would dictate the answers to Miss Gil
more and she would see that they were
sent off to the questioners, In this
way she got her first insight into the
realm of the woman's page. Little by
little she added new tasks to her daily
routine. First she started to answer
the phone for the society editor-she
had a low, pleasant and refined voice
and was finally given the job OF taking
al society notes which were given over
the phone. Her IL years with the Con-
ways helped her here, for she knew
most of the society folk by sight and by
! name, n she was never puzzled an ia
| whether 1t was Mrs. ]. c. Senior or Mrs.
J. C.. Junior who was giving a party OF
going out of town. Then when the pa
per started its needlework contest ali
the specimens came in her mail. 1t was
soon discovered by the editor that she
was an expert at both embroidery and
lace making and s. % she was given the
job OF deciding the winners and writing
the directions for the paper,
At the end of a year she was earning
S2O a week and the best part Of the
years work was the new outlook on
life she had gained and the new inter-
ests she had acquired. Her evenings
were her WI n she might spend them
as she pleased n so a great many OF
them were spent In the library reading
up On SUBJECTS mat she thOught she

years spent doing homework were OF
ihestimable value In fact, had she
taken a college course and specialized
in Homework she would not have been
as well trained for her work as she had
been by her IL years OF actual expe-
rience. She was earning $40 a week
and had written several special articles
for the paper on special subjects, some
of which were purely for entertainment
or amusement. Had anyone even men
toned writing an article for a news
paper to her two years before she would
have wondered what they were talking
about.
Today she has increased her editorial
duties until she handles almost the en-
tire woman's page on the large daily
paper for which she started out as an
office girl. She has been writing spe-
cial articles for two years, and aside
from her special work she is how earn
ing $40 a week. She Is not a wonderful
writer, but she is n wonderful worker
and even though her newspaper friends
might not call her q success, there is no
doubt but that she is prosperous when

your plans and satisfy your ambitions.
Energy and Strength is the basis of all Success, but
Strength of Mind and Body is only as strong as the

Laziness becomes habit. You never accomplish
much in life when this condition is allowed toI

nourishment and warmth to make strong bodinA.

Mr.. AND MRS SAUNDERS LEAVE
WEDNESDAY FOR WARRINGTON

The many friends Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Saunders will regret to hear
that they will leave Wednesday night
Tor Washington, D. c., to make their
future home.
In losing Mrs. Saunders, the Memphis
women's clubs lose one OF their finest,
and most untiring workers. There were
lew Dig movements, whether patriotic
or civic interest, in which the women
,lled last winter, where Mrs. Saunders
did not play a prominent part.
II has been said Of Clarence Saunders,
that he has never been known to turn
aside a plea for assistance, were the
cause a worthy one. There are few
men who worked more euntiringly in all
campaigns for the Red Cross and va
rious war funds than he, and, although
he probably wouldn't. like this fact
published, there were very few in the
state who contributed so generously
toward these same funds.
There are a great many who will re-
gret their going, but who, nevertheless,
will wish them every happiness and
success in their new home.
