on the stove before she could get hel
 bath, and if something goes wrong WILT the electric light, she should not forge' that at home she had to use kerosene lamp or candle and not complain unti

 how to make the best of things wher they all go wrong.
 There are so many nice secretaries When we come down to breakfast we meet Mrs. Grover, and she always says Good morning, dear" and just think how many times she says that in one morning. and when we come in at even ing Mrs. Lyons is always busy at the desk taking in money for board and giv- ing out the mail to each girl, and each one that comes in will say: Have l any ] mail?" Then the telephone will ring, the
 door bell will ring, another new girl has
 clme because she has heard what a nice place 10 board in the Young Woman S Christian association. Then comes the
 messenger boy with telegram. and at , the same time the driver comes with a 1 package before he is gone the dry clean 1 ing man comes with a suit c. O. D.. and 1 the girl is down in the laundry and when 1 Mrs. Lyons answers the telephone per l ]haps someone wants message delivered 1 to a girl in the gymnasium hall, and

Yes we have school birls taking business courses at the various business colleges.
