iV SEARCH OF WORK SOME FOOLISH
MISTAKES MADE BY THE BUSINESS GIRL
The Sensible Woman Realizes the Fact That a Letter Is an
Infallible Index to the Character of
lis Sender.
Uu ELLEN ADAIR
TUB overage business girl who In look
Ing for a Job frequently makes gome
nppalllng mistakes when Bhe npplles by
letter for some deleetnble-sounding posl-tlon-and
Is oddly disappointed when she
falls to Ret It through reasons that are
obvious to every one but herself.
Theso reasons cover quite, n big field,
and range all the way down from poverty
of expression nnd n hatting stylo to bad
spelling and worso grammar. It Is sur
prising to learn that many business girls
re today seeking positions with the
vaguest of Idoas as to tho way In which
they should answer nn advertisement.
Quito a number of applicants nro moro
or less doomed before Iht! letters nro even
taken out of the envelopes. For tho on
velopcs ara so unprepossessing! N'p man
who receives an application In a dirty en
Vclope, or In ono in which the address
straggles nil over tho place and tho stamp
Is carelessly stuck on "anyhow," will feel
favorably Inclined to
ward tho writer of tho
Interesting document.
The arrangement of the letter Is also
Important. Tho passion which some
women possess for starting at the very
lop of a sheet of paper, thereby leaving
a blank oasis of space at the bottom, Is
far from effective. A prospective em
ployer Immediately soys, "1 don't want
my business letters written In this Btylel"
and tho girl's chances, like her calligra
phy have straggled off In a depressing
and needless fashion.
I
IJ! n hill!

Letters neatly ad
drosdod nnd with
stamps stralghtly put
on will create a good
'Impression right away.
It Is n mlstako for girls
to think that pcoplo do
not look nt the en
, veloDes In which an
swers to advertisements aro sent. They
dot
nd many girls wrlto their applications
Upon quite unsuitable paper. Notcpapcr
"Which has a. spray of flowers meandering
across tho top may bo romantic' but tho
prospective employer loathes llko tho
plaguo such evidences of maudlin senti
ment and will at onco pitch the unfortu
nate mlsslvo Into tho waste-paper basket.
This also applies to fancy monograms and
Tarlous other llttlo stationery stunts be
loved by the giggling schoolgirl, but not
of the sensible business woman who
wishes to crcato a good Impression.
Tho letter of application should bo as
short and nn concise as possible. It
should contain all the Information for
which the advertisement asks, given ns
briefly nnd courteously as possible, but It
should not contain reams of Information
for which the advertiser does not ask
and through which ho has no earthly
wish to wade.
Many girls entirely omit to give the
requisite Information, so absorbed do they
becomo In tho retailing of matters quite
outside tho business category.
This, too, Is n fatal step. "That girl
Is gnrrtilous on paper, therefore she will
bo garrulous In tho ofllcc." says the pros
pective employer. "I Imvo no llmo for
these silly, talkative women who take ten
minutes to say what may bo said In as
many seconds."
Ono other point Bhould bo recollected
In this connection. If tho letter of appli
cation for a vacant posi
tion Is successful In so
far as to call for a per
sonal Intervlow, a girl
should not bo too "cock
sure." Tho Interview
has to consolidate, as It
were, the favorable Im
pression which her
letter has created.
Such llttlo pccadllloca
as bobbed hair beauty

eyebrows and n noso bctnlcumed out
of all recognition, may be calculated
to endear a maid to tho heart of a man,
but never, ah, never, to tho business
man who Is seeking a scnslblo woman to
do his work efficiently)

Answering Children's Questions
If wo were fortified by tho wisdom of
Solomon, by tho patlenco of Job, by tho
placidity of tho Stole, and by tho love
of children wo might perhaps succeed In
that most dlfllcult tank of answering
children's questions truthfully, and still
glvo them no chance to doubt our Infal
libility. What an error It would be to
bo compelled to tell a child, "I don't
know!" And what a greater mlstako It
would bo to cover up our Ignoranco un
der a falso statement, for by tho flrst wo
would merely destroy tho llttlo one's
faith In our omniscience, but by tho lat
ter wo would destroy his faith In man
kind. "Never Ho to children," a learned
psychologist hod told us. We exclude, of
course, fairy tales and tho myths of tho
Easter Bunny and of Santa Clans, for
theso are necessary to the development
of die child's imagination, but on tho
other hand, care must be taken to dis
tinguish reality from make-believe when
tho proper tlmo comes.
It Is only necessary to watch a child
on tho street car to see of what vital in
terest everything Is to him nnd how
necessary It Is to tako his point of view
and comply with his demands for en
lightenment.. Nothing escapes his quick
eyes. When his mother pays tho fare,
he Immediately wants to know why she
doca so, and being satisfied on this score,
ills next question Is, "Why does ho pull
tho rope, mama?" Upon learning that
tho purposo of tho conductor's action i
to record tho faro on tho register, he
wishes that ho could pull the rope, too.
After having duly examined tho other
passengers, and noting that tho llttlo
girl across tho alslo Is kneeling up, look
ing out of the window, ho decides to do
the same, and forthwith makes tho
change
With untiring patlenco tho mother an
swers every inquiry, and If for an .Instant
her attention wavers, and In response to
"Will our car beat that automobile?" she
says vaguely, "I think so," Immediately
the llttlo questioner feels tho lack of In
terest, and brings her back to earth with
a Jolt by "What does, I think, mean."
Must not the mother have tho wisdom
of tho ancients to help her? There Is
no limit to a child's Interest and Inqulsl
tlvcr.ess, and what a privilege It is to
further the former and to have the
ability to satisfy tho latter, but what
a dlfllcult matter it is, too!
Tho mind of n child Is llko a delicate
Instrument that must be handled with
exceeding great care, so ns not to spoil
It with tho darkness of misunderstanding
or falsehood. Two things nro CBsentlnl;
patlenco nnd truthfulness, nnd with theso
wonders enn bo accomplished In making
clear to tho unfolding consciousness of
our little onoa somo of tho woeful puz
zles of this big, mysterious world.

PEACOCK RING THE LATEST
FAD IN JEWELER'S ART
Worn on tho Littlo Finger, It Has
Distinctive Quality.
Something unique and decidedly new is
tho pcaoock ring, designed especially for
tho little finger. It Is nn American ma-chlnc-mado
ring, selling for $1.50 nnd J2,
according to size, nnd a pleasing variation
lrom tho sliver pinky rings, set with ono
stone, which havo been popular for tho
last two seasons.
Tho ring Is of antique gold set with H
stones (emeralds and sapphires), which
scintillation represents the guy and fan
tastic tall colorings of the peacock. It Is
being displayed in one of tho exclusive
Chestnut street shops and Its popularity
Is gaining daily. In solid gold it sells for
J10. Tho antlquo gold, -which is sterling
silver washed with gold, to glvo the an
tique effect, Is qulto the nrcttlcr of the
two.
This ring resembles In design the moro
expensive ouu pieces of Jowelry which nro
tho handwork of Austrlans, Greeks and
Armenians. "Tho handwork," says this
jeweier, wnoso reputation for handsome
hand-mado designs Is widespread, "Is al
ways as easily detected as hand-made
embroidery. When the war broko out
many of theso Armenians and Austrlans
fled to this country and somo few have
settled In Philadelphia. It Is possible for
mo now to have my designs made right
hero in this city by these foreigners,
whereas heretofore It has been necessary
to hove tho work dono on the other side.
"Splendidly as theso foreigners do tho
delicate filigree work (nnd this laco cf
tctt requires skill and patience) It is Im
possible for tlicm to set a diamond. A
Tlffuny setting Is a thing separate from
all other settings and Is done more satis
factorily by our own countryman."

States, ono Is of a child under 1 year.
One-third of all deaths or Infants occur
In tho flrst few weeks of life, and most
of theso are duo to bad conditions affect
ing tho mothers beforo or Just nfter
birth. Nearly flvo babies In every 100
dlo during tho first month. At least
one-half of all baby deaths could bo pro
vented. Surgeon General Bluo says In tho bul
letin on this subject that Is Issued by
his department (United States Public
Health Service) that tho chief causo
of sickness and death In Infants Is Im
proper food. Twcnty-flvo per cent, of the
deaths of Infants under 1 year of ago
is duo to Intestinal diseases. Tho
chanco for food to become unfit for uso
Is greatest In tho worm months, becnuso
at this tlmo the chanco jor Infection
with disease germs Is greatest. Also
food Is moro apt to bo Bpollcd by heat.
Furthermore, tho delicate machinery of
tho child's body may be disarranged by
heat and humidity and rendered less
nblo to resist tho attacks of disease
germs or tho poisons contained In spoiled
foodstuffs.
Children are very apt to havo bowel
troubles during the heated season. Many
of theso show merely that naturo Is try
ing to frco tho body of the child of
harmful materials, but It should not bo
forgotten that any bowel comnlalnt oc
curring In babies In the summer tlmo
may bo tho outward and vislblo sign of
tho beginning of n serious Illness.
Since Improper food Is tho most com
mon cause of this bowel complaint, It
is the sacred duty of every mother to
provldo her child with proper food, which
Bhould bo carefully given nt regular In
tervals. This means Increased work for
tho mother, but this Is moro than repaid
by tho child's gain in health, weight and
strength.

There will bo many bidders for tho
"llttlo yellow car," tho gift of New York
niffrnslsts to Dr. Anna Shaw, the peer
less suffrage leader, If It be put up nt
public sale to pay a delinquent State tax
of 1M at Media next Tuesday, tho date
set for tho sale. Constablo A. W.
Mathues, who levied upon tho car and
now has It In his possession, has had
numberless inquiries regarding the dato
of the sale, and tho chances are mat tno
llttlo machine will bring Its full market
value and a little more. Suffrage leaders
will willingly buy It to return It to the
owner If sho does not bid, and nt east
ono opponent of suffrage In tho county
has asserted that she will buy It to flaunt
It before the opposition. Tho car will bo
advertised for salo today.
The Constablo "put ono over" on Miss
Lucy Anthony, Doctor Shaw's secretary,
In whose care the car was, when ho gained
possession of It yesterday nfternoon. Miss
Anthony had Informed him In tho morn
ing that the car would not bo sold and
that he would not get It, ns tho garage
would bo locked and the enlo thus pre
vented. Yestcrdny afternoon ho went to
the garage on tho Shaw property nnd
found the door open. Miss Anthony was
not nt home nnd ho had no opposition ns
he ran out the machine, and took It to .1
garago In Media, whero It now Is. The
routo took him by the suffrago head
quarters of Delawaro County, which is
on Stato street, Media's principal thor
oughfare, and tho women declare that
tho hard-hearted Constablo brought tho
llttlo machlno almost to a Btop while In
tooted tho horn defiantly. Th" big
"Voten for Women" banner on the car
attracted the attention of n dozen women
at headquarters, who ran to the street to
gasp tearfully nfter tho well-known
vchlrle.
Miss Anthony called Constablo Mathuej
on tho telephono this morning, and
berated him for taking tho car. Sho In
formed him that Tnx Collector Louis
Llttlo had Informed her that sho could
havo tho uso of tho machine until the
day of tho sale, and that she employed
nn Instructor yesterday to tench her to
day to opcrnto It. Commenting upon
this, tho Constablo said ho believes hr
got tho machlno In tho "nick of time."
as ho believes that after sho had learned
to run It, Miss Anthony would have made
good her boast that tho salo would not
be held by removing It from tho Jurisdic
tion. Fully 600 persons visited tho garage
to see the enr last evening nnd today.

Hundreds of Boys and Girls Begin
Campaign for Cleanliness.
No regiment ever went to wnr with
grimmer purpose of extermination than
the hundreds of boys and girls, members
of tho Junior Sanitary League, who
marched through tho downtown section
today to show Phlladolphians they aro
prepared to wago war to tho death on
dirt nnd Insanitary nnd disease-breeding
conditions. Tho banners carried by the
young civic workers bore tho slogan of
tho campaign. It is tho first campaign of
Its kind to bo held In the city.
Tho boys of tho College Settlement
marched from their headquarters, 433
Christian street, headed by a band of Boy
Scouts.. The banners flying nbove their
heads bore Inscriptions such as "Swat tho
Fly," "Kill tho Bat." "Keep tho Garbage
Covered." etc, and pictures showing rats,
flics and other dlscnse carriers were dis
played. The marchers were garbed In
spotless white, the emblem of cleanliness.
Following tho parade a meeting of the
Junior sanitarians was held In tho Col

tho campaign were decided upon. Tho
purposo of tho campaign Is to reduce In

conditions nnd to educate tho foreign res
