Are Young.
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.

THE WSRAN IN BUSINESS .
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.

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

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

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- '

bigger and better.

"Business girls can get a valuabls,
lesson from men who give themselves
wholly to professional duties. If work

eight hours a day to the exclusion of
all else and then thinking of it half ths

"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

as they can In matrimony."

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

drink must be sipped slowly. Sassa

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

Do this a third time. Then you wilt
have three puffs of hair, and three

bound around the head and the bale

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

to do, and the effect Is prettier tba'
