GIRLS, LIKE COBBLERS, SHOULD STICK TO THEIR LASTS

Women Have Made Their Greatest Successes by Following Feminine Lines, Martha Lee Tells Reader Who Is Anxious for a Career.' By Martha Lee There’s an old saying that “A shoemaker should stick to his last,” which is one way of saying that we’re wise if we put our energies into what we’re adapted to. In these days of vaunted freedom for women, every road is as free for a girl to follow as it is for a young man.

But the women who make the greatest successes are almost invnrtably those who stick/ t<j feminine lines. That’s because woman’s work In the world Is just as much needed, just as valuable in Its way, as Is man’s work. There are outstanding successes—women who have reached high in the world of hard business, banking or professional lines, of course, but those are women, who, no matter how feminine their exterior, have masculine logic, a man’s ‘‘way of thinking.” Women, unconsciously trained along opposiv.e lines for centuries, instinctively respond to the call for nursing, teaching, cooking, sewing, etc., and success for women Is undoubtedly easier tc find In these more natural fields. Which Career to Choose? JSS’JfXST £o Vars o and have been at home rinoe. I ▼'ant to have flora© sort, of an out Hide carper, but I bard 1 y ** now Yh}tv to d/> I have a strong: streak ff timidity pnd do not boilers that I wouJd be o at horn© in th© business* world but there if* more money in that than in some other fields to whieh I mlffht be more naturally flUl. What do *>fc** f ARARET T . I believe you would make a great mistake to make your choice from the standpoint of which would yield the most money. The person who does the best work In his or her profession la that one who does the work which he likes and is naturally fitted for. As you have not an aggressive personality, teaching, nursing, eto. —some distinctly womanly profession—would be the best choice. Wearisome Married Life Dew Martha bee: I read where so many ask you about marriage. Oh, I think it is the most terrible thing that could happen to a woman 1 I Iwe had thirty years of it. and I should know. My nuflband and t are jUflt opposite in everythin*. He lfl tor running: bill* and lottin* thJmrs no. wpile I am tor taking care of things, hut there ba.™ been months and even years that I nav-e not had a penny to paafl along. Last week he had sio that X told him we would make a lltte Christinas with but he a spent that also. It Is wonderhil what a woman <*an atana. Ive gone through everything unmentto,^^ Cases like yours constitute a good argument for the righteousness of divorce. However, after all these years, there Is little to do, but make the best of things. Forunately marlage Isn’t quite such a wholesale failure as It seems to you. There are many, (many, many happily married folks. Try and not feel sorry for yourself. That makes one suffer more. I’ve necessarily had to leave out of print some of the things you told me In your letter. Be brave and you’ll at least have the consciousness that you've done your best, and that’s worth a lot.

She Ignored Him v Dear Martha Le©*. I b*® 4 J pri^awfivsjyPvisa I Quit going with him and have lrnorwl him every time he has spoken to me. Later I have met a young man. 26 yea™ old. who tells my brother he thinks the world and all of me, hut. I love the first tx>v only and want no company but his. How shall I win him back? p You have probably lost him to the other girl bjf your action which no doubt sprang from hurt pride. Why should you have so resented his having other girl frelnds, espe dally as you were not engaged? Since you have followed your action by refusing to speak to him, you have made the job of reconciliation a difficult one, I fear. As you were the aggressor. I see no way to get his further attention but. by '.‘eating humble pie.” You might frankly tell him that you fed you had been hasty and unkind (If you feel so). He Does Not Propose Hear Martha Lee: I have been going with a young man for a year and seven months. He tells me he loves me. but he has never proposed. I have a sister, lw (two years younger than I am). She nas been going with a young man lust a year and she has a diamond engagement, rlng_ She tells me she would give Jim the aJr if she whs in my place. ____ X told her he was not ready to marry v#t. She says she • not either yet. Din that uhe known nhe wilt be some time and that, her young man friend lovea her. She pays Jim Is taking the best time cfmy life. What shall I do? 1 V] 111 ** *s* probably Hirht. nut I love .Tim and he seems to love me. but does not propose. Do you think It is real love? nmK Your sister Is not far from right, Rose. A girl’s youth and the beauty that goes with youth, are her valuable assets In finding a life partner, as the asinine custom which keeps a woman’s lips sealed under such circumstances as you describe still prevails, she has to use her wits. You might, mention your sister's engagement, bring the conversation into that channel and he may disclose his views on the subject It’s rather a delicate matter to han die, but after this length of time. Jim should at least begin to Indicate something of his intentions, and you have a right to know.

When Faith reached home, she was greeted by her father with the news that Dr. Atkins had put her mother to sleep with a mild bromide, and a not so mild lie. VHe told her Cherry would be home by morning, skfe and sound,” Jim Lane shook Ills head despairingly. "I don’t know what we've deserved to have this trouble fall on us, A reporter has been here and told me the news about Cluny’s death, and a detective has ben here ransacking Cherry’s room and snooping over the whole house.” “Oh, Dad!” Faith took him In her arms as If he had been a forlorn little boy. Instead of a tired out, bewildered father. “If only Cherry had listened to you.”

“They tJjinkTherry done it,” her father quavered. “This will kill your poor mother. I don’t know what tc do, where to turn. Young Pruitt was here,” his voice rose on a slightly hopeful note, “when the reporter chap told me about—about Cherry. And George spoke right up for the Lane family, I can tell you; said tfe and his family would stand by us in our trouble. It’s because he loves you, Faith. He’s a noble young man—” “I know, Dad,” Faith held him tighter. “They don't come any finer than George Purltt. But Dad —I've been wanting to tell you, but was waiting until after —until after today. Bob and I love each other. Dad, and we’ve been engaged for weeks. I tried to release him tonight, but he told the chief of police that we were engaged, that we wanted everyone In town to know that he was on our side, even if it was his uncle who was killed. But I won’t marry him until Cherry is cleared of all suspicion. If she--if anything happens to her, I couldn't let him be disgraced—” “I’m glad we’ve got such good friends,” Jim Lane said heavily. “Dad, you don’t think Cherry did it?” Faith cried. “I don’t know what to think, honey,” he turned his face from her. “You’ve got to believe in her; you’ve got to know she couldn’t do it!” Faith sank to her knees beside him and gripped his gnarled, brown hands. ‘‘For mother’s sake, for

Cherry's sake. The reporters won't give us any peace now. Dad. Don’t you realize that we’ve got to help Cherry by showing in every word and look that we know she couldn’t possibly have done that terrible thing? Cherry has disobeyed you, flouted your authority, but she’s good, Dad, In spite of everything. You will stand by her, Dad?” she pleaded. Jim Lane's tired, dim brown eyes filled slowly with tears, before he answered. "Cherry’s my daughter. Faith. I reckon she can count on her Dad.” Faith kissed him with passionate gratitude, then she asked, "Where’s Junior, Dad? The detectives told him to stay here until he was called for.” It was a few minutes after eleven when Bob Hathaway came to the little house In Myrtle Street, bringing Junior, grim, white-faced, with him. “The coroner will hold his Inquest tomorrow morning at ten, at Uncle Ralph's house. They wen’t remove the—the body until after the Inquest,” Bobtold Faith and her father, “Dr. Murchison—he’s the coroner, you know, told Morehouse that Uncle Ralph had been killed between eight-thirty and a quarter of nine. They may fix the time more definitely tomorrow. I got there a quar

ter to nine, or a minute Or two after and offhand I'd say that It looks as bad for me as It does so anyone else,” he finished lamely, unable yet link Cherry’s name with the crime. "Oh, Bob!” Faith breathed, new terror stamping lines into her rav aged face.

GIFT EXCHANGE IS unfair TO ALL Additional Hints on Christmas Shopping Given by Mrs. McClure Patterson. EDITOR’S NOTE. This is the last of three articles by Mrs. Edtth MrClune-Pattorson, wealthy f-oclety and club woman, who worked as a salesgirl In a New York department store to see the Christmas shopping rush from the working girls viewpoint. By Edith McClure-Patterson Whenever the subject of returned merchandise is mentioned, we think of the hackneyed old joke about the people who took their Christmas presents hack and exchanged them for things they really wanted.

That Joke has drawn plenty of laughs. But in reality It’s no joke at all. It'B certainly no joke to the merchant. who Is forced to give out perfect goods In exchange for second hand articles which he must sell at a marked-down price. It Is not a Joke to the salesgirls, who find their commissions cut by deduction of the returned articles from their sales slipe. It is no Joke to the buyer, either. In the long run the buyer must pay higher prices to make up what the merchant loses on returns. There is another angle to It, too. When you buy, at a reduced price, goods that someone else has returned, you are exposing your family too the possibility of contagion. Who knows what germs the goods may have come In contact with while lying arofind someone else's home for four or five days? Only a Habit It Is up to the woman buyer’s sense of fair play to do away with this habit. For, in most cases, the returning of Christmas gifts Is a habit and nothing more. Speaking of habits; there is another habit that women buyers—and men, too—might well cultivate during the Christmas shopping season and at other times. That Is the habit of always getting a receipt for every article that is purchased. Receipts are always given, In practically every store In the land. Many shoppers, however, make a practice of dropping them, refusing

Shigs Stoway LJ, EXTREME VALUE L FOR YOUR MONEY

to save them on the ground that It isn’t worth the bother. That Is a mistake. Christmas shopping season is a busy one, and a store can make mistakes In its accounts. And if a collector comes to you and demands payment for an article you already paid for—well, if you have a receipt the matter ends right there. Receipt Protects You In addition, the receipt is Invaluable if for any reason the merchandise you have bought is unsatisfactory and must be returned. It is your protection—a check on the honesty and accuracy of the store’s workers —and you should always keep It. One more word—about charge accounts. They’re wonderful things to have, especially at Christmas time, but be careful you don’t say “charge It” too often. It’s easy to buy beyond your means when you do It on credit, and It’s worth remembering that the day of reckoning Is bound to come—all too soon. Buy as carefully as If you were paying cash for everything—and then Christmas won’t leave a bad taste In your mouth when the bills begin to come in. (Copyright, 1926, NBA Service, Inc.)
