SARTORIAL SUGGESTIONS-MARION HARLAND'S CORNER-SEWING AVICE-QUER
iS THE MODERN BUSINESS
WOMAN A ROLLING STONE?
tThe Fact That She Seldoms Signs a Permanent
Lease Brands Her With the Wanderlust,
Says Correspondent
WHY dos a business woman refuas
to sign a lease? Why does she pre
fer to take nn apartment by the month.
ylnif a third more for It than ho would
w she leased It by the year?
These questions ngltnto the breast of
more than one good lamllndy whoso apart
menu near the downtown districts nre
the abode of newspaper women, artists,
' buyers for the largo department stores
and salaried women In other lines.
And no wonder. It seems unreason
able that women whoso skill nnd Inslcht
earn for them a fat check eery week or
who havo made names for themselves by
uccessful competition In the business
world should overlook this simple A U C
ef rent-paying.
A correspondent writes her explanation
f the riddle:
"I hove been renting apartments to
business women, newspaper people nnd
artists for the last five years," she de
clares, "and my observation Is that there
arc several conclusions with regard to
leases and their Influence on rentals. The
first Is that apartments leased by the
year arc cheaper than apartments rented
by the month, because the owner of the
apartments must protect himself. Ho can
afford to throw off a few dollars each
month when he knows thnt his tenant is
bound to stay tho year out, but If ho
rents from month to month the risk Is
thero and tho tenant must pay tho differ
ence. "Women don't like to sign lenses
There's something constitutional about It.
They don't like tho ldeu of being tied
down to one place; they seem to prefer a
feeling of Independence to a Kod bar
gain, lluslnesn women arc, on tho whole,
bluffers, nnd are too nggrrslvo to be
agreeablo tenants. They nre rolling stones.
They would rather put up with make
shifts and change often thon feel that
they're fixtures In ono apartment."
A business woman of my araunlntance
hu.i nn apartment which Is svally u llttlo
home The smart lacquered furniture
cool bluo walls, dainty bluo and white
china and comfortable nrmchalrs look
like a newly weds' dovecote Instead of a
busy woman's rooms. Hero she ret els In
all things domestic makes maontialsc,
Irons out her best blouses, beats up a pan
of fudge and darns her i.llk stockings.
Sho knows that this Is the proper balanco
after a day of ncne-exhauitlng work nt
her palette or tjpcwrlter.
Hut on one point mj correspondent Is
right. The business woman soklom signs
a early lensc. I wonder why? Could It
bo thnt she Is afraid that tho Inherent
domesticity In ecry woman's disposition
will "get her yet" 7 Or Is she really a roll
ing stono?

upon a verse In the lamentations of Jere

Exercise for Beauty
The woman who does her own housework
Is usually worn out at the end of the day.
She Is apt to corcludc. therefore, that ex
ercise Is not a word Intended for her. She
could hardly make a greater mistake, how
ever A woman needs n half hour's rest
near the middle of the day. It Is true, but
sho needs also systematic and stimulating
exercise
One reason why women are eo fatigued
nt the end of the day is that they lack
muscle tone Half nn hour of brisk exer
cise suited to the particular needs of each
Individual, and taken regularly, followed by
a cold dash of water, will serve to keep the
whole muscular and nervous system In
tone It also works wonders in keeping
eves bright and color good, something that
all women desire.

"OH! THAT'S EASY!"
Let me ask you a few questions. I want and I want HARD to make your
school days HAPPY.
I want to tell you and I don't want any crown person to know about it,
either, BUT I wish I had studied harderl
Persons say to me: "My, what a SOFT job! You only have to write a few
talks and stories and puzzles a week and you are done. Pshaw! some soft job!"
Is itT
Do you know why people THINK I have a soft job?
I will tell you.
It is because I am INTERESTED in what I am doing.
I HAVE AN OBJECTl
Let's see Daby is playing with his blocks. He has 26 letters. He has
what I have 26 letters from A to Z. Has baby an object?
Not at all. He plays by the hour and maybe he NEVER makes a word.
X have an object in view. I have the exquisito pleasure of amusing you and
(I tiust) HELPING -awj.
Surpev this year in school you have an object. Suppose you try to be tho
HEAD OF THE CLASS, Suppose you try never to be tardy or absent.
Lessons are sometimes dull because they never seem to get you anywhere.
If you do not like arithmetic or spelling or any subject, write and tell mc I
WH try to make it easier for you. I will try to make it INTERESTING.

Fish Filets
Pish should always be fried like dough
nuts. In deep fat. Bacon drippings are per
haps as good a mater. al as any. Butter
should not be used for frying fish.
It should be cooked until well browned,
and then removed and allowed to drain,
hut not grow cool, before serving If the
diets prepared as above are cut Into In
dividual portions before being cooked, the
housewife has no crumpled mass ot fish
as the result of her labors, but Arm, well
cooked squares of a delicious food.

Boll together a pound of granulated
sugar and a half-cup of water until It

Ttin first article of a woman's fall ward
robe Is her autumn hat. Thla most Im
portant article deserves all the attention
thnt It gets, for nothing la more fascinating
tlnn a new hat. And, by the same token,
nothing Is more discouraging than an Ill
shaped, unbecoming affair of uncertain
characteristics.
How any woman can get an unbecoming
tint thce days Is a source of wonder to me.
The early millinery openings offer every
sort of chapenu. from modest toques of soft
black velvet to striking sample hats straight
from the Paris ateliers.

of simplicity nnd charm. Tarn crowns are

wear a turban successfully, w Ith Its flowing
veil, or Its closely fitted face veil, to give
It extra chic la Indeed fortunate She
knows her triumph Is assured She can
be as daring as to the shape of the turban
n she wlshc the crown may follow the
lines of the head, or point straight up In the
air but the first choice In material Is soft
panne or mirror velvet
Hats may come and hats may go, but the
turban goes on forever If you're wise
enough to know when one becomes you.

Extra Value in Fresh Roasted Coffee
Among our many money-saving specials for this week, the three Coffee values below deserve
your special attention. It is absurd to proclaim any one Coffee as the "Best" or to attempt to estab-
usn a single sianaara, tor individual tastes must be considered, and what appeals to one would not
satisfy another. This is why we carry three separate grades and blends, each the best quality that
can be sold at its price, and each the best blend that a scientific knowledge combined with over
twenty-five years of practical experience can produce.
It always pays to buy Coffee "Where Quality Counts."
