Winifred was intensely nervous
the next day. She looked for

Muir's call that evening.
Nor was her nervousness less

subtle air Of disapproval that
made Wfnifred intensely uncom-

ii CLEVER epigram reads:
"a IF You want q favor done,
IL ask a busy person" Ana
it is easy to see why this Is true.
The very busy person has just
one way to get all her WORK done
by system. Now system, ac-
cording to the dictionary, means
arranging ones work according
to rational principle''-in other
words, system means thinking
out ones work logically. BY
means Of system the busy person
wastes not one moment and finds
time to do a favor for a friend,
as the epigram declares.
Among the very busy. persons
Of this world are women who
work ''in the world" from eight
to ten hours each day. Yet the
average woman of this type is
most attractive. BY means of
system she finds the time and
means to be charmingly dainty
and well groomed and possesses
the fresh beauty that Is founded
on good health.
Let us consider the beauty
problem of the woman who
spends at least one.third of her
tWenty-four hours bending over
an office desk or at a similar
sedentary work.
