The Business Girl.
HE girl who works In stors or fac

taxation and pleaaure during; the
houra that ahe la at leisure. She
needs, too, aome exorcise In the
open air and aome reading or atudjr

as well aa In year.
None of tlieae things are Impoaalble
to the girl In the city who wanta to

It onlv remains for each sirl to ae.

relaxation ana tne kind or culture tha

As to pleasures, be careful to aelect
thoae that do not leave an unpleasant
after-taste. Do not let youthful merrl-

square, stanch, honest man. It will not
hurt any girl to know several of such
men, and to call them her friends. She
need not let anyone of them monopo

The girl who Is obliged to pass many
nours or tne auy inaoors eltner hi

must use the ends of the day for ex

that one cnn long be healthy without

The Rule for Travelers.
AYS an editorial writer of Woman's
Home Companion:
"We teach our children elocu
tion. In the seldom-realized hope that
aome time they may go to congress; we
teach them French and German, against
a possible trip abrond; we teach them.
It seems right to us, the art of danc
ing, that they may have at least the
physical requisites for social success.
Why shouldn't we teach them how to
get on and off a car, how to use a
sleeping-car Intelligently, how to be
courteous and Inconspicuous through
knowledge? We content ourselves with
Initiating them at an early age into the
simple refinements of a go-cart, but
leave them in the later years to dis
cover for themselves the mysteries of
all other means of locomotion; and dur
ing the period -of diecwery nnd eplo
ration which extends with many to
the ripe old Biblical age, these edu
cated children of ours blunder about
Just like their parents, stopping off the
car backward, calling the nergo porter
'George," and trying to ride on last
week's transfer. From all these evils
we should be saved by even a most
rudimentary course In the school of
traveling. In fact, the chief obstacle
ln the way of the successrut conduct or
IMich a school -would be the "congestion
In the kindergarten department.
"Do not fancy that the etiquette of
traveling Is essential onlv to ocean voy
ages, To be sure, the man or woman
who Is obnoxious In the slight ac
quaintance of the streetcar becomes un
bearable during a week of constant as
sociation In a restricted area bounded
on all sides bv the sea: and the quiet
"courtesy that leads a man to give his
eat to a woman in a streetcar and
leads the woma-n to thank him for It Is
more a matter of note In the man who
has been your courteous companion at
table during several days of unsought
companionship which has mellowed into
friendship. But In the streetcar and on
the train the Importance of courtesy
and poise, of the "know how" that
comes of experience and breeding, can
not be overestimated. If we cannot
have schools of traveling, we can at
least learn by experience and observa
tion and careful study of the rules of
the game. And the first and last rule
for traveling Is this:
"Be Inconspicuous."

Two Novel Entertainments.
A1 3WAP party and a tulip bed for ba
zaars lire two new devices which
are suggested by contributors to
the Woman's Home Companion. A
swdp party Is managed as follows: In
clude In your invitation this sentence
"The swapping will begin promptly at
8:30. and you are requested to bring a
package containing some article with
which you are willing to- part." Any
thin will do. from a button to a pic
ture hat, -or from a pipe to a dish mop.
The more outlandish and ridiculous.
the more fun the possessor will have
In exchanging it. Kxplaln, hefore the
swapping begins, that each person may
swap with any other as many times ns
desired, opening ana examining eacn
package received, and if not satisfiod,
may reswap and swap again. At the
Ttilrallnn nf n arlven time a bell nhniiM
,be rung, announcing that time Is up
and that each must then retain the ar
ticle In hand.
If your society, club or order Is go
ing to have a bazaar or do something
to make money, and you want the prt
trest and newest device, have a tulip
bed.
First make your tulip bed. and do It
this way: Build a plank frame, octa
gon shape, 18 fe"t In circumference and
seven Inches deep; place It in the mid
dle of the floor of the room wh'-re your
affair Is to take place, and fill It If
within two Inches of the top with saw
dust. Covit the outside of the bed with
green crrpe paper, and also run utilp
around Inside, pushing the lower ed ft
aown into tne sawdust: eaten tne two
sheets together at Intervals, and fluto
tne edges.
You will have ready a number of tu
lips no matter how many made of
creje paper, and to each stem tie a
prize. Plant the prize, which corres
ponds to the bulb of the tulip, In the
sawdust, fill the bed full enough to
look natural, holding your reserve sun
ply for future plantings, for they will
be needed.
Begin business at two cents a pull.
Mix humor with business and promo'e
a spirit of fun and enthusiasm by hav
ing the prizes quaint and surprising.

Pointers for Spring.
AFKATl'RK of the new suits Is the
gay waistcoat. Nearly all the
short Jacket suits huve this novel
addition. Gold embroidery Is used upon
them extensively and gold buttons form
a noticeable part of the trimming. In
the oriental embroideries these are fre
quently beautiful, and lend an air of
distinction to quiet costumes. In the
cretonne and other gay figured stutfs
they are more striking than beautiful.
The surface form Is to be used quite ex
tensively for house costumes, and Is :i
graceful and generally becoming stylo.

Accidents In the Nursery.
COMMON mischance in the nursery
is the lodging of a foreign body
in the eye, the ear, the nose, the
throat or the alimentary canal.
Occasionally, too, such an article
gets into the air passage, but this Is
rare. In the eye may become lodged
dust, cinders and loosened eyelashes, all
of which cause much Irritation and dis
comfort. A convenient Instrument for
removing such particles is made by
wrapping a small piece of absorbent
cotton around a toothpick or match.
If the foreign substance can be seen It
may be readily removed-with this. If It
Is not in sight the lower eyelid must be
depressed and search made; lf this fails
to reveal It the upper eyelid muse be
folded back over' any cylindrical object
such as a large knittlna- needle, a nen-
cll or pen holder. If the object has be
come imbedded in the fleshy part of the
eye so that the swab of cotton does not
remove it, the child muse be taken to a
physician,
With foreign oodles In the ear clumsy
handling is more a pi to injure the ear
than to remove the object. If tho ob
ject can be seen it may be gently re
moved with the bent end of a wire hair
pin. If this Is not effective, pour a lit
tle sweet oil into the ear and then turn
the child's head with that ear down; If
this does not result in removal of the
object a warm water syringe may be
used, Mit if all these fail, take the child
