HERE'S THE PERFECT GIRL
Till* following are the attributes
of the perfect girl, as seen through
Harvard eyes, some fifty bachelor
graduates'having, recently, and aft-
er considerable discussion, agreed
on them for the "girl that's worth
while."
She is attractive, graceful and
healthful, but not necessarily pret-
ty.
She can dress tastefully and en-
tertain anyone and make'hini feel
at ease.
She can make bread as well as
fudge and cake as well as a "rare-
bit."
Jler dajiciug is not necessarily
the latest, her tennis is not neces-
sarily up ti the standard, but she is
appreciative of the dance and of
the sports.
She is broad minded, sympathet-
ic, tactful, unselfish, optimistic,
thrifty, of good disposition and
moderate in all things.
She can stand reverses without
worry.
She is gentle to children and
kind to other people, especially to
her parents.
She has a broad education, but
not necessarily a college one.
She. is modest and true and home
loving.
She has good social standing, is
of a religious nature and is not
''too proud to pray."—From the
Baltimore Sun.

VIRTUES AND-
(Leslie A. Boone)
Someone robbed the sunshine
Of half its golden light.,
Someone took the twinkle
From the stars that once were bright;
Blended these with sunset's sky
For the'subtle changing of your eye.
So'meone robbed the Kirribly
Of the diamonds from their eavse,
Someone stole the spraying whiteness
From the oeean's breaking waves:
Took beapty from the rainbow wreath
And made from these your pearl set
teeth.
Bobbed the rose of all its beauty
For the redness of your cheek.
And .from the "Shepherd's Sunrise"
Stole the first faint, velvet streak:
For the color of your skin
And the matrix of your chin.
Scaled the heights of Mount Olympus
For the fire that burns within you,
Took the strngth from forty rivers
For the will that holds within you:
But forgot to add sweet kindness
To your virtues' excess fineness.

The one thing absolutely neces-
sary to success is the rugged deter-
mination that makes a fellow grit
his teeth, clinch sis fist, and say, " I
'■an because I will." Your place
in the world depneds not upon cir-
cumstances, but upon you. Wheth-
er or not you will attain a high po-
sition in the work of your choice;
whether you will give orders or
only lake them; whether you will
be paid "wages" or "salary"—de-
pends upon your determination.
First, last, and all the time, he wins
that turns a resolute face to the
grim old world of war, and answers
its challenge with an unflinching,
"I can serve my country, and I
will."
The supply of "average" work-
men is usually greater than the
demaiid. That is why even in
times of peace the unskilled live
often in dread of idleness, with its
specters of humiliation and dis-
couragement. The market for un-
trained help grows narrower with
every invention of a labor-saving
machine, and every "examination"
safegaurd adopted by States or em-
ployers. The demand of today is
for trained men and women. Men
and women qualified, not only as
soldiers, but to help manage the
business affairs of commerce and
war. "What can you do?" Ev-
ery office of business and war de-
mands the keeping of books, the
filling in of contracts, and other le-
gal documents, shorthand,typewrit-
ing, or the operating of a telegraph
key. Young man. young woman,
can you do these things that are so
much in demand in these trying
times of war? Say to yourself, "T
will prepare, T will succeed," and
write for catalogue today, asking
for credit plan if necessary. State
confidentially your financial condi-
tion, and the course you are inter-
ested iju. Make the start. Do it
now. Girls, this is your opportu-
nity ; your country needs you; pre-
pare to se rve it honestly and effi-
ciently. Young ladies make the
best of private secretaries. Tyler
