Not long ago a girl whom I know startled me by telling me InAl sud had obtained 'a position with the' firm of Blank & bang, aecurawrs Blank & Blank are the Mecea for every girl with business aspirations in our town. There is something about this marble and circassian tried walls and galleries full of jade and copper and brass that spells elegance to the girl just out of busi- ness school. But Marjorie, who announced her job to me, had never been to busi- school. She had graduated from high school a year or so agd and had stayed home, reading and studying music and writing poetry in odd moments. Marjorie laughed as she told me how she got her job. Her eye had caught a unique ad. in the "Female Help Wanted" column. The ad. read: "Do you like Tchaikovsky, and have you read 'Constant Nymph' ? We have a job for you." Many Applied. Marjorie applied. She found a waiting throng of girls. Most of them didn't know whether Tchal- kovsky was a sea food or a new dance step, but the ad, had ap- pealed. The employer corralled them in an office and gave them blanks to fill out with '"my favorite author, my favorite composer, my favorite book, etc." It seems that Marjorie's artistic bent pleased the High Mogul most and she was hired for the position of private secretary. "He told me," said Marjorie, "that any gif with $46 for tuition could take dictation and use a typewriter, but that he had to have a secretary whom he was sure had real taste and a reading background which would make him feel per fectly free in having her meet any- one in his absence and wouldn't cramp his style when he dictated letters. > ' "He said that his last secretary could spell 'received' with the 'eo' first, but that he could never quote even the most commonplace quota- tion without being forced to stop to remind her that quotation marks should. be used. © "He lets me take dictation in long hand now and gives me an hour if I find Marjorie's tale significant of what is being demanded of the ~-- BEAUTIFY IT WITH "DIAMOND DYES" Just Dip to Tint or Boil to Dye Each 15-cent pack- age contains direc- tions so simple any woman can tint soft, delicate shades or dye rich, permanent col- 'ors in lingerie, silks, ribbons, skirts, waists, dresses, coats, stock- ings, sweaters, drap- eries, coverings, hang- ings--everything!

The Editor Hears That the Legion of Honor for Su- zanne Lenglen is being demanded on all sides, both in the Parisian press and among the public, follow- ing her victory over Helen Wills, which comes as the climax of her long reign of tennis ° supremacy. Clement Vautel, writing in Le Jour- nal, says Mlle. Lenglen represents France better than Paul Valery the poet, Mistinguette the actress," or Marshal Foch the soldier, and that the precedent established in giving the red ribbon to Zambelll, chief danseuse of the opera, should be rapidly followed up. M. Vautel adds: "An Englishman told me: 'The two greatest French women are Joan of Arc and Suzanne.' I re- plied: 'You burned the former, but you have not yet beaten the jafter'." That one of the finest reports read from any affiliated society at the annual meeting of the Loeal Council of 'Women was that of the Catholic Women's League. This is one of the societiés to be recently afiiliated and it was the first report heard by the council. The social service end of the work is pafticu- larly fine and of benefit £0 the com- munity at large. The motto of the society "For God and Canada" is similar to that of another afiliated society, the Women's Institute, whose motto is "For God and Coun- try." . That Kingston has now four bad- minton clubs, the Garrison Club, which has been in existence for many years, Queen's Club, compos ed of members of Queen's Univer- sity staff, the Junior Badminton Club whose members are the young folk tonnected with the members of the Garrison Club who Will become members of the senior club later, and the Kingston Club lately organ- ized. The Queen's Club plays in Queen's gymnasium and the other clubs in the armouries. That Toronto recemtly gave a birthday party at the Sherbourne Club in honor of the tenth anniver- sary of the Home and School clubs when a life membership was pre- sented to Mrs. George P. Payne, one of the pioneers, by Dr. A. B. Marty. it is amazing how much has been done in the last tem years by the Home and Schools clubs and it is in- deed fitting {that those who organiz- ed them should be honored, That not many British women are included among those famous people of the past whose centenaries occur during the year 1926, and there are, indeed, only two of any particular note--Mrs. Craik, the novelist, most familiar as the anthor of "John Halifax, Gentleman," and Lady Jane Wilde, the mother of Oscar Wilde, herself a writer of some eminence beth in poetry and prose 'OMEN'S MISSION SOCIETIES. Mark International Day of Prayer On & The International Day of Prayer By a Girl of To-day- Decision. "Don't worry Mother, Dad, about what I've been saying. She's prob- {| ably quite as horrified at it as you are with my action but I want to make it vary emphatic that when 1 marry, it will be to a man of my own choosing." "May I ask then, what you intend to do, young woman?' asked my fa- ther. "You know I'll not brook any- one about my house who defies me as you have done. You certainly know me well enough to kmow that I am the head of my own house." "I certainly do, Dad, but I also know that you cannot own me, even if I am your daughter." "What do you mean by that? Why, even Charles Becker was more amenable to reason than you have been. yg "1 don't blame him, however, for not wanting to marry you. His eye is swelled shut and the color of spoiled meat from the effect of your blow last night. I never thought 1 would be called upon to suffer such humiliation as I did when Charles Becker told me that you had black- ened his eye. You young women have usurped every other foible and even vice that might belong to man and it seems now that you're going in for the fighter." I laughed. It struck me so funny to think of Dad commiserating with Chuck because his daughter had blacked the to realize why I had struck him. However, he seemed suddenly to come to the conclusion that he was talking too much, for he looked at me fiercely as though to intimidate me and said: "Now, young woman, I'm ready to hear from you." ' "Well, in the first place, seeing as how you asked me, 'I'll tell you as well as the rest of the world. I'll not marry Chuck Becker, Nothing you can do or say ¢an make me." "Julia, Julia," interrupted my mother, "Don't you know that no other young men in town will marry. you if Charles Becker tells the story of last night?" "Why not? The fact that Church has a black eye and that I walked home in the rain ought to be proof that I am still--in spite of what Dad thinks and what he has just said-- a decent young woman." I turned to my father impulsively. Here was my chance. "Dad," I said, "you nd I will never see things in the same light. You are of the old order. I am of the new, and I will only be a thorn in your flesh if I try to live in this house longer. Let me go away, Dad. I can take care of myself--" Dad shook his head.
