EXPECT IMPROVEMENT
BY FIRST OF YEAR

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Improvement
in unemployment conditions in the East
is expected in some quarters by Jan. l.,
according to DIR. David Flynn, director
Of the New York State Employment Bu-
reau He said today many employers
had assured him the situation would be
stabilized by that time. Just at present,
according to reports from several eastern
cities. there is a labor surplus in some
lines, and this surplus is Increasing.
Flynn said he did not regard the situa-
ton as serious except possibly in the
textile and garment workers trades, the
latter particularly In New York City. In
many other lines, particularly building
and farming, there is an under-supply
of labor, according to his information.

NOT HELD SERIOUS IN
EAR WEST EITHER

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11-Trend of
the Pacific coast labor market toward
a condition of more men than jobs
was noted today by both employers and
employees. At the same time the en-
ployers in particular, and in several cases
labor leaders, emphasized a belief that
the situation was not alarming. Some
attributed the condition to the election,
the shortage of ships on the Pacific
coast, the railway car shortage, now
said to be ending, and the freight rate
increases recently granted the railroads.
Others laid 1t at the door of general
business conditions

The real cause for the shortage Of eggs
has come to light through the medium
of the above photo. Down in Santo Do
mingo the natives are so shy of orna-
ments to beautify their front lawns anu
such other things which help TO show
prosperity about ones dOmicile, that
they resort to the use of egg shells. The
spindles on the above pine tree is deco
rated with the shells of the eggs con-
sumed by the dusky natives. What an
Interesting combination If only the com
panion of this tree were a ham tree.

BootbLncks

Y. W. G. A. girls in one Of the New
York city associations have turned
temporary bootblacks, manicurists and
beautifiers to their feminine employers
in the Y. w. c. A. building in the
unique effort to raise goodly sum of
money for the national campaign. Not
only are pies, cakes and candies being
sold in the tried and true style of pre-
vious years, but a shoe shining parlor
has been set up in conspicuous place
to tempt the person hurrying through
the halls; beauty parlor" where
shampoos, manicures and all the mys-
terious wiles are practiced runs at high
speed in the noon hour and early eve
ming; and several button sewers and
darners take in all the weekly mending
that is offered. Through these small but
most necessary services the association
in question expects to raise consider
able sum to add to the general fund.

uOW long have you been carrying an
IL ambition about with you? Every.
body has some ambition--almost every
body. There are some of us, who seem
to be content "as 'is," and perfectly
willing to go on as they are because
it' too hard to do anything else. We
haven't very much respect for those
people. But the rest of us have, or
have had at some time In our lives,
very live, burning ambition.
Some of us want to write. know
one girl who has wanted to write for
eighteen years. Circumstances pushed
her into the business world and made
her n stenographer. She made good,
but the ambition was still flaming high.
Finally she got a place where she could
rest while and now she's going to
indulge that ambition at last. She's
going to take a short story course and
get busy at the thing she loves.
Some Of us want to be actors. We
can't on account Of parental objec-
tions, home ties, lack of opportunity,
thousand reasons. We peg along at
some dcspised task, waiting, wishing,
hoping, bottling up that ambition but
keeping 1t ready for that one chance
that may come.
Perhaps we wanttto own an automo-
bile. We have kept pictures of auto
mobiles for years, we 60 to every show
that comes along. We dream and wish
and hope. Then after while we say,
"Oh, what's the use !" and drop that
ambition by the wayside. We've had
1t for ten years now. and nothing's hap
pened. Might as we'll give it up.
We often drop them. We cling to
them and hope and wish and want for
years and nothing happens. We feel
sure that nothing ever will, because II II
was going to II would have long ago. So
we shake off our desire for that thing

"Experienced" to "PauI"

Dear Cynthia-Here am again and
I would like to say a few words to
paul" through your columns.
PAUL think that like you ! will
have to take few things back. When
! wrote before l did not mean to say
that all men we're alike. OF course, !
understand there are always good and
bad in everything.
But don't you think If you had had
some of the experience / had, you
would for a time judge oil by that
one? You know when you really love
some one and he skaters your dreams
and love, you feel pretty bad.
l said l lost all my love for him, but
away down in my heart there is still
a little love burning for him. I loved
him too much to forget him, but now
the hurt is dying away and l see man
in a different light. was feeling blue
when | read the letter of Thunder
and Lightning" and 1 felt that they
were correct. ! have met men since
and I suppose that it has been the
old love affair that made me treat them
well, sort of different and stiff. l
didn't want to fall in love again. and
will never kiss a man again unless i
am engaged to him and sure of him.
But now, own up Paul, don't you like
a girl better who let's you, kiss her
when you take her home than one who
refuses? That's natural. but take ad-
vice from one who knows-don't make
your kisses too loving, or there may
be more of these broken hearted love
affairs.
l suppose I seem an old hen to you,
but with it all / am only twenty. Per-
haps you think it was only what they
call puppy love, but 1t wasn't. may
be young, but have old ideas as would
been taking care of herself since she
was fourteen. That's what / have
been doing. Perhaps il had had q
parent, a mother or a father to help
me. l would not be as / am today.
Write again, Paul, / like your letters.
And you, too. Cynthia.

Don't Try Too Hard

Mrs. A. T. RI do not think
would expect the little girl to call me
mother" After all, no matter how
close a child may grow to step
mother, if she was old enough to know
and love her own mother she will not
want to give another her name.
Perhaps you show you are anxious
to win her. Be kind and gentle al
ways, and welcome her friends. but do
not try to Join in the party. Help her
with the refreshments and meet the
boys and girls letting them know you
are there if needed, but do not stay
around. Do not try too hard. And,
above all do not worry your husband
over it. 1t makes him unhappy and
uncomfortable and strains relations
between him and his daughter, and
between you and him.

Care Of Suede Slippers

To tho Editcr Of Wcman's Paoe:
Dear Madam-The writer would ap-
preciate it very much, indeed, II you
would tell her, through Nthe valued
columns of your paper, how to take
candle grease stains off the points Of
brown suede slippers. Also kindly ad.
wise how to take general good care Of
them; how to brush them; what kind
of brush to use, etc.
have worn these slippers but twice
and do not like to discard them at such
early date. A. Il. II.
Scrape as much Of the grease as pos
sible with knife. Then place blotting
paper over the tips and press hot iron
against It. The grease will melt and
become absorbed by the blotting paper.
You may have to repeat this to get it all
off. Use any kind of stiff brush for these
slippers; a five-cent nail brush will do.
There are commercial cleaners sold in
the stores that are very good for suede
shoes. Brush them off every time you
put them away after wearing them, and
clean them with the special cleaner
whenever they look dull or soiled.

"A NNE did not know what she had

was vaguely sorry too, that she had

Ideai Girls Qualifications

Dear Cynthia-Having been a silent
reader of your column for some time,
would now like to "chime in" with a
few Of what 1 can find of the things
that a man looks for in a girl; and /
think If more cultivated them less would
be Tilted. Try it, girls, and see if l
am right.
Be neat in appearance. Don't wear
very expensive things, but dress sensi-
bly,. Have your fingernails clean.
Treat boy friend as you would a
girl friend. Do not go with him for his
money, but for his ownself; not his
looks, but his ideals.
Dance, not vulgarly, but refined. Play
cards. BE a sport in all ways.
Powder and rouge in moderation.
Do not let the fellows kiss you, IL you
want their respect; neither let them
Glove you up.
BE nice to all and not just some.
When out tell them you have to be
home before O'Clock. Let them meet
your family. Do not meet them on
street corners. Do not go to "jazz
halls" and do not graft.
Do not chew gum. Do not use too
much slang, and learn to converse on
topics of the day, history, and not 80
much "soh stuff"
Now, girls, maybe this seems hard at
first, but am sure that II you could see
yourselves as others see you maybe you
would change in your attitude, etc.

THE STREETS OFLFE
Her First Concert
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHEL0R
Copyright. 1880. bv the Public Ledger Co.

Anne came hesitatingly and sat be-
side him on the step of the porch.
Ever been to band concert?" her
father asked after a moments silence.
Anne shook her head.
Like TO go to one, I'll bet?" He
stole a side glance at her. Anne was
silent.
''Wcll. Bill Snyder said he'd drive
over tonight and take you, and I'm 60
ing to let YOU 60
He waited for he knew not what.
Having repressed all enthusiasm in
Anne's nature for so long. having pun
ished her for the most trivial and
natural longings. he expected her W
eyes on him. to thank him. But she
did none of those things.
She was dumb. Any joy that she
might have had in going to the band
concert was swallowed up in the knowl-
edge that she was going with Bill
Snyder. She did not like the man; he
frightened her. but she did not dare to
confess this TO her father.
Better go up and dress" he said. -.
nfter n minute when Anne sat there
without saying anything.
She got up slowly and went into the
house. She came down to supper in
her one white dress, and as she was
about to enter the dining room she
heard her father say 10 Aunt Martha +:
"Anne's going to the band concert
with Bill Snyder tonight"
Aunt Martha mumbled something.
II thought she'd be tickled to death "
Jim Carter went on, but she never
said a thing when told her"
"Oh, she's glad enough" Aunt
Martha remarked. "Anne's a queer
one, quiet as a mouse most Of the time.
You We done we'll with her, Jim; begin
early with child is what l always
say. She don't seem to have much of
Alicc's foolishness about her, after all. -
She'll be different, too, when she's
married and in her own home" Jim
Carter went on. "Bill's no kid him. .
self; he'll appreciate girl like Anne
who hasn't been around with anybody
else. ] wish she wasn't so quiet,
though"
"Better quiet than one of those
chattering women like the Harding
girl" Aunt Martha returned sagely.
And then Anne, who felt that she could
not stand and listen any longer, walked
into the room. Her aunt looked
suspiciously at the flaming cheeks. II
Anne had used any Of that stuff that
came in little round boxes from the
drug store she'd be punished, big girl
as she was. But the red quickly faded
out Of Anne's cheeks and by the time
the girl was seated at the table her
face was quite white again.

Loves Old Charms

When worry walks the marriage path
AS you know Il sometimes will,
And little hurt would provoke your
wrath
Just tell your heart "Be STILL"
Remember then those other days
OF sweetheart hours and sweetheart
ways,
The June time, moon time loving plays
That gave your heart thrill.
Smooth out the wrinkles in your brow
And smile at loves old charms.
And take that old sweetheart of yours
Into your loving arms.
A tender kiss is not amiss
With your arms once more entwined,
And love comes back the long lost track
Through smiling years and laughing
years
To be forever thine.
