FARM ERS ARE
BUSINESS MEN and
their business, like that
of MERCHANTS,
MANUFACTURERS
and others, is good
when there are plenty
of customers and bad
when everyone is
broke. Last year the dis
tillers of Maryland
spent $13,5OO,O 900 for
goods and services.
Most of this money
was collected in other
states where most of
the distillers' product is
sold; but nearly every
dollar of it was spent
in Maryland, put into
the pockets of potential
customers of the far
mers of Maryland. That
flood of money helped
all Maryland business,

A S A proper approach to the per-
= ennial spring sewing program
that soon will be staged in countless
households, we know of no gesture
that will so inspire to hurry and
get going as to take a day off and
60 fabric sightseeing. We make the
prediction that at just mere
glimpse of the new textiles with
their refreshing departure from
the old, in the way of texture, pat
+. Jennings and colorings, you will feel
an urge stirring to cut and to basic
and to sew.
In this day and age when won
ders are being performed in the
way of textures and weaves, it be-
comes absolutely imperative that
the woman who would sew success
fully must know materials. This is
especially true in regard to wash
fabrics that are revelation as to
what science is achieving in the way
of non-shrinkage, color-fast-boil-
proof tones and tints and in the way
of weaves of entirely new origin.
Consider for example the new spun
rayon fabrics that are as lovely and
exquisite in texture as imagination
can conceive.
When you ask to see these fas-
cinating new spun rayons take note
of their marvellous colorings that
are so refreshingly different from
the usual run. Many of the beauti-
full hues and motifs for design are
traced to fine Chinese porcelains
that excel in subtle soft blues and
canary yellows, lime green's, peach
bloom pinks and cherry blossom
reds. You'll love these new wash
fabrics that are so handsome they
really do not look like washables,
but they are and what's more they
are treated to an anticrease process
that greatly enhances them from the
practical standpoint. Some Of the
smartest washable crepes combine
the newest fabric (spun rayon) with
one of the oldest (pure linen).

Richard Mather Boardman gives to
women, especially women over fifty.
almost nothing is important
enough to upset ones peace of mind
if you look at it squarely. We should
enjoy life, for living is fun. Don't
make 1t hard for yourself and for
those around you. How much we

overcome every difficulty by going a
step at a time"
This is the philosophy which Mrs.
Boardman practices. And she has
reached prominence by living the
very rules she teaches the young
girls who flock to her unique New
York school. Though a grandmoth-
er several times, she has the vitality
and alertness of a woman half her
years and she carries on a busy So
cial life along with the running of a
large institution.
Her progress has not been a path
of roses. She has met difficulties
which would have floored many a
woman. but her approach to life has
been positiye--never negative.

Job-Hunting
Girl Over 80
Has Competition

r UST this week a girl over 30 came
j to me in sheer desperation. She
needed job and couldn't get one.

with eight years of experience here
and there. I'm not keen about Sec
retarial work, but I'll take any job.
/ simply have got to work! Yet ev-
cry place / apply they more or less
tell me they want younger girl.
What shall ! do?"
Her plight is a common one to
girls over 80 who, married or single,
find it necessary to seek employ
ment this summer. When industry
slackens, jobs become scarce and
applicants for the jobs increase.
It is quite obvious why the young
err girl is preferred. She asks a
smaller salary, she is more easily
trained to the work, she has no
home ties to distract her during
the day, and usually she is more
attractive because she is about 10
years younger! ALI in all she is stiff
competition for the older girl.
If the girl who sought my ad-
vice had asked me for job would
not have given her one. Why? First
of all she had let herself grow dis
couraged. / know it isn't easy to
show enthusiasm when your stom-
ach wants food and your room rent
is due. But where will she get by
showing her troubles to prospec-
tive employer? He has his own; he
will hire good spirits more quickly
than experience. He doesn't want
to look up from a knotty problem
and see drab, disheartened female
dragging herself around his Office,
does he? "I'm not keen about Sec
