A DEPARTMENT FOR WOMEN
The Need of the Hour Alone
-1 yHAT you need my dear young woman." advise the learned doctor-
Jf man "is to have a Utile time alone TU wager you have no silent
hours in your gay whirling days" and he smiled affectionately
although a trifle reprovingly Into the soft dark eyes of the girl who had
been his patient all the days of her carefree young life.
The dark eyes widened as a curious little expression crept Into them and
their owner looked searchingly at the tall man.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Just what I have said" he replied and then pausing for merely a minute
continued :
"Is there one single hour of any day my dear when you steal away from
the noise and confusion and fun. we will say to rest to relax to take the
tonic of silence of stillness?"
"Well no I can t say-' began the girl hesitatingly.
"No you can't say that you do" he smiled at her again "because you
.don't. You don't know the very first lesson of 'rest' You've never been
taught It; you've never been required to practice It and now you are paying
the penalty. It is shocking that so young a creature you haven't gotten
those pretty feet perfectly clear of the sands of childhood-land yet should
have developed nerves:- Just look at your feet look at your hands."
Her finge were fluttering nervously over the flowers at her belt over
ttier hair over the tassels on her frock. Her feet were beating a nervous
little tattoo against the chair leg.
Her face flushed as she looked at him again.
"Yes I see what you mean I am nervous."
"You do not need medicine my dear and you need no climatic change.
There is nothing wrong with you except that you have forgotten that nature
demands certain things of her children rest repose. You went through
your schooldays like some one on a mad run. When you were not studying
you were crowding every out-of-school minute with frolics of this kind and
that kind. Then came your debut dances house parties card parties char-
itable work everything under the sun you could find to do never a minute
alone never a time for rest or repose. That is what is wrong with you now
my dear. You do not need me nor my professional services. You need what
I am giving you a fatherly lecture that will arouse the splendid common
sense that is yours to the fact that you're burning the candle too fast and
furiously. You need a little time alone away from all these gay glad young
companions of yours. Child you don't know yourself; you haven't taken
the time nor the thought that you should to become acquainted with yourself.
Fun and frolic and activity of mind and body are things we need every one
of us but there is such a thing as overdoing and that should never be done.
We always pay and with heavy interest for overdoing. Now I am not going
to prescribe anything that comes in a bottle and I am not going to prescribe
anything that comes in a box. There Isn't anything in any drug store that
you need. You need a little quiet a little rest a little relaxation a little
"aloneness.' That is what you need most the aloneness. Association with
others is essential if we wish to be happy say normal well-balanced human
beings; but of equal importance Is the hour of quiet when we steal away
from every one else in the world no matter how dear to us they may be.
Our nerves demand this bit of rest our bodies need It our souls need it."
. "I'll try " began the dark-eyed glrL
"I'd rather hear 1 will' my dear" declared the doctor.
"Then" she smiled at him and in that smile was a promise that he knew
would be kept. "I will do as you say learned one and I'll expect lovely
Shining marks for my lovely behavior."
"You'll find them in the brightness of your eyes and the color of your
cneeks and the general feeling of well-
eing that will be yours" he replied
"and you'll find them in the quiet of
your nervous fingers and the repose of
your tired little body."

Home-Town Chances.
By Jessie Roberts.
Here Is another way to make some
money If you are obliged to stay right at
home a way that has proved successful
with one young woman of whom I have
lately heard.
She Is of artistic bent and took a
course In a school of decorative art. In-
tending to set up In one of the large citiea
wan an office and dijplay rooms as then
it looked as though her father would
have plenty of money to give her.
Hut he died leaving hardly anything.
She had to stay and take care of her
mothtr. Also she had to make some sort
of income.
So she became what she called a "con-
sulting decorator."
She had cards printed with her address
an J the above description of her work.
Also a folder telling her qualifications
and offering to go into any home and
consult with the owner ever changes or
improvements that might be made to give
advice on color schemes rugs fittings of
all kinds on period of furniture on the
hanging or buying of pictures on the
furnishing of porches and Hie choosing of
hangings etc.
She mailed these to a selected list.
She also got a friend of hers to give a
tea and invite every one possible to hear
a lecture on interior decoratinK. She
nuiue mis lecture as Interesting
as pos
sible. and illustrated It with slides show-
ing good and bad ways of treating a room
or remodeling an apartment.
This lecture was a success and proved
a good advertisement. Orders began to
come In. She charged fair prices for her
work scheduled to hourlv fees and she
got commissions on materials furniture
etc.. from dealers. Presently she had all
the work she coulij do. She would offer
plans for the simplest possible arrange-
ment or the most elaborate. As she Is
right on the ground she Is able to study
her clients' tastes to work In with what
they have and to please them rather than
herself.
"It is they who live in their homes and
they have a right to their preferences"
she says. "Of course. I try to get them
to choose what will permanently satisfy
them; something thev will grow toward
rather than away from. And I think I've
been successful in that."

with all his might. In fact he laughed
Wren and the other birds think more of him than ever and when they had all got
through laughing they all gathered around Peter and declared that It was high time
that be learned some things about this little neighbor of the air whom he had seen
aver sine he could remember but of whom he knew so little that he could make
such a funny mistake.
"Where did you think Sooty the Swift lives?" asked Jenny Wren cocking her
head and tall in the pert way she has.
"I don't believe I ever bad thought a thing about It" confessed Peter. "If I had
I would have supposed' that he made his home In a hollow tree like Skimmer the
Swallow. Tou see 1 always supposed that Sooty was a Swallow until Johnny
Chuck told me mat ne oian 1 oeiong 10 me onanuw iamuy at all.
eld Johnny Chuck know what he was talking about?"
"I should say he aia: aeciarea enimmer tne swallow. "Do you suppose my
family would admit any one with such a tall as Sooty has? I guess not! We
Swallows are not what you call proud but we like to iuok as well as we can and
for this a good tail Is very Important. Sooty might Just as well have no tail at all.
No sir. he doesn't belong to the Swallow family. If you'll notice he doesn't even
fly like a Swallow."
"Skimmer Is Jealous" whispered Welcome Robin to Winsome Bluebird.
"I'm not any such thing!" snapped Skimmer who had overheard. "I don't have
to be. Sooty may be fast with his wings but I would rather be graceful than
simply fast and if I do say it there are few prettier fliers than the members of the
Swallow family."
"All of which Isn't telling me anything about Sooty and where b. lives" Inter-
rupted Peter who feared that 6klmmer might lose his temper If teased too much.
"If he really and truly went to bed to th. chimney of Farmer Brown's house I
suppose that Is where he lives though It seems to me a mighty funny place for
any 'on. to live."
"It doesn't seem any mora queer to you than It does to the rest of us" spoke
up Jenny Wren "but that Is where Sooty builds his nest and raises his children
I flew over the top of that chimney once and looked down. Of all the black
horrid-looking places I've ever seen that Is the worst. What any one wants to live
th.r. for when there is all the beautiful world outside Is more than I can under-

his taxes are very high hlg Insurance
a great drain and then lie Is not allowed
to rent to people who can pay rent if hla
Eroperty Is on Main street south of Mo-
linney. The article concerns the proposed gaso-
line ordinance. The writer haa rented a
tore at Main and Leeland. where he In-
tends to run an auto accessory store and
tire serviqe company. He will have to
sell people gasoline In order to make them
stop. He can't show his stock unleaa the
fubltc does stop at his place of business
le is willing to make his gasoline stand
as attractive aa can be. It is to hla ad-
vantage to make It attractive.
It would be pwfeotlv within the law to
open a saloon there but the city thinks
that gasoline would be objectionable. They
make you pay for paving Baying that it
will greatly improve your property for
business purposes make you pay for the
paving and then cut off your chance to
rent stores to one of the most profitable
class of tenants. Taxes are very high
if not exorbitant. Where do the taxes
go? I am not trying to register a knock
at the city officers or administration. I
want to get into business and rent some
stores. The oil companies pay their rent.
Most people these days who own" a
great deal of real estate have to live on
their principal if they have any. I do
want to rent stores to people who can
pay rent and If there is any way to evade
this gasoltne ordinance lawfully I will
do it. Respectfully.

at you why then
and then laugh again.
HATEVER happens never get angry
just because you are being laughed
at. Very few folks really enjoy be
ing laughed at but almost everybody likes
to laugh at some one else. So whenever
you are being laughed at just think that
you are some one else and laugh harder
than the rest. That Is what Peter Rabbit
did when all the birds of the Old Orchard
laughed at him for his mistake about Sooty
the Swift. You remember that he saw Sooty
go down the chimney of Farmer Brown's
house and thought something had happened
to Sooty and that he had fallen down that
chimney. That was because he didn't know
anything about Sooty and his ways. 60
when he told it as sad news to his feathered
friends of the Old Orchard they laughed
themselves almost sick.
At first Peter was too mortified to laugh.
He was even inclined to be a wee bit angry.
But In a minute or two he had the good
sense to see how really fanny his mistake
was and to smile a little and Anally to laugh
the hardest of any one.
