Mum" is the Word
In Business, too.

Girls often ask mn What is the
greatest help to q young woman in
businessT The obvious answer is In
telligence, initiative. and industry.
But there's something else. Some.
thing very personal.
Now, don't smile! I don't mean
that all men In business are unduly
influenced by good looks, though un-
doubtedly q pretty and welldressed
girl has certain advantages.
what I mean by something very
personal is the sweet daintiness and
feminine charm that are every
woman's right.
"No matter how pretty a girl may
be or how carefully and correctly
she dresses. No matter what infinite
pains che may have taken with the
many details that enter into her
toilette. As the day progresses the
inevitable odor of perspiration and
the other body odors begin to assert
themselves and the effect Of her
careful toilet Is often completely
mafred. -

already described to me, and I
found that could not take my eyes

set all sorts OF strange, weird ideas
coursing through my usually cool
and well-controlled brain. ~,
He made his inquiries into Bull
ingdon's condition, and appeared
only passingly interested In the
strange cry of his delirium, turning
the subject with a shrug of his slop-
ing shoulders.

soon We were traversing Europe to-

which he showed an intimate first

talked watched him with a curl
GUS fascination which grew upon
me every moment; and I was In
tensely disappointed when sudden
ly he rose quite abruptly to take
his departure.
Burgess accompanied Miss Wolff
to the door, and /, following with
her father, could not help noticing
his manner toward her, something
indefinable and, perhaps, more an
instinct on my part than anything
else; but that, too, gave me much
food for thought during the sue

tine doctors and all OF US the great

touch-and-go, and several times 1t
seemed as though the thin flame of
life had burnt itself out. Ann re-

his over-wrought nerves.
And his delirium was as strange
as the rest Of the strange case. He
was continuously crying out "Wuf-
fles," not in tones OF love so much
as those of horror. repeating over
and over again the strange discon-
nected words: big dog !,
jumped over moon green

1t was his incessant cry day and
night when not lying still In q
stupor of exhaustion.
The words were so ridiculous and
bizarre in themselves, part and par
eel of the bizarre character OF the
whole thing, that must confess
that in their very nonsense, reminis-
cent of the old nursery rhyme, they
fascinated me and echoed through

rather than anything else, we were
surprised-and was delighted
70 hear that the professor and his
daughter had called to inquire after
the invalid, and were at tea in. the
drawing-room with Ann, awaiting,
our, return.
The daughter, Dorothy--a lovely
girl, as Burgess has already de-
scribed her In his statement-was
dressed In. white ermine with a cap
of the same fur, which set off her
beauty remarkably well-still In
her Winter things, perhaps not un-

SOMETHING IN YOUR EfE7
There Are Few Simple Rules for the
Removing Of Irritating
Particles.

Though many people have become
expert In the art Of removing irritat-
Ing particles from the eyes Of others,
a few words on this subject will not
be out Of place. In removing for
eign particle from the eye, ask the pa
tient to look down, and then take hold
Of the eyelash with thumb and fore
finger Of the left hand and pull the eye
lid downward and slightly away from
the eyeball. Next evert, or turn back,
the eyelld by placing midway between
the eyelashes and eyeball the tip of the
thumb of the right hand and make the
same movement that would be re-
quired to turn back the edge Of coat
sleeve.
If the particle is located on the in.
terror Of the upper lid 1t may be re-
moved with clean handkerchief or
a piece Of clean cotton placed on the
end Of toOthpick or match. If the
Irritating substance is not on the upper
lid try to find 1t in the same manner
on the lower lid and remove 1t in the
same way. When the particle is i'm
bedded In the cornea, or covering Of
the eyeball, 1t Is best to consult ply
sician or eye specialist. After remov.
Ing the particle from the eye it Is ad-
visable to irrigate the delicate mem
Der with bOric acid.
Under no circumstances should any
one touch the eye with a handkerchief
or other agent that has been mois-
tened with saliva or with the tip of the
tongue.
In treating the eyes with some kind
OF liquid medicine one should take care
never to invert the dropper after the
solution has been drawn into the
rubber end downward and the fluid
permitted to run into the rubber and
then back into the glass as the solution
Will very likely contain particles Of
powder that have washed off the rub.
ber bulb, and these may irritate the
eyes. Always hold up the rubber end
Of the dropper. THE fluid should never
be dropped directly on the eyeball un-
less the physician has so advised
The proper practice Is to draw down
the lower lid and place the drops on
the exposed inner surface Of the lid.
One or two drops are always sufficient
and 1t Is only waste to use more
