You're hurt, you're disappointed.
You didn't quite think you chief
would do such a thing.

year and hasn't worked as long as
you have. has been promoted. And
you haven't.
You go home and cry about 1t
awhile and then you begin to take
stock of yourself.
Elizabeth wasn't a bit better me-
chanic than you. She made mis-
takes occasionally and her speed on
the typewriter wasn't startling. Her
spelling was no better than yours.
She hadn't been any more %punctual
than you have for since the begin
ming of your business life you had
made it a point to be on time.
But there, right in the punctual-
ity, h difference between you and
Elizabeth lay.
Elizabeth had not only been pune
tual, she had been thoughtful.
She had not only been a good ma
chine on which her employer could
depend for so many hours of the
day-she had been a human being.
Elizabeth's Success
h had remembered his appoint
ments. Where, in his hurried die
tation his English had lacked some
thing of finish. Elizabeth supplied
it. She had an uncanny gift at dis
elimination and studied her m
ployer enough to know who to send
into his private office and who to
keep out. She acted as a sort of
buffer between him and the million
and n things he did not want to
be bothered with. She made it a
point to know the telephone num-
bers which he called most often and
was exceedingly capable in the way
of arranging Pullman passage or
getting the theatre seats which he
wanted.
So Elizabeth had been promoted
and moved into a nice little private
Office. Her thought had added dol
lars to her pay envelope. While

chanic. stay at the same old desk.

1 went to see Chrys, still bound In

Bob's twin and so like him, made me
hard instead of sympathetic.
What matter whether Chrys lived

How To Keep
Yourself Well

l have been very much interested
in your to questions on
health, so l come to o to ask il
you can suggest any exercises for
sway-back in a girl of twelve years.
Her collarbone is very prominent,
and often a faint white spot appears
on her right cheek. She has splen-

ANXIOUS MOTHER.
Before giving her any special ex-
ercise you should assure yourself
that she is physically sound and able
to do the work.
1t is well to understand in the be-
ginning hat corrective exercises are
not apt to correct the fault unless
they are taken in a correct position
and ~persevered in faithfully for a
considerable time.
The type of exercises for the Cor
rection of ''sway-back" are those
which bring the abdominal muscles
into play. L infer hat she is also
somewhat round shouldered, since

prominent" and this condition is
usually associated with forward
shoulders.
In all exercises taken in the stand
ing position, the head should be well

blades held tightly back and the
body swayed slightly forward so
that the weight lies over the balls
of the feet.
In sitting, care should be taken
that the head and shoulders do not
come forward, and the chest is not
allowed to sink in.
In lying, the elbows should be
held fiat on the floor.
If correctly performed the follow
ing exercises are beneficial:

SITTING: On stool or box, with
toes placed under the edge of a
heavy bureau, etc, for support. Bend
back As degrees or farther if a good
position can be maintained.
LYING: On floor on back. Raise
the straight legs to an upright posi-
ton.
The abdominal muscles, probably
because they are not much used by
the average women or girl, have a
tendency to become sore rather
easily. Hence. l should advise you
to go slowly in the beginning, in
creasing the work as the muscles be-
come accustomed to the exercise.
Finally. let me remind o that
outdoor play, such as tennis, golf,
basketball, esthetic dancing, are all
excellent to improve muscular tone
and body posture.
