Dy JEAN NEWTON
Keeping Up With the Jacks
"Tes, I'm afraid we will have to gie

If the little lad who was perplexed

irobably rise m their estimation. Then.
too, the Ja"ks may have been playing

do so is riu o much an overcstimution
of the in i t.'"lance of money as it is u

And ac.v woman with the exercise of

vou close and touch hla lips to yours?
Vhy should wo young and Innocent

In the II e of a real man? When a man
forgets his future success to such an
extent that ho thinks only of his appear
ance, he Is absolutely of no uso to him
celf or to tho community.
Kvery man has a big Job beforo mm.
nnd it Is a erv simple matter to dls.
tlngulsh tho "tallor'Q model" from tho
chap who la really worth white.
One of my distant friends Is a very
handsome fellow. "Ho dances beauti
fully." as ono girl expressed It, and he
han the cutest mustache. Ho works a
trifle but not as "beautifully" as he
dances. Ho is usually "broko," but ho
has more girl friends than any fellow I
know. I don't mind his calling me
a 'rlend. If ho lets It go at that, but lio
can't bo a friend of mv sister.
Another chap, my best friend, has a
very Berlous object in life, but he also
dances and dresses very well. He treats
verv girl with the utmost respect, but
a great many girls refer to him as being
"awfully slow." Ho Is a perfect gentle
man, nud the girl who captures him will
never regret hlB choice.
If tho girls hope to succeed with tho

to build a friendship, and It must be
'ounded upon a confidence bacln.
Tho girls are also at fault. They arc

Olrls, chooso your 'Honda carefully,
demand respect, by your actions not

Tho bcautj specialists teach mani

ono of them at a small price. A list of
persons to go to can bo found In the
telephone directory, In the classified
business section, under tho hoadlng
"manicuring."
There aro classes lit millinery at the
V. W. C. A., at Eighteenth and Arch
streets, which aro very reasonable. Or
you could learn tills trade by working

"IT MIGHT BE WORSE'
IS POOR CONSOLATION
Few Persons Arc So Hard as to Feel Better Because Somo 0
Else Feels Worse But This Is a Good Remedy for Self-Pity
SOMETIMES when you nro exhausted
J from working on nnd on without re
mit, tired of disappointments, nls
ouraged with the utttcr sameness nnd
lullness of your life, somebody says,
'Oh, well, It might be worse there are
ots of people worse off than you are i
This 8cldom makes you feci better;
t merely changes your current of
thought. ,
Instead of wanting to go nwoj
die yourself, you become seized with a
great desire to rid the world of tiili
"smiling idiot" who tells you that "It
might bo worse."
n .It l,rmnMl thin in nhflUt tllC
hardest to bear. You know that other
people are more unhappy tonn you are;
you feci very sorry for them, but tho
fact doesn't help you any.

woes that you cau find pleasure in the
thought that some one clso has more

day of hard work, which doesn't seem
to havo made any headway at all ; just
luo wnuung in a treauniui.
r)U don't feel very well nnd you
wonder whether your glasses need
chancing, or whether you ought to have
a tooth pulled, or what you can do to
stop that throbbing headache.
You feel utterly discouraged, and an
far ns you can sec ahead there is
nothing but a hopeless outlook of the
same kind of living, just plugging along,
not getting anywhere, not helping any
body, not nmoanting to anything, never
having any fun.
By the time you get this far your
throat aches with self-pity, and your
chin Is getting very wobbly.
That's the time to bring in your llttlo
thought about somebody else who is
worse off than you arc.
That girl, for instance, who has been
standing up nil day long, selling silk
stockings on the side nisle under the
sign, "Reduced."
Her head aches, too, and she is so
tired thnt she can hardly walk to the
crowded car that will take her "home."
That "home" 1b not the warm, com
fortable, congenial place that you are
taking your troubles to; it's a room, all
alone, among other detached rooms, in a
boarding house.
JT ISN'T very warm, and it isn't at all
J comfortable; instead of a cheerful
lamp, it has a drenry light which il
luminates part of Uie room and leaves
the rest in a cold, ereenish sort of dusK,

now Mr. William .T. Koch, of La Crojse. J
Wis., has invented lor her an adjust
able bark-rest that will make her choir
ns comfortable as any.
It is made of bpiral springs, covered
with canvas, that are firmly held br
brackets attached to the back of the
chair. The brackets can bo adjusted
to any width or height to suit the par
ticular girl who uses them. As bhe leant
buck the springs support her yet gh(
her plenty of leeway. She is not npt ta
suffer from nn nchlng back nnd tha
fatigue that usually accompanies it..
