How to Succeed-How to Get

LIMITATIONS

TINE reason why many women full
i to make n success of their work
is because they are not careful in
studying their own limitations.
We all know that there are thou
sands Of people who think they can
write or paint or act or become mo-
ton picture stars, and who waste
years of effort in thus attempting the
impossible, ending in disappointment
and poverty where half the amount
of effort given to something they
could do would have brought them at
least a fair living.
But there are other limitations he
sides those of lack Of artistic talent.
There are bodily limitations that need
to be recognized. There is no more
use in attempting work for which you
are not physically capable than that
for which You are mentally or tenn
peramentally unfit.
Many people can do excellent work
II they are not obliged to superintend
or arrange the work of others. For
a woman of this type to try to run
a business of her own that necessi-
tates employing and managing force
of assistants is mere foolishness. How
ever we'll she understands the job
she will not make n success of 1t II
she cannot direct other persons. Be
cause a woman can trim hat smart

this seeming to hold good both In the

are Of gaudy colors there Is disap-

+! point In which the two worlds agree
that loudness of dress is bad form.
| Where they most decidedly disagree
Is with regard to the stealing OF
clothes. To steal clothes in your
dreams foretells great success in love
and business, whereas to steal them
outside of dreamland is frowned upon
by the law. Dancing-tights are en-
tirely out of fashion In Dreamland-

Seal Meat Good Food.

Seal meat, though valuable to Arctic
explorers. is generally unknown in
warmer climates. Records show that
10000 to 10000 seals are slaughtered
every year and from all accounts seal
contains the elements Of a valuable
food. Seal shoulder. as 1t is called. Is
packed in dry salt and later in brine.
In preparing the meat for serving
more elaborate preparations were nee
essary than in the case of horse meat.
The shoulder had to he soaked for 1s
hours to remove the salt and then
boiled until tender. AT the end Of the
process the result was that the un-
suspecting class identified the meat

and ate them under that impression.
