I never really believed thnt 1 was cut
out to be iin artist. -I really had no
anihltton anil dreamed no vision. 1
believed that the world was filled with
talent and young people far more gifted
than 1 was, and with all the reluctance
of youth I refused to come to New York
and study. My undo proposed taking
me to New York, and I went. lured by
the prospec t of a winter In the gay
metropolis, rather than by arty gnat
urge toward artistic development. '
I thought I would learn to do faah
vlons and I began my work In a small
class in the Gibson studios. After thst
I spent some time etching under Mlelati
and consider that experience the finest
drill that I can remember. I really
had no sudden awakening to what I
wanted to do.
One thing logically followed another
and I finally decided to go to Palis be
cause It seemed to me the thing to do.
That was after I had derided that I
might do more 'with my art than illus
trate. I think that my real discovery of my
self was through encouragement. I sent
some pictures to the Salon with no great
belief that they would be. hung, and
almost before I knew It they were recog
nized. I believe that the smallest piece
of encouragement bulks large In the life
of any woman, and I know that I
struggled to be worthy of any notice the
authorities took of my work. My little
successes always helped toward larger
ones.
My standard of work la one that any
woman in any walk of life may easily
follow, t worked hard, using my own
: opinion as a standard. I never worked
for what the people wanted. I was sin
cere In my efforts and tried to express
myself rather than to work for the pub
lic at large.
After all. how can a woman show spe
cified talent in any one thing unless she
Is willing to be sftieere and work from
within, and not from without?
1 have always believe-i that we never
work hard if we love what we ara doing,
because then work becomes relaxation
and a pleasure. 1 believe that to a great
extent my success hss been fortunate.
That 1. the time is propltlo.is for the
kind of work that I am doing. On sc
cjunt of th's tetrlble war. the people
in a body are turning to the llgl.ter thing
that spell beauty and pleasure. And I
am trying to express beauty In my own
way.
I know that a woman may recognise
her talent and follow It If she applies
hrsclf earnestly at the thing that hap
pens to present an opening. T.iat la, 1
knew that I could do a certain thing
better than I could anything cl.e, even If
I could not do It well, and so I worked
along those lines.
I always refused to be blue about my
failures. No one has ever reached sua
cess without many failures and come
backs. But I did cling to every small
tr'umph as a stepping stone, and when
things seemed darkest I always tried to
remember that the rung In the ladder
that I had reached through my latest
piece of success I need not reltnqu'sh
for a temporary failure. That is the only
way to work up, and if one Is really sin
cere it is Impossible to fall.
My advice to all young artists la work,
application, sincerity and personality.
Never try to express what you cannot
feel; never try to set up a false standard,
but Judge your work fairly through the
eyes of your soul.
Follow the call that is in you no mat
ter how faint It will develop as you de
velop and finally become the largest pa'.t
of you. It has been so written In the
stars, and the march of progress makes
it lmp:sslble not to recognize,

A Paying Investment
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
(Copiinht, 191,"), Star company.)
When a.bus'neKs man hears of a sure
Investment which will yield him S per
ent, he does not hesitate long about
puttink' his money into It.
Even a 3 per cent profit he does not
scorn
I can suggest an
investment which
will yield always
S percent and usu
nlly5 if you o into
it thoroughly. The
stock is known as '
politeness. Others
call it considerate
ness. Suppose you
ln st in It for one
week to begin with,
if at thai end of
that t'mo you have
"received no divi
dend, you can tell
me I have adver
tised a worthless
stock.
Begin tomorrow morning at home.
Think of sonio agreeablb thing to say
and do, before you leave the house. Com
pliment your wife on her apiaraneo, or
her goodness, and piaisa the cook. Say
some word ,.to cheer the children or to
make them i,tnrt the day with a laugh.
Jt will be remarkable If you do not re
ceive your first dividend immediately.
Then eontinuo your investment at the
office. Pay a little notice to the elevator
man. Remember his work Is not the
most inspiring in the world, and he must
often think life is monotonous. Try to
give him an idea that he Is a man among
men, and not a more machine. Then try
a smiling "good mcrnlng" in place of a
surly growl on your office boy. If he has
done his work well tell him so, and thank
him. ,
Keep i") this attitude all -day, whoever
you come In contact with practice upon.
All may not appreciate your effort, but
never mind you do not expect to get all
your returns at once.
But you are pretty aure to find the
day seeming less wearisome than many
which have preceded it, and you are
quite certain to feel the home a much
happier place than uaual when you enter
it that evening.
If you do, that should be counted as

on the highway of fate.'1 Maeterlinck.
At the root of every act you perform
and every thought you entertain lives
yourself. Circumstances may warp and
twist you now and then, and necessity
may compel you to acts that are not In
real accord with your nature. But un
derneath such divergencies llvns the real
you. No one else can suffer for your
s!na. No one else can enter Into yoi r
triumphs. Your weskness and your
poer are your own. The underotaml
Ing and sympathy you crave from others
won't change you.
Suppose tragedy comes to you. Sym
pathy may help you bear It. But really
endurable It becomes only when yon
meet It In your own soul and there flsht
the battle of conquering sorrow.
Suppose friends prove false. There are
other friends to be found In the world.
Suppose love falls you. There Is still
the chance of more lasting love. But
when you fall yourself when you fall
from your own Ideals, nothing else csn
take the place of the best self to which
you have not been true. The only thine
to do ia to climb back to your real self.
Failure may curse your every effort.
But you can still hope for success. No
amount of help from others will give
you that success and make It enduring.
You have to win It for yourself and then
it Is yours.
Life may bring you terrible draughts
of sorrow to drink. You may live
through searing hours which courage
cannot console. Sut it remain for you
to decide what your agony shall bring.
It cannot be a destructive force unless
you 1st It be.
Your Inmost desire makes you. The
ambition that leads you, guides you to
the realisation of yourself. You have
It In yourself to decide whether your
life shall be a success or a failure gray
and sad or merry and glad a force for
good or one for evil. No one else can
enter Into your existence and touch the

life is yours. You must meet thst te

As civilization stands today, there could not be a very much

Woman without wealth or protectors is to be pitied. Hers is
a bard life, a sad life, a lonely life, and nearly everywhere men thus

Why the Moon Often Looks Like a Giant Wheel of Fire on the Horizon
For tho morning musicals or matlneo
there is a demi-tailleur of Mack satin,
banded with skunk.
Designed for wear at the morning mus
icales, the restaurant luncheon or the
matinee is a suit of black satin, simple
in Its linen and depending for charm and
approbation on lta beautiful fabric and
rich trimming.
No attemri Is made to decorate the
sklit. whh ik Is a goie model, with swing
ing lines lifted live or more Inches from
the imunii. At the too ther Im shallow
yoke, but this feature Is not In evidence
i until rhe coat is removed.
The latter la much longer than early
eoat models. The bill flare, from waist to
hem, Is emphasised by the band of skunk.
That popular pelt likewise borders the
j closefltling sleeves and contributes the
j funnel collar.
j By way of relieving the severity of the
I coil there is an inset pannel In U shape
crossed by fine satin cords and cord
ornaments that serve as fastenings In
I lieu of the usual buttons.

"What causes the visual slse of the
.vioon to seem larger when the moon Is
near the hortxon than when It la directly
overhead? A claims that refractions of
the rays of light
I has something to
do with it. I claim
that the visual slse
la no larger when
near the horlxon
than when over
head, but that we
are deluded into
hinklng so because
the moon. near
the horlson, seems
farther away and
therefore sh o u 1 d
look smaller than
v hen oveinead and
ostensibly nearer,
so that when we see it as large as when
overhead we are deluded into thinking it
larger." H. t. Benjamin, Brona.
Ordinary refraction ia not the cause of
the illusion, for that really dlmlnluhes
the apparent site of the moon on tho
horlson by decreasing the vlrtleat diam
eter of Its disk without affecting the h irl
sontal diameter. Thus It Is distorted into
an ovel of smaller area than a circle of
tnual (maximum) diameter.
There is another cause which alo
dimln'ahes. slightly, the sixe of the moon
seen on the horizon, and that is thai
the mron Is then actually farther from
ttvj oueeier than when overhead. The
Increase in distance Is about 4.0H0 miles
ha'f the earth's diameter), and this is
one-sixtieth of the moon's mean distance
frcm the earth, sufficient to produce an Birds of prey generally seek their prey
eaaily measureable diminution of angu- I jn the daytime, while beasts of prey seek
rather with an area, (the area of the
surrounding sky), and as the eye again
takes In a space thirty degrees across,
the area of that apace la more than 700
square degrees, while the area of the
moon's disk is only shout one-fifth of
one square degree, or one 35onth of the
area of the circle of sky which the eye
perceives round It. If we give a larger
estimate to the breadth of the eye-view
we ahall have a similar relative result.
Of oourse, the apparent Increase of tho
moon's size on the horlson is not in the
ratio of 2,50 to 0 (the eye Is not de
ceived to that extent), but may be In
the ratio of five or alx to one.
In fact, the apparent size of the moon
i.n the horlson varies greatly at different
limes, and probably as seen by different
person. Some of these variations may
Im subjective I. e., caused by differences
of Impression on the mind.
Genial nally the setting moon, or sun
for the aim ia affected In the same way
appears gigantic, a monstrous circle of
red fire, causing real alarm in the minds
of Ignorant onlookers as well as more or
less perplexity to those who Understand
the general rationale of the phenomenon.
There have ueen Instances in which such
occurrences have led to false fire alarms,
and others In which panicky feellnga of
dread and superstition huve been spread
through a community. In these abnor
mal esses refraction may play a part
which cannot be ascribed to It under ordi
nary circumstances.
Ordinary refraction, as air. ady said.
does not increase the horizontal dlnmeter
of objects near the horlson. But It is well
known that portions of the atmosphere
sometimes experience changes of refrac
tive Index, due to unusual contrasts of
temperature and barometrical pressure,
whereby they are virtually transformed
into enormous lenses or magnifying mir
rors, which produce the most extrordi
nary optical effects and illusions.
I have decently described some of thest
in writing of wonderful mirages. In
such phenomena there is not only an sp
parent displacement of objects which
brings things into s'ght that would oth-
eiwlse be concealed behind hills or below
the eea-horlson, but oftsn, also, a mag
nification, maktng really distant object
loom as if they had suddenly been
brought nearer t the obaerver.
It la no wonder that before scientific
investlgstlon had discovered the causes
of these marvelous appearances they
were everywhere the source of supersti
tious beliefs In demoniac powors inhabit
ing the air, the earth and the aky, and
playing at their will with the forces and
facts of nature. Even yet the explana
tion of many of them la not clear, but
enough is known to ssaure us that there
la none which do not obey some discover
able law of nature.

Yet, In spite of these two causes tend
