strained over long periods. The
tiny muscles which control the adj
iustment of the eye lenses become
stretched and are unable to- func-

If you have ever been deprived
of the use Of your eyes for ever a
single day, you will be quite will
ing to stop abusing them and TO
give them the rest and the proper
light they require.
IF. from reading by a poor light

you have strained your eyes, try
bathing them in an eye-cup with a

DEAR MRS. WILSON:
, Romance and Business
BY Social Secretary.

SC(A
she expects of business. Or, more
obviously, she wants to be "the
only girl in the Office"
So what more natural than that
she should seek a job in a bank?
Banks are full of men, and al
though many Of them are at last
employing women for clerical Jobs
"a few for higher-t-pe positions
the women are in the minority.
What could be a nicer mart Of
romLnce than a bank?'
But, alas, there are some cruel
ones who frown on sentiment.
There are at least three in New
York who discourage as much a.
possible intermarriIge between
employees. When, despite all bar
riers, a couple do marry, one has
TO resign. In enc bank the young
woman sends in her resignation
by request. Others, with great
~liberalnes Of spirit, leave it to the
happy pair to decide which shall
give up the job, the man or the
woman But the bank is firm
they will have no married couple
working on the premises.
When you realize what the sal
airy of most young bank clerks is
you can understand the cruel dis
appointment to those two Young
Things who figured how perfect
every thing would be wEen thev
pooled their incomes.
VI course, even astute bankers
can't always outwit Young 1--we.
And despite eternal vigilance. thew
do say that there are, within the
solemn walls Of these self-same
banks, some happy young couples

hours that none in authority know
they're married.

costs more than the less efficient
short file but then, it's worth more
and after all a file does last q long
time. This same thing holds true
with all Of your manicuring acces-
series.
The necessary tools for manicur-
ing are a long, flexible file, a nail
scrapper, orange wood sticks, en-
cry boards, cuticle clippers, cuticle
scissors, nail brush and a buffer
if you use a dry or paste polish.
The preparations you will need
are a bowl of soapy water, a prepa-
ration to soften and loosen the
dead cuticle, whether il is a soft
ener or remover (there are two
kinds of preparation for this and
both are good, bleach, nail polish
and nail tint.
And now for the various steps

you were perhaps misled by the way
she carried herself, you were re-
minded that five feet, three inches
isn't tall. IL you were tempted to
think Of her as pert" she might
turn a pair of incredibly blue and
more incredibly soft eyes upon
you-and give the lie to your def
milton. There were no two WAYS
about it-you couldn't label Bar
bara Donnes. So you sighed, muir

at that.
But at nine o'clock on a certain
Spring morning you might have
noticed a nervousness about Bar
bara Donnes that was unusual. For
she was %hurrying to an office
building two blocks away, in
search of a job. Life at home had
not been pleasant since she had
lost her old position. Mrs. Donnes,
a widow of none too amiable dis
position, took her daugter to task
for the slightest irregularity. Even
when Barbara explained that her
old employer had made her posi-
ton unpleasant, Mrs. Donnes
scolded her for resigning.
So it was with a fierce hope OF
finding employment at last that a
slim figure in gray kasha opened a
door marked, 'John Byrdon, Inc,
Insurance" and gave her name to
the attendant. Five minutes later
the figure slipped quietly into the
private office Of the president Of
the corporation, Mr.. John Byrdon.
A mar Of about forty, immacu-
lately groomed. with intelligent
gray eyes and a kindly manner, sat
behind a huge mahogany desk and
questioned Barbara. Her replies
we're concise and straightforward,
and the interview was over in a
few minutes. Then John Byrdon
touched a buzZer and a young man
of astonishing alertness walked in.
Good morning, chief. Shall I
take these - he said, picking up a
sheaf Of papers.
Barbara caught hereslf analyz-
ing him-and wondering why She
did SO. For, certainly, there X
nothing remarkable about a young
nan of twenty-six, in a business
suit that has seen several storms.

THERE is no mechanism in All

And yet most of us continually
abuse our eyes. We never. or

Being so delicately adjusted. the
eyes are very readily ov~erstrained.
And this, of course, is disastrous
to their health and beauty.
Strained eyes not only reflect their
strain in every feature of your

$TTHE main trouble with the
home manicure Is that we

the nails to have the same finished
appearance that the professional
m%anicurist achieves.
There is no earthly reason why
the home manicure can't be as
beautiful as the one the manicurist
gives il the same instruments and
preparations are used in the home
as are used in the beauty shop.
Take the matter of files, for ex-
ample. Do you use a long, flex-
ible file for shaping the nails? This
type of finger nail file is used by
the professional manicuriSt be-
cause she has found from broad
experience that it is the best. Be
cause of its flexibility the nails Ear
be filed more evenly. with less ef-
fort and without cutting down SO
much Of the nail. A short, stiff
file needs more pressure and so,

nail has been filed off or il has
been unevenly shaped. 1t is true
