Chorus Girl Looks Wrong While on Job BY MARTHA LEE The two key words to good breeding are “restraint” and “discrimination.” The cultivation of these two qualities could insure, as much as anything in the world can, a gratifying ability to meet any situation as a gentlewoman or gentleman would meet it. They are two qualities that an employer looks for first in a prospective v/orker. Restraint means a capability to control temper under trying circumstances. It means a tendency toward moderation in disposition and attitude.. It assures a handling of questions. nun Discrimination means a knowledge of how to cope with persons of different types. It will put the finishing touch upon a person’s worth to his employer. It certainly is restraint and discrimination, a knowledge of what is right and when, that causes a girl to keep from painting herself up like a lighthouse during working i hours, and from wearing loud colored, sleeveless dresses at work. It is a knowledge of what is bad taste that keeps her from decking herself with bracelets, earrings and fol-de-rols during the time she is working. She is an employe. When she hasn’t that good sense of restraint and discrimination, regardless of how capable she may be, she can never get very far in the business world. No man wants to have his business associates think he has taken some girl from a chorus, given her a job and set her down at a typewriter, as an eye strain reliever. I have the following letter from a girl whom I am sure is off on the wrong track: Dear Miss Lee: I have completed" a business course and am a capable stenographer and secretary. I have been out for about two months looking for a Job and do not seem to have much luck. I have had Jobs, but they have been fill-ins. I am nice looking and a good dresser, besides being a good typist. I have a nice disposition, not hard to get along with. I had so hoped to get into an office so that X might meet the type of men I would like to go around with. What do you suppose is wrong? HELEN.

I MAKING HOMES BEAUTIFUL Choose Rugs and Carpets With
Room Harmony in Mind
The rug here harmonizes with the room setting.
Editor’s Note—This is the seventh of ’a series of articles written for The Times and NEA Service by William H. Wilson, vice-president of the American Furniture Mart, and an acknowledged authority on interior decoration and period furniture. BY WILLIAM H. WILSON Carpets and rugs form the transition from walls to furniture in a room. As the group of rooms adjoining each other must harmonize without a single jarring note, so must the floor coverings inside the smaller unit. They must hold the room together and make it an ensemble rather than a display of isolated groups of furniture. Rugs and carpets must be chosen to soften the texture of the floor and walls, and to soften the floors to the tread of the feet. Form and color should conform to the spirit of the room. For instance: Hooked rugs fit the colonial atmosphere, where a Chinese rug would be out of place. Restful, not restive carpets belong in the bedroom. Like the drapes and the finish of the walls and woodwork, they should contain just enough color to frame the picture—or make a pleasant background. But weak, insipid colors are just as deadly as too gaudy tones. The motif or ornamental figures in the floor covering should conform to the lines of the room, and care should be taken that the realistic and the allegorical are not combined in the same rug or carpet. If the furniture is curved, the figure in the carpeting should be the same. Many modem homes have adopted the effective scheme of carpeting the entire floor of adjoining rooms in the same material. If rugs are to be used effectively, the floors must be polished to a soft glow, and kept that way.

Axxninster carpets of plain shades, entirely devoid of design except for little landscapes, have achieved a recent vogue in England and will soon appear in this country. If the colors are chosen wisely, the vivid, landscapes will stand out nicely against the drab background. For the modem rooom, Chinese rugs and Wiltons with such motifs as vari-colored geometrical figures are apropriate, with canary yellow, sapphire blue and turkey red the popular colors.

Praise for Fanatics of This World BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON , Would we ever get much done, I wonder, without our fanatics and the reporters who so beautifully color up their behavior? In spite of our gibes at them, and if we told the truth, we must needs admit that it is their antics that makes our existence thrilling and give such a lure to our evening newspapers. Here is some irate woman in Missouri who, remembering Carrie Nation, walked out one evening with her own little hand ax and smashed up a neighborhood joint which, so she claims, had sold liquor to her husband and daughter. In pre-Carrie Nation days, daughter would never have appeared In the story at all. It was always wayward sons who were then being saved. Asa matter of cold fact, Carrie did not start her rampages by hacking the furniture. What first fired her anger was the knowledge that a life-size painting of a nude woman graced the walls of a saloon in her home town, and she began her'career by slashing it from its frame. But the story sounded so interesting that before the reporters had done with it, the bar, the room fixtures and even men’s head had all felt the blows of her hatchet. And Carrie found the publicity so delightful that she promptly took her cut and everybody knows what followed. Though we deplore their onetrack minds and their strange behavior, it is quite true that fanatics have been responsible for a great deal of our progress. St. Paul and Martin Luther were fanatics. Christopher Columbus, Joan of Arc, Oliver Cromwell, Mary Baker Eddy, Anna Howard Snaw, all of these were more or less “queer,” but they changed the thought of nations, Harriet Beecher Stowe had a one-track mind that was partially responsible for freeing a race from slavery. In fact, most great movements are led by those who are the viciimes of one idea and who go up and down the earth preaching it to others. Tolerance is a marvelous attribute, and broad-mindedness a veritable gift of the gods, but someway it is the fanatics who get things done. Called to Deco,bur Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hildebrand of the Art-Nor Beauty parlor, have been called to Decatur, 111., by the death of Mrs. Hildebrand’s mother, Mrs. William H. Booker.
