F there be any one whone power Is In beauty, la purity, lu good ness, It 1b a woman." It U every woman's desire to be loved and even la her most In discreet moDientH, could you get to the heart c1 the matter, you woiiid discov er that she Is only seeking admiration ad affection. This Is more trans parent with the growiuK girl, because he has not yet learned to hide hor footings, and In consequence doe tuany rash things. This Is the reason why she flirts, ei ohaoges pictures and jewelry, and al lows familiarities with boys of whom she knows very little. The parent Is either too weak-minded or tguorant to lutluence her daugh ter In tho right direction, or she goes to the other extreme and forbids all In toroourse wtlh boys. The first course permits the girl to take any liberties with her home and Its hospitalities, and, having no respect (or her mother's judgment and pos sessing none herself, she welcomes anybody she happous to meet. The second course Is even more blnmable. A normal girl seeks Inter course with boys, and will get It whether her parents approve or not. Hue will meet them at other girls' houses, or even worse, ou the Hlreets, and, having no power of discrimina tion, results are often disastrous. It Is the mother's duty to see that her daughter meets the right men. l'lven if this side of her uuturu devel ops early, due, perhaps, to environment or companions she would do butter to allow the boys than to refuse hor daughter thulr companionship. Sht can and should dtscrlmlnuto, however, mid so exercise a stronger Influence J than otherwise on the girl's life. . There comes a time when the prin ciple of life should be explained by tho mother to her daughter. She herself knows best wheu this time arrives, and never should she shirk what is per Iiaps her highest duty. Many who call I themselves "mother" shrink from Ills. I Halving their consciences with the I thought that It Is unwomanly to speak f o( such a subject, thereby for cing the ! child to learn from outside soiirtes. i The mother Is Ihu girl's uearest and I dearest fr.cnd. and she alone can pre sent this knowledge iu a delicate way, ifar better than cuu a doubtful book, or u girl friend. If there were less retl . vonce about such matters between I mothers aud daughters, there would be less freedom between boys aud girls, ' and more properly placed modes')'. It Is the mother who can best ex j plain to her daughter why kissing, lu ilself perfectly proper, is better re- (used to a man until the ideal Is fouud, I aud an cugagemcul exists. If the I mother be au up-to-dutc woman lu oth ' er respects, her daughter will respect ' tier opinion lu this matter, also. Every girl has an ideal woman. She may be the heroine of a book, a crea ture of her mind, or a real woman; no matter, she must be beautiful. liut does she analyse her further, demand lug for her beauty of speed aud action, 1 graciousness of mauner. stralghtutas of mind and desire? It is a good plan to spend a short time each day iu thought, livery girl of growlug age Indulges In "dreams," so she can spare a little time to pic ture the attrlbues of her ideal woman, Hhe should mako It a plan to model herself dally upon her Ideal, and she will Aud herself improving, but even then she will have work to do, for her Ideal has not been standing still, but advancing as she progresses. Girls, cau you Imagine your Ideal flirting on street comers, exchanging pictures cr lings with men whom she has met perhaps once, kissing boys who place no value ou what should bit precious privilege? Can you Imaglue her losing her womanly dignity to "chase after" a boy who is already tired of her looltshneisr Or do you picture her attracting through shear torce of character as well as personality? Don't you want her to refuse overtures of affection from Tom, Dick and Harry, and Iteep her heart In reserve for the one man who is worthy of both her respect and love? I ora sure that you do. And as kurely as you want your ideal to be have In this manner, so you will act , yourself. BY MRS. MeCUNE.

Big Firms are Always Looking for Employes Who Can Think Along Commercial Lines. . BY EDNA EOAN. Pi ERE man condescends to give II some of his conclusions about al the "opposite sex." It Is soms--tlmea worth a woman's while, In such a case, to listen and ponder, atuce a mere man often gets a point of view the "opposite sex" misses. This particular mere man Is the successful advertising representative of a well known magazine, and has something to say about women in business. For a long time, he relates, he tried to find a satisfactory secretary. He couldn't make out why so many were unsatis factory till after considerable observa tion and experience. First, he says, by way of appeasing woman for his criticism, he told in terms of highest praise of the secre tary ho flDally found a glorious ex ception to the rule he laid down for women In biminess. He raises this girl's salary yearly and he wilt keep her as long as he can. "She gives to work all her thinking energy In office hours and..I should ludge from the results of her work, half her thinking energy out of hours. Thore Is the secret of ber being satis factory. She manages to keep well, so that she can put hor thought on the service she is paid for. "As a result of centering her irdnd on the business she has developed the ability to dive down into her brain and bring up an idea every now and then that goes to make a success nf ber work and mine, and so of the depart ment in general. Immediately after she came to me she entered a course In advertising on her own Initiative to make herself better able to cope with the needs of nn advertising depart ment. She reads the magazine every mouth, not merely the stories, but all the ads. When her Intuition tells her I am ready for a suggestion she Is ready to give It, without any offlclous ness or any nf the sweetly feminine tricks of managing me. "Not lung ago the magazine put stress on Are insurance and fire pro tection advertising. The last minute I was puzzling to All a page. My sec retary asked if I had solicited a cer tain manufacturer of metal doors. I got the ad. man of that Arm on the wire to open negotiations. Iu a flash my secretary was out of the room and back aga'u, thrusting before my eyes the design of that month's cover that I hadn't seen nor known about. It was a "corker' for a Are advertising Issue and gavo me the Inspiration for an additional talking point that clinched that contract. That's merely onu In stance to show shes.altve and truck ing." Then this mere man ushers In his IN serv'.ug a number of persons at tea or reception, silver and dishes often need to be washed. Ths hostess should see to It that there Is a big Biipply of dish towels, otherwise she will be mor tified by "damp spoons and plates. 0 clean a soiled white felt hat brush a paste made of pow dered magnesia and water well tuto the felt, then let the hat dry thoroughly when the magnesia Bbould be brushed out. Generally the bat will then look like new, but in some cases It Is necessary to repeat the whole process. Take care that you use a quite clean brush a nail btush will do. ry-jl ENT) leaky enameled ware with Km I white lead. Cover the small lUcJI holes with white lead on the outside of tbe vessel; for larger holes cut a piece of white lawn or muslin a little larger than the hole and pull through ou the iuaido of ves sel and apply the white lead on the outside. Place in the sun or near the stove to dry. Large mends require two or three days to dry, small ones three or four hours. GOTH and nail brushes should always be had In sets of twos, it not three, for bristles fall usually because ot having be coaio sift from constant wetting. Therefore it they are thoroughly dried filriy often their usefulness la pro longed. For example, a woman who keeps two brushes lu use at the same time, using one every otber day, will lind that the two will last longer than two other would If one were worn out before beginning on the second. All tooth brushes should hang wben not in use, to allow the moisture to run off. OMEN who live alone are apt for convenience sake to Indulge AJ somewhat freely in a liquid diet. It is so much easier fo prepare snd clean up after milk and egg, or a cup of hot choeolate or cos tee, than it is with mors substantial foods. If one must go on a liquid diet from health reasons there may be some excuse, but to adopt it for anything short of necessity Is to put a premium on bad teeth. Both in adults and chil dren the teeth need work, and it they do not get It. loosen long before their time. NE of the most convenient ar ticles to use tn a sick room is a sand bag. . It is mads from clean, fine sand, thoroughly dried on the stove. Put it Into a flan nel bag about eight Inches square, but don't fill It full, as it makes It too heavy. Sew up the opening carefully and cover the bag with cotton or linen to prevent the sand from leaking. You can quickly heat it in the oven or even complaints, his arraignment of women in business at least of some of thira. "A lot of my helpers have been thai sort that Bit around the office In spars time and embroider," said he. "No girl whose hands and mind are occu pied with stitch, stitch, stitch can think deeply at the same time. The embroid ering and novel reading sort usually waited to be told and then literally and . mechanically, without any Imagina tion, performed the task set for them. They belonged to the class that foils Into a rut and never sits down and thinks that thinking, thinking, think- ' lng Is what gets them Into something ' bigger and better. "Outside office hours women's minds are all fussed up with things no suns man. no matter how small his job, i would think of Addling with. Tlioy 1 wash, Iron, sew, knit aud cook at horns. They split up llielr energies to tho !eU riment of themselves professionally "Business girls can get a valuabls, lesson from men who give themselves wholly to professional duties. If work Isn't first In the mind no one can auo ceed at it. This means thinking oi It eight hours a day to the exclusion of all else and then thinking of it half ths rest of the time. By no means should a girl rust In business to ths exclu sion of recreation, but she should bs so Interested that she can't help find ing part of her pleasure in It. Thus her effortB become creative and shs grows with her position aud makes It grow. "Women earners, like society butler files, ran skim over the surface ot their brains and never penetrate ths thinking parts of them." concludes this cynical mere man. "Women In busi ness can stagnate and go to seed just as they can In matrimony." a . . HEADACHE CURE HEN a severe headache Is ths result of heat, a cloth dipped frequently In cold water aud placed at the base of the b; ala will give relief. Ice water should bs used for this purpose, the compress being often changed. Several drinks that will be palatable and refreshing at such times are sassafras tea and cream of tartar water, the latter being especially cooling. It Is made by dis solving a small teaspoonful of the pow der In a glassful of cold water. Ths drink must be sipped slowly. Sassa fras tea is made by steeping two heap ing teaspoonfuls of the dried root forj nan an nour in tnree pints or douiiis water, then lettiug It steam until coldL It is strained and Bweetened If desired. The latter may be drunk freely. on top of Ihe stove, and It holds Ihs heat a long time. It can be tucked la1 anywhere. It is a good thing to kees two or three of these bags on hand. aud you will never need a bottle ot hot water or a brick or tlatlron. 1 ADED colors may often ba re stored by the use of alum wa ter. A faded blouse, for In stance, should be shaken ires of dust, then washed well with castlla soap, rinsed thoroughly In clear water! and then In alum water. The alum! will generally brighten the colors and' in any case it will help to set them. 1 rnr a . v. . . i ivm Duuer me moBi irom laau lack Of exercise. Tnrieeri it 11 the exception when girls abovil 10 or 11 eet anv rprtilni mtt-Vl door exercise. To this cause much oil woman's ill health can be traced. MosfJ girls' lungs are underdeveloped, which opens me aoor to a host ot diseases. nervous even more than pulmonary.1 Professor Tyler gives some interest-' ing facts as to the effect nf nmnintlo on girls' lung capacities. He com-4 pares statistics of lung development ot iteurasKa gins ana or girls from a Nen York city Bchool, where gymnastics were required daily. At the beginning! of their school work the western girls! lungs were one-fifth larger than thossfj or me city giri.f. By the time botu 9 botu rl had '1, andj morel were ii years old the city girl caugui up witn the country girl at 12 or 13 shA hnit nnA.(hlp lung capacity. Quite a remarkable? showing! The value of Increased lunj power to the whole body is impossible to over-estimate. HIS method ot waving the habf is succesbiui it it Is not toel oily. An hour or so before rsfl uring, wet the hair with hot water. Then, while the balr is wetj1 comb it straight" back from the facay and bind piece of tape or ribbosf around an inch above tbe line where! the hair starts growing. With jrouf comb, pull the hair out from under thai tape, to form a little pompadour. TheW bu.J another piece of tape around ths head, two Inches back from the ftrsi one. Pull the hair Into a second pomp-' adoor between thla and the first' Up,1 Do this a third time. Then you wilt have three puffs of hair, and three bands of tape about the bead. Let thi hair dry this way, even tanning It dryj sa you must not go to bed with tb head wet and sleep with the tape stilt! bound around the head and the bale strll puffed between them. In that morning, the hair should be quite flrm-J ly waved around the head, and should form a soft and pretty effect when done up in any fashion at all. Howl long the wave lasts depends on how, easily your hair curls, and how dry tbs air is. But it is harmless, and not hard! to do, and the effect Is prettier tba' ths stiff wave, or a wave formed by. curling Irons or artificial heat.
