This article is not addressed to em ployees, but to those who are in busi ness for themselves, or who occupy independent positions. Ninety-nine and nine-tenths per cent of business men, and ninety-nine per cent of professional men. labor under the delusion and it is a delu sionthat their work would stop, and a part of the world would stand still, if they dropped out of the treadmill for the whole of a day, or the whole of a week, or for a longer time They are self-elected slaves, and do not realize that quality of work count more than quantity, that the clear brain and the vigorous body will ac complish more in a day than the fagged-out mind and tired body can do in a week. There are tlmeH when we cannot leave our ofiices without Incurring loss, but we are nowhere as India pensable to ourselves, or to otherB, as we think we are. 1 recall an Incident: The editor and owner of a great newspaper had not left bis desk for twenty years. He was brain and body tired. His doctor ordered him to take a vacation. "No, no," he said. "I can't do it." "Haven't you competent assist ants?" asked the doctor. "Yes." replied the editor, "but they depend upon me for direction." "Nonsense," retorted the doctor, "you are too big a man not to have a plant that will keep in motion if you let up for a week or bo. Suppose you are taken sick. If you don't rest now, you will have to later, and it will mean a month's, and perhaps a year's ab sence from the office." The editor decided to stay away for a week, but he did not dare to tell his assistants, as he was afraid It would demoralize the office. He went out into the woods, and came back a better man. On Monday he entered his counting room "Good morning, Mr. Brown," said his general manager. "How are things going?" asked the editor. "Fine," replied the general man ager. "Just landed a big contract from the Jones Manufacturing company." With a surprised look on his face the editor went upstairs. His assist ant met him with the usual greeting. "How's everything?" he asked. "Same as usual," replied the assist ant. The editor passed through the ed itorial and reportorial rooms, but no body eaid anything about his absence. At last In desperation he spoke about it to one of his assistants. "Why, when did you go?" exclaimed the man. The editor went Into his private sanctum, sat down In the editorial chair, put bis feet on the editorial desk and talked to himself for an hour. lie had lsarned his lesson. A friend of mine, a general of In dustry, absents himself from his of fice for an extended period twice a year. He finds that while he Is away there Is an Increase of business. "How do you account for It?" asked a friend. "I'll tell you," replied the business man. "I've organized my business bo well that each department has indi viduality and works by Itself, yet In harmony with the others. When I'm there, my managers depend upon me. When I'm away, they realize their im portance and make strenuous efforts to 'make good.' And they do." Men who fail,. as a rule, are those who either work too hard or do not work enough, who either teep too long hours or too short hoursi. Men who succeed compromise be tween the two extremes, work hard when they work, and play hard when they play, making their recreation a part of their life's duty. Don't fool yourself Into believing that you havo not time to take a rest. DETROIT Futurist Ambulance. In Interior decoration the modern ist movement still hold the fort. An ambulance, tecently presented to France by a woman much Interested in art and who has a liberal fortune back of her, has its paneled walls painted in a peacock green to a height of four feet, with the rest of the surface the color of a lemon. Such a color scheme would make most well people feel sick and dizzy but the giver of the ambulance is sure that the wounded soldiers will be delightfully amused; they will, perhaps, be made to forget their in juries by the nightmare effect. Har per's F.azaar. Foreboding. "What are your objections to me as a son-in-law?" said the young man. "I don't like the ntyle of your clothes," replied Mr. Curarox. "Why, I don't pay much attention to dress." "That's the r?nson. I have my doubts about having you around tho house. I'm afraid you're the kind of man who would lot your wife buy your clothes." TO THE MAN WITH AN IDEA. I received recently the following letter from one of my readers: "Being an admirer of your column, and knowing your desire to assist young people, I wish you would ad vise me, and at the same time others in the same boat. 1 have been at my trade for twenty years, have worked for the largest six firms in our line. I am at present with the largest In the country, but the most mismanaged. By applying efficiency to the shop, I know several thousand dollars could be 6aved In the course of a year, by changing the system so that the work would not be rehandled. etc. What I should like to know is to whom I should give my ideas, the foreman (and have him get the credit), or the owner? How should I go about the latter? "Thanking you in advance, I am "Yours truly, "ADMIRER." It is exceedingly difficult to advls unless one is familiar in the premises and is acquainted with both the men and the conditions. In this case, as in many similar ones, I can speak only In a general way. I will assume that the writer of the foregoing letter Is correct when ho says that his factory is mismanaged and will proceed upon that hypothesis. Whether it is or not. it is obvious that improvement would be possible, and that our friend may have Bome practical ideas. I should, however, advise him not to present them unless he Is reasonably sure that they are worthy of consideration. I should suggest that he talk them over with competent and trustworthy friends, if he can, and try them out theoretically, at least, before bringing them to the attention of his em ployer. The question Is, however, whether it Is best to present them through the foreman or direct to the owner of the factory. If the foreman Is a man of integrity, can be trusted, and is fair and square, I should advise our friend to have a frank talk with him, present his ideas to him, and request him to bring them to the attention of tho proprietor, with or without being accompanied by the originator. The foreman can easily obtain an audience, and will be given attention, while the originator, being a mechanic, is not likely to have the same oppor tunity. If, however, the foreman is not to be trusted, our friend should present his ideas directly to the owner or to one of them, either verbally or in writing. In either case, I should suggest that he write out these ideas, retaining a duplicate copy of them, the original to be given to the foreman or to the owner, in connection with a verbal explanation. For his own protection I should fur ther advise him that he acquaint one or two of his trustworthy friends with the facts, so that, should his ideas be appropriated without credit or re muneration for him, he would .have tangible evidence of being their orig inator. If the carrying out of the system suggested required machinery or fix tures of any kind, our friend should protect himself by patent before ac quainting others except reliable friends, with his discovery. SUPERSTITION STILL WITH US Delusions Have Not All Been Done Away With, Despite the Advance in Education. Tho accusation of witchcraft has been made against a Detroit woman. Let none of us go too far in our scof fing. Superstition is dead. It existed in the middle ages, but not any more. So they say. Actually, superstition lives and thrives despifo the fact that a few glaring delusions have been repudi ated by the majority. There is the superstition of legal revenge, the superstition of money getting as a means of being happy, the superstition of race prejudice and class prejudice. These are but a few. The vast mass of them aie so cherished that It Is unwise to name them. The public mind holds many super stitions, and so does the mind of ev ery individual. What are called the dark ages are BOO years behind. Who can guess how many of our illusions will have been scorned and cast aside 500 years hence? Detroit News. Just go on and wear your hair as 5ou will. In any way most becoming to you. for the goddess of fashion will nod Indifferent approval on anything. For some months this capricious deity has refused to be Interested In hair dressing styles. She did sit up and take notice when the bobbed coiffure made its debut. It was so novel and so different, no one could help notic ing. It is a lovely style for youthful faces. A few young women were willing to go the length of cutting off "bob bing" the hair at the sides for the sake of the style, but many were not. These very sensible ones achieved a hairdress with the bobbed effect by bringing the hair out over the cheeks and turning the ends under. Tho back hair was disposed of in a flat coil low on the crown, and all held In place by much pinning and by bands of narrow velvet ribbon. Older women have remained faith ful to waved hair combed in a small pompadour and dressed with a knot, rather high on the head. Others, with youthful faces, have been most suc cessful with hair unwaved but pinned into becoming lines about the face. It is drawn back and twisted into a knot which supports Inrgo ornamental shell pins. An example of this stylo, with everything to recommend it, is pictured here. This is the manner of arranging tho hair about the face which Is favored by the majority of women. Tho disposition of the hair at the back i3 only governed by the choice and taste of the Individual. Use Jersey Cloth. Jersey cloth is used for the middy sweater of silk or silk fiber. This is the only sweater now used that slipa on and off over the head. It has white sailor collar and cuffs, and Is laced through four or five holes at the front with silk cord. It is especially attrac tive for very young girls. Shawl Coats. There are some Interesting Import ed coats made of big shawls or steam er rugs, with fringe around the bot tom and edging the cape section that falls over the sleeves, or sometimes edging the wide collar instead. Pretty Undermuslins of Sheer Materials iu 'sv: . ; ' q'- ul l $ t , i x . lwf? J v v rJ Modern Improvements. "Maria." said Farmer Topsoll, "them city boarders is due here to morrow." "Yes. Hiram." "Better put away th' phonygraft an' th planner player, an tell th' hired man ter keep th autymobile locked up in th' garage. We've got ter make this place look as rooral as possible, or them folks won't think they're get tin their money's worth." Kmbroideries for women's under garmentsthe sorts that are soltf by the yard have grown more and more sheer until now one must look twice to discover whether some of them are of silk chiffon or of ewiss. vine weaves In voile have proven to be prac tical as a background for dainty em broidery patterns to be used in under wear because their wearing qualities are equal to those of the materials used in the body of the garments. In fact a good quality of sheer cotton voile embroidery will outwear the nainsook or muslin which It trims. Speaking of sheer materials in un dergarments, it la not to be over looked that chiffon end fine crepes tome In for much consideration In the more expensive and less practical frivolities that are so enticingly pret ty. Fettlcoats to be worn with neg ligees, underbodlces for wear with thin blouses, and even less conspicu ous garments are made of these fragile fabrics. But enticingly pretty garments are also made of fine cottons that emerge from the tub as fcood as new. The envelope chemise shown in the pic ture given here- bears witness to this. It Is made in the empire style and is the simplest thing to put together. The short "baby" waist is merely al ternating strips of val insertion and swiss embroidery, with edges whipped together. Under the arms the. em broidery strips are omitted because at this point of most wear the lace is more desirable. 'Hie short waist Is finished at the bottom with a narrow open beading which Joins It to the skirt portion of the chemise. The neck and armhos are edged with val lace, set on about the neck with a very narrow beading. Lingerie ribbon is run in the head ings. It Is to be tied in full bows when the garment Is adjusted. The bottom of the chemise is lengthened at the back, cut Into a tab and finished with lace edging. Two buttonholes are worked In the tab and fasten oyer small, flat pearl buttons that are sewed to the front. This adjustmeui of the rhemlse gives its name of "the envelope," and keeps It from bunching up snout the figurt when its wearer walks much. JULIA ROTTOMLEY.
