For the Business Girl
A girl's personality Is a strong factor
In determining the amount she Is ablo to
earn. She must keep her good-natured side
uppermost; she must always be tidy In her
appearance and must center all her Inter
ests during business hours to further her
employer's ends.
As to her capacity for good nature. It
should be unlimited. A smile Is worth more
than a growl. Perhaps It Is really a look
of brightness that does duty for the smile,
but no matter what blue days a girl may
have she has always to remember that those
working beside her must be shown no sign
of the turmoil. In the same way petty
annoyances, Jealousies and grievances, such
as occur in most ofnees. should be covered
by an attitude of good cheer.
Economy Hint
Because of the many different ways In
which It can be served fish may appear on
your table either as a heavy or a -light
food. Plainly fried, baked or boiled or
served as a salad, there is nothing more
digestible or strength-producing. Served
in other ways it is heavy enough to satisfy
a gourmand.
Fish Is economical, too, as compared
with the soaring prices of meats, And sum
mer is a greater strain on the household
purse than winter, because there are so
many out-of-town visitors. Vegetables are
somewhat costly, and meat Is always so,
sq fish acts as a happy medium when care
fully and tastefully prepared. To meet
the hundred and one little expenses that
summer brings, the housewife must keep a
sharp eye to the household accounts.

Butter Fingers
Do you suffer from "butter flngers"7 Do
you drop everything you pick up? And do
you find your fingers- stiff nnd unyielding
when you want to

ence tells you
about a little ma
chine that Is de
signed to limber
up the most re
bellious fingers.
You do all kinds ot "stunts" on this ma
chine, lifting and depressing them as a
piano pupil does on a dumb piano. It's
cheaper than a dumb piano, too, and It cer
tainly increases the strength of the fingers.

1 A battle royal In the fashion world 13
raging. The tailored frock, long a. favorite
with the American girl of the practical turn
of mind, has become chagrined at the back
seat It was forced to take when the frilly
fussy gown swung Into a vogue that threat
ened to make butterflies ot us alt whether
we would or not.
The tailored frock Is fighting a hard fight
to come back. To that end It Is appearing
before us, embroidered, beaded and buttoned
to such an extent that Its own mother
wouldn't know It.
The work on these frocks, to Judge by
the shining examples I have seen. Is re
markably fine. Delicate silks and wash
silks and shantungs and pongees are mado
In simple, graceful, but unmistakably
tailored lines. But there's one little thing
that reveals tho tailored tub frock, and you
can see It on every on )f them Its's tho
crow's footl This Is u me In colors, to
match or contrast with tho frock, on box
plaits and collars, and other unexpected
places.
Dear Madam Vhat shall I do with iny white
Mlk sweater? It Is very yellowi and I have
tried washing it In various bleaching prepara
tion? with no good result. Do you think It can
bo dyed? What color would you choose? I
am short nnd stout, with brown eyes nnd brown
hair nnd clear skin. How long will It take to
have my sweater cleaned? IIOSE.
I should havo the Bweater dyed, by all
means, for when a white ono turns yellow
It must bo dry-cleaned Instead of washed.
This soon doubles tho cost of having It
dyed, which Is very little. You could wear
old gold, rose, bluo, tan, gray, emerald,
putty or any of the brown shades. Tho
bright colors look better. The tlmo depends
upon whero you tnko tho sweater to bo
dyed. Usually It takes a week.
Dear Madam I have a very small purple felt
hnt. The shape Is a sort of mushroom, turned
down all the ny nround. with a high crown.
I want to trim It so that It can be worn with
a summer frock or a tailored suit. Do you
think thla can bo done, nnd what would u
suggest as trimming? .. ,. .
Is a small hat of this sort too "gay" for
a woman with gray hair? Mils. J. a.
Morning-glories, panslcs or nny largo
purple flowers would look well around the
crown of your hat. Or you can got small
Jack-ln-tho-pulplts, green and lavender
orchids and violets for tho samo purpose.
Get a twisted pleco of two-lnch-wldo moss
green velvet nnd stitch this to tho top of
tho crown, all tho way around. Finish
with a wired bow at tho back.
No, Indeed.
Dear Madam I have a good crepe de chine
fiettlcoat. with n wldo flounce ot satin nnd
ace. This Is too long for me, nnd I find that
I am In danger of putting my foot through the
tlounco all the time. I started to tnke It up.
but tho tuck showed, even though It was on
tho wrong side. What shall I do7 It Is threo
Inches too long. Tour advice will be apprecl.
ated. SCHOOLQIItL.
Measure off the three Inches from tho
top of your Bklrt, make a heading nnd run
a drawing string or narrow elastic through
It. Cut off the unnecessary crepe de chine.
If you do not wnnt to cut off the crepo do
chine, let this part bo turned under, but do
it neatly or It will be very bulky.
Doilies by the Yard
It seems as If tho shops can never be
outdone in the matter of ingenuity. Hero's
tho latest arrival. A woven cretonne of
pretty design has a very large pattern
mado In threo large ovals. These nro
closely flttcd together nnd look rather con
fusing to tho uninitiated until tho sales
person explains that these ovals are to be
cut out, like pnper dolls, and lo, you
havo a set of pretty dollies for the sun
parlor or dining room. Out of a yard of
this material you can get a large center
piece, four plate dollies and six tumbler
dollies. The Idea 1b that these flowered cut
outs must be finished neatly nround tho
edges with fine whtto or colored braid.
Crocheted edges ar'o also prl'tty. Tho
latter Is cheaper and very. easy to make.
A slmplo crocheted edge may bo mado
by making a filet meBh all around tho edgo
of the dolly by making a double-crochet
stitch, then two chains and Inserting tho
point of your crochet ncedlo through the
turned-back edgo of tho doily. When you
have gono nil around tho dolly this way,
mako another row of open crochet mesh in
tho same manner. Let tho double-crochet
stitches fall on the last ones. This makes
a sort of ladder. Tho third row Is made
by making a single crochet In tho first
double crochet of the last row, chain two,
a double crochet In last double crochet and
chain five, catching In the last double
crochet made, chain two and single crochet
In next double stitch again.
New Vinegar Use
No housekeeper likes the disagreeable
task of picking aver greens to remove small
insects. And yet, In this warm weather,
when everything comes straight from tho
farm. It Is very likely that small visitors
are reposing In your corn, lettuce or spin
ach. Ono woman gets them out this way:
She puts half a cupful of vinegar in a shal
low pan of water and Immerses the greens
In It. The acid dislodges all the parasites.
They soon float to the top of the pan.

Press Your Own Garments
Ignorance of tho proper way to go about
pressing one's clothes is responslbto for
more than ono dressmaker's failure. More
depends upon the careful presslrig of seams
and hems than tho average dressmaker
dreams of. It Is foolish to attempt even
the' simplest bit of homo sewing without a
good Ironing equipment. If possible, one
Is saved many stcpa by having the ironing
board and tho Iron attached In tho sew
ing room before the work Is started. It
saves the seamstress many unnecessary
and tlme-waBtlng trips up nnd down stairs.
A woman who known nil about these
things says that all sewing can be made to
look as though pressed by the taltor, even
one's suits, If It Is dono In tho right way.
Her utensils Include a tailor's goose, weigh
ing about 12 pounds, for heavy cloth ; tho
regulation Irons, and a fair-sized doll's set
for fine articles. Tho Ironing bonrd is
covered with several layers of blanket and
a clean cloth of muslin or calico. Old
sheets that do not shed lint nro Ideal for
this purpose.
Other accessories Include h. senm pad
or.rollcr made from A covered broomstick
or rolling pin. The principle of the round
paid Is that It avoids leaving tho Impres
sion of tho seam on tho wrong side. Even
n padded pencil Is used for very fine goods,
and their seamB.
A stuffed pad for fitting nil kinds of
curves Is necessary, n should bo mndc
llko a pin cushion, flat on tho bottom, nnd
measure about sovon Inches In diameter.
Always try your Iron first on a scrap of
tho material which you Intend to press.
You can better gauge Its heat than by try
ing It on a thick blankot.
To press heavy cloth scams lay tho ma
terial on tho board In tho way It has been
stitched, with tho material double. Place
tho iron exactly over tho stitching nnd move
slowly along, holding tho end of tho scam
in the left hand nnd stretch lightly, unless
It Is a bias seam. Then slip the roller un
derneath tho scam, open It nnd press with
a rag between the Iron nnd the material.
Do tho Ironing by hard pressure, taking
tho Iron up nnd replacing It further along,
rather than by pushing It up nnd down.
Hems pressed beforo tho Btltchlng Is dono
will bo found to set better. To press tucks,
turn tho iron on end and draw tho back
of the tuck across tho flat part of the Iron.
Velvet and silk seams should bo pressed
In tho samo way. To press a curved velvet
seam, heat an Iron spoon or other curved
object and pass tho Beam over the curvo
In tho spoon. This requires the nid of a
second person when you go to press It.

-i4 ....) .) ,n Iftftv fair!
iillll(. UCAik viiie. " - I
Victory' smiles on those who dare,
There Is but one way to woo I
Think thy Mistress willing tool
Leave her never chance to choose,
Hold her powerless to refuse.
If she answers thee with Mo,
Wilt thou bow and let her go?
When, most like, her "No" Is meant
But to mako mote sweet consent
So thy suit may longer be
For so much she llketh thee.
William James Linton.
Surprise Cream
Tise for this a cupful of any kind ot
fruit. Chop large fruits, such as peaches,
apples, etc. Add tho white ot five eggs,
unbeaten, a cupful of water or Juice from
the fruit nnd two of sugar. Add half the
sugar and taste, and add tho other cupful
sparingly ns some fruits nre so swset that
they do not need much sweetening. Turn
Into the freezer and freeze well.
When You Beat Eggs
Whites of eggs fall to beat to a stiff
froth if they nro too fresh, or If they are
not Cold. Unless you tnko your eggs di
rectly out of the refrigerator, It Is a good
plan to set them In Ice Wnter for a few
minutes before using. This costs little
compared to experimenting with eggs at
their present prices.
Cleaning Bottles
Shot Is not a good thing to use In wash
ing out long-necked bottles, vacuum bottles,
etc There Is danger of lead poisoning and
besides the heavy shot often Injures flno
chlnawaro In this process. Flno Band mixed
with a little soapy water Is Just as efilca
clous, without any damago done. Itlnse
with fresh water to which you have added
a bit of alcohol.
