Working on Commission.

Working on commission" Is a term
that holds a great deal of mystery to
the woman who has always been en-
ployed on a fixed salary. To some 1t
beckons with the lure of unknown posi-
bilities. Others are sure there as a
catch" in it somewhere.
You should have a fair knowledge of
business customs and usages before you
essay the SaleSwoman's life. Commits
sions vary according to the house for
which one sells. It l. a matter of ex-
perience to find that different businesses
vary in their rates ana methods of pay
ing commissions.
Needless to say, highest commissions
are paid where the job of selling is
most difficult. For example, we know
OF a security saleswoman who is paid a
10 per cent commission on her sales.
To go to the other extreme, there Is a
saleswoman In dress fabrics who Is paid
a per cent commission.
The formers sales are infrequent, and
they are the result of difficult drum
ming" The latter has regular Zine
of accounts" which favor her with such
business as she can take care Of salts
factorily.
Commissions are always based on
''list prices" For example. If woman
Is told that the watches which she has
to sell must be sold at SIS and $40 O
watch and she sells them under that
figure, her rate of commission will be
correspondingly less.
Some commissions are paid only after

Pleasing the Man
By CHLOE yAmis0N.

IT MAY be mistaken judgment, but
1t seems to us that however good
the cooking, there Is a sameness about
family dinners that soon makes them
accepted as matter Of course . /.
especially by the man of the house.
Something like the attitude of mind
he acquires toward the feminine ward
robe soon after marriage. New things
unless very startling-muSt be point
ed out, or he will overlook them
And what to do? Certainly not re-
dear, don't you like the new stew"
Thus does one rob dish of the saw
or it might have If discovered un-
prompted.
:" If there is humor in the family, a
few circus tactics might not be amiss
now and then. When along comes q
ragout recipe that sounds piratical, in
ject little fun in to its service.
Set the table that night with coarse
linen runners or q checked kitchen
cloth; get out the crockery instead Of
fine china. Like crossbones, place a
huge spoon and kitchen fork before
the host to facilitate service from the
central pot. Potatoes should be plain
boiled, or served in jackets; bread
placed on the table in the loaf and
hacked off for waiting members, slice
by slice with big carving knife. Salad
may be Just assorted pickles; dessert,
a tray of mixed fruit from which each
may make a different choice For the
"Yo no and a bottle of rum" motif,
beloved by adventurous spirits, there
could be mulled cider, with the tang of
harvest fields and presses. The same
idea could be worked out for a real
farm dinner, a Down In Dixie meal, a
seaside dinner when fish Is featured,
a picnic in Midwinter.

tomatoes punctured, but the bugs were
somewhat clever. The truth was, the
eggs laid by the mother a few days
before had Matched and her children
were busy. They had been on the
plant while the family of grown-ups
had been removed.
The eggs are 1-25th of an inch long,
cylindrical and rounded at each end.
They are family ridged lengthwise and
are white to pale brown. The mother
places them singly to the stems of the
tomato plant. In five days the little
egg opens and tiny brownish green
nymphs, with very dark legs, step out.
They crawl about trying their stills
and also their beaks. They puncture
the stems, the young fruit and the
blossom stems. Deprived of the sap the
fruit falls to the ground.
AS soon as the little silt walkers out
grow q coat or two, they hide under
leaves and low growing vegetation dur
ing the day.
There Seem to be three generations
a season. The older insects will go
some distance in order to- hide under
leaves, oak leaves being the favorite
source of protection.
The adults are slender, brown crea-
lures, with very long, thread-like legs,
six Of them. The last joint Of the
delicate antennae is thick and black.
The thighs thicken at their tip and
give the bugs the strange gait. They
walk along as IL teetering on a pair
of stills. They have very small eyes
and a beaklike mouth for sucking as
well as biting. They are light yellowish
brown in color.
The morning is the time to get them
Providing about all night, drinking deep
Of the juice of the plant and fruit,
they are sluggish and Indifferent. Go
after them with spray gun.

not foot from the open window. Now
centipedes are reputed to catch flies
and other insects, and their poisonous
qualities are reputed to BE richly ex-
aggerated. the bad reputation of trop-
ical centipedes having been transferred
tos our small native species that looks
more like ball of fluff drifting along
than any dreaded monster. Still, I
cannot with the best of will, work up
sympathy with centipedes. like in

a passion for beetles and a tolerance
for many less beautiful six-legged fell

But hundred legs, more or less Is

unjustly, reasonably or inconsistency,

In this case, as I approached the
motionleSs creature, I saw that he was

100 toes or dropped his jaw or rolled
up his eyes. And he still remained on
a perfectly vertical wall, but he had

With each Autumn night, now, thou

all of them very. small and frail, meet
death. Some of the humble wild folk,
Of course, have means of living through

have not. Theirs Is the span of one
brief season. They sing, they fly, they
swim, they run, they CLEAN and feed
and mate-and they are gone. But
they live as long as we do-if Mr..
Einstein Is right.
If time is relative to your location in
the cosmos, why isn't 1t also relative
to the species of animal you are? To
the gods, they used to believe, and to
the fairies, year is like day. A god
might marry a beautiful mortal, but
the mortal bloomed and faded before

Autumn chill, die where they cling,
and vanish into dust while to us it's

q few weeks. Periodical cicadas emerge
for a few days once every II years
and are glad for all that Nature gives
them. And yet some old men COM

more money than ideas doesn't tackle
this problem? There Is really desperate
need for places where women can leave
their children when they go to work.
And by that I don't mean charitable
places. There should be some place
where a girl could pay small sum
and know that her children would be
taken care Of by trained nurses and
trained teachers.
In the meantime, Gladys j. may find
her way out by putting an advertise
ment in the suburban town in which
she lives, stating the kind Of boarding
place she wants.
She should also get in touch with
the local knights of Columbus, Young
Women's Christian Association, or
Young Women's Hebrew Association, de-
pending on what religion she prefers
They may be able to find a place
where she and her child can board.
She can also get some information
from the Big Sisters Organization.
The probation officer of the Chill
dren's Court will have the addresses
Of some people who would like q
boarder like Gladys and would take
good care of her child. There's no trace
of charity in this thing, because it's
an honor for mother to work. It
ought to be an honor. She ought to be
rewarded for it. Instead, usually she's
made to suffer rs If she were doing
something disgraceful.

. Candied ginger, orange or
grapefruit peelings are very nice
to serve with the dessert course
of q party menu.
Never attempt to sweep up at
once SCOT that has fallen onto
a rug. Cover the SCOT with dry
salt, let stand for a short time,
then sweep up.
Windows may be quickly and
easily cleaned If rubbed with a
wooden cloth that has been wrung
out of hot water and moistened
with kerosene. Polish after o few
minutes with chamois.

over them and run q hot iron
