TO STENOGRAPHERS
Cheerfulness
S3 in work IS one
stenographer can possess. A bright and happy spirit can overcome many
difficulties, and is n pleasure to all those around. Too many girl workers
forget this fact. Not only do they allow the little tips and downs of business
life to worry them unduly, but they permit this to be clearly seen, and set
about their daily work with lugubrious countenances and a doleful manner
scarcely calculated to inspire sunshine in the hearts of their fellow workers.
1 he young stenographer should recollect that no business woman is free
from petty annoyances, from difficulties and from a wide variety of worries,
but although these arc more or less unavoidable, her attitude toward .them
depends entirety upon herself. The girl who has little grit and backbone may
allow her Worries and perplexities to wreck her happiness and her nerves
together. Nothing grows on one more than a melancholy altitude toward life.
Yet the wise girl will determine to face life snnnrelv nnrl in n snirit nf ntilimi.m
and the sunshine she sheds on those around will come back to her a hundred
fold. For, after all, life is what we make it. The world, loo. is a very
kind old world if we but face it in a spirit of optimism and determination
to get the best from life.

among- theso people, and two In particu

Qualities of the Successful
Business Woman
The business woman has cOmo to stay,
nnd justly so. Tcoplo realize that, llrst
of all. women have just as many brains
as men, and some of them have as much
business acumen. Only "some." of course.
It is this kind of woman who deserves
careful Btud,y; sho who by her own par
ticular merits deserves to be Included In
tho narrow "some."
She is tactful. This Is not easily de
scribed, although we nil know It when
we seu It. Tact Is Innate; It smoothes tho
rough path along which every one In
business must pass. The tactful woman
makes allow ances for Individual tempera
ments. She never rubs against her em
ployers by stubbornly opposing their
ideas. Sho gives every one the right to
his own personal conviction.
She is truthful. It sounds odd, no
doubt, but there are numerous women
who have no Idea what truthfulness In
business means. They will blame others
or their own mistakes, und cause a great
deal of unnecessary trouble.
Punctuality Is another virtue of the
successful business woman. Sho Is due
at S or 3; she arrives just at that hour,
in fair weather nnd foul. If she promises
to do a thing on a certain day, she does
It. Her bills nre met promptly and she
makes her employers feet that If she
gives her word, she Is going to keep it
at any cost.
CHILDREN'S CORNER
The Runaway Monkey
THE little clay monkey who lived In
Mary's Japanese garden quite un
expectedly disappeared! He had been
missing a number of times before, but
Mary had always found him In the
water just below the tree In which
ho lived. He seemed to like to tumble
around and plunge Into the water.
Dut this time Mary couldn't nnd

She hunted on the pretty pink shells
that covered the bottom of the garden.
She searched In the Japanese pergola
which was her particular pride no
monkey was there. She looked In the
tiny boat, she looked again in the tree
to be sure he hadn't gone hack there
but In vain! No monkey was to be
seen! ,
"Maybe mother has seen him,"
thought Mary. "I'll ask her about It."
So she ran and found her mother.
"Mother, please conj,a and help me And
pty monkey; Tie's lost!"
. ".Lost! Your monkey lost!" exclaimed
monther. "He couldn't be, dear. Little
elajwmenkeys don't run away. I think
jou'Tjpjust trying: te play a joke on
your rjn.other."
Jui. mother, thbi Isn't a Joke; he's

Her shoes take the attention of the
wandering ee immediately. They hap
bright, cheap, yellow tops, which only
serve to accentuate the fact that many
buttons have departed. Her clothes are
alwass slinbby looking, and only her
hands show the results of care.
Tlio unbiased observer would never
give this latter girl tho benefit of the
doubt If he was looking for Homo one to
do real work. And jet there Is no reason
why she shouldn't do just as well, It not

suffeis from a laok of brain and an equal

this fact:

A Stenographer's Problem
The girl who Is earning a good salary
sometimes has to pay foi It in unexpected
vvnjs. A glil stenographer writes:
Dear Kllcn Adair Will jou please ad
vise me on a certain point? I am In love
with a joung man In our office and 1 am
almost certain ho Is in love with me. But
my salarj Is almost loublo his, and he Is
very proud He has ficquently taken me
to theatres nnd concerts, and verj often
walks home with me fiom the office, If I
am working late but one evening I hap
pened to let him know what my salary
was, and from then onward he has
changed. Just latclj, he told me that no
self-respecting man would propose to a
girl who Ii earning moic than himself.
What shall I do? "UNHAPPV."
You were rather foolish to mention the
question oi samry, unnappj", as jou
probably led your friend to think that
jou nre mercenarj-. All that you can
now do Is so far as lies In jo"ur power,
to undeceive him In the matter. Main
tain a perfectly friendly attitude, and
things mnj- yet come right for j-ou.
Modes of the Hour
The public has not given very much
encouragement to the attempts of cer
tain modistes and corsctleres to reinstate
the hour-glass llgure. But, as many of
the new fashions require a normal waist
at the normal line, apparently the size
and the position of the waist must change
with the costume.
The bolero, or zouave, or Eton jacket,
Is explolnted by a number of afternoon
and house gowns, and is even the undtr
Ijlng motif of a variety of Jaunty little
Street suits
It Is decidedly attractive In velvet or In
the cloth of the skirt, with a chiffon or
lace underblouse, If tho frock Is for
dressy occasions, or of sheer white mull
or muslin for the jouthful tdc everjday
wear.
It is a style that has an cBpeclal value
In tho way that it lends Itself to the mak
ing over of old frocks. The full skirts of
a few years back can be the full skirts
of the present. A little fancy Jacket and
a new blouse of some contrasting ma
terial to the jacket and skirt and, presto!
a new frock appears.
A bolero jacket does not mean, neces
sarllj, that the waist Is kept In the posi
tion originated by nature. The sash or
girdle may be tied either around the
waist or around the hips, gipsy style
a new coai, nowever, sucn as the one
sketched today, allows no legerdemain or
prestidigitation. It Is fitted to the figure
like a basque, and flares with the natural
curve of the hips.
The material Is broadoloth, of one of
the indeterminate shades to which the
names of prune and ralstn have been ap
plied. And the long-haired monkey fur
has been used for the collar and cuffs
because it appears to be particularly
suitable for the graceful lines of the
coat. I
The skirt has an overdress that Is
foldsd li at the waist to produce a fan
like e(tet where as It falls open and free,
free.
There Is a certain eleganss to the
draped skirt that makes the circular or
round sftlrt look like an ingenue beside
a sephlstieated sister. It must be draped
by some one who is an artist to the
finger tips, or it is a failure.
If there were such, a thing as oqjisUU
ency in drees, the draped skirt ought to
belong, not to the frocks worn la the
morning or for shoppies' on the street,
but to tbe gowns one could haa4y de.
Utoate as toilettes. : '
To put oo a oireular skirt now asms
like sudden emancipation from fettered
slavtry. To walk at a natural gatt
again, without pulling against the brHle,
so ta speak, makes of walking a new
aad delightful discovery.

The Ways of Women
So eager for higher education are the
joung women of Maine that one co-edu-catlonal
Institution was so overcrowded
that It was obliged to flx a limit to the
number of women admitted In any one

Mrs. Abbie 12 Lathrop, of Granby,
Mass., manages a mouse farm which
harbors over 11.000 mice, 600 rats and 100
rabbits. She finds a steatly sale for her
llttlh animals from medical Institutions,
wheie thej nio used for research wotk.
A puzzling question has just come be
fore the California Court of Appeals,
wheie Mrs J. II. White, of San Diego, a
law' student, Is applying for admission
to the bar under tho name of her former
husband Mis. White contends that there
Is nothing In tho etatutes requiring a
woman to accept her husband's name.

by her wits. Miss Hilda Gilbert won a
tOOO wager for Jack London, the novel

clubman that woman could accomplish
the tnsk without much trouble. Miss
Gilbert had four years to complete the
tilp, and when she arrived home recently
she still had four months to spare.

DO COLLEGE GIRLS
MAKE GOOD WIVES?
Three or four girls lounged carelessly
around the roora-'ln klmoncta. The pink,
blue ond r jiatt-colored gowns looked
charming against the college colors as a
background In the centre of tho room
a glil was bending over a steaming chaf
ing dish.
"Madge dear, where did you learn so
many household helps? You're a regular
little hausfrau! I never knew a girl could
combine real highbrow education with the
domestic virtues so effectively! Some
how, I always had the Idea that all
girls who were domestic were stupid,
and all clever girls were undomestlc."
"Which Is quite, quite true, my dear
j'oung person," answered the girl at the
window, i'l can't cook a boiled egg.
That's what makes me wear an old rose
kimono with red hair, and call my men
friends by -their last names. .It's genius,
I assure you."
"Oh. May, don't be so silly! We all
know you have executive ability enough
to run the White House! The man who
gets you will get intellect enough to keep
him guessing for Ilfel"
"Yes. my dear, he may get intellect
from May, but he'll also get Indigestion
from her cooking," laughed the girl nt
the table, peeking into the chafing dish
dutifully.
"Well, believe me, dear," spoke up a
little western girl, "I'm no Gold Dust
Twin! The man who wants a cools can
hire one, I aspire to become his wife.
'Feed the brute may be some good rnotto,
but I'll take a cook Just the same. I'm
strong for nice nails and Paris gowns,
myself.'
"Now, that everybody's on the subject,
I may as well put In a word or two," re
marked the class president, as she nib
bled another bonbon, "When you speak
ot cooking and homes and husbands and
such things, for the love of Mike be
reasonable! I'm a firm believer In the
happy medium, myself. In tbe first place,
they say that only B0, even JO per cent,
of college girls marry. That's not ex
traordinary at all. The college girl
usually earns a man's salary. It she takes
a position after she Is graduated. Be
sides, she didn't' have time for any real
love affairs while she was at college.
Of course, a man for the Proms, or an
occasional dinner out doesn't count. Nell,

keep her as she can keep herself She
may have a oa for a while, jiut she
