way is TO secure n radiator cover
that is made for this express pur-
pose and to regard that as sort Of
shelf upon which to place flowers in
summer and unperishable ornamen Is
in winter time. These covers have
gratings over the front that are
gllded or silvered or painted in har-
mony with the fiXings of the room
and there is left wooden frame
that makes firm shelf over the top

have the frame painted to harmonic
with your furniture if that happens
to be of the painted variety or you
can leave il with the natural wood
cover of this sort is good place to
stand a lamp, for that cannot be
hurt by the heat which surrounds it
and usually the radiator Is placed in
a corner where ray of light is not
out OF place so long as the radiator
cover happens to be good thing to
look upon. The shade on this lamp

women who want to advance them
selves. certainly. but who despise
their present salaries and jobs, that
] feel it important to talk about this
point.
To begin with, get this fact clear
ly in mind: The war is over. The
enormously inflated. fat salaries
that young men and women were re-

who took mems places-are things
OF the past. Business concerns aren't

Today, workers are more plentiful,
and. therefore, salaries are nearer

Now. then, what about your present
salary? You want to Increase it, nat

you are worth-to your concern?
The chances are you are, or your
concern wouldn't be keeping you. OF
course, I realize that there are hun

Ask yourself IL you're one of them.

merited a salary much higher than,
let us say, from $2z to $40 week.

other kind OF work.
