CLEANING YOUR ROOMS
THE RIGHT WAY

Many women, in cleaning a room,
make more work tor themselves thar

un inexperienced housekeeper clean her
floors, then use a wool wall-fnop on
her wills, with the obvious result that
the clean floors received - fine spriuk-
ing OF dust and needed TO be done over
again.
Ol course few OF us make such glar-
ng mistakes. Yet, for the sake OF the
Beginner Housekecper, ! am going 10
give the following suggestions.

the girls in his Office powder their noses
every morning. Be on time in the morn
ing, but don't leave of an evening until
YOU have finished your job. You may
do n little work for which you are not
paid at the moment but later on you
will be rewarded with interest.
6-Don't work with one eye on your
job and the other eve on the altar. Most
girls never think it worth while TO go
at their work seriously because they
are expecting TO get married. That Is
a mistake. In these days husbands are
getting to be r~srities, and it is by no
means certain that every young woman
will get one. If she doesn't she has lost
out both ways. Therefore, do your work
as If you were going to make a life of it.
Then, If the man comes along, 1t is all
right, and if he doesn't come along, it
is also all right because you have some
thing interesting to do, and can provide
your own bread and butter quite as
well as a husband would be likely to do.
Don't be a semi-invalid. Don't
always be having headaches and nerves,
and telephoning down to the Office that
you can't come because you have this
or that petty i'll. Keep well, and strong.
and husky so you are physically equal
TO your job. You know very well that
you can do this if YOU want TO, because
most of the time when you wake up with
a headache it's because. you have eaten
imprudently or slept with the windows
closed, and you can generally trace
that tired feeling to having danced too
much the night before. Don't give up
every time you don't feel fit. Half the
time YOU can work off atriflipgailmcnt.
S-Don't firt and vamp in business
hours.
9-Don't'use the office telephone for
your own personal affairs and don't
phone you while you are at work. Moth
ing 81 exasperates n business man as
to have someone fail TO get him on an
important matter because Mamie or
Sadie is cumming up the wire spoon
ing over it with her beau. And don't
gossip with your chum while YOU are
on duty. The girl who has to be torn
'away from telling Geraldine about what
a perfectly grand time she had at the
party last night, and what she said, and
he said, every time n customer appears
is never the girl who is slated for pro-
motion.
10-Learn sclf-control. Check your
feelings in the cloak room when you ar
rive in the morning and don't take them
out again until you put on your hat when
you leave in the evening. Don't be on
the lookout for sights. Don't fight
and don't weep.
A cheerful, amiable personality is one
of the greatest assets that any girl car
have in business, and many a fault is
overlooked in the one who has the ability
to get along peaceably with her fellow
workers.
These tips will point the way for an,
girl to success.

4 young girl who is Just starting out
in business asks me il ] can give her
any tips on how 10 succeed.
Here are ten rules that. faithfully
followed, will enable any girl TO climb
to the top Of her own individual ladder.
l-Sit down quietly and made a cold
and Aspassionate study. of your W
talents and tastes, and tryto lind out
what nature intended you to do. Don't
take up some occupation for which you
have no turn because you think 1T is
romantic or aristocratic. IL God DID
not make YOU a writer, or a musician,
or an artist you cannot make yourself
one, no matter how hard you try.
Choose the kind of work you like
to do, for the only work we do well is
congenial work. We never begrudge
! the time or trouble we put in on doing
! the thing we enjoy doing. We are pretty
sure 10 fail at any occupation where the
pleasure of doing our task isn't hall
the pay.
2-Take the time and trouble 10 learn
how TO do the thing YOU undertake 10 d
thoroughly. Make yourself an expert
in il. The trade schools have proven
that they a take any girl of ordinary
ability and by thoroughly teaching heT
how to do the thing she is trying 10 do,
can double her efficiency and her earn
ing capacity.
You have 10 work Just as many hours
and put in as many hicks doing a thing
badly as in doing it we'll. The difference
lies in the results. Good work means
good paw. poor work poor pay, SC
prepare yourself to do the kind of work
that draws down the fat envelope on
Saturday night.
3-Dress your part. When you come
to work look like an efficient business
woman instead of a chorus girl, who
has Just strayed in from a midnight
frolic. You wouldn't have much faith
in the business ability of a man who came
to work in his dress suit. No more viii

Keep your mind $ o concentrated OF
