PUT YOUR HEART IN YOUR JOE. /,

A young girl who is just starting
out to earn her own bread and
butter. and cake, asks me IL I can
tell her how to succeed.
Surely daughter. Just cut your
heart In your work. Love your Job.
Go at 1t with enthusiasm, and you
cannot fail
Enthusiasm Is as contagious as
the measles. and IL you have a bad
case of II, other people will catch
it from you and break out in a rash
of faith in you and assistance to
you.
You can only interest others in
the things in which you are inter-
ested yourself. You can only con-
vince others of the worth Of the
thing in which you believe with xsl
your soul. Even God only helps
those who help themselves.
A woman, who is the highest
paid saleswoman in the country
once told me that when she first
started out as a very young and
inexperienced travelling saleswoman
that she was trying to sell a big
bill OF goods to particularly hard
shelled and grumpy merchant. She
wasn't making much headway, un-
til man. sitting near and watch
ing her efforts, put in a word that
turned the scales for her and cap
tured a splendid order.
When she later tried TO thank
the man who had come TO her res
cue, he waved her aside.
'Oh," he said. everybody will
help a person who is as much in
terested in her work as you are
And that's the whole of the law
and the prophets, as regards sue
cess, daughter. Everybody will give
you a boost up the ladder, II they
see you are dead bent on climbing
TO the top. but no one will shove
you up IL you sit down at the bot
tom of it. and look as II you didn't
care whether you moved up or
down, or had any interest in lad
ders, anyhow.
You are starting out as a ste
nographer. You are a little slow
You make a good many mistakes
Your spelling isn't as dependable as
II shrould be. II you are Iacka-
daisical and bored looking. and
dawdle around with the air Of an
early Christian martyr because you
have TO work at all, you will be
fired at the first slackening Of busi-
ness. or shelved to some obscure
place where your inefHciency will
do the least harm, and you will
never rise any higher or get any
better pay.
But II you go at your job with
enthusiasm, II you let your en-
ployer see that your very soul Is
concentrated on pot hooks and
typewritcrs. and that your every
thought is concerned with attain
ing the highest efficiency in your
work, he will be patient with your
mistakes, he will take the time and
trouble to teach you business
methods. and he will put you in the
line OF promotion.
It is your attitude towards your
work that counts. It may seem to
you not to matter whether you are

Everything in the room spoke OF a
loss. Of an essence gone, Of its
soul and lif edeparted. John Per-
kins stood among the dead re-
mains with queer feeling OF
desolation in his heart.
He began TO set the rooms tidy
as well as he could. When he
touched her clothes a thrill OF
something like terror went
through him. He had never
thought what existence would be
without Katy. She had become
so thoroughly annealed into his
life that she was like the air he
bresthed-necessary but scarcely
noticed Now, without warning.

pletely absent as IL she had never
existed. OF course it would be
only for a few days. or at most
a week, or two. but il seemed TO
him as IL the very hand Of death
had pointed a finger at his Sc
cure and uneventful home.
John dragged the cold mutton
from the icebox, made coffee, and
sat down to a lonely meal face
to face with the strawberry mar
malade's shameless certificate Of
purity. Bright among withdrawn
blessings now appeared to him
the ghosts OF pot rossts and the
salad with tan polish dressing
His home was dismsnled. A
ouinzied mother in law had
knocked his lares and penates
sky-high. After his solitary meal
John sat at a front window.
He did not care to smoke. Out
side the city roared to him to
come join in its dance OF folly
and pleasure. The night was his.
He might go forth unQuestioned
and thrum the strings OF jollity
as free as any gay bachelor there.
He might carouse and wander
and have his fling until dawn II
he liked: and there would be no
wrathful Katy waiting for him,
hearing the chalice that held the
dregs Of his joy. He might play
pool at MCClOskey's with his
roistering friends until Aurora
dimmed the electric bulbs IL he
chose. The hymenesl strings
that had curbed him always when
the Frogmore Flats had palled
upon him were loosened. Katy
was gone.
John Perkins was not sccus-
TONED to analyzing his emotions.
But as he sat in his katy-bereft
10x12 psrlor he hit unerringly
upon the keynote OF his discom-
fort.

The Head Nurse
LOduS.:
COMBAT THE DOUBLE CHIN.


In the flush of first youth we
laugh at the beauty parIor habitue.
but as we crawl up into the thirties
and notice in our mirrors a bit Of
sagging under the chin there is
momentarily a feeling of terror that
the goblin of age is going to get
us If we don't watch out" Kiddies
and young people keep fit by their
everlasting activity. The older one
grows, the more are the muscles
neglected. Particularly is this true
of the neck and chin.
Throw the head we'll back, at the
same time protruding the chin so
that the entire chin and tissues
just below it will feel stretched.
Keep them thus stretched and turn
the head slowly from left to right.
II persisted in this will surely give
symmetry to the chin. Some sore
ness of muscles will likely be felt
at first. This is a good sign as it
shows that the unaccustomed eXer-
else is beginning to take effect.
Another method likewise success
full If used perseveringly is to
massage by firmly pinching and
lifting the tissues with both hands,
the fingers meeting in the middle.
and then smoothing and pressing
the flesh from the chin toward the
ears.
The use OF the cold water spray
should follow either exercise: or
better still rub the muscles with a
piece of ice to tone up and bring
the blood into the capillaries.

from where most OF our ssucy little
feminine names come, jeanette has
been formally naturalized and its
birthplace is generally forgotten. Il
means grace Of the Lord" and has
its earliest origin in the old Hebrew
Joanna. a name bestowed upon the
holy woman OF the Gospel.
When Joan came into fashion n
England and named the daughter n
Edward II and other members of
royalty. France formed Jeanette in
accordance with their inimical habit
OF making a diminutive. Jean had
already been popular there and
Jeanette and Jeanne, which seem TO
have been used almost interchange
ably. became instantly in vogue.
Jeanne or Jeanette OF Flanders,
heroine OF the Henbonne, while

ranks with the great OF France.

XI and discarded wife Of Louis MI.

step farther and have a Jeannetton,

xLyu-A woRDLEss TRUCE.


1t was proof Of Alice osborne's
alarm lest some evil had befallen
her son that she appeared in public
without the formality of a careful
toilet
Lawrence regarded his mother in
acute embarrassment. No explana-
tion which did not involve the real
issue and subsequent disclosure of
his fall from grace, occurred to him
and Alison stubbornly refused to
help him out. She remained where
she was. staring a tribe insolently
at the cause Of her unhappiness.
With complete Inconsistencies OF
her part in the lovers quarrel, Mrs.
Osborne persisted anXiously:
Laurie, answer me. are you III?
Has something happened?"
Lawrence forced a laugh.
Allison and I were having a-er-
difference OF opinion. Sorry we dis
turbed you"
A look Of relief swept Mrs. Os-
bornes face. but her eyes hardened.
I should think you would be"
she observed coldly. but her glance
Of reproach was for Alison, not her
son. The whole neighborhood could
hear you. It's bad enough getting
home at this disgraceful hour with
out quarreling like "a couple of
fshwives."
Alison tossed her head dehantiy.
She didn't speak
Lawrence bowed, his young mouth
grim.

his bride.

He hesitated a moment; then bent
and laid his lips against her ear.

without a word to her daughter
in-law, she went out and Lawrence
closed the door behind her.
He turned to find Alison unhook-
ing her frock and giggling a trife
hysterically. Although he strug-
gled manfully to present a stern
front, he was forced to grin reluc-
tantly.
Lord. that was a narrow shave!
Do you notice my breath much?

she kissed him lingeringly.

few eccentricities, and grace of line

lures. Witness these two hats

The larger one Is of waterproof
