BUSINESS POT-POURRI

The game of business to be a success requires as nourish-
ing a stock, as many ingredients and as much seasoning as
does the delicious pot-pourri that you may serve your guests
at dinner.
The foundation for your business potpourri, the stock
from which your entire business career is made, is what? Is
it integrity, intelligence, industry and initiativef Without
these things there would be no strength, no force, no founda-
ton to your business career. These are the marrow of your
stock, the qualities that give substance, richness and real
value to your pot-pourri. Are you sure the stock Of your
business pot-pourri is made Of these valuable substantial and
essential ingredients9 Before anything else, secure these for
your foundation.
No matter how substantial and nourishing the foundation
unless it is wellflayored your pot-pourri will never gain popu-
larity. With what are you flavoring your business pot
pourrif There is nothing that will enrich it more than cour-
tesy. Without tact it is incomplete and optimism adds much
to its savoriness. The addition of personality gives a SUBJ
tie flavor which is distinctive and delicious. Naturalness,
neatness, keenness, system, patience, these are all essentials of
the successful business pot-pourri. But all Of these without
the Ingredient g~ood-health would be flavorless. So put a good
supply Of that in your pot-pourri.
To give it zest, to season ii, to make it unusually palatable
and delicious add a dash Of humor. Salt and pepper it with
enthusiasm and vision.
Remember that a ~pot-pourri is always more delicious af-
ter it has stood q few hours, for then the ingredients have a
chance to combine and blend, making the flavor much richer.
So don't expect of life immediate success. Have patience.
Let time combine and blend your business abilities, and sue
cess will then be the name of your business ~potpourri.

Miss Edith Ohariick
By MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, - Society women
are among the highest types of
mothers we have in the country to-
day. =.
"Debutantes develop into splendid
mothers.
Daughters Of first families usual
ly have from four to six children,
sometimes more"
This version of high life" comes
from Edyth Charlick, who manages
an agency that supplies babies
of New York.
THE young mothers of today have
become well educated in the way
In which their babies should be cared
for,'' she continues. "They demand
the best Of training In their nurses
and are constantly reading and
keeping themselves up TO date in
child lore.'
Nurse Agency
Miss Charlick started her agency
nine years ago and now has 5419
babies nurses registered with her
Each nurse to qualify for the care
of babies must have a high school
education, two references from ply
sicians and one from a family, and
must hold a diploma or certificate
from a recognized nurses training
school.
With these she may command
from $40 to $125 dollars a month
and have every expense of living In
cluded in her contract. The nurse Is
so much in demand that she can
choose where she may go for the
summer or winter.
Real Mothers
I find no class of people more re-
~sponsive to interest in babies than
the society girls and those who have
every opportunity to submerge their
maternal interests in the pursuit OF
pleasure.
Il believe 1t speaks well for the
future of the race when the richest
women OF the country are so inter-
ested in baby welfare and In having
large families"

Sister Mary Tells
How To Put Up
Canned Tomatoes

The woman who would serve her
tomatoes economically during the
late summer and early fall will buy
them by the basket rather than the
pound. Use what Is needed for the
table and can the rest. All foods
are cheaper bought in large quanti-
ties and tomatoes are SO easily taken
care of that it pays to purchase
them in pecks and half bushels.
Canned tomatoes can be served in
SO many different ways that the av-
erage family seldom tires of them.
And in the winter when fresh vege-
tables are SO scarce and so high
priced tomatoes once a dav or three
or four times a week help to keep
the food bills down and the family
In good health.
Dieticians consider tomatoes quite
as high in valuable vitamines as
oranges. They give tomato juice TO
babies In place OF orange Juice these
days.
Tomatoes are canned by the open
Kettle method or cold pack. II want
ed for salad the cold pack method is
more satisfactory as the fruit stays
whole. II canning two Or three cans
at a time 1t is perhaps quicker and
easier to use the open kettle method.

large pan and pour boiling water
over them. Let stand till skin wrin-

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF WILLIAM MORRIS
She Not Only Nurtured His Mind but Virtually Saved His Body
Unceasing Care and Devotion
By MARY ADRIAN

A heritage from his mother and
her forbears was the genius of VIII
liam Morris, famous artist and
craftsman, who with his comrade,
Dante Gabriel Rosetti. and a few
others, established the pre-Raphael-
lite school of art and letters. Emma
Shelton, his mother, came from h
old, prominent family, which traced
It's origin back as far as Henry VII.
Although they were for the most
part merchants and landed gentry.
the Shelton family had a strong
strain of music and art in its veins.
Several OF the men in the family had
spent their lives In the field of mu-
sic, and Emma Shelton herself In
herited a deep and understanding
love of beauty in all its forms, which
her son, in turn, inherited from her.
There was also a strong, inherited
love of the Middle Ages, their his
tory, art and civilization, which was
reflected in his work.

Education petracts from Mans

Education Detracts from Mans
In view of the vast number of
young women who walked off with
scholarship prizes and honors at the
close of the last college year, a fem
mime contemporary raises the Ques-
ton, rs it worth while to educate
men?"
She points out that the Celestial
scissors shaped men to certain def
mite ends, such as handling axes,
bayonets. spades and picks.
Trained properly, men are good
hewers of wood, good killers, good
diggers. These things are their
sphere. And 1t Is apparent from the
first that education detracts from the
manliness which Is mems charm.
Intellectual pursuits soften their
muscles and, worse yet, put ideas in
to their heads"
What she points out is true, of
course. But we are inclined to be
broad-minded. If men want educa-
ton, and enough of them want 1t
badly enough, we r in favor of per-
hitting them to have 1t.
On the other hand, we do not be-
lieve the heavy responsibilities of. a
college education should be forced
upon any man who prefers to pursue
the natural tasks that are his by
tradition.
We Observation-Disclosures mems
brains are different from women's.
But we are not of that narrow
visioned group Of women who be-
lieve that men cannot learn.
On the contrary. we have high
hopes of the country's future when

else besides mathematics, as applied

SAN DIEGO, Calif.- The next
time Mary Ellen starts out for the
country club dance, tell her how
pretty she looks and that she's go
ing to be the most graceful dancer
on the floor.
For a consciousness of ones per-
sonal appearance will do moro than
all else to clear UP the Jazz era of
dancing, says Hulda Tanker Of this
city. It's been 80 years since Hulda
Hanker started telling young peo-
pie the why and wherefore of the
heel and toe. And in all those 80
years she's never encountered a
young person who insisted on going
to extremes in dancing.
THE cheek to cheek and the
c~ake-eater's clutch couldn't exist,
she says, "ff young people realized
how they look.
years ago I became convinced
that so-called vulgarity in dancing
didn't arise from vulgarity at all.
It merely comes from exuberance.
Young folks get tired of doing the
same old thing and want to try
something different.
Self Predominant
'"Then is the time to turn this ex-
ira exuberance into thoughts Of
self. Yes, I mean it. There is a
consciousness of self which every
one should have. Selves can ex-
press crudeness and vulgarity or
they can express grace and beauty.
IF a young girl in my classes
shows a tendency to want to clutch
her partner about the neck, I don't
tell her outright that 1t is in bad
taste. Instead, I praise her clothes.

In addition to fostering his youth
full mind, Mrs. Morris had also to
foster his youthful body, for William
Morris as a child was exceedingly
delicate. He was the third Of nine
children and was a great favorite
with his mother. who devoted her
self to keeping him well. His weak
ness as a child undoubtedly brought
him closer to her, and her devotion
was tremendous. She coddled and
petted him, coaxing a falling appe-
tite with all manner of dainties, and
literally keeping him alive, as she
used to say later "by e of jel-
lies and broths." It was her unfail-
ing devotion that reared him from
delicate childhood to hardy man.
hood; and 1t was her fine mind and
love of beauty that helped him
achieve his later greatness.

HONOR SOUTHERN WOMEN
BY MARIAN HALE
(NEA Service Writer)

NEW YORK-The southern wom-
an, known universally as a beauty
and perfect hostess, Is in revolt. She
wants 1t to be known that she
do more than preside over q tea urn
gracefully-that she Is among the
best educated women in the country.
And she has figures to prove 1t.
THE social butterfly is proving
herself in the business world, in poll
tics and in the professions, and she
believes that 1t is high time the
world realizes It," says Miss Helen
P. Mccormick, field secretary of the
Southern Women's Educational ALI

southern woman, was formerly as

the first woman to hold such a post
in New York City.

this country which can boast a
woman in the House of Parliament

points out.

But these women are anxious to

Mccormick, and so the Southern

they say, ito build a permanent
