young women of twenty mine and thirty
holding such positions and I know of
one splendid young woman welfare
head" even younger than this. Such a
position is well paid.
| ANOTHER very interesting field in
A social work is in the hospitals. You
will fiud several workers now in most of
the large hospitals. 1t is their duty to
help the doctor at the clinic and see
that the patient understands his orders;
then they must visit the home and
see that the patient has the proper
means to carry out these orders.
Various amounts of training are re-
quired for the different lines of welfare
and social service work. There are
schools for social service and other
girls get their training by doing volun
teer or free work for some time. One
might progress from free work to the
position of an assistant and then in
this way gradually progress to higher
things.
The girl who has taken a business
course and yet does not care to have
a business career has a good oppor-
tunity to get valuable training by pro-
curing a stenographica1 or clerical post
tion with an organization having to do
with relief work or social betterment
1t will be an easy matter for her to
switch to actual visiting later on.
TN LOOKING ahead in any direction,
l. June graduates. there is this to be re-
membered the permanent positions that
mean well defined and interesting
careers to which there are no limits in
achievement all require training and
preparation. Once \acquired. however,
nothing can ever rob you of it and you
are provided, as it were, with a, profes-
sion for all time.
To return to social service specifically,
there never was time when there were
so many opportunities. Factory after
factory is installing it's welfare depart
mcnt: in fact, the conscience of the
whole country is quickening to its
duty toward human beings. If a girl
feels seriously that she is fitted for
this type of work then it would be
worth while to go in for any amount Of
preparatory training. There is no
definite age limit for the social worker,
but it is the general rule that girl
must be twenty -one before actually
stepping into a position that carries any
responsibility.

Exchange
To A. J.

No doubt you have not persisted in
any skin treatment long enough to see
a marked Improvement
Liquid green sonp is sometimes pre-
scribed for stubborn cases of large
pores. You can buy this in a drug
store. Camphor water applied with a
little absorbent cotton and allowed to dry
on the face is good for open pores. To
make this dissolve an ounce of refined
borax and half an ounce of glycerine
in a pint of camphor water made by
letting a piece of camphor dissolve in
water for a few days. If this is too
drying omit the borax or. use a little
cold cream.

The Ideal Girl

congratulate both of them for writing
such common sense. The girl who signs
herself "a Twenty Year Old Girl of
Today" is right in defending the girls
whom most people call tickle.
l must admit that great many fell
lows do not treat the girls they 60
with properly and in a great measure
they are responsible for the said "fickle-
ness.
The II. S. G.. wants to know what
kind of girl most fellows want
Well, l can safely speak for myself, as
I am twenty six and have seen quite a
few types, and so far I have not met
the girl I want, because my feminine
acquaintance are very limited and the
kind I want is scarce.
Give me the girl who knows as much
about the management of home as
she does about Dances. parks, ETC., one
who has spent part of her time learning
from mother, one who dresses well and
neatly instead of extravagantly and
gaudily and who is loving and devoted
but not "mushy." A girl of this kind is
worth waiting for because believe that
- per cent of the happiness and the sue
cess of married life depends on the
woman. What do you think

CELEBRATING anniversaries is a

CELEBRATING anniversaries is a
~ pretty sentiment, bringing pleas
ant thoughts of the happy day we
wish to commemorate. Happiness is
shared with friends all the way from
the form of a small dinner for the
year-old bride to buffet supper for
the silver anniversary.
The young housewife will find that
a small dinner or supper for eight
to ten guests will be about as much
as she can manage. The arrange
ment of the table is important.
Allow plenty of space, and, if the
bride is without maid, let this meal
by all means be supper.
Place the food on the table and
then allow the guests to help them
selves, passing the dishes in the
good old-fashioned way. Have a
wedding cake and arrange candles
for each year.
If more than a dozen guests are
to be present, then the buffet supper
is easiest to serve. The gentlemen
will serve their partners, as this
must necessarily be a plate meal.
For a buffet service have the table
covered with heavy linen tablecloth;
the centerpiece should be quite large
and snowy. Place the sandwiches
and plates, knives and forks and
other foods so that they may be
quickly and easily served.
A few chairs are required for con-
venience of elderly persons. This
informal meal is very easy to serve.
Have some one preside for the tea
or coffee service and to help with
the serving.
