THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
BY JEAN NEWTON

Once out they stay green independent of the sun.
 The remedy is faith and hope and turning forward. It always work s-- and we have better proof than a metal weight attached to a pasted pIate-
 Most of us have met the girl who said her life was blasted-and it real ly seemed it was. Didn't faith ard hope and turning forward and never looking back mend it so that today there is not the slightest trace of any scar?
 Surely you know the man whose health and joy in life were broken by his failure And you know how ap- plying the remedy mended both for him.
 The hearts that were broken by be- reavement and said mo use''-even those we have seen healed and mend : ed to be sound and strong, yes al most happy
 This is stronger proof than the vendors metal weight. And if when we find that something vital has been cracked or broken we will so eagerly and so confidently apply the remedy as we stand in line to buy mendina paste-why there's nothing-.abs l lGtely nothing that can't be mended.

NEW YORK-"The executive who through vanity or egotism must busy himself with every detail and inn poses his ideas upon his subordin- ates. kills initiative. impedes prog ress. clutters up his mind and wastes his time"
 Thus says Miss Henrietta Ried. who as assistant to Irving T. Bush. president of the Bush Terminal Com pany. supervised the work of 5000 men.
 Power and authority. unless tenn pered by a strong sense of responsi- bility Is intoxicating" she adds There Is always the danger that the possession of power will result in an exaggerated egotism. leading to the assumption of superior abilities"
 Miss Reid believes that women have a distinct place in industrial, finan- cial and domestic life
 ..If business ethics and standards of practice have not improved since women have begun to participate with men in its conduct. the re- sponsibility rests with the women. she says.

 Hair ornaments may do and be all most anything this year. They may go as far as real jewels set in platin- um bands which wind sinuously though smoothly gathered locks or they may content themselves with a band of tulle.
 And indeed the band of tulle has become something of a factor in the making of the head lovely for even ing events. The band is worn quite low at the front and follows an al most straight line to the back of the head where it finishes in huge bow The how should be made with the

Accessories Make
 GolDn of Today

NEW YORK-Wherein a few years ago dress was a dress and a purse a purse and one simply put them on and wore them or used them. now-a- days feminine dressing has become matter of selection of accessories.
 No dress is complete in itself and each gown has in it the possibilities of several gowns by the mere chang ing of accessories.
 Thus designers have given them selves more and more to the creation of those fascinating trifles women

many women depend for accenting their gowns. They are smart and are found on many of the recent impor- tations.
 Some of the clever bouquets are fashioned like tangerines and sur rounded by very deep green leaves. The ribbon is occasionally of third color or of black but usually matched the fruits.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB


IT HE Importance for the business
i or professional woman of be-
longing to club is real one. WOm-
ems work both in business and the
professions is still in fluid condition.
Changes are in progress, new stand
ards are being established, and the
effect of the vote is being felt. To
get the benefit Of these changes, a
woman needs to know what is being
done in her special neighbOrhood and
by her group Of workers. There is no
better way of doing this than by join.
ing a club, especially a club affiliated
with the Federation Of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
1t is not only the direct contact
with other women working in your
own field that benefits you in such
club, but the contact with women
in other branches. With that comes a
widening Of opportunity. The woman
not happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club &C
quaintances and club activities. She
is constantly aware Of what Is going
on, and she sees what is being done
by other women. Together with them
she can direct her effort to putting
through proposed schemes for better
ing the standing Of women earners.
A good business club for women is
an asset to any community. If there
is no such club in your community,
start one. Get the other women to-
gether, get in touch with the feder.
alton. and start your club. 1t will be
an assistance to every business and
professional woman III your town.

most Of its own trimming, and when
two-tOned, or changeable silks are

sible with them are not to be resisted.
Even in dark colors and black, taf-

It's only decoration appears in little
needle work at each side which ex-

opportunity for lace or net collar and

best of them are hand made, with
considerable number of tailored styles
among them having high necks and
long sleeves.
The most notable new feature In
georgette blOuses is the introduction
of the "tie-on" styles. These are
blouses that form their own girdle, be-
ing cut to extend below the waist line
at the front and to form sash or
girdle at the sides and back. The
georgette blouse is called upon to give
the dress it's character, transforming
street suit or separate skirt INTO
formal costume. The blouse pic

purpose. made with a long peplum
and handsomely embroidered. Soft
crepe de chine is treated in the same
way and both these fabrics provide
a wonderful medium for lovely and

unusual in the styles-an exception to
the rule of short hlOuses for spring.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DUN."

r IKE boycott" "jazz," "bun-
II combe" and a number OF
other words which are now ac-
knowledged members Of the
English family, dun" had Its
origin in a man Of that name-a
certain John Dun, VINO was con-
stable in England during the
early part Of the last century.
Dun, as might be supposed,
was a past master of his profess
sion, a successful collector Of
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
cal,ous for him to prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment in one way or another,
One Of the constable's pet
schemes was to call upon a
debtor twice, and on each of his
first two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then, If
the debtor still refused to pay
and there was no doubt that OBJ
,igaiion should be met, Dun
would adopt the stratagem OF
dressing in some outlandish cos
tume-a scarlet cloak or q pair
of green tights-so as to make
himself as conspicuous as pos
sible. Thus attired and ringing
q bell In order further to pro-
claim the reason for his visit, he
would return, and it was seldom
that the debtor withstOod more
than one of these public an
nouncements Of his delinquency.
Because Constable Dun was
so successful In the collection
Of money due 1t became common
la such cases to say, you'll
have to send Dun for your mon
ey" or you'll have to, Dun him
TO get it," and the expression
persisted long after the con-
stable himself was dead and for
gotten.

Something to

THE JOB AND THE MAN
DE- Wo1Lar
ByF. A. " Walker

II VERY man and woman should
T. have a budget. Their should be
a businesslike apportionment, of what
you earn, to your needs and your
tastes.
You will have to assign so much to
rent. 1t used to be 25 per cent in
the ordinary income. Now it averages
more.
There will have to be an allowance
for food and clothing, for the doctor
and the dentist, for amusement and
pleasure, for necessary travel and for
unnecessary extravagances, for we all
have our extravagances.
All these things will be promptly
listei and thoroughly looked. after.
We shall probably be particularly lib
eral with those items which mean the
least In the sum total Of human hap
piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
will be made for it, will be the devel-
opment and betterment Of our minds.
How much money did you spend last
year on worthwhile bOoks-books you
are keeping to read second time
books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filling your mental storehouse with
facts useful in daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa-
tion as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would it be half the time that you
spent dancing?
Do you consider that MONEY is the
only thing you spend?
TIME is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth OF
all the universe, in all the ages, buy
| one minute of time nor bring back for
another and a better use wasted
hour.
[ Lord Brougham, man who spent
his time wisely and profitably, wrote
down this short sentence filled with
| good advice: "Read something Of
everything, and everything of some
thing"
There is no excuse for any man,
woman or child past twelve years
spending less than half an hour day
with a good book.

you did that for only one year?
| knowledge is the freest, the most in

think less of it than Of anything else.
Stop making pet Of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your clothes.
Give up some of the useless things
upon which you spend and waste your
time and your money.
Make up a budget Of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in it
a liberal allowance for your mind, for
your intelligence, for your thinking
powers.
What you have inside your head
no robber can get, no Ponzi can trans
fer to his pockets. Not even old age
can destroy it. and perhaps not even
death can take it away from you.
