I,The Injustice of wrong dismissal from
Ge. good position is very hard to bear.
het there is a certain kind of man who
ill not treat women fairly, no matter
jw long and how faithfully they may
kve worcd in his service. The following
tter shows this only too clearly:

have to? Why do they give up their
tlmo and personal freedom to stand nil

pounding a typewriter, or doing the thou
sand and ono things that well-to-do girls
are getting Into these doys? There Is a
spirit of unrest rampant nmong the
young girls of today. They rush Into
everything with a mad zest. They don't
wait to nnlsh school, they deceUe their
trusting parents with the snare of domes
tic science or dressmaking. They rush
from the unnnlshed science or dressmak
ing course into the perilous seas of mat
rimony. And when they are graduated
from college they rush Into some posi
tion or other anything to stay away
from the quiet, domestic life usually at
tributed to women.
Take the case of one stenographer. She
Is from a wealthy home, her surround
ings were charming. She had friends ga
lore, and all tho money she needed. Her
father had a lovely summer home at tho
seashore, and she entertained whenever
she chose. And yet this girl ls a stenog
rapher in an ofllce where she gets J10 a
week. She has to be down at 8:30 In
the morning and gets an hour off for he.'
lunch. She works until half-past 5 and
has two weeks' vacation in tho whole
year. While her family Is enjoying the
ocean breezes and having seashore sports
all summer, she works In this ofllce when
the thermometer registers 33 nnd Dl In
the shade.
' I think Stella's crazy," said ono of
her girl fi lends. "I'd give up that Jcb
as soon as It got warm all right. Why
any girl can leave a home like hers, I
can't see. Honestly, I can't see a single
good reason for It."
"Well, I can. because I'm doing prac
tically the same thing myself," said an-
otnor girl. "And here are a couple of
very good reasons. In the llrst place,
do jou like to be asking your father for
money for every paper of pins ou buy?
Even a girl who has an allowance needs
all kinds or little things which she necr

should the time come. I've not hivn

"And lastl. my dear, when the time
comes to settle down and havo a little

Cheerfulness in the Office
What a blessing tho cheerful girl ls to
the rest of the world, and the business
girl In particular can prove a veritable
godsend In an office If she be bright
nnd happy about her work. She Is what
tho poets call "a sunbeam In a shad)
place," and her task seems lightened, for
she sets about It with a will.
When thera ls lots nnd lots of work
td be done, she does not sit In front of
her typew rlter with a doleful "don't speak
to me, please" face and an air of utter
exhaustion and boredom. Not she! She
tackles her work cheerfully and with a
smile. It Is surprising too, how quickly
she manages to get through things, for
"where there's a will there's a way!"
When things go wrong, bb they will do
een In the best regulated dt offices, the
cheerful little stenographer will not lose
her temper nnd "snap" at those around
her. She will look on the bright side, rea
lizing that these are only the ups and
downs of business life and will soon pass.
She is not only welcome In the office.
but welcome everywhere she goes, for
she Is a regular sunbeam. She lightens
burdens and sheds a ray of hope wherever
she comes. So her friends thank their
lucky stars that they are her friends, and
see a beauty In her kindly face that they
do not find In the belle who cares onl
for herself.
The cheerful little stenographer Is al
most sure of promotion In her salary, too.
fo'r her worth in the office is enhanced
by her pleasant and kindly demeanor.
Housecleaning Hints
To clean and brighten wash bowls,
pitchers, bathtubs and all things of this
kind, take a silk or wool cloth the size
of a gentleman's handkerchief, wet It
In coal oil and rub well the things de
sired to clean. The dirt that sonn mil
water falls to remove at once disappear,
leaving a bright, now look Instead.
To duet furniture, the b.-inlntor on
woodwork In the house, get a paint brush
and use Instead of the dust cloth or
feather duster; dip It Into whatever furni
ture polish ou wish to use and your
work Is quickly and thoroughly done,
jour brush going Into places a cloth will
not reach.
To prevent buttons breaking off In wash.
In sewing on buttons place a needle across
top of button and sew oer needle. This
gives a loose thread and buttons do not
come off so easily when the garment ls
being Ironed,
Thc beginning and end of all things
this season Is, apparently, fur. The fur
llncd coat, although It exists. Is In thc
background, for It Is the ornamental side
of fur that Is exploited to the very limit
of Its possibilities.
The set of, furs Illustrated toUay shows
one of tho most popular combinations so
far evolved. The flat muff refutes the
statement made some tlmo ago that the
square and the oblong shapes belong to
tho past.
Tho barrel-shaped muff, and the diminu
tive round one nro In evidence as novel
ties, but they may provo to bo a passing
fancy, making their oxlt with the cold
weather.
The sealskin muff of the picture Is or
namented with fitch nt one side. The lit
tle animal Is slipped through a strap or
the sealskin and Its length extends across
the muff.
In the neckpiece, one of the long ends
1b fitch and the other seal. The latter ls
finished, with small balls of the sealskin.
Whenever It appears that there Is noth
ing left to say as to the use of fur, some
thing new crops up. Tho muff collar, for
Instance, which Is featured now on coats
and Buits.
It looks like a good-sized muff set at
the back of the neck. It stands high and
It Is wide and full, but It does not ex
tend to the front, and It leaves the throat
exposed.
An unusual combination of furs.deslgned
recently for a handsome wrap, consisted
of ermine, the royal fur1, and the humble
skunk. From tho artistic standpoint tho
ermine gained nothing by the alliance.
For the devotees of the new and the
outre, it has a aluo in the fact that It
has probably never been attempted be
fore. Three-piece sets, hat, muff and neck
piece, are somewhat of a departure from
tho beaten track. The fur Is commonly
featured with velvet or satin or taffeta.

THE WOMAN OF FIFTY
There need he no grandmolheri these Ja)s that h to say, no vomen tvho
really LOOK grandmothers for nowadays, as far as looks are concerned, old
age can be indefinitely postponed. In this article middle-aged and elderly
Xvomen rvilifind some splendid beauty advice they mould do tvell to follow.
Whether sho looks young or whether ,
she looks old at 60 depends to a large ex
tent on a woman herselfr In olden times
once she had passed the age of 40 a wo
man was content to sit down with fold
ed hands and wait peacefully for old age.
She felt that as far as she wbb concerned,
youth was over for her altogether. Her
companions were always women of her
own age or older than herself.
How different things are nowadays. A
certain mother, past CO, doesn't look 'a
day older than her daughter of 23. It'lsn't
that sho apes youth In her dress, for she
dresses suitably and becomingly. Dut
her figure Is young and slender, and en
ergy ls written In every lino of her face.
She always has young people surround
ing her, and enters with the utmost zesl
Into their occupations and pursuits, in
thejr company she lives over again tho
days of her youth.
She Is not content to sit down with
folded hands Just because she has brought
up a family and seen her daughters welt
married; nor Is she content to stay quietly
at home, with no Interest In life beyond
thc doings of her neighbors and herself.
Plenty to Do
1ily secret of youth," she says, "Is al
ways to hae plenty to do. I'm not one
of those who believe In Idleness for tho
elderly. These people are simply asking
tn get old. ,
"Tho time I can spare'from the manage
ment of my home I devote to quite a
number of things. I run a working wom
an's club, for Instance, which meets twice
a weak. I glvo lectures nnd demonstra
tions to the club on various things, prin
cipally sewing and cooking, nnd I en
courage Ita members to take an Interest
In the leading questions of tile day. Twice
eery month we have mothers' meetings,
at which Instruction is given In regard
to the care and rearing of children.
"But I have other Interests, too, I have
always loved music, and, unlike most
married women, who glvo It up as soon
as they are settled Into homes of their
own ,1 have kept it up all these years.
People love coming to my musical even
ings, and my daughters, whom I have
taught myself, scarcely miss one of them.
It's a splendid way of keeping our little
family together, too.
TJp Early
"I Rtn always up at 7 In the morning to
give my husband his breakfast at 8. When
I havo done tho ordering for the day, I
go for an hour's 'constitutional.' This I
never miss.
"I think It Is because I am so energetla
that I have kept my age so well. I have
always been active. A. sedentary life never
appealed to me In thrf least. I let my hair
grow white naturally, and didn't attempt
to dye It; nnd as for the lines why, they
simply must como on the face of a woman
of my years.
An Infallible Beauty Bectpe
"Still, they say that for an old lady my
face Is remarkably smooth and my com
plcxlon exceptionally good.
"Shall I tell you the secret?
"In the first place, It Is because I have
always led a healthily actlvo life and
taken nn Interest In my surroundings. In
the second place, from tho tlmo I wan
a tiny tot I havo always washed my face
In cold, soft water. Believe me, this Is
an infallible beauty recipe."

Milady's Toilet Table
This Is the Beason when the girl who
values her complexion begins to take pre
cautions against winter Ills. These are
very few, compared with the tan, freckles
and sunburn of the summer, but the ten
der skin must always be protected. The
cold winds will cut the face and cause
It to become rough and chapped.
Some girls complain that their skins
become chapped when the first ft
comes, and stay chapped all winter. It
Is ery painful; besides, it looks so un
attractive. A doctor said to wash the
face as usual, then, Just before going
out In the air, to dash cold water on it.
iius is supposed to prevent chapping.
Another eas not to use soap. Few wise

The New Bride
Tne new bride Is thinking how about
keeping her little home In good condi
tion, nnd nil hcr-wcddlng gifts, too. The
silver Is, perhaps, tho new problem for
her, becauso new methods are always
coming out and each one Is an Improve
ment on the other. And nothing looks
worse on a table than tarnished silver.
Tho new sliver pan Is quite a revela
tion In the way of labor saving, as the
silver may be laid In thc pan, covered
with boiling water and left until the wa
ter cools sufficiently to remove it, or the
pcifoiatcd tray may be raised If ono
has not tlmo to wnlt, and the silver wiped
nnd polished.
Thc chamois-covered felt moulded silver
boaul Is designed for cleaning silver
pieces that have to be laid upon their
sides while legs and handles are polished.
It will be found quite convenient also to
clean pearl or bone-handled knives on.
Two of the best styles of fork-cleaners
have handles, one has a black framo to
lay on tho table.
Three sizes of soft brushes and a spoon
burnlBhcr are needed. A good chamois
polisher has a glove pocket so It cannot
"get away" when you are using it. Use a
good liquid polish.
Silver which is put away for somo time
should be thoroughly cleanedi smeared
slightly with lard and slipped Into Its
bag. Put a niece of lumn camphor In tho
closet In which It ls stored. Then all
you have to do when It Is needed again
Is to plunge It Into hot water, dry and
polish It.
Egg stains on silver may he removed
by vigorously rubbing with salt before
wnsning tne article.

Would you be beloved? Then love!
And be sure of this
Whatso'er life's gifts may prove,
All that was or Is
Will not make your life more blest
Than Love's ma'tchless loveliness.

and never got really friendly with each

show every sign of fear when they hear
the shrill cry of the hawk.
That some swallows have been known
to fly at the rate of 133 miles an hour?
