44 YOUR PERSONALITY COUNTS FOR MUCH Though the successful business girl must be impersonal in all her business dealings, yet she should take care not to lose her personality. Personality counts. Too many of us allow our personal ambitions, our personal ideals and our individuality to be deadened by "automatic routine." I know of plenty of business girls who are splendid workers, but away from their work are shy, awkward, unresponsive. They add nothing to the home. When they get home they have not enough spirit of originality left to entertain a stranger or amuse a little brother or sister. Do not be content to be the best typewriter in the office; be an attractive, fine-hearted girl as well, whom little children and grownups love and warm to. The best typewriter should be not only the best typewriter; she should carry her success into her home life as well; she should be the best home-maker, the most enthusiastic friend, the most sympathetic oldest sister. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR AMBITIONS. One other sound ideal for the girl who earns her own living is to be ambitious; the resolution to do the very best work possible for the present, but with the ideal of some better future work in view. Never mind that the work you are doing now is not the kind you enjoy; do it thoroughly, and it will be a step toward the future work. Keep hoping for better, for greater opportunities. There are always greater opportunities on the way to us. Our part is only to be eager and ready when they come. The reward of humble work well done is the ability to do higher work better. THE FINEST TYPE OF GIRL. Not all girls have to support themselves, yet I like to think that the finest type of girl is the one who, whether she has to support herself or not, and whether she ever earns a penny or not, chooses and makes it her care to "earn a living." I would not have girls earn money who do not have to earn it; but pennies are not the only thing to be earned in this old world: there are all the joys and blessings of life; all its wonders and beauties and kindnesses to be earned. So with a new and higher meaning let us all earn a living and let us take pride and pleasure in doing so. Some of you write to say. "May I write you about myself?" Yes, certainly. If I can help you I am only very glad to do so. Ladies' Home Journal. SAT IN THE PRESIDENT'S CHAIR. John Abernathy, who was appointed United States Marshal of Oklahoma by President Roosevelt, recently visited the White House, and came pretty near attending a cabinet meeting unawares. In telling of his trip Abernathy is quoted in the New York Times as saying: "A man stepped up and asked me what I wanted, and I told him to just tell the President that Abernathy wanted to see him. "Is this John Abernathy?' asked another man, and when I said I was, he took me by the arm and led me into another room. where around a fine table were seated a number of fine looking men. He told the men present my name and then he left me standing there. I Looking around and seeing only one vacant chair, I sat in that. Then the door opened behind me and two powerful hands slapped me on the shoulder, and looking up recognized President Roosevelt. He grabbed my hand in his and shook it like a brother. Then he laughed and said: "John, you're getting up in the worldoccupying the President's chair at a Cabinet meeting.' "I started to spring out of that chair, but the President just pushed me back into it and laughed. He then excused himself to the other men and took me to another portion of the White House, where he introduced me to Mrs. Roosevelt."

Some waggish student came along and rubbed out the "c" from the word classes. The Professor, reaching home that evening, saw the erasure, chuckled, and promptly erased the letter "1." His students ever afterward had great respect for their teacher! Joseph Chamberlain was the guest of honor at a dinner in an important city. The Mayer presided, and when coffee was being served the Mayor leaned over and touched Mr. Chamberlain, saying, "Shall we let the people enjoy themselves a little longer, or had we better have your speech now?" IN SEARCH OF A COLLAR. Among the prominent men of New England there was none, perhaps, who wore a larger collar than Tom Reed. One hot day in the summer of 1901 Reed was in Portsmouth and having to wait over for a train, he decided to make an impromptu toilette, chang. ing his collar, etc. So he hied himself to the nearest haberdasher's and began a general survey of the collar display in the store. "Waited on, sir?" queried one of the clerks. "Not yet," responded Reed, and then added. "I would like a collar." ,"What size?" piped the clerk. "Size 20," answered Reed. Reed went, and found the third stores above. It was a harness shop. A young man who is blessed with a Scotch kinsman need never fear that he will be allowed to hold too high an opinion of himself. "What do you think of my project to study law?" ask young Witherby of his great uncle, Robert Donaldson, a person whom he was desirous to propitiate. I should call it a very harmless amusement, said Mr. Donaldson dryly after a comprehensive survey of the young man's fatuous face and gay attire, "if not carried too far." It seems as though our Lord intended the parable of the wise and foolish virgins particulary for young girls. The maidens condemned are not wicked, only carelesss, neglectful of duty. Jesus, the gentle, calls them foolish-which, of course, means that to neglect present duty, thoughtlessly trusting to luck for the rewards that come only to those who work for them, is to act like fools. And it is something to ponder that these young girls missed all the pleasure they were anticipating in the wedding festivities. They were shut out. J.
