"The Glory Of YOIanda.n -

Anita Stewart, always charming,
wins new laurels in her latest feat
ure, "The Glory of Yolanda."
The story tells about little Rus
sian peasant girl, Yolanda, who loves
to dance among the trees and ferns
of the forest, but her father has no
patience with her hopes and desires
and sternly forbids her to forget a
career as a ballet dancer and content
herself with the man he has chosen
for her to marry.
The crown prince, in passing
through the forest, sees Yolanda
dancing and tells her that if she will
come to PetrOgrad he will see that
she is given the proper ballet train
ing.
While Yolanda is learning ballet
dancing, she meets and loves a young
American artist. But the duke for
bids their friendship and heartbrok-
en- over the death of her mother and
the loss of the artists friendship, she
scores her great success as premier
danseuse.
Her brother coming from the coun-
try enters her house in time to pre-
vent the crafty duke from winning
his prize, for he has coveted Yolanda
all the time and waited only until she
became successful before carrying out
his intentions. The brother kills
him, but Yolanda refuses to allow
his reputation to suffer for his act,
taking the blame herself.

Business Talks TO Young Girls
BY ALICE BRADY

it may be, that will yield you rich
returns in the future, when you may
need them even more than you do
now, and when you least expect them.
You are getting a wedge into the
business world.
Be sure that you are dressed ap-
propriately, that is to say, quiety,
neatly, smartly, and at every place
you apply even though you may re-
ceive an unqualified mo" to your
application, make as much of an i'm
preston and as good a one as you
can.
Be dignified, but as much at ease
as possible, and take advantage Of
any excuse to leave your name and
address with the firm for who knows
how soon there may suddenly be
vacancy and the emergency prove to
be to your advantage? Do not, how
ever, permit yourself to enter into
any personal conversation.
We will suppose you have only
reputable places on your list, but,
even so, leave some word at your
home or with some of your friends
as to where you are going. Have
your list of addresses properly group
ed as to locations as a part of the
conservation of time and energy"
order, and perhaps to save car fare.
1t is a good idea to write few
words of explanation about yourself
on the card you send in, or better
still, to have ready written a brief
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-01-25

statement of your qualifications. In
doing this be as direct as possible,
yet at the same time manage to
show some hint of individuality.
There isn't a business man worth
while who doesn't appreciate individ-
uality, any more than there is a bust
ness that cannot be bettered by the
individuality of its workers But
don't mistake individuality for freak
ishness. Business is just about the
last place where the bizarre or bold
person is wanted. Be alert and alive
and, as say, individual, as you may,
but always conservative.
Now then, in making applications
by mail l would make these sugges-
tions: Use white note paper of good
quality and, preferably, have your
letter typewriter on business sheets,
pen signed. Make your opening SEN
tence such as to attract attention
rather than use any of the hackneyed
forms such as Replying to your ad-
vertisemcnt, etc" State clearly the
qualifications you think would fit
you to the place, and suggest an
hour for a personal interview with
the request that if it proves incon-
venient the advertiser should name
another which you should be glad to
keep.
References should be reservedly
given and only when you find that
there is a chance of your obtaining
the position sought. Do not enclose
them in answering an advertisement
unless they are especially requested
by mail, and then send copies of
your originals. You should exercise
considerable discretion in requesting
anyone to vouch for you. 1t is a re-
sponsibility that is not to be asked or
accepted lightly. Moreover, you
should be sure that the references
counts for you rather than against
you Your own personality and your
own estimate of yourself are your
best references, and most business
men understand that.

When You Start Looking for Work

WHICH IOu fotdTt IOOhluS iOT NOih
The saving of time and strength
are two of the important subjects to
which you should give attention in
M ing out your business career,
AID ne time to begin saving time
and energy is right now, when you
start looking for position. Try to
realize that moments are golden, and
that physical strength-health-is a
better asset than any other upon
which to build success.
Now let me explain a point here.
When | say "savo time and energy,
l mean rather, conserve them. Make
the best possible use of the hours,
not necessarily by crowding as much
into them as you possibly can, but
doing the noedful things in their
proper time. Similarly, with your
strength and energy. By Saving" l
mean not to exert yourself to the ut
most capacity of your strength, but
to apportion your strength to the
worth while things. In doing so re-
member that you are storing up en-
ergy and conserving strength, just
as storage battery stores electricity.
Before you set out on your hunt
for work make up your mind that if
you meet with disappointments which
you probably will, the next day is
very likely to bring better fortune,
and anyway you may take heart of
grace in the thought that you the
