when applying for a job, large doses of
humility. Don't say to the man you want
to employ you, "I know so and so much

YOUTHFUL FORM OF SNOBBERY
GIVEN SHARP RAP BY M'LISS
Often 1t Attacks Young College Graduates With
Great Virulence as They Seek Superior Job.
Should Not Be Encouraged

HiHERE are lmany kinds Of snobs.
L Those OF us who have read our Thaclx.
cray have literary familiarity with
them in their interesting variety. Those
who haven't read 'aThe Book of Snobs"
have missed treat, albeit they may
know enobs. Just the same for the world
abounds in them.
At this season of the year there ap-
pears in the busy marts of the cities a
type OF snob the coming Of which Is
always a matter for pity and amusement
rather than for the righteous indignation
which most snobs cause to surge within
the breasts of observant ones.
This is the young intellectual snob, the
Jejune college graduate who has pinned
her hopes to her sheepsl1in, often to dis
cover that II is made only of imitation
parchment paper. with eyes gllstening
Enthusiastically behind her pince.nez,
she fares forth into buzzing and totally
unfamiliar world to look for Job. Not
an ordinary Job, of course. Heaven for
bid Why she stood first in her class in
biology and way up at the top in trig-
onometry.
She wants something worth while,
something that shall at once call into
play the exercise OF her executive talents
and also give free play to her creative
faculty. She has thought, not merely
wondered, as have so many girls Of her
age. She fairly bristles with views. She
has formulated an opinion on everything
from transcendentalism to the care of the
insane. There is no subject which she
does not feel qualified to discuss, and
her manner in presenting her merits to
the employer that she would like to
make her own puts that gentleman at
once In his proper place-which is among
the ignorant ones.
Great surprise not unmixed with a little
anger suffuses her being and sometimes
punctures her cocksureness when the
ignorant, uncultured brute whose office,
or library, or newspaper, or sociological
department she wants to run tells her
that Miss Smith, who hasn't had the ap-
plicant's advantages in the way of the
highest kind of education, 1t is true, is
entirely capable. She is baffled. She
can't understand that n little theoretical
knowledge until 1t is supplemented with
a great deal of the practical kind isn't
salable at very high price.

Make Your Own Twine Box

Twine receptacles have been made very
fancy-and very expensive-for us nova
days. Why not make your own at homer
You can take a hand at decorating 1t after
wards, but five minutes Is long enough to
make a useful II not beautiful twine-
holder.
Get from your shopkeeper a small wooden
box, deep enough to accommodate a fat
ball Of heavy twine and a ball of the
ordinary strlng-you win find that you
need both of these around the house. Now
tack the box TO the wall of some closet, in
the kitchen or laundry. Bore two holes In
the bottom Of the box, and draw the ends
of the twne through these, SO that they
will be in sight when needed. Close to the
box hang a pair of cheap Kitchen scissors.
A table just below the box makes handy
place to wrap packages, and 10 It It has
a capacious drawer to hold wrapping paper,
all the better. II Is a good plan to save all
the clean wrapping paper that comes into
the house.

Who Asks Ushers?

Dear Deborah Rush: Will you please tell me
who should invite the ushers at a wedding, the
bridegroom or the BRIDES parents? Also whht ~
considered n suitable fee TO give the one VINO per-
forms the ceremony? tEOh6E'
The bridegroom is the person TO ask the
ushers TO act in that capacity for him, and
they are usually chosen from his most inti-
mate friends. OF course it is usual for the
bridegroom and bride to talk these matters
over together, so that the members OF the
bridal party may meet with the approval
of both
Tho matter OF fee depends largely upon
the means of the bridegroom. 1t should be
usually from S25 to $780, and in the case OF
a person of means more is often given.
