Bessie was a superior young per- son—she'd gone to a nice school and upon graduating had taken up a course of interior decorating. After she'd firished that, she went out into the great world to do big things. One of the big department stores in New York gave her a job—she was installed in a nice office and given pleasant work to do. She was happy. Then, one day, the head of her de- partment shocked and surprised her with the information that Bessie must be moved out of her office. She was thrown in with a crowd of girls such as she'd never seen before. And she was told that she must learn to work with her hands—her head explained kindly that if Bessie were going to be a real success she'd have to get down to brass tacks, and learn what it was all about. But little Bessie pined away—nearly died in the uncongenial surrofindings. One day there came a call for a parcel to be delivered at an uptown house. No one of the messenger girls was in sight, and Bessie, if you please, asked to deliver the bundle—a large, unwieldy looking affair. Sulkily she obeved. She was dis- gusted ~and discouraged, but she solemnly put on her hat and coat and marched out with the package under her arm, On her way uptown she met Tom, Where are you going?” he asked sually. “And what are you earry- “‘“', a piano? Let me take it for you?"’ Bessie was scarlet with humiliation. She couldn’t tell him that her glorious career had turned into that of an er- rand girl So she lied.

She did. And when Bessie got back to her place of business, the head had some- thing to sa Bessie flew come here to carry pa with a bunch of roughnecks,” she shrilled, forgetting her ladylike accent in her ange And 1 don’t want to work for this ghastly establishment mor And that was that. told Bessie that for a peach of a job—that the older woman had felt her young employe needed to overcome some of her snob bhishness before she could make a really good executive, The head just sighed and shook her head, and looked around for another promising voung woman who wouldn't consider herself too ladylike for any work which might be assigned to her. Bessie got a pleasant, nnimportant post with a nice, refined decorator, 1s ladylike as she pleased, and paid her $12 a week until she got married. (Copyright. 1026.)

C. ‘la person inclined to grow stout and Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Just for the Mothers. One of the trials of the young mother is the loss of her figure, not only during the actual months of pregnancy but afterward. She finds that during the lactation period she is inclined to take on lots of weight, and afterward the breasts are flabby and the hips and abdomen high. The general plea is, “How can I get back my girlish figure?” Of course, bewaliling the loss of it won’t help at all. The muscles have been so stretched and the consequent relaxation afterward tends to make the abdomen seem larger than it really Is. What one needs is to take some exercises calculated to strengthen the abdominal muscles and tighten them sufficiently to hold the internal organs firmly in place. It is a mistake to diet during preg- nancy. The body needs ample and wholesome nourishment, and to de prive it of such for the sake of keep- ing down the weight is to work oneself and the babe injury. Somewhat the same thought must be kept in mind when one is nursing the baby. A diet which will keep down the weight of make use of all the food elements im- bibed is a diet too scanty to provide nourishment for the growing child. Dor’t do it. Leave the dleting until after the baby is weaned:; though one need not stuff in order to provide this nourishment; just sane, wholesome food, and plenty of milk. It will not hurt at all to take exer- cises which will stir up the circulation, tighten the muscles and “help the figure on its way back to normalit The ‘‘Mosher” exercises are excel lent for this; in fact, they are fine to take during the first months of preg- nancy, as an ald to strengthening the abdominal muscles. Lie flat on the back in bed. Draw in the abdomen tightly. Relax. Push out the abdomen. Relax. Do these first five times and increase until they can be done 10 or even 20 tim first there will be considerable s ness of the muscles, but this will wear away and the muscles will become strong and taut. It is not that the in ternal organs are actually larger when the abdomen appears bulbous after | the birth: for insix weeks they should | be back to normal size;but it is the | relaxed muscles which fail to hold them in place. It pleases me to find that women take enough pride in their appearance to want to retain a youthful figure despite several children. There is no reason to grow fat because one has a ily: in fact. one's health is im measurably benefitted by keeping to normal weight and keeping one's figure. It is only the woman of unre- strained appetite and enormous weight who becomes caustic about vouthful figures. Keep in miind that ‘it takes excellent self-discipline, not just wish ing, in order to retain a youthful figure, and such self-discipline is gen- erally beneficial, o Grilled Figs.

The next time I get CZE, even though I hear 'em offering five-tube sets as prizes, in two languages, I'll hastily twirl the dial to something else, for there ain't no sech station.
