
Which by herself may not be had.
Then in her turn teach her TO be,
A mother on a grander plan,
A source OF motive power. that she
May drive'the world with brother man.

The Business Letter

The sensible stenographer takes down
the dictathon her boss" gives her I'm bulk
and then makes It over. as IT were, into
the best form of a letter II you have
time ON your hands you may be able
TO RED all the following rules for the
BUSINESS letter:
First. the business letter should be
short. clear and to the point. No un-
necessary words. no repetition. Spell
every wa rds correctly. Put each subject
in a senarate paragraph, and put the
whole on the one sheet OF paper if pos
sible 1t Is advisable 10 write at the
top or the bottom of the letter the name
OF the person TO whom il is addressed
Every girl who goes into a new place
of business has TO learn the peculiar
vocabulary OF that business. For in
stance. that OF Doctors stenographer has
10 acquaint herself with various medical
terms; the GHl who works with an cleo
trieal concern must learn such terms as
come within her work.
The adaptable girl learns to go about
these things htelligently II II is at all
possible to get a medical or electrical
dictionary She does So She starts In
with the determination 10 learn, and
she succeeds. Employers always recog-
nize the value OF a girl like this, and
sooner or later she gets her welcome
little raise"

Engaged to Her Employer

When the girl-stenographer becomes
engaged to be married to her employer
difficulties frequently arise. Sometimes
the parents of one or other party object,
and sometimes the trouble arises in diff
ferences Of social position and educa ton.
The latter is the case with the writer of
the following letter:
Il am engaged to man ten years
older than myself. He has a fine educa-
ucn, good breeding and is thorough
gentleman. am his stenographer. 1
started to work in his office before / had
hnlshed high school, because we were
too poor to wait. Now. dear Ellen Adalr
l feel my lack of knowledge very keenly
aid while he is too kind to remind me Of
II, know he notices it too I am still
IN the office as l can't do without my
salary and can't marry until next year
He spends the evenings with me, so
get no chance to study alone. Besides.
l don't know enough to study alone and
can't afford a tutor Can YOU help me?
1 m so afraid he'll be ashamed of me
later on. and 1 care for him too much to
cause him any embarrassment"
The only advice that / can really give
is TO see little less of your fiance and
make time for some regular study.
Your desire to improve yourself mentally
Is very laudable one. and you will
never regret the time spent in so doing
IL YOU arrange to see your employer only
four evenings a week. and spend the re-
naming three evenings in study YOU
would improve rapidly Could you not
arrange for him to take you to some
good lectures in the evenings? You
could then achieve two objects at the |
'ame time. the pleasure of his society |
Ind the advancement of your education

Winter Sore Throat

The winter sore throat should be care
fully attended to. Too many people get
a cold In the head with sore throat and
pay no attention to It. This is n very
great mistake, because a bad case of
quinsy or grip might be the result.
Nobody can AFFORD to be Ill around holl-
day time especially women who have so
many gifts and things to attend to. The
nfst prescription for the sore throat liz
I" take good laxative. This is n safe
enough prescription for any ailment, be-
cause the system Is in constant need of
having the poisonB removed, and this ia
the natural way to carry them off, Most
ailments are caused by a germ or poison
OF some description disturbing the health,
SO the purgative is the reasonable treat
ment.
Garsle the sore throat every two hours
with warm water and salt-about a tea
spoonful to basin OF water. Peroxide
diluted three or four times with warm
water is good. too. If the throat psIns
use the hot water or icebag, whichever
gives most relief.

is TO bathe the eyes in a weak boracic
acid solution, and to use cold congresses.

should be changed constantly. II there Is

Lunching With
Her Employer

! - All 0AlA k|AO NJ
The girl who lunches or dimes with her
employer. whether he be a married man
or single. is acting foollshly, and sooner
or later she will regret it. The following
letter clearly illustrates this fact:
II saw your notice about advising
stenographers, and so / decided to
write 10 tell you all about my" trouble.
| am a young girl of is, and have been
the stenographer to a married man
for the past two years, 1 am short and
blonde. and have blue eyes and dark LASH
es. My employer began remarking on my
good looks several weeks after l took my
position. / paid no attention to him, as he
had fatheriy way towards me. He then
used TO take me out TO lunch and dinner,
etc, saying that he thought / didn't eat
enough. l was very grateful because I
thought he meant to be kind, but found
out that he was only trying to make me
care for him. He tried several times to
hold my hand, and to kiss me. l can't
give up my work as there are no other
places open 20 me, and | don't dare stay.
Please help me, Miss Adair and oblige.
ANXIOUS"
There is only one thing that you can
do. Anxious" and that is to tell your
employer that you consider you have
acted very foolishly in accepting his in
vitations out to lunches and dinners, and
that you can no longer accept any such
attentions. You are very young, and he
has probably taken advantage of your
but even so you have act |
ed without thinking. II he still continues |
his attentions, after you tell him that
they are no longer welcome. you must tell
him frankly that you can no longer stay
in his employment.

Modes of the Hour

Color is a fascinating subject and the
fashion running now seems to lie be-
tween blue and brown, although red
makes up what 1t lacks in quality by it's
flaring, fiamboyant quality.
The war has had its influence on the
| color scheme. The Austrian uniform
shows an atmospheric gray, tinged with
blue. Germany has evolved a color that
Is neither green nor gray, nor brown nor
blue, but, according to a mastery bit
of writing of a famous war correspond
ent, 1t melts or merges into the land
scape like a heavy mist or a blanketing
fog.
The Russian uniform is said to be earth
color. There Is the British khaki, but
also the British scarlet. and the vivid
reds and blues of the French army.
Blue is as fashionable this season as
Its fondest lovers could desire. There
are accessories to the blue suit in the
way OF blue.net and blue chiffon, blue
silk and blue velvet blouses; silk and
Isle stockings of blue, and many blue
velvet hats.
It is worn, too. in the evening, as the,
lovely new brocades and new velvets
can testify, And even crimson velvet is
not more regal looking than tho beauti-
full and sumptuous velvet of kings blue.
The wrap sketched today Is made OF
midnight blue velvet Models, to make
their way, must show in the richest and
most beautiful materials. But a model,
first and last is something to draw from,
and the design or style can be repro
duced in anything that convenience die
tates.
The special features of the evening
wrap shown today are the crossing of
the fronts al the knees instead of at the
waist, and the detached back which
Langs free from the shoulders.
The present-day wrap is a hybrid affair,
partaking of the nature of the coat and
the cape. The cape back and the coat
front make = combination that is very
smart, not only for evening wraps, but |
also for costumes devised for the street.
Many OF the new sports coats show this |
feature. Children's coats are falling into |
inc and some of the most beautiful OF the |
'ur coats show full rippling back.
Just now the shops are showing velysts
and broadeloths at a reduction OF the
staple price. Possibly there is an inclina-
ion on the part OF shoppers TO spend all
heir money for Christmas gifts unless
hey are caught by some special induce
nent in the regular values OF the every
lay needs.
Beth materials come In widths that
'angs from 49 to 81 inches, and, as a rule,
wo widths will fashion a cape or a cloak.
The wrap shown has a collar OF ermine.
But IL would lose neither its style or its
'sauty II a collar OF another fur were
ubstituted.

The Over-dressed
Stenographer

"ATy dear. what DO YOU think? I was
going over to Stubbys office to take die
tation. when one of those little pug
nosed office boys came along. He had the
boldest face, and a dirty cigarette was
hanging out of a corner of his mouth.
When got close he yelled Some doll I"
and beat it,"
Such nerve" answered the head stenog-
rapher, as she landed dab of powder at
the approved angle of her nose. Honest.
It's awful You can't put any respect into
those kids at all. Why. the other day,
when was coming in with a new hat,

Il should say not, my dear It's the

been living alone. 1 can't depend on you,

Hints to Stenographers

Try to arrange your letterheads car
bon paper and copy sheets conveniently
at one side of your desk so that you
can assemble sheets for letter with the
least possible number of motions Extra
and unnecessary motions take time and
reduce the amount of work you can do
in dav and they also tire you more
quickly If you always make one cart
bon copy of every letter make ii n prac-
tice in the morning, before you take your
dictatlon. to assemble enough lettcrheads
carbon sheets and copy sheets for the
days work. and thus save the time Of
assembling them separately during the
day 1t is well TO fasten them together
with small clip, which may be removed
before they are placed in the machine.
Then you can pick up. with one motion,
all of the sheets required for a letter.
