There are plenty of men who never acquire the art of driving a nall without smashing their fingers, who never find out what ails the automobile when it goes blooey and who couldn’t add up a column of figures at sight to save their lives, but this does not keep them from being eminent physicians and lawyers or from making fortunes in the grocery | trade. The men who fail in the world are invariably those who stumbled into daing things for which they had no natural aptitude—the preachers who should have been bricklayers. the bricklayers who should have been preachers, the merchants who should have been doctors, the doctors who should have been merchants or actors or farmers. Wherever you find & man who is doing his job badly and bungling. who is discontented and forever talking about changing to | something else, wherever you find & man who is working with his eye on the clock, with no interest in what he Is doing except what he earns by it. vou will always find that he is miscast. He has the other fellow’s job. He is a round | peg in & square hole and he doesn't fit And, on the other hand. when you find a man who has found his ap- | pointed place and who is doing the work God fashioned to his hand. you will find & man who is on his tiptoes, who is alert and happy and interested and who is always thinking of new and better ways of doing his work. Strange that we never think that women have just this sort of human re- action toward their jobs as men have toward theirs, when the job happens to | be housework. We think of women as being universally domestic, just naturally loving to cook and sew and clean and knowing by wstinet how to do it. But this isn't true. There are women who are born cooks and other women who are born office women. There are women who measure by the eye and season by the taste, whose bread is always light and whose angel food would win a blue ribbon anywhere. There are other women who never can ook any- thing that isn't a menace to life. but who know instinctively the kind of hats and gowns that other women will be crazy to buy next Spring and who are crackerjack office women and can put their fingers on anything in a filing cabinet in the dark.

DEAH DOROTHY DIX—I am & girl of 22, secrelly engaged to a man of 30.; My family oppose the match very much, because we are aristocratic, while | he belongs to very plain people. He is very handsome, dresses and talks well, has a high school education and good business ability, but I must admit that I wouldn't own his mother and father and two brothers. I would be ashamed of them before my friends. This young man's manners are not just what I would like them to be. Do you think it wise to try to change a man's ways after you are married? I love my flance with all my heart and feel that we are meant | for each other, but I do not know whether to marry him or not. 8P Answer: T should say not, if you are going o take such & snobbish attitude toward him and his family. Unless you can say to the man you marry: “Thy { people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” you will find small happiness | in being his wife. No marriage Is ever & successful marriage in which the wife fecls herself | superlor to her husband. There is something in the feminine psychology that Tiakes & woman want to look up to her husband. not down upon him, and cer- tainly no man enjoys knowing that his wife considers herself better than he is and that she regards him as a social inferior. if you marry & man whose family you are ou marry him they wiil bs your | blood will flow in your chil- | Nor are you playing the game if you mal not willing to accept. Remember thal after y family als You will bear their name and thelr | dren’s veins. Furthermore, it seems to me that nothing could be crueler than for a girl | to marry & man with the deliberate intention in her heart of separating mm! from his own people, of taking him away from the mother who bore him, the father who sacrificed to educate him and the brothers and sisters who love him and with whom he has all memories in common. What if these people have not had the social advantages that your parents | have had and Mheirmanners are not s polished? What if they are not as well educated? Some of the truest and noblest hearts in the world beat under Shabby clothes.
