The selection Of a writing desk is
matter of Importance. It must suit the
needs of the owner, and it must fit into
the general decorative scheme of the
room in which it is to stand. Fortu-
nately there are endless types of writing
desks from which to make a selection,
these styles having been developed
through the ages in response to indi-
vidual requirements. The three describ-
ed today are historic yet suit modern
needs admirably.
The Gov. Winthrop desk with its
many drawers, its drop leaf and fiat top
of medium height, is a classic in
America. In this type Of desk the close
relation between bureau and a desk
is Immediately recognized. Such desk
takes up the minimum space for the
maximum convenience. It Is admirable
to use in an apartment living room
which at night has to serve as a cham
Der. The drawers can serve admirably
for bureau purposes without In any way
lending sleeping room aspect to the
living room. The writing desk feature Is
entirely separate and complete. When
the lid is dropped small drawers. pigeon
holes, etc., in ample array are dis
closed. @i~l

If there were q bay along who could
handle the heavy boxes, q woman
driver would be simply ideal for a
grocery or meat market. She could get
a lot of additional business because
she would know what would appeal
TO customers.
Why aren't there more girl chauffeurs
for private cars? Many a business
woman, for instance. would like to have
a girl who could do her small amour
of housework and at the same time
drive her car for her.
Here's an idea for some girl. Find
some neighborhood where houses are
scattered Pick out half a dozen good
sized houses which seem fairly well
to do, but where the woman Of the
house does not have time to do all
the marketing. Offer To market for
these people. All this would have TO
be done, of course. in high-class. re-
mote residential districts. almost in
the country.
There's a widow with a small child
and a small car in Connecticut who
makes an excellent living. She picked
out a little stock of nice underwear,
selecting things in good taste that
weren't too expensive. Then she drove
through the country selling It, On her
first trip she didn't do so well. The
second time she did better. She has
been doing this for five years now, and
has built up a prosperous trade.
OF course, you have to have an orig
inal mind to do any of these things.
But some one has to start them. Why
not you?

Oily Hair.
NV Neighbor Says:

When boiling or stewing meat
fowl or fish, allow it to cool WITH
out a covering. 1t should then
be stored in the ice box.
II you have a painful corn,
touch it with little oil Of pep
permint and the soreness will be
wonderfully eased.
Never wash an electric bulb. A
drop OF water penetrating the
interior of the bulb will destroy
its power. Wipe bulb with damp
cloth.
Always open canned fruits an
hour before serving. Fruits be-
come richer in flavor after they
have absorbed oxygen.
When relocating roasts, add one
third cup of water and one-third
cup Of gravy. Cover tightly and
bake for IS minutes in a moder-
ate oven. The meat will then be
moist.
