GETTING A START.
DO 1T NOW.


Yesterday is past. Today is here.
Tomorrow may never arrive.
You have been responsible for the
past; you are responsible for, the pres

= altogether upon itself, but largely
upon what you do today
Great men in every department of
activity do the work of today today
They do not put off till tomorrow
what belongs to today, nor do they
overwork today that they may rest
tomorrow. They apportion their work
and their play in sane and sensibI.

ought to be done, are done twice.
Any attempt TO postpone that which

Doing II now stands for economy
and for peace OF mind. for real rest
and happiness
If there is any one thing above all
others which predisposes your employ
er in your favor. il is the finishing OF
your duties on time. or aheao of time.
Some one once asked a great man
/. TO what he attributed his success. In
SANITY he replied, ITO doing what I
have to do, or what / should do, at
the earliest convenient moment"

BY MARY MARSHALL.

Nowadays, when society w0ma
finds herself Obliged to earn her own
living. she may do practically anything
she likes so long as 1t is honest and
decent but IL she wants to be up-to-
date. and do the really smart" thing,
she starts lunch or tea room. And
the reason for this choice of vocation.
which has been frequently made by
women of high social standing and for
mer wealth, is That il is one which. II
properly undertaken. yields a really good
income. There is no doubt about that.
There is At the present time. and there
will continue to he. good money in we'll
run lunch and tea rooms. and there is
room for many more young women of
business ability and training to take up
this line of work.
The cases where women have been I'M
successful at the lunch room business
were cases of ineXperience. pure and
simple--cases where women who. just
because they could make tempting sand
witches and set dainty tables. thought
that they were bound 10 make a sue
cess of the lunch room proposition. for
getting that the real secret of making
this work pay is the question of buying
and planning. And q knowledge of these
essentials can scarcely be gained with
out actual training and experience.
To be sure. several women have sue
ceeded in the lunch and tea room bust
ness without any sort Of apprenticeship
or training other than what they have
acquired in the running of their own
homes hut the woman who is thinking
of starting out in this business would be
on the safe side in taking some prac-
teal training before she ventures forth.
In the first place. the woman who
wants to run lunch room must have
business ability. She must have an eye
to costs and expenses. must instructive
ly have her eye on the profit before any
thing else. TO carry on lunch room
where the cost of production exceeds the
receipts may result in a very popular re-
sort. one which may. in fact. be crowd
ed every day: but 1t is hardly worth
while venture. Business sense is either
born in a woman or il is not and the
woman who has not naturally bump
for business had better keep out Of the
lunch room business.
The other trait necessary for the
woman who wants TO succeed at lunch
rooms is the ability to get along with
other people-with employees and with
patrons; and this ability is also a trait
that is Unborn in a woman. and the
woman who does not possess ii had bet
ter join with the woman who has no
business ability and keep out of the
lunch room business.
With the rest-the knowledge Of the
particular problems of the business-ex-
perience and training have to do.
This training can be got either in do
mestic science schools or in the class
room of experience. The schools vary
greatly in scope of training They vary
all the way from school like Teachers

AND NOIRS
April l4-Rose Coghlan.

One of the most popular actresses
of the last century. Rose Coghlan was
born in Petersburgh, England. sixty
five years ago today Rose did not
come from a dramatic family, and it
was only because her brother. who
started out in life as a barrister, be-
came an actor that Rose ever discov-
cred her wonderful talents. However.
encouraged by this brother of hers,
she took up dramatic work as a mere
child. and when she was in her early
teens she was acting as one of the
witches in Macbeth" At Is she was
making a great hit in soubrette parts,
and quite by an accident she was
called upon to take the part of the
leading lady. From that time on her
success was assured. At 81 she was
acting in the United States as leading
with great success as Viola In
Twelfth Night" but her greatest
parts were those of Lady Teazle.
Lady Gay Spanker, and as Peg Woff-
ington.
Rose Coghlan never altogether over
came the mistakes of her early train
ing, and even at her best there were
apparent irregularities in her art and
carelessness in her best acting.
However. she was one of the most
popular and successful of actresses of
her day, and this, perhaps. because of
the righteousness of her beauty, her
strong personality. and her true wom-
anhood. Rose Coghlan had a voice of
rare beauty. that needed no cultiva-
ton, and an infectious laugh that
alone would have assured her success
on the stage. Her face was one of
those rare combinations of beauty and
expressiveness, and was capable of
showing the greatest play of emo
tons Miss COughlan was married
when she was 35 to-. a Boston lawyer.

MONOTONOUS BREAKFASTS.

Are the breakfasts served in your house
monotonous?
Those served in most houses are mo-
notonous. far more monotonous than the
luncheons or the dinners. And perhaps
the very nature of accepted breakfasts
makes them monotonous. For the con-
ventional list of foods allowable at break
fast Is small and the list liked by most
people at the first meal OF the day is
smaller.
Fruit, cereal. bread. beverage and a
cooked dish-these heads include every
thing. Coffee. tea or milk come under
beverage, chops, creamed Clipped beef
or fish cakes come under the cooked
dish. jam and marmalade come under the
fruit. and pancakes come under bread.
Yet even with a very limited list Of
foods served at breakfasts there is no
reason, save lazness on the part Of the
cook or housekceper, for serving mo-
notonous breakfasts. For the few foods
can be perfectly cooked. Gaintily served
and temptingly combined.
Here are some spring-breakfast menus

Wednesday, April II, 1915.
This is an uncertain day. Astrology
finds that Saturn rules strongly good
while Neptune Is adverse.
The planet that is believed to have
sway over the riches buried in the
earth gives promise Of success for ag-
riculturists. Crops that will bring for

States. but unusual dangers from pests

TRANSPARENT" Is the Word.

We seem haunted by transparencies
this spring. And the very latest is the
long, transparent sleeve. made of chif-
fOn and attached to a bolerO coatee or
a blouse of taffetas. crepe de chine. or
charmeuse. Some of these sleeves are
almost leg o mutton in outline. They
curve out at the wrists and fall away
from the arm when the latter Is rs ;sed
For tea or dinner gowns such sleeves
are charming. hut they seem out Of
place on day dresses.
One dressmaker is trying to make pop
ular transparent foun"es, attached to
the hem OF a skirt. This is curious
idea and will not appeal 10 many wom-
en-. The new skirts are short enough
as It Is: any attempt to make them
appear still shorter will not be generous

The motor season has set in with a
vengeance. and those who go in for the
sport consistently provide themselves
with the proper kind of apparel.
Chief among this is the enveloping
coat of Donegal tweed, introducing dust
proof tones of dull brown, tan, and
white in the nub weave. The newest
models are not more than three-quar-
ters lengths, as this gives ample pro-
lection to the fair motorist without bur-

This silk contributes the muhier coll

weather.
At the back the fullness Of the plaits

convenience and comfort.
The wise motor girl will adopt one Of
the close-fitting hats and as the latter
are very much in evidence now even for
wear with the street suit, she will not
look questionable in any one Of the
numerous SNUG little chapcaux which
her milliner will doubtless offer her.
The motor veil Is a necessity and in
many instances it really adds an addi-
tiOnal charm to the smart motor garb.
