The young woman who has the art of looking pleasant and who appears to take a personal interest in the work in hand is the one the customers will seek out. And therefore she becomes valu able in the eyes of her employer. There may be many things in her daily life which might tend toward throwing a shadow of discontent over her, but if she is wise she banishes every trace of it from her face when she crosses the threshold of her place of employment. Even in the best of Dlaees thiners are sure to go wrofig at times, but discour agement should be carefully guarded against. ' Besides the misery such a feeling in flicts is the palsying effect it exerts on every effort. "As long as hope reigns in the heart no exertion seems too great. It is when hope sinks away and despondency takes its place that labor of head or hand lan guishes." It is hard to be found fault with when one is doing her best; hard 'to satisfy a customer, keep her good will and at the same time carry out the arbitrary rules of an employer, who lacks judgment oft times and tact, in the settling of some slight misunderstanding. It is hard, too, to be continually re buked. To be misunderstood and unap preciated makes the world look dark under any sky. The girl in business needs a fund of good nature to endure this without grow ing churlish and sour over it. If she allows herself to brood in secret over it she will in time cultivate a habit of ill-nature, which will alienate all those who held her in esteem. Grievances of that kind soonest per sistently put from one are the soonest mended and forgotten. The-jrirl who is making: her livimr out in the cold, cruel world cannot allow her self the luxury of being over-sensitive. She must strive to be amiable under all conditions, obliging at all times, and to take the censure of her employer with humility and without showing resent ment. The girl in business who has met nii.1 conquered these difficulties has mastered the secrets of success and advancement, j and has sa ed over the rooks Avivhout disaster, which have shipwrecked so m any women who have sought and failed in a business career. WOMEN "WHO LIVE MONOTO NOUS EXISTENCES. By Laura Jean Libbey. There is nothing more hard to endure, more pitiful than a monotonous exist ence. To do the same thing day in and day out, week in and week out. month after month and year after rear, with no variation in the treadmill of dutv. is indeed appalling. The woman soon loses heart who al lows herself to brood over this realiza tion. The only safe way is to nut all thoughts of it bravely from her and trust to dod blindly to work out His own Dlan of deliverance. The women who have to toil for thpir daily bread, ,going to their place of em ployment in -the gray dawn of the early morning, returning when the shadows of night fall over the land, are the ones who feel but too keenly all that is meant by the words, "A Monotonous Life." Indeed, one cannot wonder at it. Thev tell themselves that their lives would be as gladsome as the day was lone if thev could steal away from their work for one brief hour now and then and walk out into God's beautiful sunshine as other women do. Ah, dear Heaven! how thev crave it. long for it. wish in vain' for it! lhese are the women who have just cause for feeling that their lives are dull, gray and monotonous. Kilt for the women tn cnmnlain tVino whose time is their own, who do not have to earn their bread and the roof that covers their head by their own toil, it is certainly shameful. They should change nlace for a week at least with one of their less fortunate sisters, to ever afterward annreeiate their surroundings. When I hear such a woman as this complain that she leads a monotonous existence I cannot even extend her my nitv. Some women sit in the house and brood over the fact that they cannot dress as well as their neighbors: some because they cannot get into society; hosts of others brood over the fact that Heaven has not sent them a lover. All such women will tell von mourn. fully that they live the loneliest kind of j a monotonous life, that their sky is all gray and the future has not one ray of golden sunshine. They are sure of it. Such women nulke their own discon tent. To all women I would earnestly say: 'Do your best to force the refilled rnn have for that hopeless feeling. Try to tninlv only bright thoughts. Talk only with people who look on the hannier side of life. Read only-books or naners that will bring a smile to vour lins instead of a sigh. And as for a lover wait natientlv until it is time for the right one to oome along, which he will do, all in good time, my dears. If the useful bread-winners would till their leisure moments with humorous thoughts, and the idle women with a little useful employment, our hearts would not be touched so often and so deeply with the sad plaints that corns to us of loneiy, monotonous lives.

Points to De Observed by the Bride Reir&raing: Invitations and Her Presents. The fashionable weddingr invitation is a voluminous affair. First, there is the invitation to the ceremonv. en graved on note paper, which is folded once, and with this are inclosed the card for the reception, the card for ad mission to the church and the at home card of the young people, if the time and place of their at homes are de cided on, the exception being that they are not. If the wedding be out of town i is the correct thing t6 inclose also' a memorandum of the trains to take, and if a special car is provided for guests, a card of admission to such car is in closed. Of course, one can and does econo mize by engraving the time and place of the reception upon the invitation sheet, but this is not considered good taste, the correct thing being to have a separate card for each separate thing. If the marriage is private announce ments should be sent to every one who would otherwise have been invited. If these are sent out by the parents of the bride it should be done immediately after the marriage, as she is no longer one of their household after she leaves it with her husband. If the announce ment is later, it should be sent in the name of the ecoiple. If the newly-married pair have decided on a day or days at home, a card for those days is in closed with th announcement. The bride acknowledges her pres ents as soon as possible, using paper with her new monogram. Paper for this purpose with a new seal is usually provided beforehand by the bride groom. A letter of thanks is not neces sary, but the note must 'eontain a few well chosen words in the bride's own handwriting. Cards with a sentence of thanks are not considered "good form."
