ONCE-OVERS

You may have your employ very capable persons
b YOU insist upon them doing their work IN your
individual way you making these employees less certain
in action and less useful to you.
Each person has certain lines Of thought and procedure
which are individual and from which ne may get as good
results as you do in your way.
Forcing such change their method to meet your
individual taste often upsets their ability to exercise
snecal talent that would be to your advantage
When you employee who has good natural to
do things why don't you try to improve his way instead
Of changing him over completely into your form.
Many good writer becomes bunglng one because OF
the MANY times obliged change his style TO
suit different whims of changing bosses
The most successful golf instructors have learned that
is unwise change middle-aged from his natural
way handling clubs to that of the 1pro the method
best adapted to young people
To help get results, consider his natural Way q
doing things.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland
And This Is Love!

TOW long, oh thou Simple One.
IL wilt thou seek to be Interest,"

thou nayest charm man with
repartee?
For, peradventure, . sweet
hearts voice il an inspiration :
but q WIFE,S voice il q cure for
insomnia.
Yea, 1t is as VerOnal as spirits
of ammonia, in the ears OF her
husband. 1t is as the washing of
waves upon the shore or the PAT
ter of rain upon the roof, a pleas
ant sound. but NOT exciting.
To. when was a bride. | was
astonished. when my Beloved fell
asleep in the midst Of a violent
quarrel.
But, now that / am a seasoned
wife, / know that no man would
stay awake for the mere sake Of
winning an argument.
For a wife's wailings and re-
monstrances, when her lord re-
turneth in the wee small hours,
are as the gentle drippings of a
fountain which lull him to slum-
Der.
And her cheerful chatter when
he cometh home from his days
labors IL as the buzziny of q
steam pipe or the chugging Of a
motor car, or the ticking of the
dining-room clock, q gentle ac-
compartment to his thoughts, but
in no wise an interruption.
And, her voice. when she calleth
him to arise in the morning, Is
as the distant signing of the
summer breeze. which disturbeth
him not, but only causeth him to
sink sweetly into deeper dreams.
Verify. verify, my Daughter, /
say unto thee, IL thou wouldst at
tract thine husbands attention,
close thy lips, and cease TALK
ING!
For, when a woman holdest her
peace, when she seeketh not to
make conversation, and neither
answereth back nor consenteth to
ARGUE, them doth a man lift up
his ears in apprehension.
Yea. then doth he trcmble as
small boy that knoweth himself
guilty and feareth to have been
found out. THEN, doth he yearn
anxiously for her to "beginl''
Alas. a wife's voice is as the
purring OF the cat and the sing
ing of the tea-kettle, q homelike
sound. and soothing withal.
But her SILENCE is terrible
and awe-inspiring thing. And only
when she hath become speech
less, doth he LISTEN with all his
ears.
For. every man knoweth in his
heart, that when a woman viii
not TALK, she is indeed most
serious.
And a mute wife malGeEh
