WIIAT A MAN HEADS
SOMEONE has said that' Charles if
Hughes the secretary of stute did
not read novels or verse while he was
at the university and ’that Je was so
absorbed 'in science as to miss all the
poetry and romance of college life
To disprove thls-statenient the li-
brarian of tlm'John- Hay -library at
the recent commencement of ' Brown
university showed In -a glass case the
very books that Mr Hughes had takei
out They Included the regular novel-
ists that everybody Is Supposed to
read and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow
-j j : '
Variety in rending Is Just as neces-
sary as variety in food ' L
Some good people did not under-
stand this when they' objected to nov-
els on principle ns frlvlloug and a
waste of time - ' '
A celebrated man of -science of the
latter part of the Nineteenth century
u$eto find himself losing Interest In
his work every now and then' Wlien-
this took place he would shut himself
up with a great supply Of dime novels
and read nothing else for a week Then
be would go back to his laboratory as
fresh as ever ' ? V
On the other hand a certain French
novelist whenever he found hlmsolf
In need of a mental rest used to read
the Criminal Code
Charles Darwin as he grew older
lost all Interest In poetry but found
recreation- in novels with good lively
plots that held his attention "
1 One reason why detective stories are
so popular with all sorts of readers Is
because they appeal to the lov© of
mystery which Is almost universal
- - - " '
It has been said of Poe that he
would have piade a good detective be-
cause of his gift for fitting together
a - criminal mystery The Idea was
that he would have been able to take
criminal pussies to pieces as well as
put them together' One side of his
work kept him Interested in the other
When a boy Is at school or college
hla reading Is divided Into two 'sorts
“voluntary” and “Involuntary-!' He
reads for pleasure and he reads for
business" " --v
As nobody’s education Is ever fin-
ished the same division Should mark'
later life ' 5 1
" - '
' Mrs Asquith In “ (er celebrated
'Autobiography” telfa how she be-
longed to a sort of society the mem-
bers of which agreed to do an hour's
serious reading every day -Dieter
Johnson said that If a-man
read any subject for an hour dally he-
could not help becoming “learned” His
great difficulty -was that he was
unsystematic - ' 1
By reading certain things for recre-
ation and at the same time following
a course laid down In advance a per-
son gets the additional benefit of dis-
cipline In ' the ' Eighteenth century they
thought nothing of reading through
Homer Virgil -and Shakespeare once
ay ear Ko-wohder they were able to
think in those days

I THE GIRL ON THE JOB §

TRAINING SALESWOMEN
IT WAS a thriving Httle store In a
small village In New England I had
some-chlnts to get and she was a real
help In finding something though the
stock was necessarily limited But she
bad taste and a sense of color and
she was Interested - -
I found that she had graduated that
year from high schqol and gone Into
the store to earn money during ' the
summer and that she meant to go to
the city and try for the position of
snleswoman-ln one of the large depart-
ment stores: She asked me what 1
thought of her chances -
I advised her to go to the higliest-
clnss store of the kind she -wished to
work for I i V W!
“Tnke a lot of pains with your ap-
pearance Remenihr-' thnt you are not
onlyapplylng for tle Job that IS now
open to you when you arc Ignorant
and untrained' but for the Job in the
future when -you have got your train-
ing and when you know your possibili-
ties” i' - - " '
There are splendid opportunities for
saleswomen nowadays It is one of
the big professions now open to women-
But It Ur a difficult one" with
much competition and an almost end-
less amount of training It requires
hard work Rnd natural aptitude I
think the girl I met that day is’ going
to succeed -She had the right idea and
the love for It too ' But don't think
when you hear of the big salaries and
wonderful opportunities In that pro-
fession that you can get these without
deserving them -

HOW DO YOU SAY IT7

Common ' Errors in English sad
How to-Avoid Them "
- “MAD” AND “ANGRY” j'?
- — X : i
FEW words are more frequently mis-
- used than' “mad” an! “angry” It
must be confessed however that there
Is some excuse for the misuse of the
words since many psychologists hold
that It Is difficult ta tell when the emo-
tions of e person fere aroused juqt
where anger endS and madness begins"
But In grammar there Is t sharp dis-
tinction between "angry”-and “mad”
The former tneanr to be vexed or out
of patience while tlie latter "indicates
madness Insanity A person who is
lnsano Is -mad but n person whose
mair Is delayed is not mad but mere-
ly angry There ts a figurative use of
the word "mad”-that la' a use in
which the words' are not to be taken
literally — such as "mad with pain”
“mad with terror" etc 1‘ 'l
“I am mad at that fellow” hays a
man “be cheated me In a stock deal”
Heuihonld' say “I am angry at that
fellow” etc - - “ - i
