WOMAN'S REALM CONTAINING A VARIETY Ofr USEFUL INFORMATION HOUSEHOLD MATTERS
IS LUCK ALWAYS EUNNING
AGAINST YOU IN BUSINESS?
The People Who Seem to Have Been Born Under
an Unlucky Star How Many of Them
Do You Know?
IP TOU feol that you liavo had a fair
, mcasuro of success In your business
ventures, possibly tlili Is not for jou.
BUt If, on tho other hiuul, you nt e ono of
thoso to whom fnto has dcn.lt an 111
assorted hona you may bo Interested.
I know bo many Blrli, ami men. too, for
that matter, who havo been "unlucky" In
thla respect.
Almost Invariably thoy nro very
"talky," otherwise how shoultl tho world
know how badly they hao been treated?
llow, Indeed?
Ono man of my nrqualntanco Ii llko
this. As a boy, ho was always Bolting
Jnto trouble and Just as surely netting
out of it with tlio help of hh doting
mother. At school Wllllo was alwayH tho
"goat" when things went wrong. Wlilto all
tho "fellows" used ponies, It had to bo
yilllo who was caught.
Ho wont out for tho team at college, but
although ho sat on tho sidelines wrapped
in a blanket for thrco ycats ho never got
hit latter. Of com so tho others had pullt,
it was easy to sec. Kor tho huiiio re.ison
he Was kept out of tho fraternity ho was
dead anxious to make. '
"When Willlo entered business ho very
magnanimously ronicntcd to accept some
thing small at tlio stmt. Just beginning
at tho bottom, you know. Of com so In a
few months they would sco that ho was
really fitted for big things.
But somehow, although ho has nover
been absent well, oncn or twlco perhaps,
and Is rarely lato except when tho ttalni
delay him, other men, mero boys, havo
como In and been promoted right over his
head.
