My Questions are these: 1) I was born on December 24,' 1 909. What is my lucky day, color, flowert and months? (2) Which do you think the best for a eirl to enter1 teaching or stenography ? I have some inclination for teaching, but tenogTaphy seems eo much easier. (3) I have a rather bad disposition. How can I improve it? Little things irritate me so. I have a rather quick mper and am very stubborn. I try to be pleasant sometimes but it doesn't seem to help any. Wishing success to you and your Corner. Yours sincerely, BOOKWORM, Idaho. You are welcome, (1) For those born in December De-cember Thursfty is said to be their lucky day; February and June the months; flower, gold-enrod gold-enrod ; colors, gold, red and green. (2) This depends io much upon the position you are the better fitted for. If you are diagnosing your ' case of disposition correctly, it would seem that it would eliminnte the thought of teaching, teach-ing, for if there is one position which requires more patience and e weetness to fill successfully, success-fully, than another. It surely is that of teaching. teach-ing. Serving the public in any capacity re-; re-; quires amiability, patience, and a desire to 1 please, to be at all successful. The world in general has little use or regard for the irri-j irri-j table, surly, impatient, unwilling to please , person ; and they always have difficulty in obtaining a position and still more difficulty in retaining it. Now while you are young and habts and disposition may be moulded into the beautiful and lovable, is the time to build a character which will be a blessing to yourself and very one you come In contact with. Time, place, or environment will not overcome traits of character such as you describe, without with-out the desire and effort on your part ; so when I next hear from you I ara sur you will have made the necessary effort and are win ning. (See answer to Dora.) 1 wish you a bright and happy New Year. Cowgirl (Texas ) Idaho t Thanks for your kind words and also youi offer.
