TO INTRODUCE A DESIRABLE TEN
ANT to a good landlord-to good house
or anarsmentZis to perform service Of
real usefulness. And such service Is
part Of the daily routine Of the classified
,ds.
WHEN A CLASSIFIED AID brings to-
ge:her the man who is seeking good
house or apartment, and the man who is
seeking gocd tenant, two problems have
been solved. Each mans problem, until
It is solved satisfactorily, is a bothersome
one. To each party in such a transaction
tho classified ad renders useful service
aiding in the adjustment Of his affairs.
THE S ERvANT PROBLEM is never a
simple one-never, either, hopeless one!
There are efficient servants always to be
found; there are good positions always
awaiting such servants. In bringing to-
gether the good servant and the good
position the classified ads serve both par
ties with equal profit and satisfaction.
GET ACQUAINTED with the man
who OUGHT TO BUY THAT PROP
ERTY OF YOURS. There IS SUCH A
MAN. He may live within a few city
blocks Of your home-or he may live
miles away from you. Classified adver-
Using will FIND HIM FOR WOU. Is not
such a service valuable one?
THE CLASSIFIED ADS ARE SELL
ING THINGS today. They are selling
used articles, property, personal services.
If what YOU HAVE TO SELL is adver-
tised today in the classified you will have
an excellent chance Of finding your buyer.
If what YOU NEED is advertised today
in the classified, you'll have an excellent
chance to secure bargain!
USED FURNITURE, if still valuable,
Is always MARKETABLE. If you are
storing or otherwise sequestering, used
articles, with no prospect Of being able
to use them yourself, why not put them
"on sale" through the classified cc1dmns7

LEARN TO SPEAK WITH EASE

ed than to attempt to speak extempo-
raneously, and to follow no particular
order or thought. 1t is painful for an
audience to watch speaker who is
manifestly in terror himself that he will
lose what he is going to say next. If
notes are prepared certain degree of
preparation is insured, and even the or
ganizing and assembling of the ideas in
logical sequence, will be great help SO
that a mere glance at the notes will be
sufficient TO suggest what should come
next. Then, too, there is certain
notes or outlines which may be referred
to if necessary.
Little by little, as the speaker gains
control of himself and is more at ease in
addressing number of people, he will
be able to dispense with written helps.
It is noticeable, however, that some
brilliant speakers who are called upon
constantly to address audiences and
banqueting groups do not hesitate to
hold in the hand a card which has few
headings or significant reminders jotted
down upon it. The benefit in this is that
the speaker is held to certain line OF
thought and reaches logical conclu-
sion in a reasonable time.
Most people who are beginning to
speak in public find the opening and
closing difficult. To overcome these
dreaded parts of public speech or adj
dress, it is good plan to keep note
book or box of clippings Of bright,
pointed stories which will serve as tell
ing illustrations or help. drive home a
point. Some of our most brilliant pub
&c men have won their reputation as
apt speakers, in part at least, through
having a fund of witty anecdotes to
draw upon. These are frequently used
again and again with telling result, al
though, of course, not before the same
audiences.
1t is profitable and interesting study
to observe the different methods Of
opening diseourses used by elergymen.
lecturers and other public speakers.
Some are simple and direct; others long
and tlresome in approaching their topic !;
and still others have unique way of
awakening immediate interest and lead
ing up with pleasing directness to their
subject.

tured out of the velvet evening coat.
First and foremost it would have to
be carefully ripped, brushed and steam
ed, to take out all traces of the stitch
ing, then a paper pattern cut the way
in which side drapery could best be
managed. If the velvet proved insult
fcient to allow of a wide pocket-lkc ex-
tension the same effect can be had by
large gathered pockets heavily embroid-
cred or made of trimming to match the
wide girdle.
The foundation of the pockets could
be made from the large collar of the
old evening coat, for the neck to be
really in fashion must be cut straight
across and edged with fur. Sleeves,
narrowing down to the wrist and then
faring out over the hand are very much
worn this year, and could be easily made
from the plain coat sleeve.
