My dear child the steam that
you are wasting in grieving can be
harnessed to PIT you on the road
to success. l know that poverty
and circumstances and loneli-
ness are fearful handicaps: but
they aren't insurmountable. 1 know
it's true that the difference between
a happy and unhappy girl is one
boy friend; but when you have got
on top of your troubles the boy
friend will likely put in his appear
ance.
Let's take stock of what you have;
home with something to eat and
wear. even if it is plain, health,
youth, plenty OF sense, education
sufficient to write good letter,
speed and accuracy on the type
writer, a willingness to work and
a burning ambition TO help your
family. That's a grand inventory
Poverty needn't lick you if you keep
your chin up and work hard with
what you have.
Doubtless there are men who
won't employ a girl who isn't easy
on their eyes but there are other
men who are far more concerned
with what's above the employees
eyes, what's in her fingers ano
what sort of attitude she has tc
her work. So you needn't be dis
couraged at losing out on one jot
TO a pretty. well dressed girl.

take the cure. Who knows but you

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-There are
no games scheduled in the National
Hockey League until Thursday, but
when the teams do go at it again
there probably will be even more
action-if possible-than the league
yet has shown. The reason is
simple. There's more money in it
this year.
The Board of Governors of the
circuit, meeting yesterday. voted to
increase the monetary rewards for
the team finishing first in the reg
ular season schedule and for the
Stanley Cup play-off winner. This
will be done bv rearranging the
various "cuts" of the play-of gate
receipts.
The players pool from the play
offs will be divided into two equal
amounts, according to the plan de-
vised by the governors. One-half
