this. and did nothing herself. She said she had brought her up with the idea that her youth should be hap py and free from worries; now the daughter takes it as a matter of course.
 Certainly, the mother does not de- serve all the blame. It would seem that any girl, no matter how she had been brought up, or how she might grumble in secret, would feel com pelled to work under such circum- stances. Nevertheless, the original fault was the mothers. She is suf- fering through being forced to con- tinue her hard work. The girl is suffering from the adverse criticism and lack of respect of. all those who know of her behavior.
 In sharp contrast, I know of a woman with a son and daughter who have grown up knowing and appre- ciating their mothers financial diff faculties. She has made them feel her companions and people in whom she places confidence. The girl is now working, having received a good intelligent education. The boy is still at school, but looking for ward to going into business and shouldering his share of the family burden. These two children are as happy as any two l know. Their relationship with their mother is very beautiful and they are growing up to be responsible and fine char acters

A BAD COMPLEXION MAKES PEOPLE SHY
sHere is a sweet, attractive kind of grace, "A full assurance given by looks"
 ~ Ti --Cheucer.

There is nothing which robs girl or boy of confidence in themselves as much as that constant consciousness that everybody who passes them re- marks about the unsightly and dis pleasing condition of their skin. They get to where they actually feel like they wish the earth woald swallow tbem to get them out of their embar- rassing predicament.
 But they don't need to feel that way at all. If they would just use little common sense and reason with them- selves, they would soon find that many thousands of boys and girls who once were in the same condition are now happy, because they cleared their rough, pimply, blotchy and discolored skin by using the wonderful Beauty Bleach, which bears the well-known Black and White label.
 Black and White Beauty Bleach re- moves these disfiguring marks from the scarf skin without going below the surface and disturbing the skin tissue. It can be used day or night without anyone knowing it, because it is flesh color, and doesn't make the. skin greasy. The liberal package is eco nomically priced at soc, and any dealer can supply it to you.

BLOWING YOUR HORN

"If I don't think and speak we'll of myself remarked a young advertis- ing man, mo one else is going to do it.''
 I hear business men and women ex- press the same thought in various ways time after time. While I com mend it, to prevent the speaker from becoming too self-effacing and hum- ble, it often leads one to the other extreme, which Is just as bad.
 noted this while reading a letter of application for an editorial po- sition which young man sent to me for comment and approval. While I am sure this young man was not as "big-headed" as his letter sounded I could not help but smile at the vety over confident way he listed his abilities and virtues.
 My friends say I am an excellent writer" T have decidedly pleas ant personality" T am known as a good mixer"-these were a few as- sertions made in the letter of appli- cation. The writer had been taught somewhere that letter of applica- tion should set forth frankly ones qualifications for a position-and this is correct. He did not under stand, however, that there are two ways of blowing ones own horn and that 1t is as easy to over-emphasize ones good qualities in letter as It

 When I finished reading this very egotistical letter of application, 1 thought That young man thinks quite a lot of himself" It is all righs to think a lot of yourself but 1t IS another thing to convey that impres- sion to others in an unpleasant way. f When you write letter of appli- cation or when you talk to some one about yourself it is a good idea 10 tell the qualities that fit you for the position. There are certain thfngs you need not emphasize--such. as your personality. That speaks for itself personally-and need not bc mentioned in letter. It means nothing to the recipient because acer- tainly no one would write T have q disagreeable personality"

 The greatest of all parting hymns was written in 1882 by ]. E. Rankin, president of 'Howard. s@uniyersitys Washington, D. c. 4f .-eAs = The author, tells us that the hymn
 was called forth by no particular per son or occasioii; but was deliberately tcomposed on the basis of the etymol- ogy of the word good-by, which means God be with you.". < .; The hymn was sung for the first time one Sunday evening in the First Congregational church" in Washing ton. aef which pr. Rankin was pastor. E. Its immense popuisrity is attributed
 to two things. and first of all 'te the

 Toner was a brave soldier In the Civil war, was later on a clerk in the treasury department, and at the time of the composition of the famous air was e school teacher.
 Greatly. however. as the music aided tho power of the hymn, overtop-

 whom we say good-by in the morn. ing. :, "Good-by" Is oftentimes Farewell forever" and 1t Is no wonder that, pronouncing the word and looking into one another's eyes, the heart
 swells with an anxiety that Is as sad as 1t is sacred. V
