-4 Leer to a Heedless Stenographer
By a Candid Friend.
The Girl lo Whom This Letter Is Written Is a Jolly. Happy-go-lucky
Little Stenographer, But Very Careless in the Spending of
Her Hard-earned Dollars.
My Dear Lillian I have Just received
your letter, asking if I would lend you
$5 until yournext payday, as you aro
"almost broke, and have a partloulnr
reason for wanUng a little extra monoy
Juat now."
You do not say anything about return
ing the $10 Z lent you last month, nor do
you make rash promises about repaying
this sum; you merely a ay, "Please send
It by return mall, and I will be grateful
forever."
I send the check herewith, but I can
not help wondering to myeelf why you
nro nearly "broke," and where nil your
money rocs. For you ought to bo
better oft thnn my other bachelor girl
friends, because you have an allowance
from home In nddltlon to your $12 a week
salary, whereas many of them are not
only "on tholr own," but are helping to
keep a mother or an Invalid slater, aa
well as keeping themselves.
Where does you money go? I think I
can mako a pretty good guess! OTou 9.
I have known you for some time, and
studied your character closely.)
Moat of It Is wasted. It goes and you
have nothing to show for It.- Thla is the
sort of thing which happens: You set
out one payday to buy a plain blue serge
suit You know exactly the style of
thing you want, and you have only Juat
enough money to pay for It But on the
way to tha store, a pair of earrings
catches your eye. They are cheap things
of the "braes and glass" type. But the
card declares they are "equal to real
emeralds, and set In double-washed
Chinese gold," whatever that may be,
and after gazing at them for soma time,
you decide they will look very nice in
your pretty ears, and so you go In and
buy them. Then on the counter you
notice a protty hatpin, also set with
"emeralds" so you buy that as well.
Then some cute little green bows for
the neck tempt you, and a bright green
girdle, with a tiny handkerchief bag to
jinntch, and what could be more fitting
than some tiny silk handkerchiefs of ex
actly the same shade? "It will make mr
blue serge look 00 smart, all these
touches of bright color!" you murmur
complacently.
But. alas! when you reach the store
where the suit Is to be bought, you dis
cover to your horror that you are nearly
$3 short of the required sum. So you
have to wait for your new and fashion
able suit, and go on wearing the old red
dress whloh you are heartily sick of, and
which "sweara" horribly at those bright
green ornaments you have bought!
But even then you have not learnt
xperienoel Although you bare not
enough money left for the blue serge, you
have plenty to get the shoes. and stock
ings which you need so badly. But you
buy horribly oheap footgear, with a so
called "fashionable" cut. Instead of sen
sible shoes made of good leather in a
sensible way. And you buy one pair of
silk stockings instead of three pairs made
of thicker and less expensive material
than silk. When all your money is spent
you have nothing useful to show for It.
You, always seem to me to be dressed In
odds and ends, or aa If you were arrayed
for a fancy dress ball, where you were
representing "Samples."
And don't you think you spend rather
a large proportion of your moderate sal
ary cm what you can toilet necesstUea
moat of which are not necessities at all?
What about that tooth powder at 3 a
pound? And that complexion cream at
rt-M a pot. and the liquid rouge and the
expensive halrwash? The beat aids to
beauty are the cheapest. Common sense
rather than money 'should be used over
beauty culture. The much-advertised,
overpriced toilet articles are generally
simple, old-fashioned remedies disguised
under very grand names. Let the wealthy
lady of fashion buy them If she pleases,
but the wist little stenographer keeps her
money in her purse.
Neither will she allow herself to be
tempted by all sorts of Idle little fash
ions which come into vogue for a few
weeks, and then die out.
No doubt you like to be the first In the
offloe to sport the newest kind of tie or
girdle, No matter whether a fashion is
a beoomlng one or not. Ilka the boy In the
soap advertisement, "You won't be happy
UU ytra get ltl"
I know, Lilian, tbat it Is the habit of
many critics on. women's dress to com
mend this buying of little trifles. They
teach tbat a smart girdle or a lace collar
will bring an old gown "up to date."
Sometimes they do, of course, but more
often they do nott And If you happen to
keep accounts, and look over your bills,
you will be surprised to And how many
dollars these seemingly inexpensive trifles
run away with.
I writs with soma exptrtesa. on this
matter, for I remember one year when
poverty prevented me buying anything
at all for personal adornment. Every
quarter X earned had to be spent on food
and lodgings. Even a yard of ribbon or
n box of face powder was beyond my
means. Luckily, I had a good supply of
suits, plain hats and underclothes: end
two or three tittle bits of real lace, ao
I was still respectable, If shabby, at the

To Get a High
Speed in Shorthand
A Stenographer Writes
T havo found that when taking dlo
tatlon apeed may be obtained by writing
only half-way across tho pago, thus
making two columns of the writing."
This stenographer has mads the same
discovery that n number of fast writers
have made. Some operators even go so
far aa to take the "wide" 6-lnch note
book and have It cut In two through
tha centre, leaving two 8-Inch books. The
secret of the added speed is In tha fact
that an entire line of the smaller book
may be written from a Blngle position of
tho hand. Tho fact that tho hand shifts
down a lino twice aa often does not im
pair the time saving, since most speedy
stenographers pull (,tho sheet up a line
with the left hand while writing with
the right. Instead of dropping the right
hand a lino further down the page. Thus,
with the shorthand book, tho writing hand
never really moves from Its first position.
Novel-reading in
Office
He
ours
"Jane has a dandy position In that of
fice of hers!" cried a little typist envi
ously the other dny. "She reads her
novel and eats candy half the time! I
went to see her the other day and I
had to speak to her twice before she
heard me. She was sltUng with her
feet up, as comfortable as possible, read
ing the exciting. new story In the Satur
day Evening Post and chewing away at
oandyl dee! I do envy horl Her job's
a clnohl"
A week later, when "Jane" was sud
denly dismissed by her employer, tbe lit
tle envious typist did not feel that her
friend's lot was so wonderful after aU!
For, through her own Indolence and fool
ish neglect of her employer's Interests,
the foolish "Jane" has lost her jobl
This has happened to more stenogra
phers than the ono mentioned above. Girls
should take warning In time, then, and
remember that the employer's interests
are generally Identical with their own.
Forgetfulness of this important fact gen
erally leads to failure and ultimate dls
missaL Don'ts for Stenographers
Don't idle during business hours, but
throw yourself heart and soul Into your
work.
Don't gaze out of the -window and pon
der on that new hat you were wanting
to buy.
Don't bring out the little pocket mirror
of yours and powder your nose contiau
oualy In office hours,
Don't write personal letters to your
friends and steal your employer's time
by so dolnr.
Dent be constantly fixing ttiat new tit
tle curt above your ear when you should
be typing your employer's letters.
Hints for Typists
Jn addressing envelopes, never write
the name of the town sad the Btato eo
the same lint. Always use a separate
line for the etate. This helps tha sorter)
at the poatofllce and thus facilitates the
quick delivery of the Utter, which Is
what your employer wants.
When erasing, use a pencil eraser first
and then finish with a typewriter eraser.
This makes a very dean erasure, for tbe
pencil eraser takes off the first coat
Very neatly.
Paste a piece of coarse paper in the front
of your notebook, and use It to gnarpen:
your peaell point when they beoom

A GRACEFUL LITTLE HOU8E FROCK OF SOFT SILK
MODES OF
Blouses there are, of all sorts and
kinds and materials, nnd blouses there
must be for the coat suits. But the
frook of silk or French serge Increases
in popularity, and now that almost every
one owns a top coat, ono can go from
the house to the street without making
a change of the house gown to the
street gown.
There are many pretty models for the
one-piece frock, or for the dress tbat is
separate as to bodice and skirt. And
although the basque in its severe form
had but short shrift, there are lingering
traces to be seen In gowns of the moat
recent design.
Tho surplice bodice, with a natural
ending at tho waist, or with prolonged
ends that cross and fasten at the back,
Is stilt a favorite, and a very pretty frock
of this stylo is illustrated today.
The ends aro draped about the waist
and tied In a flat, formal bow at the back,
as tho model's pose before the mirror
shows.
Tho skirt looks as If lt hod reposed on
the shelf for Six or eoven years, for there
is nothing new, nothing especially of to
day In Its style. The shirring and cord
ing aro old, but they ore always pretty
and make a graceful, full eklrt.
This frock is one that might be mado
at homo with very little trouble. Even
among the so-called modern women, of
We'll Get on
the Brighter Side
Toll In the cities, and till the ground;
The world is green and wide.
And some of these days, when the world
turns round,
We'll get on the brighter side!
Sow and reap, and work, and weep
Fur the blessings that are denied;
And some of these days, in the morn
ing's rays.
We'll get on the brighter side.
Some of these days, in the thorny ways
Win the lilies of joy abide;
Tha birds will sing, and the bells will
ring,
And we'll get on the brighter aide.
Then toll In the cities, and till the ground,
Whatever may be denied)
For some of these days, when the world
turns round,
We'll get on the brighter side!

Fig Bars
This Is another candy that is very easy
to make, and It Is wholesome besides. To
make it, boll a cupfal of milk, a pound
of maple sugar and a pinch of cream
of tartar slowly for 10 minutes. Then
add a teaspoontul of lemon extract and
a cupful and a quarter of chopped figs.
Boll lt up once more and pour Into a but
tered dish. When It Is cool cut Into bars

THE HOUR
the feminist, suffragette type, there nre
oomo who own scrap bags, although lt is
more likely to bo a scrap drawer.
Tho collar and cuffs of the frock oould
bo made from a scrap of white Bilk nnd a
loose end of fur, without expense at the
moment.
Marabou, swansdown and ostrich feath
er trimming are all good substitutes for
fur banding, and they ore all In excel
lent style.
The greatest possible mistake that the
girl of few frocks con make Is to choose
a model with a pronounced cut and strik
ing details that are too obvious to have
nny lasting quality of style.
The next mistake Is to choose the wrong
color. Americans aro said to bo less
sensitive to or less appreciative of color
than the nations of an older civilization.
It Is quite possible that they are less In
the habit of analyzing their feelings.
Occasionally a woman has a gown that
she never tiros of, even when lt shows
unmistakable signs of wear and tear.
An artist could tell her lt Is because
the color satisfies her, because lt la the
right color for her to wear.
Blade can be worn by women who are
old or young, but rarely by tho woman
at the age now designated as "danger
ous." At that ago a woman needs every
help that becoming color con give her.
Not until age has whitened hef hair or
softened her face should she wear black.
Tho Indeterminate shades of colors are
the ones to chooso then tho violets, soft
blues, dull pinks of the ashes of roses
kind tho shades, In fact, that are off the
real prtsmatlo color.
A Dilemma
"Mercy I We've waited 80 minutes and

"Ilours, I should say," be returned, none
too sweetly.
"Ours?" she cried rapturously. "Oh,
Will, this is so unexpeotedl" Then she
fell upon his neck.
Popcorn Balls
Boll together a cupful of molasses and
a tablcspoenful of vinegar until lt cracks
when put Into cold water. Have ready
freshly popped corn, which haa been freed
of all partly cooked or harsh partlolea.
Pour the molasses over the corn and as
soon as it Is cool enough to handle form

Ellen Adair's Letters to
"The Girl Who Works"
Based upon 'investigation and an in
timate knowledge of the girl wage
earner's struggles, Ellen Adair has
written a series of personal articles
to help girl workers get the most out
of their lives,
These letters appear, with many sug

We see here that the amount of pro
tein (the moat valuable element) In both
cod and beef, herring and round steak,
mackerel and mutton chops are about
the same, Tho amount of fat Is greater
In the meals, but As much of it is wasted
tn cooking or is trimmed. It does not
make up for the great dlfferenoe In the
amount of cost between salt fish and
fresh meat We can then add tho group
of salt and smoked fish to our low cost
diet, being euro thnt on ample dish of
any salt fish rightly oooked will glvo our
body as much nutriment a meat
Perhaps ono reason wo do not use such
fish more Is because we are not familiar
and skilled In their cooking. A fish soup
teems a delicacy capable of being manipu
lated only by a Japaneso or a Scandi
navian. Dut most attractive dishes can
bo made of tho ealt fish if wo take a
little pains In tho soaking, in the picking
npnrt and seasoning. Dried flsh, a. good
bread, nnd fruit may seem like the diet
of an ascetic, but It offers all tha needs
of n plenteous meal.
Most of tho dried nshcrt like cod, had
dlo (haddock) nnd mackerel yield best
to the sourtle or creamed forms of cook
ing, slnco they are so doflclcnt In fat
and starch that we must build up our
meal with these other elements, os that

and quality to the meal. Let us once

to whom dried flsh Is an Indispensable

Be Brave
Some people are so reserved that they
cannot speak of their sorrows, and In tho
stress of our own wo must try not to add
our griefs to theirs. "Be brave your
selves, and that will help others to bo
brave."
And though you may have worries,
don't lot them obsess you. Don't Imag
ine thnt you ought to think about them,
brood over them, every waking hour.
That's bad for you and does nobody
else n scrap of good. Give yoursolf a
rest from your worries when you can.
Fnco trouble yes. Face it bravely
when lt comes. Dut don't think you must
seek lt out and grapplo with lt Inces
santly In your mind. Tako a rest from,
It when you can, nnd rise refreshed.
