WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
Take Book to Study During the Va
cation.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

1ou are off for your vacation, and YOU
dont want to think of work for the week

enough to obtain.
Great scheme. But there are going tn

some fool thing that won't give you a bit
of help, and that may even bore you.
My advice is for you to go to the library
before you make tracks for the country,
and there to look over all the efficiency
books on the list. and to pick therefrom
ciaI job.
There is such a book; in fact, there are
probably a number of them And it con-
talns material that will help you to better
yourself When you are on your job YOU
will hardly get the time to study: But
during Your vacation, with your mind free
and your body rested, such a book will be
a pleasure to read, and will give you real
meat for your mind.
You don't know all, or nearly all, you
need to do to make you do your work in
the best possible way. That book will
push you up several pegs if it is carefully
read, and you'll thank yourself thou
job for having had the sense to take it
along with you.
1t is by not using all the means offered
that keeps US back-by not knowing what
We easily could know with little thought
and care 1t won't make your vacation
any the less enjoyable because you use
a little of it in helping you on in life.
After ALL you needn't read the book if
YOU don't get the time. But try taking it
along, anyway.

Showing Bad Taste.

The idea of bad taste" expositions will
probably prove popular throughout the
country. for they are productive of a

than to pat himself on the back, and
