lawyer for instance, may, so impress
his friends and their friends whom he
meets at their houses with his honesty
and shrewdness that when they hap
pen to need the services of lawyer
they naturally turn to him. Or more
often they become personally fond OF
him and turn any professional busi-
ness his way that they can, simply
through desire to see him succeed.
So often doctor builds up a practice
through the influence Of friends and
acQuaintances.
But it would be quite another mat
ter for young lawyer when at the
house of friend in any way to at
tempt to gain the patronage of any
other of the guests.
One young man l know, who is hav-
ing an uphill time gaining his pro-
fessional education, was persuaded by
the promoters Of a stock-selling enter
prise that he could sell enough stock
in the evening among his friends to
pay all his educational expenses. Con-
virced of the merits of the various
sorts of stock that this enterprise is
promoting, this young man never
misses a chance when he Is invited to
the house of a friend to sell stock
either to his host or to one of the other
guests. He even tried to persuade a
young woman with whom he had just
been dancing that 1t would be to her
advantage to invest some Of her saw
ings in one Of these ventures in which
he was interested.
Needless to say this young man is
not asked to so many houses as he
used to be and If he does not mend
his manners he will find himself really
taboo in the little circles where he
once enjoyed an enviable popularity.

CANDLES OF BAYBERRY WAX

learned that candle making is not
difficult art.

that brass or copper kettles used for
melting wax made the gray-green of
hayherry wax much greener.

are not available.
One quart measure Of berries will
make medum-slzed candle. The old
fashioned candle molds are large and
require about two qurats of berries
for one candle.
The berries should be covered with
water and set over the fire to melt
OF the wax coating. As twigs and
leaves get In with the berries. il is
necessary to strain the wax through
sieve at first After the first strain
ing the wax should be relocated and
then strained again through coarse
