‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ ts’ for The Busin ~ You Can Measure ns Your Own Ability to Succeed By Applying _ These 16 Tests _ By Marguerite Dean Copyright, 1922 (New.

The “DO'S” tat go to make your iccess, the “DON'TS” you must obey ay would not court failure, are all gummed up for you in.a clever little ed book by Jean Rich, entitled ‘Do's #id Don'ts for Business Women.” It fs such a bit of a book that you may slip it into your handbag, and its ehapters are so tersely to the point that you may read one or more every day on the way to the office. It has just been brought out by the Wom- en's Press of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. and should be most helpful and interesting reading to the ousands of New York girls with Mir own place to make in the busi- ess world. Out of the many bits of wis- om in the book I have selected eight DO'S” for business women and eight ; DON'TS.” What OU score in the following tests? : THE EIGHT “DO'S.” 4.

A YOUNG woman is in great trouble because the young man she had heen keeping company with for over a year took offense because one evening her mother spoke to him as to his intention regarding her daughter. It seems that the young man wanted to borrow some money+to help him become more firmly established in’ a work that he had already started, and the young lady had spoken to her father and mother abont it and they had agreed to help, if the couple were truly engagéd—which was the reason for the mother spenking to him. Doubtless the mother put the mat- ter too plainly, but the young man took offense and was ‘very unkind to the girl. Aceording to her letter, “he said his love .has died out—and’ that he ie disgusted with the whole situa- tion, She says: ‘He doesn’t want to come to my housé any more, saying he could never face my mother. any more. He said he is going to sell out and go out of town—that it fs all off “Do you think that if he truly loved me a little thing like that could kill his love for me? Do you think he was ri,ht in taking that attitude? Don’t you think he is a little narrow- minded? “1 have pleaded with him in every manner, shape and form to forget this thing, but it fs of no avail. He thinks it is terrible, I am heartbroken, as I love him. } ‘Should my mother have interfered A NEW FAD—GUESS WHAT? Over in England some one had a “bird of an id ind “slipper” are shown above.

W Anything gone wrong?" asked Mr. Jarr when his good lady met .him at the door with a grave face. “Willie has been misbehaving, and you must punish him," said Mrs. Jarr. ‘He's been just dreadful to- day.” “Now, look here,’’ retorted Mr. Jarr. ‘I do not see why I have to do that. I come homé often when the children are abed, and I go downtown in the morning often before they are up. They see very little of me.” “They'd see more of you if you'd come home earlier. or stay in at nights,"’ replied Mrs, Jarr, curtly. ‘However,’ she added, “that's not the question and it's no uge for me trying to say anything. about the matter, but you MUST discipline Willle.”* “But I do not-want to come home to beat my children, Why, Willie is a boy--just a natural, human boy You wouldn't want him to be a goody-goody!"” (4 “And I do not want him to‘be a ruffian. and a slugger,” said Mrs. Jarr, ‘Ho set upon Mrs. Wilkinson's little boy Aubrey, as Aubrey was coming home from his plano lessons, and beat him brutally.’ "Oh, just @ fight of kids; I don’t think any one ‘was hurt,"’ replied Mr, Jarr. “Willie: musn’t be encouraged in ruffianism and he's getting so strong he is beyond me," said Mrs. Jarr, “and it's your place to correct hit. And he won't tell me why saulted Aubrey. And Mrs, Wilkinson says if we do not punish Willie she'll have him arrested!" . “Well, if you want mé to interfere in childish squabbles,"’ snorted Mr. Jarr, affecting to be sertous, ‘I sup- pose I'll have co do something. Where is Willie?" “He's in his room and he's very naughty and says he'll do it agatn,"” said Mrs. Jarr. “He will, will he? I'll see about that!"" retorted Mr, Jarr fiercely. “Hey, kid, what did you punch the big crybaby for—eh, son?’’ asked Mr. Jarr in a confidential whisper as he slipped in and took the boy on his knee, Willie, who had sat scared but reso- lute, threw his arms around his father's neck and began to cry. “He was c! ing Mary Rangle and slapping her," sniffed the boy. ‘I couldn't tell that because they'd say I was Mary Rangle’s beau. I ain't, but I ain't going to let anybody hurt Mary."” Bet your life, son!"’ said Mr. Jarr. “You put it all over him, didn't you? Did he hit back?" “He tried to, Pop," said Willie rl \ he as- 4, proudly, ‘but I punched him good and he run home cryin’."’ “Bully for you! but don’t tell mamma,” proud father. “Well, did you give him a good talking to?" asked Mrs. Jarr, looking in. “Of course, I did!" said Mr. Jarr. “And I threatened to make him paint wild flowers and take piano lessons, too!"* “I know where he gets all his rough ways,” said Mrs. Jarr. But when Mr, Jarr told her all, sho smiled and said: ‘‘He's just like you are, or were, fighting about the girls!"* Here's a quarter, said the or let things go on the way they did? She says she did not say anthing that ought to offend him Bo you think she was wrong? My mother would not have spoken that way to him if T had only known him for a short while —but as I have known him so long, I think it is making ‘a mountain out of a mole hill.’ Don't you?” I would say to this young lady that the man is certainly making “a mountain out of a mole hill," and if he persisted in this action I would so school myself as to forget him en- tirely. It:can be done. Such a man is not worthy of any girl. The truth of the matter is that ne should be thankful and grateful that the mother is interested enough to talk to him about it, If he is so “touchy? before he is married, he will be impogsible afterward. The mother meant well for both of them and he should have realized it. I would call a young man like this & very ‘‘small potato’ indeed, and I am ‘confident if he pretended to love the girl now, the love would soon die if such a small provocation is any cri- terion. Perhaps this young woman now feels the pain very keenly, but it were indeed wiser to cut the whole matter off as with a knife and make up her mind to forget him than to condone his offense and go on with him—for it is an offense to her, He has ot considered her feelings whatever, and the sooner she realizes this the better. Besides, there are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. vf this young woman was frank enough to tell her father and mother the situation, there is some good in her and she would interest herself in making the man make good too. If he has not appreciated this, he is not worthy of her. There will come along another young man who will be worthy of her_and who will see the fine quality in her make-up. - Furthermore, the man who assumes the high and mighty attitude, espe- cially when he wants help from th parents of a young womawm, is a bi conceited and altogether the kind of young. man that should be very earefully considered before one enters into a life partnership with him. I think the forgiving is all on the young woman's side, and, unless he seeks reconciliation and forgets the whole matter and apologizes to the young woman for the trouble he has caused her, she should let him go— the quicker the better. This may seem a bit harsh, but T feel that the sooner such affairs are ended the sooner the young woman will get over it and perhaps learn to like somebody much finer in purpose and make-up. Young people should realize that parents have the right to know if their children are contemplating mar- riage, and the girl that cannot go to her mother and tell of such an im- portant matter as her love for a man, and if that mother cannot speak to the young man about it, then it is a sorry day in the scheme of things.

HEN I decided to install a W Kitchenctte arrangement I had no closet. or kitchen cab- Inet nor even table room after I had had my gas range installed, which of itself was unsightly, so I bought from the second hand store an old chest of drawers with a marble top for the sum of $2.50; this, after being var- nished and the drawers painted white, was entirely suitable and adequate for silver, linen, groceries, with the bottom deep drawer fer pots and pans, but the best part was that mar- ble top, on which I roll my biscuit ough, pie dough, &c., &c. It is by far more serviceable than a table or bread board, and much more easily kept clean. I also bought a mahog- any tray which I stand on it against the wall, and no one ever dreams of the many uéts the old discarded bu- reau holds, Finally I bought a four- foot screen, which I put around my $as stove, and people would not be- Heve without looking that in a cor- ner of my room I had a splendid kitchenette. MISS A. T. iCE BOX IDEAS. I used to put uncooked meats on ice in porcelain or china plates, but after having several of them broken by falling off the ice I now uve an agate tray, saving me all worry .of broken china. I also find casseroles with covers a great convenience for storing things +in the ice chest. The covers prevent food taking up other odors, I find them wonderful for prunes, canned fruits or leftover puddings. Their cost is something in the neighborhood of 39 cents. MRS. G.

She thought she could understand too how he was attracted to this charming girl. She knew that she had not only inter- preted beauty but brains in her pic- ture.
