which am going to quote a bit. She
is young, a stenographer, with a good
enough salary to dress well. not so
very wen educated. but with tremen-
dously high ideals. She wants to meet
the better class of people. Many Of
those she meets do not come up to
her standard OF ideals-she isn't snob-
bish: she merely wants 20 know the
best there are. Her mother says she
'has too high a standard for a poor
girl"
She hasn't Her mother is wrong.
The higher the standard the better.
The poor girl. In this spIendidly dem
ocratfc country Of ours. can rise as
1t is not what she comes from, but
what she makes of herself, that
counts. Miss Air Castles should keep
aiming at the stars always; IL Wiz
get her much higher than II her
standard is a low one. or If she is
merely content with what she is.
How TO achieve fl? First. make
yourself look like the people you want
to know wear the wei cut. simply

dressed women wear. Wear clothes a
bit different from those which other
girls wear Cthe better fashion maya
