Dress Good Taste Shines in Suitable Proble Office Attire By VIRGtNIA KEITH HE business girl has had SO Many sermons preached at her no wonder she's a bit tired of them! Yet I know three young beginners who lost their positions this last week-in each case on account of a matter of clothes. Girl number one dressed so richly and expensively that it made talk in the office. The other girls didn't like it, and her employers finally decided to part with her as a matter of 3 policy. 11er rings, her lace waists and silken rustle were the direct cause of the little note she found in her pay envelope. The second girl was so untidy that she became a blot on the landscape. The same old ink stain staid day after day on the front of her shirt waist. Her hair looked always in imminent peril of coming down the next minute. Her fingers had the appearance of being total strangers to the manicure. The rim of black around their edge so fasci nated her employer, he declared afterwards, he couldn't keep his mind on the letters when dictating. So she was paid for an extra week-and departed. The third girl'was scrupulousiv tidy and her clothes were not expen sive. She chose their delicate fabrics rushing from one counter to another at lunch hour, and made them up herself -in the evenings. But the perishable pinks and blues and lavenders that would have been so charm ing at an evening party caused consternation in the office. She had made the fatal blunder of mistaking the office for the home. From all of which it appears that the business girl cannot be too careful in her choice of clothes. The best dressed girl in the office is the one whose apparel best com bines the cardinal principles, freshness, becomingness and serviceability. The fabrics may be as good as her purse can buy, the colors as blithely pretty as she desires, but not so delicate that the slightest touch leaves a smudge. And take thought, too, of rainy days and dusty car seats ar6 uncertain laundresses, Dark colors are generally the best. Good taste never shines out so brightly as from suit able office attire. The girl who can keep her office rig simple and smart and with pretty touches of individ ality, even without the aid of a fat pocketbook, is the girl who is going to be noted for looking well any where. But not frills and furbelows, please. If I had a boy who had no particular sent of genius for any specific calling, I M~1uch would as soon see him enlist in the regular army of the United States as to take up any other line of work.

He may become proficient in a dozen auxiliary branches, any one of which will bring promotion in rank with better pay, and there will always be superior officers to teach the aspiring one and hold out a help ing hand. I have no assignment of getting recruits for our army, but I am positiv- that there are thousands of sple'ndid young Americans who would be better off in the ranks rather than in trying to fit themselves for some of the learned professions and who would be glad to don the uniform if: they were only: cognizant of the advantages that the army in reality has to offer.

April 30 has been set aside this year as "Tuberculosis Day," and will be ob served In a manner similar to that of "Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910, when 40,000 sermons were preached on the prevention of tuberculosis. It the first official announcement of the Occasion, made by the national asso ciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the movement state that they hope to en list all of the 33,000,000 church mem bers in country. In one respect Tuberculosis day wil differ from Tuberculosis Sunday ol 1910. Instead of requesting the churches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service, the national association is going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and its pre vention can be discussed, be held o Sunday, April 30, or on any other day near that date, either in the weel preceding or the week following, "What we went," says Mr. Living ston Farrand, executive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a report on this movement, "is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis dis cussed in all of the 200,000 churches of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible." ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURE[ "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaking-out on his cheeks, from which a watery sub stance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician, who at once pro nounced the disease eczema. The lit tle fellow was under his treatmeni for about three months. By,the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged, and as I had read the advertisements of Cuticura Remedies and testimonials of a greal many people who had used them witi wonderful success, I dropped the doc tor's treatment, and commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly bet ter. When he was about sever months old all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out it boils which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he musi have been a great sufferer. raring the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment, nothing else, and when twC years old he was the picture of health His complexion was soft and beauti ful, and his head a mass of silky curls I had been afraid that he would -never be well, 'and I feel that I owe a greal deal to the Cuticura Remedies.'

Do not put more thai two or, at the most, three differen1 kinds of flowers in one decoration Arrange your coldrs to form a boli contrast or, better still, a soft har mony.

LESS RUSSIAN The failure of the Northern bank of New York for $8,000,000 and the story of Joseph G. Robin's career in New York is the story of the gold-filled streets of America that lures the am bitious of Europe here. Sixteen years ago he was a penniless Immigrant, with perhaps a half-dozen words of English at his command. For the past year he has had a controlling voice in three'banks, two bonding companies, two real estate development compa nies and two traction roads. A Russian by birth, Robin came to the United States as Joseph Rabino witz. He was about twenty-two years old then, and is now about -thirty eight. He came to this country alone, and he is still single and without rela tives here. A year after Rabinowitz reached America he fixed upon journalism as the profession he meant to follow. For rather less than a month he was a re porter on the Herald, with only broken as his stock in trade: :come Robin and was attracting atten rue, Oom Paul Kruger's commissioner ed States.

Sims of the Unit ed States navy has gotten himself into a lot of trouble after a long and very creditable career. He attended a ban quet in London and made a speech, during the course of which he had the misfortune to "slop over." He was very anxious to impress on the minds of his British hosts the feeling of friendship which exists in the United States, but he went too far and as sured them that: "If ever the time comes that the British empire is menaced by an ex ternal foe she can count on every man. every dollar, every ship and every drop of blood of her kindred across the sea." Now, Uncle Sam thinks a whole lot of John Bull, but he doesn't propose to have every Tom, Dick and Harry making wholesale promises for him. So Commander Sims has been-jacked up. President Taft characterizes the offense as conspicuous and orders that etary of the navy. sident was necessary, because had he xuberant speech other nations would ernational relationships it is necessary oid giving offense. The election of a United States sen ator from Ohio, to succeed Senator Dick, precipitated a lively contest, which ended only with the selection of Atlee Pomerene of-Canton, McKin ley's old town. It is said to have been one of the hottest senatorial canm paigns in the history- of the state. Mr. Pomerene is a lawyer and is forty-seven years old. He is a native of the state, a graduate of Princeton and has been a practicing attorney since 1886. He has held the office of city solicitor and prosecuting attorney and was the most formidable rival of Harmon for the nomination for gover nor. He was forced to accept second place, however, and was elected lieu tenant governor. Mr. Pomerene is married and his wife is one of Ohio's popular and cul tured women, who will no doubt be warmly welcomed to senatorial circles at Washington. 2andidates before the legislature was toria, who had the endorsement of the aderson began life as a bootblack and hill struggle against early limitations.
