had but little understanding of boy ma

prison from which he could escape at
intervals each day.
He had not even thought of opening

he could ever live another day Of his

Cheerfulness in the Office

What blessing the cheerful girl is to
the rest of the world, and the business
girl in particular can prove veritablc
godsend in an office If she be bright
and happy about her work. She is what
the poets call "a sunbeam in n shady
place. and her task seems lightened, for
she sets about II with a will.
When there is lots and lots of work
10 be done. she does not sit in front OF
her typewriter with a doleful don't speak
10 me, please" face and an air of utter
exhaustion and boredom. Not she. She
tackles her work cheerfully and with a
smile. 1t is surprising. too, how quickly
she manages 10 get through things. for
where there's a will there's a way!
When things go wrong. as they will do
even in the best regulated of offices. the
cheerful little stenographer will not lose
her temper and SNAP" at those around
her She will look on the bright side, rea-
liZing that these are only the ups and
downs of business life and will soon pass
She is not only welcome in the office
but welcome everywhere she goes, for
she is a regular sunbeam. She lightens
burdens and sheds a ray OF hope wherever
she comes. So her friends thank their
lucky stars that they are her friends, and
see a beauty in her kindly face that they
do not find in the belle who cares only
for herself.
The cheerful little stenogra pher is al
most sure OF promotion In her salary. too
for her worth In the office Is enhanced
by her pleasant and kindly demeanor.

That when leaves drop off the trees in
the autumn they nearly always. on =

That Rumanian children are taught to
put their hands on the table instead of
to take them off; and when one is eating
with one hand only. the other must al
ways rest on the table?
That most spiders have eight eyes, but
a few have only six?
That some animals are born enemies
and never get really friendly with each
other? Even quite wee rabbits will shver
with fear If there Is ferret anywhere
near them; while young turkeys will
show every sign of fear when they hear
the shrill cry of the hawk.
That some swallows have been known
TO fly at the rate of 1913 miles an hour?

The New Bride

The new bride is thinking how abou
keeping her little home in good condl.
ton, and all wedding gifts, too. The
silver is, perhaps, the new problem for
her, because new methods are always
coming out and each one is an improve
mont on the other. And nothing looks
worse on a table than tarnshed silver.
The new silver pan is quite a revela-
tion in the way of labor saving as the
silver may be laid in the pan, covered
with boiling water and left until the wa
ter cools sufficiently to remove it, or the
perforated tray may be raised IL one
has not time TO wait and the silver wiped
and polished.
The chamols-covered felt moulded silver
board is designed for cleaning silver
pieces that have to be laid upon their
sides while legs and handles are polished.
1t will be found quite convenient also to
clean pearl or bone-handled knives on.
Two of the best styles of fork-cleaners
have handles, one has a black frame to
lay on the table.
Three sizes of soft brushes and a SPOON
burnisher are needed. A good chamols
polisher has a glove pocket so 1t cannot
get away" when you are using 1t. Use a
good liquid polish.
Silver which is put away for some time
should be thoroughly cleaned, smeared
slightly with lard and slipped into It's
bag. Put piece of lump camphor in the
closet in which IT is stored. Then all
you have TO do when 1t is needed again
is to plunge it into hot water dry and

THE GIRL WHO "STENOGS"
FROM Personal CHOICE
Many Girls Who From the Point of View Do Not Need
to Work Yet Insist Upon Doing so, They Are to be
Greatly Admired for Their Pluck

Why do SO many girls work who don't
have to? Why do they give up their
time and personal freedom to stand all
day teaching, or sit in an office building
pounding typewriter or doing the thou
sand and one things that well-to-do girls
are getting into these days? There is a
spirit of unrest rampant among the
young girls of today. They rush into
everything with mad zest They don't
wait to finish school, they deceive their
trusting parents with the snare of domes-
tic science or dressmaking. They rush
from the unfinished science or dressmak-
ing course into the perilous seas of mat
rimony. And when they are graduated
from college they rush into some posi-
tion or other-anything to stay away
from the quiet, domestic life usually at
tributed to women.
Take the case of one stenographer. She
is from wealthy home. her surround
ings were charming. She had friends ga
lore. and all the money she needed. Her
father had lovely summer home at the
seashore. and she entertained whenever
she chose. And yet this girl is a stenog-
rapher in an office where she gets SO a
week. She has to be down at $3.50 in
the morning and gets an hour off for hec
lunch. She works until half-past 5 and
has two weeks vacation in the whole
year. While her family is enjoying the
ocean breezes and having seashore sports

MODES OF THE HOUR

The beginning and end of all things
this season is. apparently, fur. The fur
lined coat, although 1t exists, is in the
background, for 1t is the ornamental side
of fur that is exploited to the very limit
| of it's possibilities.
| The set of furs illustrated today shows
one of the most popular combinations so
! far evolved. The fiat muff refutes the
statement made some time ago that the
square and the oblong shapes belong to
the past.
The barrel-shaped muff and the diminu-
tive round one arc in evidence novel;
ties, but they may prove to be a passing
fancy, making their exit with the cold
weather.
The sealskin muff OF the picture Is or
namented with fitch at one side. The lit
tie animal is slipped through strap or
the sealskin and it's length extends across
the mun
In the neckpiece, one of the long ends
is fitch and the other seal. The latter Is
finished with small balls of the sealskin.
Whenever 1t appears that there is moth
ing left to say as to the use of fur, some
thing new crops up. The mum collar, for
instance, which is featured now on coats
and suits.
1t looks like a good-sized muif set at
the back of the neck. 1t stands high and
It is wide and fun. but 1t does not ex-
tend to the front, and 1t leaves the throat
exposed.
An unusual combination of furs, designed
recently for a handsome wrap, consisted
of ermine, the royal fur, and the humble
skunk. From the artistic standpoint the

Whether she looks young OF whether
she looks old at 80 depends to large ex-
tent on a woman herself. In olden times
once she had passed the age Of 40 a wo-
man was content to sit down with fold
ed hands and wait peacefully for old age.
She felt that as far as she was concerned,
youth was over for her altogether. Her
companions we're always women Of her
own age or older than herself.
How different things are nowadays. A
certain mother, past 50. doesn't look a
day older than her daughter of %. It isn't
that she apes youth in her dress, for she
dresses suitably and becomingly. But
her figure Is young and slender, and en-
ergy Is written in every line of her face.
She always has young people surround
Ing her, and enters with the utmost zest
into their occupations and pursuits. in
their company she lives over again the
days of her youth.
She is not content to sit down with
folded hands just because she has brought
up family and seen her daughters well
married; nor is she content to stay quietly
at home, with no interest in life beyond
the doings of her neighbors and herself.
Plenty to Do
''My secret of youth" she says, "is al
ways to have plenty to do. I'm not one
of those who believe in idleness for the
elderly. These people are simply asking
to get old.
"The time can spareffrom the manage

Would You?

Would you have the world be kind7
Then be kind yourself!
Hide not gifts of heart or mind
On the futures shelf.
Give what you can spare, and more,
From today's most precious store.
Would you meet with truth? Then truth
You must proffer first
Life hath need of grace and ruth,
But, through best and worst,
Truths gold passes. clear and straight,
And is always worth it's weight!
Would you honor gain? Be swift
To give honor due:
The deserving to uplift.
Crown the crowned anew
With the laurels they have won
In whatever work, well done.
Would you be beloved? Then love!

Than Loves matchless loveliness.
