Don't Be a Cynic

~ YNICIsM is a killing habit of the
Il mind. and to the woman in
business 1t may prove fatal.
She will find herself in bad with those
who must work with her and she will
be bad with herself.
The type of girLEho is always look

pleasant act OF thoss with whom she
comes in contact, whose comebaek
when praise is given to some man oT
woman for what looks like a generous
or a thoughtful or a kindly act. is al
ways, "oh, yesi but what was there
in It for himf' Is not on the road To
popularity. still less on the road to
success. People will resent her atti-
tude and they will avoid her.
Some young girls think that 1t is
smart, to hold this cynical mode of ap-
parent cleverness. Those who are tru-
ly wise and those who are truly low
ing are never cynical. To misprise
and to belittle others, especially peo-
pie who are doing finer and better
things than you yourself. is common

In private life that type of woman

no going back and forth from one de.

II You Can't Paint

nm ANY women who have an art
iva istic sense but no ability to
n WELD the paint brush often
bemoan the fact that they can not put
into execution soma of the charming
things they see inl the shops. They
forget that there Is one substitute for
hand painting which in many cases
is more effective, save every colored
picture, spray of flowers, motif or de-
sign that you come across. Then when
you want to make one. of the attrac-
tive enamel boxes, put a spray on the
back of your painted chair, or deco
rate a lamp shade, select your pic
ture, paste it securely in place and
give the whole thing,-a coating of

in handy for just such treatment

Many object to plated wash dresses
because they are hard to iron. Try
the following plan: After attiHg the
skirt around the top and basting the
plaits a little way from the edge
stitch each plait all the way down az
near the edge as possible. Then stitch
plaits in position around hips. When
the hem is turned up, stitch the i'm
