A WORD TO THE WISE Don’t let your working capital loaf , on the job—put it ifito action- —buy goods that will turn often. ■ ■ ■ . ■ ; ■' Make good nature your business policy. Anybody would rather spend their money with a man who smiles than with one who seems insulted every time he's asked to sell something. Throw in a word of thanks with i every sale. Don't think that just because you give full value thanks are ' unnecessary. People like to trade where their money is appreciated. Nothing does so much against you as doing nothing for yourself. A few good bargain leaders will be j followed by many regular buyers. You'll never have time if you wait for it. Make it! '. In the bright lexicon of business there should be no such word as “tomorrow.” Today is the time to do things; tomorrow the time to dream. Put your heart in your work and you won’t lose it. . The beaten paths lead to the place of the man who keeps his windows well trimmed and his store trout lighted. Cleanliness is next to industry in ‘ I business success. A clean store, clean k clerks and clean stock clean off the , shelves. k Anyone can “keep a store.” It takes k a man with brains to make a store * keep him. J HERE’S A HINT (

Business Dress

THE difference between man’s and woman’s attire in color is largely attributable to the difference in temperament and taste. Men’s dress is grave because they dress in accordance with the requirement of their business, and their clothes for full dress and half dress are quiet, principally that the contrast with that of women should be more apparent. From time immemorial woman has been.garbed in gayer dress than that of man. This is opposite to the nature of the sexes in the bird kingdom, for the male bird’s plumage is more brilliant than that of his mate. Then why docs woman dress more gaily? It is her nature. It is her desire to dress becomingly. It is her wish to dress in a manner more pleasing to her husband, her lover, her friend. It is also a fact that a few of the fair sex who seem to have little desire to please the eye of man will study attractive dress and bright attire. The adage, “Beauty unadorned is adorned the most,” seems a contradiction of but the most beautiful women of the world desire to dress in richest colors and best quality of fabric. Imagine at a grand ball a lady < nl< ring the assemblage in the “sombre colors employed by the male sox, such an effect would seem ridiculaus. A desirable effect is not always produced in gaudy colors alone, but mu~t be combined with materials of exquisite texture. A new and lovely gown often is conducive to the promotion of a chi- rful temperament and in a practical way. a fresh and pretty fr<>ek has suggested an aid to convalescence after a protracted illness. A grout variety of costumes is necessary to the fair six to meet the require:.-nt.? of the many festal and other occasions of the present day. The church, the theater, dinner, dance, motoring, and sports in general, al! r quire special castuming. We have been asked by one of our large papers to design a suitable and becoming costume for young ladies’ baseball college clubs in the brilliant colors of their respective colleges. . ■ * We are unwilling to acquiesce in the report that the society ladies of qur city dress in extremely subdued fashion, for they certainly manifest exceptionally refined taste in the adoption of rich colors and superior fab-

rics. So it seems to us that bright and beautiful colors are rightfully employed by the fair sex on nearly every occasion. «

Working Out Our Own Salvation

By L. H. O’CONNOR

people that the majority of. men do with their money as necessity requires. There, is not much choice for many of us. Philosophy, economics and frugality are all right in their places, but there is no fixed rule by which a dog can be 'made to, wag his tail. He is governed by the occasion whether it’s a tight or a frolic. , I have many times been in the wheat pit on the Chicago board of trade, where IJ>OO then were yelling, clawing each other like wild beasts, when from the edge of the-pit a well known character noted for his keen, shrill voice would cry aloud': “This is a gay life.” Laughter and ridicule sometimes has a quieting effect. Life, if not “gay,” is certainly susceptible of numerous variations. We each have our own individuality. Each is himself alone. He can be no one else. No general rule of conduct applicable alike to all can ever be successfully carried out. When Adam and Eve passed out of Eden beneath the flaming sword they were apprised that the world was all before them. Since then man ip his wanderings has made many discoveries, many secrets of nature he has unlocked, but the greatest of them all remains a mystery, that is, man himself. God does not intend that his kingdom shall be filled with counterfeit presentments. We must work out our own salvation, crystallize, harmonize and purify and do it alone. ‘‘Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; the proper study of mankind is man.” . ■

Problem of Saving ah Personal Letters

By E. P. MELLINGER

llet£, then, arises the dilemma: shall the recipient destroy such a letter, or shall he stow it away, thereby giving himself a chance to reread it, but also rendering it possible that other eyes than those for which it was intended may read it? One type of person solves the question by throwing everything away. As he himself avers, he thus cuts hiniself loose from the riddle. Unfortunately, at the same time he cuts himself loose from a host of ties by which he may bind himself to the past. He surrenders one of the most precious privileges of letter exchanging. The solution by throwing everything away is really no solution at all. That is merely to adopt the method of one who. avoids a sprained ankle by never taking a step, or who avoids trashy novels by not reading at all. 1 Over against him stands the person who never destroys any personal letters. He goes on classifying and preserving, preserving and classifying, until, instead of merely filling odd comers here and there, he fills whole boxes, drawers and trunks. By traditional custom letters find their way to the' attic. They do not always—largely because people cannot afford room for attics nowadays—but they end by filling an unconscionable amount of space somewhere. ,

Bright and Pretty Colors Worn by the Women

By JOHN W. V. BALLARD

And now comes a great writer who says that we are too stingy, that we should spend more money, eat better food, “wear better clothes, pay our friends’ car fare. That such a course is money well invested. Henn* Ward Beecher is reported to have said that a dollar a day was enough for a laboring man. Ingersoll advised young men if they had but a dollar to “spend it like a god.” Every banker will tell us that if we have a dollar we should deposit it with him, and he will make us rich. I wonder if it has ever occurred to these

The line of distinction between letters of business and letters of friendship has become more and more sharply drawn. Broadly speaking, the abrupt business communication of today is not a letter at all. Yet most business letters are preserved for a time. After what is deemed a sufficient period, such letters are destroyed. But the old, old problem of what to do with personal letters still is as perplexing as ever. A private letter from a friend is a bit of that particular friend himself. Not cold paper and ink are inclosed in the envelope, but aspirations, fears, opinions,
