VALUE OF
TRAINING
BY EDNA EGAN.

- T is extraordinary difficult TO
make women realize fully the
N absolute necessity for a thor
ough training If they intend
TO take up some special career as
permanent means of earning their liv-
ing. Many have come to understand
that there is little or no opening for
the unframed worker, and, in conEe-
auence, are ready TO take some kind OF
training before seeking a paid position.
This is a great step in the right direc-
ton, but there is always the tendency
TO think that a very short and cur
sorry training will be sufficient, and
that greater efficiency can be picked
up by degrees when actually holding
a position.
If women wish to do mems work and
to prove themselves equally compe-
tent. they must seriously take this
matter into consideration. a boy
chooses his future career at a COM
paratively early age, and prepares for
that career for a considerable time
before he can hope TO earn a good sal
airy. Take the numerous branches Of
mems work-the plumbers, builders,
cabinetmakers, etc. In each case they
have served an apprenticeship for sew
eral years. Again, in the case of farm
ers. lawyers. engineers, etc, every
man who has any prospect Of making
headway and earning a steady income
has given years and years to careful
study and practical experience before
arriving at the point where his success
is fairly we'll assured.
This Is where women are likely 10
fail. They are in such a terrible hur-
ry 10 begin. Even in cases where the
question of money and time to spend
in training presents no difficulty they
are quite ready to cram as much as
they can into a few weeks, and, with
out waiting to perfect their knowledge
rush out TO obtain some kind of posi-
tion. This leaves the trail of th'
amateur" over all their work, and Il
the chief reason why many employers
are so chary Of engaging women. The,
have learned by experience that few
women are sufficiently we'll trained
to be trusted entirely 10 carry ou
their work satisfactorily.

PRETTY HANDS AND ARMS

across to a neighbOr's. This practice
will chap the hands and arms and
leave them in a bad condition. One
Of the best pomades for chapped hands
and arms is made as follows
Cocoa butter. one ounce; oil of sweet
almonds. one ounce; oxide Of zinc. one
dram: boraX, one dram; oil Of berga-
mot, six drops. Heat the cocoa butter
and oil OF almonds in a double boiler
and when thoroughly mixed add to
them the zinc and borax. Stir until IL
is quite cool and then add the berga-
mot The oxide of zinc in this po-
made is very healing. Rub it well
into the hands and arms at night If
they are chapped and you will have
good results.
Many simple exercises are good for
the development of the forearm. A
simple pulley rigged up on the back OF
your door is very good. One of the
simplest methods of increasing the
size of the forearm is 10 stand erect
and extend the arms out straight, clos
Ing the hand tightly over some object
like a wad Of tightly rolled paper
While the full arm is thus extended
raise the forearm and try TO touch the
shoulder and then go back TO the orig
inal outstretched position. This is
really one of the best ways Of devel-
oping the muscles of both the fore and
upper arms. Another simple exercise
is TO clasp the hands at the back OF the
neck. working the two elbows forward
as much as possible. Both of these
exercises should be taken in a loose
gown and after the corsets have beer
removed.
Some women are burdened with toe
much flesh on the forearm, and e
them I can only say that constsn
scrubbing with hot water and a rougl
brush will help them more than any
!, thing ''Kneading" the flesh is als'
very beneficial, as it seems TO broal
% up the particles of fat. leaving tn
arm in more pliable condition. TIT
| woman who has a very stout arm
4 should also avoid tightly fittin
sleeves, as they only tend to draw at
Q tention TO the size Of her arm.
Il loose sleeve will hide the size and re
IS lieve the redness very much.
In connection with the care an
n proper exercising of the arms muc
It thought and time should OF course b
u given to the hands and nails.

TIE GOOD
HOUSEREEPER
BY MRS. McCUNE.

KEN T has been said that there must
he something essentially vul-
r gar in any woman, whatever
her opportunities of culture
may have been. who despises the
homely tasks of housekeeping and
home-making-task which the wisest
and the most cultured women have de-
lighted in. Whatever advantages the
young housewife may have had In the
way of education, whatever oppor-
tunities for culture and accomplish
ment, those only make for good In her
position as professor of housewifery.
she must be able to cook and serve
a wholesome dinner, and at the same
time be competent to preside over the
same with dignity and grace. she
must be an adept at making, mending,
and nursing: she must be a financier,
a resourceful business manager, and
a general all-around household chief.
Genius has been defined as the pow
er of persistence; and when house
wife becomes disheartened over the
small, daily trials of Housekeeping, or
perplexed and worried over problems
that seem hard to solve. she must re-
member that perfection in any profess
sion requires time, study, and prac-
tice; and a perfect system of house.
keeping must be gradual develop
ment At first. there may be mistakes
and discOuragements, but with pa
tience and persistence the plucky
housewife will sooner or later find
herself mistress of the situation; the
household machinery. will begin to
run smoothly; and tasks which at first
seemed hard and perpleXing will be-
come simple and easy.
