KlemM Ee&deffs0 @is<gsfta?inis The Holiday season is upon us and every one is seeking suggestions for - Christmas remembrances, for this is the first real Christmas we've had for several years. The idea of saving seems to have swept off of the continent just as surely and rapidly as it swept over and people are saving their money to buy all sorts of lovely things. Perhaps in realization of this, perhaps on account of the crowds that have thronged the gift-shops and departments heretofore, gift-carrying stores are appearing almost overnight. These, by the way, are furnished with a goodly store of some perfectly new and attractive moderately priced gems which anyone would welcome for Christmas. Pictures are again coming into their own as acceptable gifts and several of the newer standbys grace the wiudows and walls of many of the shops, some as low as $6.50 in the frames. The florists have come to the realization that even though flow ers will always head the list as the gilt that is most often suitable, unique styles are tacceptable. Have you seen any of the attractive little boutonnieres fixed in paper holders and adorned with chic rib bon bows? No longer do we have to order flowers and search for a I basket to hold them. Upon entering a florist's shop baskets of i flowers are seen here and there and some very attractive ones far below the $5.00 mark. Among the little shops coming to life, is one dealing with Indian novelties, one in odd bits of pottery, a toy shop and even a candy store is showing gift boxes containing perfume and fresh sweets. If you are interested in any of the suggestions above send nie a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I will furnish you with the names of the stores referred to.

KEEP UP TO DATE AND GROW BOTH IN SPIRIT AND BODY Misa Gorden and her daughter read I By KITTY GORDON. Dear Vera: The old-time days when a woman didn't know anything about baseball or politics and only read the society and home cooking departments in the daily newspapers, are dead and buried. Remember this, my dear, and whatever else you do keep right up to-date. The best way to keep up-to-date and to know what's doing and why it's doing is by reading the daily neswapapers. Pay particular attention to the business departments in the paper. Every woman nowadays must be more or less of a business woman. If she is a housewife she has to be a good business woman to make her household money buy the most it is possibly capable in these days of high prices. If she is an office worker she has to be familiar with business ington from January 12 to Januaiy 17 will sail on the same steamer.

HOW TO GET THERE By DOROTHY DIX. The World's Highest Paid Wo man Writer. (Copyright, mi. The Wheekr Sywticata) : . ./> A young woman who is just starting out in business asked a very successful business man the other day if he would point out to her the way to success. "What must a girl do to get on <n a business office?" she asked, "some girls stay put at the same salary and in the same position year after year," she said, "while other girl* climb ui? to private sec retaryships, and to being heads of departments, and places of import ance with good salaries. When I talk It over with the girls they al ways speak of pull and favoritism, and hint at scandals between the boss and the favored one. 1 don't believe this, and what I want to know is what a girl must do in or der to advance herself. What qual ities is it in her that attracts her employer's favorable notice?" ??There is no royal road to suc cess," replied the man. "and this is true of a woman just as much as it is of a. man. There ts no sex in work, and fitne.ss is the only thing 1 that enables a girl to get a good place and hold it. "She must know her job down to the bottom. She must be reliable and dependable, and shc?must have energy and grit and determination. "Aside from the fundamentals of business, however, there are a lot of points that are worth the con sideration of every girl in business because they score for her or against her. "The first of these, is time. The girl who works with he*r eye on the clock never gets to the top of the ladder. In my office, out of the forty girls I employ there are thirty-nine who never get in until the last minute. "The fortieth girl's work is real ly no better than that of several of the other come-iate-and-go-early girla. but I have advanced her over all of their heads. "Another point T would call to the attention of the girls is the ne cessity of working while they work, and giving their whole attention to the'r job. instead of half work ing and using only half of their minds. "A third point that 1 would im plore girls to consider is the neces sity of accuracy, and of establish ing a record of reliability. "Another point that I would call the girls' attention to is the fact Voice (Culture Artistic Singing ^Albert XiP. 3fariw6 STUDIO 1329 G Street Northwest ? ?

Tf she is on the screen she must be familiar with contracts and all that sort of stun. So you see. my dear, how essential it is for a modern woman to be familiar with business operations. Keeping up-to-date keep* one younn. too. people who continually live in the past, who are always reminiscing about the dear old days, rapidly lose interest in the present. And. once having lost interest in the present, one soon comes to feel that the best of life has been-lived. And that means you're getting very, very old in spirit if not in body. Keep up-to-date. It is one of the very best ways to get the utmost j out of life. Your devoted mother. KITTY.

Of course I know a sane, sensible man should not let such little personal peculiarities in his stenographer upset him, but it does, and so I can give no more earnest piece of advice to a girl than this?*o dress herself before she leaves home, and comb her hair and let it go at that until working hours ar?? over. So shall her em ployer arise and call her blessed. "Still another point for girls to consider is the desirability of cul tivating a pleasant manner and looking alive and alert, and inter ested This doesn'tmean giggling, or kidding. or making goo-got eyes, or flirting. Far from it. n means for a girl just to look like she's amiabl? and good natured. and I enjoys her work and is glad she's 1 got a good job.
