EASY COME, EASY CO

I chided young business woman I know on her extravaganza. She is making s2S week and has just or dersd a fur coat to be paid for out of most of her savings.
 She laughed. "oh, guess it's easy come, easy go."
 She did not have to tell me that. knew 1t. Unfortunately, 1t Is the case with many young business women. A bank official once told me that he thought the average young woman In an office was the most cX- travagant person he knows, consider ing what she spends in relation to the amount she earns. I really believe he is right.
 Are you one of those good-natured easy marks, prey to every peddler, solicitor and salesman who enters your office door? Do you let your self be sold a patent trick umbrella by sn.ooth-tongued solicitor only to find that the color runs on the next rainy day? Do you "falp' for all the solicitors of magazine subscriptions. club offers, who come to your door? Do you believe nalf these young men who claim to u working their way through college" who try to make you pay S2 deposit on a subscription? If you do. you're the proverbial "easy mark"
 The most serious part of the "easy- come-easy-go" philosophy of so many young business women who do not entirely support themselves On what they earn, and who therefore have plenty of spending money, is the way they let them be sold spurious oil stocks, mining stocks, and what not In an attempt at economy, believing that they are really investing, they

THE OFFICE DREAMER

From an obviously unhappy young woman working in law office comes a very well written l etter Part of 1t follows:
 q wonder whether there Is any place In New York where, for a good compensation, I can obtain a posi- ton in surroundings of culture, re- where my work will be aesthetic and not commercial; where I will not be restricted in hours, but will be able to come and go pretty much of my own free will, and will be able to take two hours for lunch, if de- sirable; where l will have sufficient responsibility, but no after-hours worry; where I will meet people of culture and broad education; and where few days off now and then will make no difference in the au- thorities."
 Note, gentle reader, that this Is based on good compensation"
 Dear Miss D. S.-If I knew of such a position, I should be inclined to in Vestigate 1t myself. What you want is a sinecure, not an office job. 1 am never really thought about what you want; you think you have analysed your difficulties, but you have not.
 wonder how many of my readers have dreams similar to those of this unhappy little lady. When you come down to facts, what Miss 8. or any one with similar longings wants IS an easy job, well paid, with prac- tically little work. Those jobs aren'r to be had these days, girls; they are all too few. If you want to earn good compensation" you have te work for it-and work pretty hard No business concern. however altru- istic, is going to pay you just to si' around and ornament "aesthetic sur roundings."
 True, there are fortunate business women who are perhaps placed IT positions similar to that desired by Miss s. But who are they? Women who have worked hard years anc years, and whose work finally merits a reward of this kind. It Is almost impossible to start at the top of the ladder; to get the prizes at the tor you must climb. And what Miss $ wants are the plums at the top, with out working for them. Business is not organized that way.
 Nothing is worth while unless you have to strive for 1t, and although you may have your dreams, you must be content to dream them while you are working hard.
 AS far as I can see. Miss S.'s prob lem is similar to that of many busi- ness women. She dislikes her work and would like better surroundings

VELVET BLOUSE

There always have been dressy blolses for afternoon wear and l guess there always will be. But w they are getting away from the us- ual lacy, fussy things we are used to associate With the word blouse" !" and are taking on new forms. A very smart idea is the velvet blouse. There are all varieties of these from elaborate fur-trimmeo things to very simple iones. Some arc extremely gorgeous, reminding one of the att tractive blouses worn by medieval pages. while still others take on the semblance of little tailored jackets.
 One of the more dressy sort can be worn with almost any Kind of a skirt and be suitable for afternoon use. It takes about two yards Of velvet and is made rather tight-fit ting. Use some dress with set-in sleeves for a pattern to have the armholes look workmanlike, and jlst cut the rest of the blouse straifht, cuffs cut a semicircle of contrasting quarter circle for each cuff. The blouse pictured is constructed from white velvet andNthe cuffs and deco ra tion from black, thus creating 8 very interesting and striking result. At the bottom of the blouse is a heavy patch of cutout black to con- trast the pure white of the upper part. The applique Is buttonholed with a brilliant jade green silk thread, which is also used to line the cuffs. A blouse of this sort is excel lent as a gift when something elab- crate is needed.

MURDER BY CHARMS

A Peruvian Indian to express dis like, fear, or to destroy a person who also. is an Indian. will mold an image of the object of his dislike or fear by using maize and the fat of 8 llama. He will then burn the effigy on the road where hls enemy Is expected to pass-and if he passes the enemy will die. If the subject aimed at Is a Spaniard, wheat and the fat of a pig are employed in making the image.
 In the Malay Peninsula a native takes the parings of the nails, hair, eyebrows of his intended victim aSd mixes them with his own spittle. These he moulds into a likeness of the obnoxious person by using wax from a deserted bees comb. He will scorch the figure slowly by holding 1t over a lamp every night for seven consecutive nights, saying:
 Tt Is not the wax that I am scorching.
 Tt is the liver. the heart and the splen of so and so,' that scorch."
 After the seventh burning the vic tim will die.
 Another Malayan practice Is to pierce the eye of the image and the victim will be blind; the stomach, and he will be sick; to kill the effigy Is buried while the native repeats the following apology:
 'It Is not. I who am burying him, but the angel Gabriel
 Frazer says this is explained on the theory that the native believes the angel Gabriel better able to bear the consequences than he.

Isn't 1t obvious that if you are in tensely interested in your work the surroundings do not make any par tlcular difference? The partial solL'- tion to such a problem would be, first to decide exactly what kind Of work you want. and second, to seek a position In that field. And when you like your work, are busy. inter- ested and happy-well, 1t won't make much difference if your work Is aesthetic and not commercial" The essential point is to pick out the kind of work you want to do-and then seek a position that will enable you to do it. If we attach less impor- tance to surroundings and more to being interested in a job, we will all be happier.

Raggedy Ann and Ragsedy Andy. and their friends were very much surprised when Raggedy Andy wrest- led the Hungry Howloon and threw him against the sharp corner of the organ in Mrs. Cookies front room.
 For. when the Hungry Howloon hit the sharp corner of the organ, 1t punched hole in him.
 Then when the Hungry Howloon shrunk and wrinkled and finally sagged to the floor, they all knew he was made of rubber, just like foot ball.
 Raggedy Ann felt sorry for the Hungry Howloon, so she picked him up and draped him over chair.
 "No wonder he was so hungry all the time!" Raggedy Ann said. "He is as empty as 8 toy balloon! And then, too. he could not have eaten a single one of the Cookie people, for
 This was indeed true.
 Raggedy Ann sent little Weakly out to the grocery to get small tube of rubber tire cement and while lit- tie Weakly was away, RagRedy Ann sat thinking and thinking.
 Finally she said, 'T feel sorry for the poor Hungry How1oonl He Is so empty and hollow! Now, if we could only fill him up with feathers, or cotton or something like that ne would not feel so hungry all the timer
 "Raggedy Ann always thinks of some kindness!' the nice Snitznoodle said.
 That is because Raggedy Ann has candy heartp Raggedy Andy re- piled.
 "It is very .nics to think of nice, kindly thingsr" the Cookie man said, And it is very much nicer when she thinks of the kind things after the other creature has tried to harm us. l. too, feel sorry, for the hungry Howloon and I think 1t would be nice to stuff him with ice cream and nice things like thati'
 So do IT. Mrs. Cookie said, 'I will run out to the kitchen and get some ice cream!"
 But the ice cream will meltv' Rag gedy Ann said, Let us fill him with cake chickens and lolly pops and cookies covered with candy icing and things like that, then he will never be empty!'
 So Mrs. Cookie brought out six cake chickens, two cake turkeys and stuffed cookie duck and Raggedy Ann took a pair of small scissors and shipped hole in the Hungry How looms rubber side so that the cakes could be stuffed inside.
 Then they put nlolly pops but took the sticks off first, so they would not punch through the Howloon's rub Der sides and puncture him if he sat down on them. This was all done when little Weekly returned with the I tube of rubber cement and piece of patching rubber. And 1t only took a minute for the rubber patch to fix the Howlono up almost as good as new.
 Then when he was blown up, the Hungry Howloon laughed and said T am not a bit hungry any more so I shall not eat any of youv'
 And Mrs. Cookie was so glad of this, she hugged the Hungry How loon and told him he could always live at the cookie house. So that is how another friend was added tc the little party, and why every one was so happy.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Arline-The small red veins on your face are caused by sluggishness of the circulation through the parts. It may also be due to a weakness in the walls of the blood vessels which causes these delicate little structures to dilate and to break. The late Dr. Shoemaker of Philadelphia advised the following treatment for this con dition:
 Saturate tiny pledgets of absorb ent cotton with witch-haZel and bind them over the parts at bedtime. Al" low the little mask to remain on during the night. He advised more heroic treatment which consists In painting flexible collodion along the course of the dilated veins.
 Gertrude S.-Yes, @ great deal can be done to relieve the condition ypu describe, but 1t Is impossible to give you treatment for so delicate con dition through this column. However I will be very happy to help you in every possible way if you will write me again and inclose a self addresse ed stamped envelope for reply.
 A Reader-You are doubtless sui fering from a condition of "acne.' Even though your skin doss not break out in the eruptive manner usually associated with our ideas on acne nevertheless this is what I would term your trouble to be. Now, acne requires far more strenuous treat ment than you have given your con dition. It is impossible for me to enter more fully into the condition here, but I will gladly put you in touch with the necessary remedies and outline course of hygience for you to follow if you will write me again inclosing stamped self-ad- dressed envelope for reply.
 E. L-I will gladly repeat the for mula for meal mixture. Here it is Oatmeal, l pound; almond meal and orris root, of each. A pound; old castle soap, two or three ounces Grind all to a powder and keep 1T dry container. Cleanse the face with this mixture by making g paste of a small amount and a little warm water. Rub this paste deeply into the skin with the finger tips and rinse off with repeated cool waters Then apply any remedies for the pimply eruption you are using. Car bolized zinc ointment is very good

BIC FALLING OFF
IN FEEDER CATTLE

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Feeder cat
tie on farms picking up weight for
the stock markets number about
fifteen per cent less in the Western
and Pacific slope states than at the
same period last year, the weekly
summary of the department of
agriculture says. In the eleven
corn belt states, the total number
of cattle on feed is about two per
cent larger than the 1922 figure.
Decrease in Nevada
I'm Western states, only Mon
tana shows an increase in cattle
feeding over last year, the depart
ment bulletin says. "This year, on
December /, the state was feeding
$4,000 head compared with $4,000
a year ago. Utah, Nevada and Cali
fornia show deceases from fifteen
thousand to twenty thousand head
EACH"
at seems probable that there will
not be sufficient stock for Pacific
coast slaughter in the areas that
usually supply it," says the sum-
mary.
Alarming Reduction, Says Metcalf
A census of the cattle being fed
for market in Nevada, taken as of
December /, according to Secretary
Vernon Metcalf of the Nevada Land
& Livestock Association, shows a
rather alarming reduction over the
past several years, totaling be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 as against
around $4,000 in previous years.
"This apparent shortage, Mr.. Met
calf said, sis due to a very material
extent to the recent sharp upturn
in the market price for cattle on the
Pacific Coast, which for fed steers
is rapidly nearing the eight cents
per pound mark on cars at shipping
point, compared with closing prices
of around six and one-quarter cents
for Nevada steers as the grass beef
run closed month ago."
Even More Marked in Lambs
Even greater reduction is ap-
parent, Mr.. Metcalf says, in the
case of lambs and sheep on feed in
Nevada, where estimates place this
number at around thirty thousand
to $4,000 compared with auround
seventy thousand to $4,000 for re-
cent years.
Feeders have lost money the
last few years, and feeding has not
been attractive" Mr.. Metcalf said
in explaining the lack of interest
in the business. "This reduction in
the number of feeders, coupled with
demand for fat cattle, has put the
price up finally where the cattle
man feels he will make a slight
margin of profit"
