Mrs Paddy said nothing, but slid into
the water and headed straight for home
II was evident that she didn't intend
to have visitors proving around her

promptly followed.
That fellow has a black coat for a
Beaver" thought Paddy. as they drew
near. He is the blacklist looking
beaver that ever have SEEN"
Nearer they drew to that house, and
nearer. Presently Paddy and Mrs. Pad

1t wasn't a Beaver at all. No. sir; II

Salary VS.. Vocation.

Among the letters receive daily from
readers there are numerous queries of
this sort: Whats the average salary
in this line? How much can I make
as an :? Is there any money
In this field?"
Unless wages for an occupation are
hxed by Government rate or union
scale, there is little chance of being able
TO 1x an average salary
Women with vacations to choose, and
now that schools out" there are many,
are best advised to choose appealing,
congenial work. The mater of salary
viii work itself out. In commercial
fields there are few real salary limits or
averages. Women are paid according
TO their worth.
Unfortunately, women untitled for
vacations choose them because they
hear of high salaries. They forget that
the individual earns the salary, not the
classification of her job. A skilled
decorator earns a substantial income
because of her skin, not merely because
she Is a decorator.
Salaries, therefore, are indications of
individual merit rather than the un-
usual advantages offered by any par
ticular vocation. Everyday women de-
ceive themselves with the aid of adver-
tisements to the effect that artists or
nurses or secretaries or what not earn
this or that per week
There is an element of truth in such
advertisements. Some women do earn
Aanne salaries. Yet We would not advise

Today in
Washington History
BIT DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 20, 1791.-Accompanied by
DR.. David Stuart, Commissioners OF
the Federal City, and other gentlemen
President Washington today rode over
the site of the proposed new city. Un-
fortunately there was a thick mist and
it was dificult to see clearly.
At 6 o'clock this evening, at the
Presidents request, the land holders in
the vicinity of Georgetown and those
about Carrollsburg on the Eastern
Branch met the President at Suffers
Tavern in Georgetown.
President Washington talked frankly
to the various land holders about their
differences over the location of the pub
lie buildings for the Federal Govern
ment in the new city. He said that the
contentious of those who want the
buildings located in or near George
town and those who want them located
in the vicinity of the Eastern Branch
did not "comport either with the pub
lie interest or their own"
He declared that, while each party
was aiming to obtain the public build
ings, they might, by placing the mat

measure altogether, not only by pro-
crastination, but for want of the means
necessary to effect the work."
The President said that neither the
offer from Georgetown, nor that from
Carrollsburg, taken separately, was
adequate to the end of insuring the
object" Both together, he explained to
the land holders, did not comprehend
more ground, nor would afford greater
means than required for the Federal
City"
The President concluded by declaring
that instead of contending which Of
the two should have 1t, they had bet
ter, by combining more offers, make a
common cause of it, and thereby secure
1t to the District"
The land holders seem impressed
with the Presidents remarks and it is
believed that the interests of the new
city will be considerably advanced as a
result of his efforts to end the contro-
versies that have been evident here for
some time.
After the conference the President
had dinner with Uriah Forrest. The
City Commissioners and other guests
were present at the dinner.
If the land holders will agree to get
| together and surrender part of their
land for the Federal City, the President
will speedily conclude his visit in
Georgetown and proceed to Mount
Vernon, where he will rest a few days
before starting on his tour of the
| Southern States.

The bow placed over the plaitS at left

because so and so became a millionaire
nor would we advise our husbands to
become mechanics because a few me-
chanics have become wealthy automo-
bile manufacturers.
Another fact which many seem to
forget is that salaries vary with COM
munities and sections Of the country
Certain cities are known to pay higher
salaries than others. In such places
living costs are generally higher, and
the increased salary simply meets the
increased demands for living.
Any woman who excels at vocation
will find that ample rewards follow nat
urally. Just as there are all classes
and types of secretaries, secretaries are
paid all kinds of salaries. Inferior abil-
ity does not profit because it is en-
ployed at special form of labor.
Choose your vocation without regard for
salary, it "all depends on you"

The sketch shows one way in which
lace or figured print evening dress
may be heightened. A circular extern
sion of plain georgette or crepe silk is
added to the edge of the skirt and the
same material is used to make a cape
collar for the bodice.
