WHY SHE LOST HER CHANCE FOR A JOB In a very interesting and practical talk to business girls in the March Woman's Home Companion, the author tells the following story: . “A girl brought to a busy woman of considerable influence the sort of let ter none of us can ignore. This wo man, partner and practical worker in a successful business, had at the mo ment no opening, nor did she happen to know r of one in other offices. But she realized that openings appear on the business horizon without much warning. She made out a list of per sonal and business acquaintances who might make use of such services us the newcomer offered, and told the girl to call on each of these per sons. “Tell them Mrs. Robbins sent you," was her final order. “She did not consider it necessary to inform the girl that in each case she would telephone the parties named and advise them of the girl’s coming. “ ‘I hope you will be fortunate,’ she said in dismissing her caller. ‘Let me hear from you, and if I hear of any IT’S YOUR SMILING SIDE THE GRAY WORLD WANTS (By Ada Patterson.) 7 he world wants your smiling side. Men, women and children are like cleans, for every one of them has a silver lining. That is what the world m nts, not your frowns but your cm’’es. Not the blues of your mood, hut tee gold. A ti :>n who is a dictator of dramatic d'-stinies in this country and in Eu rope said a lad whom he had just en gaged as office boy, “He will get on; he smiles.' The man who himserf h:il Gsen in a few years from the stage vh< t: he joined street parades to ad vert’sc the show, had the smiling ha bit. tie believed that he had in part smiled his way to success, and no doubt he had; at least half of success consists in the co-operation of those who work for and with us, and his “people” address him by his initials, loving him as a father or an elder brother. “He is so considerate and cheerful and he smiles the rough places smooth," is their explanation cf their abiding loyalty. “You can’t afford to be in the dumps You are transformed when you smile,’ was the advice of a world traveler io a distant relative. I missed an attendant from a hair dressing establishment in New York. “Is she ill?” I inquired. “No, she's fired,” responded the proprietor, anil because my silence was full of in quiry, she continued; “ ‘I had to get rid of her because she had the complaining habit. She talked to the customers about her troubles, and they gave her old clothes. I might have corrected that habit, but she had a sour face. In business you must not talk much, hut you must smile a great deal. A letter came to me, requesting the address of a working girl I knew, an honest, cheerful, kindly girl with a s Inning brown thatched head crammed with that really serviceable variety of intellect we cal! common sense. The writer said she had met the girl at a seaside resort and had liked her and wished to continue, their pleasant ac quaintance, but had mislaid her ad dress. She knew that the,girl waited upon me at Jones and Brown's. Would I forward her address? The first thought was to forward the address. The second was to send the letter to the girl and ask her to send the address herself if she wished the writer to have it. That second thought I learned when again the girl was skillfully stuffing my fingers into yielding kid gloves was the better. “I’m so glad you didn't send the ad dress,” she said. “J don’t want to keep tip the acquaintance. I am sure she isn’t good for me. Oh, no, she isn’t a had girl, but she is a sad girl. She had loved a young man very much, and he had left her. She talked about it 1 opening not on the list, I will notify , you at once.’ "She is the type of woman who does not talk nor sympathize nor make un thinking promises. She gets results. “Finally one evening the busy wo man to whom she had carried her orig inal letter of introduction called her on the phone. “ ‘Did you get a chance at that open ing in the accounting department of the Morgan Hardware Company?—” “What opening?” answered the girl ■ blankly. The Morgan Hardware Com pany was among the names on the list 1 which she had not followed up. She i tried to think up an effective excuse, s hut only succeeded in faltering, ‘Why, 1 ■ didn't go there. I thought if you heard ol' anything, you would let me know at once. " ’And I thought,’ explained the busy i woman to friends later, that if a girl • really v anted a position she would fol l low iqi exery suggestion, hut it seems that the girl armed with a letter of in s traduction thinks that it commands a position handed to her on a silver ' platter.’ all the itme. And she used to cry a good deal. , “Now, if I had been able to help the girl I would have done so. But after we’d talked the matter over thorough ly once and I told her he was a rot ter, and she ought to forget him, there was no more for either of us to say. She couldn’t get him back anyway. An! he wasn’t worth it. But she kept or talking about him and her sorrow. And she kept on crying. I used to grab her hand and pull her off the sand * and ask her to run a race with me*. T would duck her head in the surf while . we were bathing. I would pour sand ; in her ears. I even tickled her bare , soles as she lajCoiCthe beach. For : two weeks I worked on that girl -o . make her smile. But I couldn’t. And ; I don’t want to see her again. Thank , you so much for not sending her the • address.’’ 1 The brown-haired girl from whom I i buy gloves is cruel? Not at all She ’ is gifted with keen judgment and a sense of values. She had tendered good advice, it was not followed. She tried to make the girl cast off her i burden of love-sickness, had tried to make her smile, but she had failed. She knew that association with the girl meant being an audience for an ever repeated story, a story that should 1 have been forgotten. She could not help her, and she would not allow the girl to hinder her. The person who will not smile is hopelessly selfish. The person who cannot smile is ready to die. The world demands smiles and by so doing proves itself a master psychologist. It knows that the man who smiles does not take himself too seriously, so is not handicapped by conceit. He is willing and able to learn. The world knows that the woman who smiles is . brave. She will not let her life's hurfs . reach the marrow and the heart's Cbre , The pin pricks and scratches she will forget. There is always something or some , bjdy to smile at, if only yourself. We s re all rather amusing, especially when we feel most serious. We see what re- I lates to our lives so monstrously out of proportion, especially when we are in love Smile even at your love af fairs. Smile now, for surely you will some day.

Eldon, Ho. —"I was troubled with displacement, organic inflammation and female weakness. For two years I could not stand on my feet long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without enduring cutting and drawing pains down my right side which increased once a month. I have been at that time purple in the face and would walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was ner vous, had very little appetite, no ambi tion, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a fr end irv the world. “After I had tried most every fe male remedy first, without success, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E.

J., April 4. —Cor- nelius Kelley, sixty-eight years old, a pioneer of Atlantic City and one of the richest residents of the Chelsea sec tion, caused a stir here to-day by slipping away after the 6 o’clock mass in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church and marrying Miss Anna Cox, twenty-nine years old, a maid in his home. Mr. Kelley believes in sensations. Three years ago 'he startled Carlton Geist, President of the Atlantic City Gas Company, by demanding $68,000 for the old Girard house, a landmark at Michigan and Atlantic avenues. He had learned that the gas company w r anted to build a big office building there. The price was unprecedented for that section. When the company finally agreed to his terms he took the officials off their feet again by want ing all the $68,000 in dollar bills. There was no use demurring, an 1 Geist finally agreed to that, too. It was necessary to go to Philadelphia to get the bills. They were brought here under guard. After the money had been paid over, Kelley hired a passing delivery wagon and had his |tj\vo sons climb aboard with pistols in their hands, piled the stacks of greenbacks aboard and drove to his hank. There flustered clerks worked for hours counting the bills. Kelley took his oldest son, Dennis, into his confidence this morning and had him "stand up” with him at the ceremony. After it was over Denny drove the machine back to his dad s home at No. 10 North Chelsea avenue, and the bridegroom’s two daughters and another son were told of the mar riage. One daughter is older than the bride. Mr. Kelley recently returned from a tour of Ireland. “Absence made his heart grow fonder,’’ for he popped the question to Anne soon after his return He confessed he had fallen in love with her two years ago, when she en tered the service of his family. “Bliggins seems tremendously busy sometimes.” “Yes,” repled the cynical person “He's one of those people who can avoid a great deal of actual work by 'seeming busy.”—Washington Star. A woman is usually so afraid that 'she can't .keep a secret thdt she goes and gets another wonjan to help her. SOCIETY IS BASED UPON ETERNAL MARRIED LOVE (By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.) In the first glamor and rapture of possession, betrothed lovers and newly married people are immune from th ? influence of any third person. The most fascinating woman, the most attractive man, is powerless to awaken more than a passing piatonic interest in husband and wife. Very young lovers believe this con dition will prove eternal, and when it diminishes in any degree—when either one becomes in the least susceptible to the physical or mental charms of an other —they imagine they have reach ed a crisis of misfortune, and that wedded love is dead or dying. Instead they should regard it as the mere rise and fall of the emotional tides. When the sea is at high-water mark, all the pebbles and rocks on the coast are covered; when it ebbs they are revealed, but the tide comes back and covers them again. The pebbles change and the rocks wear away, but the tides are eternal. So, husband and wife should realize that married love is the eternal thing and wait for the fullness of the tides, and not regard mere incidents as trag edies, nor attach undue importance to passing distractions. The magnet ore attracts the par ticle of steel until the steel is charged with the same magnetism—then it does not follow the steel. Yet, left to itself for a period of time, it again is susceptible to the same influence. The thrill goes out of the hand-clasp and the kiss at times, because husband and wife have been so constantly associated. Let a brief separation ensue—and it is found again. Imaginary Affinities. The mistake lies in supposing that it is gone forever, and is rushing forth to seek a new sensation elsewhere, and if found elsewhere, to suppose it means “affinity.” Were I the mother of a young daughter about to he the wife of a man she adored, I should say to he v : “Do not imagine that you will never feel the attraction of any other man when you are married. If you are ,n perfect health and if your mind Is receptive and progressive, you will, as The Americus National Bank Capital $100,000.00 A DESIGNATED DEPOSITORY OF THE UNITED STATES log/i/eybu a Han A account No one was ever able to swim without going into the water.

If men intrusted their wives yvith their bank ac counts, they would find at the end of the month that there was A BIGGER BALANCE in the bank than ever before. Do YOUR banking with US. WE PAY INTEREST ON TIME DEPOSITS WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ACCOUNT SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913 the years pass by, find yourself inter ested in, and stirred by other magnet e masculine personalities. When such an experience comes, give it as little thought as possible. It does not mean that you have ceased to love your i husband, nor that you have found one who could hold your interest longer than he. It means that you chancel to be susceptible to an electric cur rent which can vitalize and strengthen you if made to act upon you mentally, or can be turned into a live wire and bring destruction if you choose to make it so.” To a son I should speak in precisely the same manner, perhaps oftener and with more earnestness —not because men are more tempted than women from within or without, but because they have been allowed so long to be lieve in their privilege to play with temptation. It is useless to deny the fact that life offers no other fascination equai to the attraction of the sexes. It is not strange when we realize that the entire earth is formed and maintained —the vegetable as well as the animal kingdom—by the sex impulse. The only strange thing is that human be ings in this advanced and scientific age consider it a subject to be avoided or a fact to be denied. The woman who proclaims herself absolutely indifferent to men proclaims herself either helplessly phlegmatic or anaemic. She is not normal; neither is the man who cares nothing for—and finds nothing fascinating in—the asso ciation of women. Wise is the wife who says to her self: “My husband will see many wo men who charm and interest him, but he shall be so loved, entertained and trusted by me that he will not want to , wander away.” Wise is the husband who says: “My wife will attract and be attracted by other men, no doubt; but she is loyal and true, and I shall give her such attention and devotion she will not wish herself the wife of any other man.” That there are many such marriages I know, for I again assert that, despite all the hue and cry raised-about mar tial unrest, and despite the frequency of divorce, happy marriages form the base of our social structure.
