4 THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
{ By JESSIE ROBERTS
yT,TFTN UInHVCI VIvnDTC II ID
THE HOTEL WORKER.

TT HE hotel worker gets her board
l. and usually her lodging, as well
as her salary. The salaries run from
$50 to $3.50 a month. Hotel positions
are interesting and important. A girl
must have intelligence, a good pres
ence, good manners, and a level head.
She has responsibilities, and she ought
to be a judge of human nature. The
room clerk must have good memory,
so that even with large clientele she
will remember the different guests who
are making her hotel their home, and
she should be able to size up applicants
for rooms without hesitation.
The desk clerk comes into direct
contact with the guests. She is sta
toned at the desk in the main lobby,
and must be ready to answer all sorts
of questions regarding not only the ho-
tel, but the city. She must be smart
in appearance, have tact, courtesy and
unfailing good humor.
The floor clerk accepts packages, an
swers phone calls, pays for C. o. D.
parcels. She often does stenography
for guests. She receives, sorts and de-
livers the mail for her floor. And she,
too, answers questions.
Then there are the restaurant posi-
tons, the cafe cashier, the food check
er, the waitress. All these positions
are good ones.
Moreover, there are the summer hO-
tells where q girl gets room board and
salary. varying according to the type
of hotel. Many college women help
themselves through college in this way.
For the ambitious girl without def
mite training hotel work is to be rec
commended as an excellent way to earn
an independent living.

to find great favor among women who
do not hold to conservative under
wear. In nightgowns we haze the
1880 yoke and puff sleeve so much
featured recently in girls frocks.
Quite fantastic in design and colors
are the new models in lingerie for the
less conservative woman of fashion.
These are of crepe-de-chin triple
voile or colored linen in white,
trimmed with q color or in solid color
with the garniture in contrasting
shade.
Among some new designs in French
lingerie are elaborate models in closed
drawers. The new models are of the
closed drawer style. All the drawers
are mounted on an elastic band and
slip on like knickers.
Triple voile in both white and col
ors is q favorite material for under
clothes of this type.
On q model of fine white linen with
valenciennes lace trimmings the lace
is in the form Of insertion and edging,
the former being used as border de-
sign extending up the sides and join
ing the two sections in place of an
ordinary seam, while the latter forms
little tiers of ruffies on the sides just
below the band of insertion.
Another model in white linen with
incrusted motifs of white valen-
ciennes lace is cut in one piece and
barred by ladder-stitch embroidery,
the effect of panels. Each panel at
the bottom is cut into deep points, the
edges of which are scalloped. Be
tween these two pointed panels are
diamond-shaped medallions of the va
lsnciennes lace. These again appear
In each panel half way up the garment.
One of the newest underslips for
wear with lace or chiffon dresses is
combination Of white voile and black
chantilly lace motifs.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

By F. A. WALKER

To be able to answer all of those
ten questions correctly, offhand, would
indicate education, but it would not
prove knowledge.
The mind Of the college graduate
when he leaves his alma mater is in
much the same condition as the palate
of man who has tasted in rapid sue.
cession several varieties of spices.
lie is unable to make prompt and
accurate use Of what he really pos
sesses.
To the spice faster all the spices
temporarily taste alike.
To the graduate his information is
a conglomerate mass out of which he,
with great difficulty, picks the fact
which he requires.
Time will restore the accuracy to
the palate.
Time and application Of the knowl.
edge will enable the college man to
arrange his mental storehouse so that
he knows where things are and how
to use them.
Mr.. Edison does the college gradu-
ates an injustice when he says they
are uneducated. They are in most
cases educated, but they are un-
trained.
Education you can get in part from
books Training comes only with ex-
perience and practice, in applying edu-
cation.
st. Bernard, who was one Of the
greatest of ecclesiastics, writing to a
friend, said: "Trust to one who has
had experience. Stones and trees will
teach you what you will never learn
from the masters"
And Shakespeare, who had perhaps
read what st. Bernard wrote, put
these lines in "As You Like 1t"
"And this our life, exempt from
public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the
running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every
thing"

culiarly complete in that they included
table and bed linens. There were
tablecloths for formal occasions, rich
with deep borders of filet and Brus-
sells laces and beautiful embroidery In
bands and motifs, as well as scattered
designs, which frequently echoed the
pattern of the lace. One cloth OF
heavy linen relied entirely upon mar
row hand-hemstitched bars, forming
Interesting oblong shapes, for its deco
ration.
The tea cloths and luncheon sets
for more intimate occasions were be-
comingly of finer texture, with lighter
Brussels and finer f1let laces and EN-
broideries of an almost unbelievable
lightness of tracery, as well as cloths
of rose, yellow and orange linen en-
broidered In white. Especially inter-
esting and novel tea cloths and nap
kins were made of fine ecru handker-
chief linen. For decoration these had
applique borders in scrolls, conven-
tional circles or squares of self-mate-
rial.
Among the bed linens, to American
eyes the peculiarly French, deep over
sheet, with its florid embroidery and
monogram was of special interest.
There were large, square pillowcases
to match. For everyday wear the
pillowcases and oversheets were of
very simple design, having deep hem
stitched hens and the embroidered
monogram of the bride-tO-be.
Lingerie Conforms to Fashions.
The lingerie for these trousseaux

wonderful fineness. This was made
in sets of fthree-nightgown, chemise

THE DAINTY HOME TABLE,.

q VINCE linen has been almost proh1b-
y tive in price and the linen in our
chests has been cherished for state oc-
casions. the little Japanese sets, cloths
and napkins, which make no pretense
of being anything more than cotton
(but which have such pretty artistic
designs, in good colors) have become
very popular.
The well-kept dining table never
looks better than when laid with pref
ty doilies, which most women enjoy
making in their leisure moments.
The old fashion of loading the table
with all sorts of good things has
passed. We still have the desire to
be we'll fed but with more comfort
and greater health.
A dainty centerpiece of flowers or
q small plant always adds to the ap-
pearance of any table. Flowers need

more elaborate in character, were ex-
tensfvely embroidered, and all were
trimmed with deep edgings of real
lace, binche or valenciennes.
Lingerie this season is cut with spe-
cial relation to the type and silhouette
of the outer garment, which explains
the enormous vogue of black under
wear, made of triple voile. These gar

exception of an arrangement of very
narrow plaits, or are edged, top and
bottom, with q siX-inch band OF cob

Unique Designs for Less Conservative.
A new item in lingerie has made its
appearance, namely, the hip belt, made
of double pink chiffon, which is worn
to keep up the uncorseted figure from
too greatly straining the seams of the
new tightly draped dresses.

On many farms the dairy herd is not
large enough to demand a separate
barn; in that case a general purpose
barn is used. In fact on most small
farms this is the most convenient and
efficient type of building. 1t serves to
house not only the dairy herd but the
horses as well. In building this barn,
however, it is important to install the
right kind of equipment and use the
best materials. Extra expense at the
start will save money In the long run.
Many farmers make the mistake of
building a cheap structure without
realizing that it will not last any
length of time, and will be a contin-
ual source Of trouble and expense as
long as he has il on his farm. The
farm barn should be carefully planned
on paper. before it is built and all
possible angles considered carefully.
Then when it is built it will be a
source of pride and real satisfaction to
the owner, and a wonderful asset in

The German peoples party n the
democrats alone OF the present coali-

litter alleys are also equipped with car

carry the and litter directly
from the stalls to the manure pit. All
stalls are divided by steel partitions
and fitted with sanitary stanchions and
drinking cups. These features are i'm

by the farmer. A steady water sup
ply, such as is furnished by individual
drinking cups helps TO increase the
milk supply and also eliminates the
work of driving the cows TO a trough.
All along the stall floor are high

of daylight TO make the stalls as cheer
full as possible. Fresh air inlets in
the cow barn, as in the horse section,
provide plenty of fresh air at all

poisonous gases which are liable to
settle neal the floor. At n end OF
the cow barn are two pens for cows

RAILROADS MAKE FINAL
PLEA FOR WAGE CUT

Chicago, May 7.-Railroad repre-
sentatives made their final drive for
a wage slash on behalf Of nearly 100
carriers before the railroad labor
board today. Devoting most of their
argument to denials OF the charges OF
waste and Acknowledgement made by
the employees, counsel for the roads
finally east the charges aside as irrev-
Giant and stood on their original con-
tention that a In OUTSIDE indus
tries and the cost OF living had de-
clined.
The board was told it should con-
slider only the factor aid down in the
transportation act in fixing just and
reasonable wages by II. w. Sargent,
solicitor for the Chicago and North
Western. w, j.. Lauck, the unions
economist, had asked the board To
abandon those factors, he said.
Bauck's Reasoning.
IF. the board should set up a stan
dard of a so-called living wage for
five. as urged by MIR. Lauck, the board
should also fix a different standard
for different sizes OF families n for
industrials," he said. The very
statement of the proposition Illus
trates how impracticable it is to APP
ply the theory.
Il maintain that if the former wage
award was jast at the time it became
effective May /, 1919, it follows that
a reduction of compensation must be
granted in view of the overwhelming
evidence regarding changed condi-
tons" To adopt the theory OF the
living wage rs a basis for determin-
ing railroad wages would be to ac-
cept IAN untried theory of state So
cialism or to countenance creation
of "a Alper-privileged Glass; accord
ing to John c.. Walber, summing up
the testimony of the carriers. Mr..
WaIber, who represented the eastern
roads, completed the roads rebuttal.

A popular novel had been dramatized
and all the critics declared that, while
dramatic art had not been trans
gressed and<a all the scenes were as
true to life as in the novel, something
was lacking. 1t was soon discovered
what was the matter. The story
ended %unhappily. What n may like
in literature, one doesn't in drama.
SO the third act vas rewritten and
a joyous climax substituted. The
effect was instantaneous. 1.-The re-
ception of the play" we learn, was
electric. Those who were seeing it
for the first time were thrilled with

Those who had seer 1t in Its first form
marveled at the ~qulckening of the

And yet the cognoscenti agreed
with n voice that the story which
closed in unhappiness was the truer
art, with its logical and Inevitable
finale. Nevertheless, one of the noted
critics who came to the revised per
Torrance said: "Ill have to admit
that I'm lowbrow. l like the accepted,
