Women Should Practice Business
Office Tactics With Husbands

When a girl gets a good job and
one that she desires TO keep. there
are certain things that she does.
She comes to work in the morning
spick and span and crisp and fresh
looking, with her hair we'll combed,
her collar clean, her dress pressed
herself generally treat TO the eyes.
She would never dream Of present.
ing herself in the Office in a rum
pied and soiled housedress, with
her hair in curl papers and her
face shining with last nights cold
cream. She tries to make good in
the position she has assumed. She
strives to improve her speed and
her spelling, if she is a secretary;
to become more accurate if she
is file clerk or bookkeeper She
studies the technique of salesman
ship if she stands behind a counter,
for we'll she knows that she must
earn the money she is paid for her
services and that her only chance
of becoming high-paid buyer. or
department manager. or our in
valuable Miss Smith is for her
to give satisfaction to her employer.
She parks her temperament at
home before SHE starts to business.
She takes criticism meekly instead
of flying into a rage or bursting into
storm Of tears. Even when her
boss lays the mistake that he has
made at her door, she merely smiles
and says that she will try to do
better the next time instead of
going to the mat with him about it .
She never proffers her poor nerves
or her being naturally high-tem-
pered as an excuse for her conduct
But how different SO many girls
act when they undertake the big
gest job that any woman ever
tackles, which is wifehood. OF
course. there are exceptions to
every rule and there are many wives
who try as hard to please their
husbands as they would their en-
ployers and to be as good wives as
they would to be good stenographers
or clerks.
But, on the other hand, consider
the number OF women who think
that marriage is a life Job from
which they cannot be fired, so there
is no use in their bothering to make
good on it. They come down to
breakfast looking like something the
cat brought in. They never learn
to cook or keep house. They never

Manners
of the
Moment

If YOU aren't going to invite a
man inside your house when he
brings you home, then, for heavens
sake, don't keep him standing out
side in the chill night air forever
There is. of course, the old ques-
ton about whether or not 70 invite
him in. That, should say, is up
to you. If YOU don't live alone
there's nothing wrong with asking
him in for an ice box raid.
But there are times when a girl
doesn't want 10 invite the man
inside. Instead, she stands on the
doorstep talking for half an hour.

him leave with dispatch. my dear.
Say quick goodnight and let
yourself in your door and be done

Exercise
Abused
Feet
Relief Also Gained
Through Wearing
Walking Aids
By Patricia Lindsay

b
1t is quite natural that all physi-
clans who specialize in treatment Of
the feet urge us to strengthen the
feet through exercise and sensible
care, rather than to aid them with
walking supporters and pads. But,
until the foot is strengthened land
it might take months to correct foot
ailments) these patent aids can
furnish some comfort.
1t has been estimated that 7
out Of 10 persons experience dis
comfort in the ball of the foot
when walking any distance. CAL
louSeS are very common on this
area of the foot because many shoes
have definite drop where the shank
meets the fiat part of the sole. which
causes a strain in the metatarsal
arch and pushes more weight on the
ball of the foot than it should bear
There are little pads which help to
relieve this strain while walking and
because they are as flexible as your
own foot and very thin, they do not
in any way impair your stepping.
These little pads are actually
foot braSsiere' fitting under the
ball Of the foot and supplying a
comfortable air cushion. They are
worn between the foot and stock
ing and are held snugly in place
by being shaped to ease over both
the great toe joint and small toe
joint. They may be rinsed out each
night and dried between the folds
of a towel
If your feet do trouble you when
you walk you might test these little
aids the next time you go shopping
or dancing or even when you play
an active sports game. Many wom-
en- have found them most helpful.
But it is not sensible to depend
on artificial support. If your feet
are alllng do everything in your
power to discover why they all. A
visit to a reliable foot physician is
a sound investment in your beauty
and health, and include in your ex-
ercise hour few movements which
will strengthen your feet miracu-
lously. Have, too, at least one SEN
sible, comfortable pair of walking
shoes and do not let pride and high
heels ruin your beauty. Wear your
fntties for duty, and your pretties
for parties.
Use book about IL inches thick
with smooth edges. Place 1t on the
floor. Stand in bare feet and place
the ball of the right foot on the
book and the heel on the floor. Step
forward with the left foot about 3
inches in front of the book, keeping
the right knee rigid and heel on the
floor. Then bend body and left
knee forward until you feel a strong
pulling in the muscles in back of
the right knee. Relax, reverse leg
action, and repeat entire exercise
8 or 10 times.

Dear Miss Novel;: I have a color
in my hall and living room that
has soft gray pink cast. The hall
extends to the second floor and
three bedrooms open off it. Is it
necessary that the woodwork in
each upstairs room be the same as
the hall, or can they be done in other
colors? What about the door that
stands open from the hall in each
room?-G. F. S.
Answer-No. indeed. you may
have each room a different shade,
but be sure that they all blend we'll
A green, a yellow, ana a turquoise
room would all be delightful with
this pink, but keep the color soft

Dear Miss NOVEL;: My little girl
wants pink and blue bedroom,
with the walls and ceiling a deep
rose-pink and the curtains and bed
spread blue What do you think of
this?-H. T.
Answer-The deep rose-pink" is
all that troubles me. Pink has a
way of getting quite pronounced
when four walls reflect against each
other. Even little bit of pink on
the walls with a pink ceiling will be
greatly intensified. If possible. I
would suggest that she use pale blue
walls: pink ceiling and then her
bedspread and draperieS in the pink
color. Or, she might use the new
candy striped pink and white paper
with white bedspread and sheer
ruffled curtains and blue accessories
This turns out to look most pink
and blue" You will probably find
she is thinking about very frilly
soft pink and blue effect, but with
so much deep pink she would get
raspberry colored interior that would
actually frighten her.
Dear Miss Novel;: We are doing
over an old apartment which is very
dark I have chosen cream wood
work for all rooms and would like
to have your suggestions of what
colors I might use that will have
the highest light-giving value.

Answer-You may now find
chart at the paint stores which
actually lists the percentage of light
reflection. White is highest, reflect
ing 80 per cent of the light Cream
and ivory are the next, with a light
yellow close behind. Then come
buff, peach, salmon and light pearl
gray. Then come the light pastels
of most colors at around 40 per cent.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIvE

TOBIAS FENNELL, the third,
was born tate in September and
promptly christened Little Bump
kin" by. his godmother, Halle.
She went to Fifth avenue shop,
noted for its Liliputian Bazaar. in
tending to buy him a present, but
she bought with abandon. Tiny
garments, as sweet as CONNECTIONS,
scaled to doll sizes, were more than
she could resist. She satisfied a
hunger in her heart by purchasing
the loveliest of the lot for her tiny
godchild.
When Louise saw them, she said,
For heavens sake, Halle, why
don't you have a baby of your
own? It's really quite easy"
IT'S easy for you" Halle said.
But you're living on Toby's in
come"
We'll, try living on Erics. A
baby isn't expensive, once he's here.
You must have plenty to see you
through. And. after that, darling,
you'll not want parties and people
and spotlights. It's enough to just
sit and watch baby's fingers, wav-
ing like petals in the air"
We're actually in debt" Halle
said.
How could you be ?"
Halle sighed. It's the easiest
thing in the world. You put money
in the bank and it looks like a lot.
Then you write a few checks and
it isn't there any more. But you
know there will be more, . so you
charge things and there you are. !"
yes, l suppose so. But have you
ever~thought, Halle. just where
you are? DO you ever think about
tomorrow and ten years from to-
morrow"
NO" Halle answered after a
thoughtful period. Il don't. Living
with Eric for four years, l suppose
I've absorbed his philosophy of uv-
ing for the day. Once | used to
think Of the long future, but I've
had so many abrupt changes in
these few years. 1t seems like a
waste Of time to try to think Of it."
I've got funny feeling about
you, Halle. Some people have dra-
matte things happen to them, a
succession Of changes-up to a
point And then something big
happens.
How do you mean ?"
Il can't really explain Il clearly.
but haven't you noticed that some
people never have really big things
happen to them? That when II does
happen. it always happens to the
kind who have had ups and downs
in quick order ,"
Halle shivered unaccountablv.
Louise saw the SILVER and said
hastily. Il didn't mean that big
things are unhappy ones. Some
thing with a great deal Of meaning
IS what l had in mind. like
like a real change"
Halle got up then. She didn't
feel like talking that way to Louise
any more. She said. The Frisbee

Only an hour before she'd been
