Some- there were only ten girls; some- there were a hundred. It was b spasmodic _ work. Always we had the regular force of 10, including _stenog- raphers and clerks. But several umeif ; year we maile huge quantities_of circulars. For these we had to hire addressers and typists and folders. ‘There was one | part of that job that acute agony.

And often one was kept ‘whom I pitied. You will think this an unfair ar- rangement and that I acted that way because I was young. But I assure you that that is the way business is done. Given bad times, a lot of girls lose their jobs. But it never happens that every one loses her job. Some are always kept. And I have noticed over and over again, in office after office, that the ones who are kept are the ones the boss likes as human beings. Of course, there are some human fish who have no feelings, but they have likes; they like the same kind of cold machines that they are themselves. ‘There’s some sort of message, silent and of the spirit that runs between personalities. It colors every bit of life. Suppose _you sit down in a’trolley car.

Instructions for Smocking BY MARY ©Once you understand how to smock, you can use this form of trimming on almost any pattern. If you are going to use it on the sheulder of a blouse or dress, simply allow extra width along the seam; or, better still, do the smook- ing first and then cut out the front of the dress afterward. Usually you will need about 4 or 5 extra inches at either side of the blouse. To mark the material for smocking, other, a quarter of an inch apart each way, up and down and across.

Take a stitch in the second dot of the second row under the other stitch. Draw the two stitches together. Now take a stitch in the first dot, then one in the second dot of the third row and draw them together. Go back to the |second row and take a stitch in the third and one in the fourth dots, just under the stitches already there. Draw them together. Proceed as in the top Tow. | When you finish with each row, begin in the first dot of the row below. Always work from left to right. This is the diamond stitch. When you are drawing ther two dots in the upper of the two rows you are working keep the thread above them. When you are working the two dots of the lower of the two rows keep the thread below them.

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am 4 feet 11 inches tall, 23 years old and weigh 98 pounds, so you see I am very tiny. My problem is how to dress my hair, It is down to my shoulders, but when I do it up it seems to make my head too large in proportion to my figure. My hair is rather thick and I have a round face. Should I bob my hair again? (2) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Preserved Pears. Cereal With Cream Baked Beans, Piccalilll Raisin Brown Bread. Coffee. Mint Jelly Creamed Caulifiower. Stuffed Olives.

Your | hair can be thinned out and dressed | close to your head. The ends may be | made into a group of sculpture curls or | they may be divided into two parts, crossed over at the back and turned under in two small buns. You are very slim for your age.

NANCY PAGE Nancy Makes a One-Piece Wrap Around Slip. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Good health, daily exercise, wisely chosen meals all contributed to Nancy's slenderness. She had a horror of be- | coming bunchy in spots. Her clothes looked well on her because she did keep in trim and also because she wore underthings which fitted her fig- ure. Bunchy bloomers, gathered slips, wrinkled lingerie always betray them- selves. That may have been the reason she was so pleased with a new slip which she had just learned how to make. She followed ‘these directions: Measure hips and add two inches. Let's say that your hips are 38 inches. Adq 2 and you have 40 inches. Divide that total by 2, giving 20. Add the 20 to the original hip measure—in this case 38. That gives 58 inches. Cut slip the depth required when measured from under arm to length under skirt. Now measure off 40 inches, as shown in diagram. And cut out piece to the depth of distance between under arm and hip bone. Stitch under arm edges together. This leaves the piece which laps across the front and is stitched in place, as indicated by the dotted line. Finish the bottom edge with picoting, hem or with lace as desired. Take & dart at one side, near under arm if necessary. Fasten shoulder straps in place and there you are. The wrap- around feature eliminates bulkiness, adds a bit of warmth for Winter or avoids transparency in Summer. And the unfastened flap gives plenty of play for long steps.

A decided tendency toward dainty decoration is noticeable. This comes as a sharp reaction from the cold severity of ultramodernistic vogue. In this the cold gray of steel or a finish simulating this metal tone has been much in evidence. Angular furniture, hard unmodulated lines, and a certain effect of uncouthness swinging far away from conventional beauty have been earmarks of the most pronounced modernistic styles. It would seem at times as if the coldness of office fur- nishings had crept into this decoration. As is always the case, however, when a fashion rises to heights, it becomes s0 ultra that the zenith is reached. Then modifications set in, and with them come reversals of styles. So it is with this modernistic decoration. It reached its apex in oddity, and now are discernible the modifications mentioned and the reversals. In the former more grace is being instilled, and an artistry that rings true and not in dissonance. ‘The unusual is stressed, but it conforms more to the accepted lines of beauty. In the reactionary decorative vogue, daintiness is the keynote. It sounds clearly in bedroom furnishings. Dress- ing tables are entirely concealed by silks and laces that hang in folds or frills, The word “dressing table” is apt, for it is so dressed up itself that it challenges whoever sits before it, to vie in beauty if possible. Beds are spread with coverlets of costly laces with glimpses of shimmering silk beneath. Hangings are edg&d with little ruffles. Everything, in short, suggests dainti- ness. ‘While the return to daintiness is felt most in chambers, the main rooms of a In the small apartment it might* home are not devoid of this element— except where modified modernism pre- vails. The old-time “throws” are found, which as the word tmplies, signi- | butter, 1y textile draperies used to throw over tables, planos and sometimes over the backs of chairs in & nonchalant fashion. They may be slightly crumpled if such an arrangement brings out the beauty of the fabric best. Lighting fixtures are soft in tones and have the nets, lace, embroideries and silks used in the making of shades. In speaking of this noticeable dainty note, it must be borne in mind that it is reactionary. It forms a different style of decoration from the modernistic. The two are compatible unless the modernistic has through the modifications before mentioned. The two styles are separate for decorators to choose between, whether experts or home decorators, If the dainty is selected it has to be developed with restraint or it becomes tawdry, just as the modernistic has to be handled with reserve lest it become too coldly for- bidding for home comfort, (Copyright, 1931.)

Modern living has somehow created the impression that it pays to be “different.” There may be something to it. On the other hand, this latest cult seems to be founded on false premises.

Light in Dark Places. «“We have not followed cunningly de- vised fabies ‘We have a more sure word of P cy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place."— II Peter, 1.16-19. What a dark place the world is—dark with mystery and misery. Mystery! Everywhere the world con- fronts us with mystery. We are com- passed with it. The sky is heavy with | jt. The heart is oppressed with it.| The poet refers to this when he writes: “So runs my dreams: but what am I? An infant crying in the night: An infant crying for the light: And with no language but 8 cry.” Misery! How great is the worlds misery—with eall its want and woes, all its heart-breaking, all the tears it is shedding, all the burdens it is bear- ing, all the sorrows it is enduring, all its chaos, all its discomfort, all its ailure, all its darkness!

And a bit disappointed the stranger said: “I am —. I thought you would re- member me. Why, you voted to con- firm my appointment as United States attorney for —— district.” The manner in which the Senator met the situation was a marvel: “My dear fellow,” he said, “the other evening I attended a formal dinner. ‘There were 100 or more present, un- known to me, but all dressed the same.
