Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come TO us on
Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to
$4,000 miles of service. And tales
of that kind are told everywhere. we
learn.
But mileage depends on condi-
tions-on size, care, load and road.
Millers are uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In our factory tests we average
$4,000 miles on cords.
But a Miller Tire will outlast-
almost always-any tire that you
place opposite, no matter what it
costs. Compare them under like
conditions, and see what mileage
modern tires can give.
You will gain a new criterion.
When you buy a new car insist
on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers
now supply them and there is no
extra charge.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.

BORROWING AND LENDING.

do not borrower nor lender be,
says Shakespeare, and the advice, given
some four hundred years ago, Is just
rs sound today as IL was then.
The woman in business is very apt
to be approached only too often by
persons, friends or acquaintance, who
want loan. It is hard to refuse such
requests. Yet it is better to do 50 except
under unusual circumstances. The habit
some people have of asking for very small
sums is bad habit. Such sums arc
apt to be forgotten, never repaid. Yet
they add up considerably, and the fact
that they are small makes it difficult
for the loser to insist on being repaid.
You can make an effort to get back q
hundred dollars that would be absurd
expended on one. Yet a dollar lent
again and again soon mounts to ten,
and c&n reach to q hundred without
losing breath.
Make it rule yourself never to ask
for these small loans. If you have to
borrow money do it on business basis
and for a definite object. Sometimes
borrowed money will give you an oppor-
tunity in business you could not other
wise secure. Sometimes illness will make
it necessary to borrow. At such times
don't hesitate, and make the proper
papers out, as any business house would
do IN such circumstances, even though
you borrow from a relative or An IN
innate friend. Insist on this, and be
sure to fulfill the obligations As you
have promised.
1t is not so easy to keep from lending
as it is from borrowing. But if you
don't want TO have to be q borrower
some time yourself, you must not allow
yourself to be too easily approached
Put your surplus into a savings bank
don't carry money round indiscriminate-
ly. If you have persistent borrower
to contend with, set to work TO save
for something definite, and when you
are asked again to lend something,
reply that you have already tied the
sum up. BE firm for awhile, and soon
you Will no longer be considered an
easy mark. There are times when il
Is happiness TO have money at hand
that can be devoted to the help of some-
one else. Only then should you be a
lender.

If Mr.. Porcupine had not mot Mr..
Fox coming along the path it would have
been all right and Mrs Fox would not have
have been angry with Mr.. Fox and re-
fused to mend his coat.
Mr.. Porcupine had been over to call
on Mr. Fox to talk over some wood
matters, and when he started for home
he found it had suddenly grown very
cold.
"Dear me-" he said, II do believe
/ am shivcriDg," which ratified the spincs
on his tail in such threatening manner
that the only thing Mr.. Fox thought of
was to get Mr.. p. started for, home
soon as he could.
'Tll nun in and get my heavy hunting
coat" said Mr.. Fox, which he did and
threw it out of the window, for he had
been told that Mr.. Porcupine sometimes
threw his sharp spincs from his back
when he was displeascd and he did not
wish to be within range.
That is not true though about Mr..
p, but he did not mind the wood folk,
thinking it was, for it kept them from
bothering him many times.

about how i wouldn't mind the weather

ARE You CLEvER1

There is many a housewife who has
gained the reputation of being immensely
clever merely because she has a fluent
tongue and good memory. What
she reads or hears or sees she remembers
and when she recounts it later she docs
so with much glibness. II she docs
some creditable canning or rcmodels
her childrens clothes or reupholster
some old furniture she is sure 10 tell
you about 1T, using deftness IN descrlb-
ing the achievement, bringing in few
technical expressions to make you think
that she is quite an expert-and the
result is that you think she is very much
clevercr than the woman who just plods
ment on her method and docs what
she can to make the old clothes look
fresh and the old furniture do when she
would like to have had new.
Now remember that there is just As
much real cleverness In the woman
who, when her husband comes home
at night, gives him the impression that
home is a peaceful place and a COM
Portable place 10 he rs the woman who
greets her husband with vivid discrip-
ton of the activities of the day, re-
counts with considerable sprightliness
the arguments she has had with the
tradespcople, clever way IN which she
has outwitted the gossiplnG neighbors
and dilates at length on the superiority
of her canning method over that Of the
other women in the neighborhood who
are not 80 clever as she is.
Maybe YOU have never thought of
yourself as being especially clever. May
be you envied some neighbor her
reputation for cleverness. But are
sure that you are not rather clever In
your own way yourself, and that there
is much of the really feminine type of
cleverncss in the ability to cope with
your own complex problem of house

but he had not gone very far when he
suddenly came upon Mr.. Dog, who WAS
going home after chasing Mr.. Rabbit.
At first Mr.. Porcupine ran, but Mr..
Dog chased him and then MIR. p. had
to use his weapons, and, forgetting all
about Mr.. Fox's coat, he raised his sharp
spincs and ran backward upon Mr. Dog,
which is trick Mr.. p has when his
pursuer is gaining upon him.
He drove away Mr.. Dog bowling with
pain, but Mr.. Fox's coat was ruined, for
all over it were holes not very large but
large enough so tie cold could get through.
When he returned it the next day
he told Mr.. Fox he was sure he would
find the coat nicely ventilated and as
for his part he thought il much better
for bis health than when no air could
get through.
Mr.. Fox looked at his coat with a
sad face and merely took il into the
house to his wife and asked her to darn
the holes.
Serves you right" said Mrs. Fox,
"and If you think | am going To spend
my time darning all those holes YOU
are quite mistaken. When you lend a
coat to Mr.. Porcupine again you better
put a lining of iron In it.
And that is the reason that MIR. Fox
and Mr.. Porcupine are nox on good
friendly terms nowadays, for Mr.. Fox
is afraid that MIR. =. might call again
and want to borrow his coat, so he passes
by on the other side whenever he meets

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman.
WHEN THE HOUSEKEEPER
ATTENDS A "FITNCTION''

please write an article on correctness
/ in dress, writes a reader friend. 81 am a
! busy housekeeper with no time to keep
abreast of etiquette, and whenever | am
asked TO luncheon or other function /
I am not sure. exactly, what / should wear.
| For instance, should one wear a hat at a
/ luncheon; NAV a watch be worn In the
| evening: and what kinds of gloves should
| one wear for all occasions? | am sure
| other busy housekeepers must be puzzled
| by these questions and would also like to
| have you write upon them"
1t is correct to wear hats at anv day-
! time function-luncheons bridge parties,
receptions, home or church weddings, etc.
| If one lives in a community where there is
less formaiity, however, good taste die
tates that one conform to the current
| custom. In case woman attends a
luncheon and finds herself wearing hat
amid hatless guests, 1t is a simple matter
to say to ones hostess: IF you viii excuse
me for moment / believe | will remove
my hat. 1t is so much more comfortable "
Nor need she feel embarrassed by such a
contretemps; wearing hat is the correct
thing. and by removing It she is making
a concession TO the other guests-only of
course she should not adopt an air of

Hats are not worn at an evening affair
where evening dress is IN order. AT an
evening function which is semi-publlc and
where all kinds of people and gowns
will be worn, one may take ones choice
of wearing either a simple evening gown
with no hat, or d smart afternoon toilette
with hat.
At one time it was considered bad taste
to wear a watch In the evening, and this
Is still the case as regards a watch on
chain. Small and beautiful wrist watches
may be worn, however, TO an evening
function mot those of leather Leather
wrist watches are correct only with
tailored or sports costume)
Colored gloves are not worn IN the even
ing except those of light biscuit or cham
pagne shades. Indeed, with an all black
costume the light biscuits are prettier
than the white, because of the less striking
contrast. Stitching is matter of taste,
although with a very dainty afternoon
gown it is perhaps the best taste to have
the stitching match the glove.
And now a word about shoes: French
heels are never correctly worn IN the day
time; they are strictly for evening dress.
A Cuban or fat heel should be used for
shopping, travelling and morning wear,
acoompanied by tailored suit or other
simple morning costume. Though, to per-
suade the majority of women to conform
to this rule, would be as difficult task as
