' The Business Girl. j (Written f.r The Intermountain Catli- ' olio.) In Society. r.emember: That kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. To be courteous to all and intimate with few, faithful to your friends and charitable to your enemies. That it is a poor brand of honesty , ': that is simply policy. You shouid be pleasant and cheerful : enter into the spirit of the company present: when It's time to' talk, do so; do not be fault-finding; do as the others do. ' You should never flatter: you might I get paid back in the same coin. j That you should not do all the talk- 1 ing: give some one else a chance. j That you should find something -,'lse I to talk about besides your neighbors, I ihf ir faults and foibles; avoid slang. i You must never bring the. affairs of the office into conservation, rood, bad , or indifferent. i When in company be simply a laay; have no side issues of bookkeeper, Mi nographer. etc. That a little self-confidence is a good thing, but people nave been known to eet too much of a good thing". At Home. Do not forget: "To scatter your flowers as you .-o; I You will never go this way again." j I That your mother is your bust friend: j treat her, then, as the dearest, best and I only one. j To lighten her bur Jens in as much, as 1 you can; save her every step possible: I she has made you what you art; show I her that her work and sacrifice have j not been in vain and unappreciated. I That you should nevr be irrit?ble J ;H home; find no fault, even If you have I occasion; mother is doing all things I for your interest; her's is an unselfish love. I To I.e pleasant and cheerful at home: I b-ar your little trials and illnesses in silence; complaining only makes mat- I trs worse, and if you are not as good I as you would like to be. bo an good as j you can be. and you will find after a J . hlle that there Is not enough differ-I differ-I rep to be noticed. To save your kind words and witty j -lories for the home: they are none too I good, and will make home happy and bright. To practlee what you preach. To read these resolutions over about once every week. In Business. I,. T)iinnM 1 Read no lett?rs. books or papers, or I viite personal master during business I hours, unless there Is absolutely noth- 1 lug you can find to do in the interest J of your employer. I Never do anything in his absence I that you would hesitate to do if he v, ere I j 'repent. I Do your work faithfully at all tinier. : I Do not talk about outside affairs in J the office: if the conversation should I commence, do not be the one to prolong 1 Don't forget that your employer is a I shrewd observer, thcuurh he may not j ; look it. I Remember that you arc getting pr.ij t . to work: not to talk. I Do not appear to know more than I your employer: it may not please him, I "; and that is what he is paying you to do. Whatever your employer wills, jet that be yeur law: occasionally you may offer a suggestion, but do so with modesty. j Do not be continually asking ques tions about your work; use your judg-I judg-I merit wherever you can consistently do 1 fo- Forget that you are working nr' f ' HT mini) tlWhiii ipi iiWIt ii !,,.. rrlliii 1 1H8 iUffliiMMffHn iJPi.n-.ilHi-IW.i rt:i,i!WlnjIITi ..iflim ifT'iOHn irTiiffiwiiT1lliiifir iiirlTTtiir 1T TP;irJ money; you should ha--e other ambitions ambi-tions besides that and bear them in mind; do not be waiting for 5 o'clock to come; time should be forgotten if you have the proper inivrest in vour work. JiCt your employer's interests he your interests in everything pertaining to j business: do everything possible to lighten his burdens (or. rather. lake as much responsibility as you consistently can). Whether he appreciates it or not you will find consolation in the thought of "duty well done and a.dajr. well spent." If your employer is cross or irritable do not make it a matter of comment; it is not your affair to persuade him into an amiable mood; that is not in your line of business. Do not forget that while in the oiP.ee your relations are those of employer and employe. Have no confidants; treat all courteously, cour-teously, "share and share alike." Do not be known as a pillar of the church in the way of soliciting people to buy tickets for entertainments, etc. Have no cullers; receive your friends at home after business hours. Always be scrupulously neat and clean in your personal appearance dress, hair, etc. Do not appear too anxious to be cleaning; avoid dusting in the office when there is work to be done, and, after all, you are getting paid to work. Do right; then you need have no care for the opinions rf people, because after all. the man who plays on the violin is a bore to the man with the ilute. Remember that the "only sure way that success is bought is, first, think out your work, and then work out your thought." That the worst kind of Infidelity is that of not being true to one's self. That Ambition is a good dog. but Hard Work is his trainer. Last, but not least: Don't worry: if you have done your work to the best of your ability, you will have t:o cause to fear; your best cannot fail to be appreciated; however, if anything should go wrong, worry will n.vr help it: time will adjust matters, but worry never will, and it is worry that makes a fat churchyard instead of a green Christinas. Pray every day for guidance to clo your work well and faithfully. j Twilight. I Paled the sunset glow is showing O'er -.he lea; Swift the dusky shadows growing O'er the sea Where the tide is slowly creeping High and higher. Far-out surges in it sweeping Nigh and Higher. From across the water darkling O'er the bar Shines the lighthouse beacon, sparkling Like a star. Sweet the breath of meadows .lowing To the sand. Meeting there the sea air blowing To the land. Voices in the tide are singing Low and sweet; Organ notes and clear bells ringing In its beat. Messengers of God seem winging From His light. To the earth a sweet peace bringing With the night. Mary Devereux, in the Boston Transcript. Tran-script. Wear and Tear. It's no encouragement to a woman to sweep and scrub when the conditions are such as to make the difference scarcely discernable. Daily wear and tear must be met by intervals of renewing re-newing to keep up the fresh and tidy appearance of the home, and nowhere does such timely attention effect so much for so little as on the floors. The children jump and slide on them and every piece of furniture must pass over them.- They are tramped over with wet and muddy shoes in bad weather and in spite of every precaution, precau-tion, are made the receptacles of dust and debris that will accumulate from the constant travel to and fro and up ! and down of ever-restless feet. Carpe Diem. (By Daniel J. Donahoe.) With will to do. and heart to dare With soul to honor's chords a-tune, And lo! :he skies are full of June, Xii iir;io.- iuiori oiLM'iiMut; mil. But deaf to honor's angel song. Of coward heart and wavering will, , In every good man gathers ill. And finds In every right some wrong. Be resolute, be brave, be just. And earth her fairest garb shn.il wear, ! Shall make a joy of every care, I And light with gold the very dust. J My Little Boy. (By Annie Q. Murray.) j Upward he looked with his eyes so true. My little boy, decked in his coat of J blue. And he said, "When I am grown up, too, - . I will buy a coat of the rarest hue. And I will hold it, just so, for you." ! Dear liltle boy, with thine eager smile, Thou art eiuiet. oh. a long, long while. Hast thou changed in that changeless isle? Nay thou art waiting, my boy, without with-out guile. Holding for me a garment meanwhile, j From Donahoe's Magazine. In Memory's Garden. There is a garden in the twilight lands Of Memory, where troops of butter-flics butter-flics i I Flutter adown the cypress paths, and j banfh? j Of flowers mysterious droop their j drowsy eyes. There, through the silken hush, come footfalls faint And hurried through the vague parterre; par-terre; and sighs. Whispering of rapture or of sweet com-plaint. com-plaint. j Like ceaseless parle of bees and butterflies. but-terflies. Here, by one lonely pathway, steal I soon. To find the flowerings of the old delight de-light Our hearts together knew, wnen 16! the mooh Turns all the cypress alleys into white. Thomas Walsh. |
