But how can we blame a woman for that? Often the only way she can get a chance is to take less money than a man. It's all a confusion and each has to do the best one can. Still, it's a great help in solving the confusion, if we know what it's about. If ever you have a chance to take a man's job at less money, remember that it's-an injury ':i'l’; man.

My husband wants to invest his savings in an oil stock. I am sure that it is just a blue-sky affair, but my husband won't listen to me. He is sure that his specu- lation will make him rich.” Almost every day in the week some ‘woman in this town is facing the same aituation. She could remain supine, and then when the inevitable crash came gloat for the rest of her life, “I told you so!” Or she can do the wise and sensible thing—exert her influence to avert the crash. After all, she has more at stake than empty satisfaction. Probably she had a mightly useful hand in accumu- uating those savings and she has sacri- ficed too much to stand aside and see them thrown to the winds. First of all, she should make a trip down to her broker, if she has ever dealt with a brokerage firm, and ask for a report on the company. Then she should consult with the officer at her with whom she is most She should feel frec to speak jally to him and present the situation Instead -of exgns-.ml determined op- position to her husband, she should re- 2 il *“Sea bathing I can do withcut,” Says Bunny, “what with Sharks about.” “Old chap,” says Puff, “relicve rour mind ‘Theze Sharks are the man-eating kind.” 375 ZL LIMIT TWO SETS Dressing jmain open-minded, but insistent that he invest nothing until the company has been investigated.

Unfortunately, this procedure is. not as easy as it may sound. Some banks are overcautious about giving out information about their depositors. . Therefore, if promoters have an account in one’s own bank it is often prudent to go to another for one’s information. | Better yet, induce your husband to |go to his own bank, inform the officers | for what purpose he is withdrawing his | acecunt, ani ask for some advice on | his ccurse of action. It will not be long in_forthcoming. The chief danger that imperils the savings of hushands that “won't listen” |is that they will act hastily, spurred lon by high-powered salesmen.

A. has been giving, or offering to give, free beauty treatments to girls who are jobless and hunting Work. Now that's a step ahead in understane human emotions and reactions. Not of the sort oocurred to more than a few people, some years ago when the Nation was suffering from unemployment, as it is today. Yet it would seem so obvious! You look well, therefore you feel well. You have confidence in yourself, you must, then, inspire confidence in other people, And, as you look well, give a pleasant impression, you also inspire liking in other people. If those two assets aren't enough to get you the job, then you must be inefficient, or else late, or the number of ofher people after the place weighs too heavily against it. Even so—there are other jobs somewhere, and the nicer you look, and the better you feel, the greater your cbances of succ ess. Well, you may not know any one who will give free beauty treatments. In that case give them to yourself. Cleanse your skin with cold cream, wash this off so as to stimulate the skin, use something to give the com- plexion a nice finish; cream, vanishing >ream, powder, anything you wish. Then rough the same cheering up process with your clothes. Buy - self something new and pretty and then go out doors look your best—and you'll cheer up at t‘!ntc‘l.
