M st women act as if they were fatalists what must be , must be. Then they groan when the inevitable occurs instead of living up to the true fatalist spirit of stoicism. Perhaps you are one of the persons who never takes any rest. You look on life as a race to be run , forgetting that the strongest runner goes slow until the finish. Have you the foolish idea that to stop a minute to read the papers or to dip into a famous book is stealing time that should be devoted to husband or children ?

How many of the coveted pleasures or longed-for rests could have been had for the doctor's hire ? Occasional flight from the grind is better than skilled specialists to keep one well , which is the sensible modern woman's reading of "that ounce of prevention. " To Keep Home Jlsippy. Learn to govern yourself. Do not expect angelic qualities in .four helpmate. Beware of the first disagreement. Also of meddlers and tale-bearers. Never retort in anger. It is the an swer which usually begins the quarrel. Avoid moods and pets and fits of sul- kiness. Never conceive a bad motive if a good one be possible. When the opportunity occurs for kind speeches make them. Do nvt neglect duties which affect the comfort of others. Remember that speech is excellent , but silence is sometimes more valuable. Be gentle but firm with children. Do not furnish boys and girls with too much pocket money : make them understand the value of a dollar. Do not say anything in their presence which you do not wish repeated. Be ware of correcting them in an angry or petulant manner. Never allow them to stay away from home overnight with out knowing where they are. Sylph hookers made in the princess fonn are designed of crepe de chine , with narrow lace headings laced with ribbons. Thes are worn with elabo rate evening toilettes. They are not always white ; quite often they are made with white silk and , while scant , are elaborately trimmed. As walking skirts are still worn short , one can afford to turn up the lower edge of the skirt where the ma terial has been cut by wearing at least half an inch. This will make the bottom of the skirt look fresh and new and will not make the average skirt of last season too short for the present styles. It is quite the fashion to trim the upper part of a satin empire gown with a spray of ivy leaves. This is part of the Napoleonic era in clothes. The modern ivy leaf , as it is worn to day , is of black satin or velvet , usu ally the former. A spray of them in different sixes is worn over the right shoulder , some resting on the top of the arm. This is in keeping with the popular fashion of using a startling decoration on one arm and shoulder v.hat is not repeated on the other. TJ.se Cotton Ilnii ( Ingres. Cotton is better for bandages than linen and its cheapness brings it with in the reach of the possessor of the most limited means. No household should be without a supply of cheese cloth for such purposes , and it should he burned and never used but once. The linen formerly used for bandages ai.sorbs the albuminous serum in burin and skin diseases of more or Ic.ss moist nature , keeps the surface dry and causes pain : also absorbs the fat ty substances employed in the dress ings and interferes with their action on the skin. VTir A A campaign against the murderous hatpin has been instituted by the newspapers of Berlin in view of a se ries of accidents which have already occurred during the busy period of Christmas shopping. Numbers of more or less serious injuries have been ' "caused by these dangerous implements protruding from the Inure hats of fash ionable ladies. Last week a lady was permanently blinded in one eye when taking part in a rush at a "bargain sale. " Two days later a lift attend ant at a neighboring shop had his face so badly injured that it was neces sary to take him to a hospital. Many cases of scratched faces are reported from many quarters. London Daily Mail. K Luncheon Gown. ISroadcloth of the finest texture in a delightful shade of Copenhagen blue made the gown from which above il lustration was taken and which was unusually smart in appearance. The line just above knee marks the tunic , running from back to foot of skirt in front. There is a generous train and a little bolero effect on the bodice opens over a charming chemisette of embroidered white mouscline. Black soutache braid is usid on jacket and sleeves , the latter formed entirely of deep circular tucks and a hand of black satin edges the jacket next the chemisette. Two black satin-covered buttons effect a closing at bust line. With this charming hat is worn a fur hat of white fox with long boa to match , ( he hat adorned with a gorge ous bird of paradise. UoiU'.s fur it Dinner. Don't mix sets. Guests should have congenial interests. Don't put the two brightest people together. Don't put a man next to his wife , or on the same side of the table. Don't have nervous maids. Don't fail to be ready and in the drawing room five minutes before the time. Don't confide any of your nervous anticipations to your husband. Don't fail to overlook the table in detail before guests arrive. Count the flat silver at each plate. Don't allow conversation to be en tirely between couples. Make it gen eral at times. A Ar luulile Tip. Here is u tip for making the lingerie waist wear belter than is its wont which is worthy of the consideration of the home dressmaker. When a quan tity of insertion is used upon a blouse the lace should be reinforced with a strip of net set in under it. Any kind of wash net of good quality will an swer the purpose. It can be sewn on with the lace or afterward by hand. A Hou.seUfepiiifc The housekeeper who cannot afford a covered garbage pail of zinc can liide the unsightliness of her leftovers by an improvised cover. This can be made of a big bushel or half bushel fruit basket , turned upside down and neatly pasted with oilcloth , which can easily be kept clean. The largest size of screw hook is fastened in the bottom tom , rather the inverted top , for a handle. As to IMettire Women who have crazy quilt walls , ivith the pictures hung in 'medley ' fash ion all over it by invisible wires , will be interested to know that art dealers are Irving to overcome the bad effect by isking permission for their men to hang I tlu > pictures , and these men will ) make suggestions ybout other pictures I on the walls. ' It la no longer considered good taste to ue the invisible wires. , chains or heavy wire taking its plac * The dealers say that as soon as peopU j begin to UPC the chains or heavy wim they will immediately go to the opposite extreme and want something like i rope for a picture hanger. The Xevr Type. " ' : "re is the new type. The "dis : . -shed-Iooking" men ami women of slight build , with small heads , hands and feet , and with delicate features , are seldom met with now. They are being rapidly replaced by thick-set men and women , with massive heads , huge hands and feet , coarse-featured , and having a broad mouth with thick lips. Is it that nature is providing for the increased wear and tear of life , or that circumstances are removing I those constructed on the old pattern ! LoiKlon Truth. There is a raire now for cream white suits , worn with hat and accessories series of nut brown. Mousseline voiles will be faddish this season and will be made into very stylish evening robes. Frocks may be buttoned down the front as well as the back. Fashion has suddenly become most liberal- minded in that respect. Bridal dresses have been chiefly re markable during the last few mouths lor the marvelous laces with which they have been trimmed. The black sash , with bow and fu.'s- tt 'he skle. is worn even with thir ar. ; e waist and skirt , although pi-- ' ' r. . y not with the plain tailored waist. Black velvet bonnets are flourishing in the land ; big and little , simple and elaborate , but black velvet. There ia also a hint of the poke in spring mil linery. The full line of the neck is shown and when the long neck is not natur al the collar is placed low upon the bodice and fits well under the ears and chin. Color embroidery on white , black , cream and ecru will be much used , as well as white on color. Most of the embroidery seen now in the shops is machine made. The separate waist and skirt has al most disappeared from view. The one- piece princess dress is taking its place. This princess style means curves and a waist again. The long , tight skirt is giving way. for walking purposes , to the short , tight skirt , worn with a long and much-braided coat , tiie whole costume being often trimmed at hem and wrists with fur. Employed more for evening than day wear are the deep , rich shades. The reason for this reversal of old- time custom is that these tints are so successful in setting off a beautiful neck and arms.

Half an ounce of camphor with one ounce of borax di.-solved in a quart of water , preferably rain water , makes a very eilicacious wash for falling hair. Heat the water before adding the cam phor and borax , as this will facilitate : hc dissolving of the ingredients. Bottle ind keep closely corked for use.

An article clipped from another pa per recently appeared in our columns in which the name of a well-known chemist and pure-food authority was used in a way that might lead one to suppose that he had condemned Calu met Baking Powder. We are informed that this is not the fact , and that the truth in regard to the expusitimi award given the Calumet is as tol- lows : When the World's Pure Fond Ex position of 1UOT was organised , a Com mission on Tests , consisting of twelve most eminent scientists ( chemists , physiologists and physicians ) xvas ap pointed which had entire control of the granting of awards. The Commission on Tc ts directed the chemists as to the nature and ex tent of the tests to be applied in the case of each particular product. The reports made by the chemists were the basis of facts upon whb-h the Commis sion granted -the awards. Every pos sible safeguard was placed about the granting of awards to prevent crook edness. Under these circumstances the Calu met Baking Powder Company feels justly proud of having received the highest award for Calumet Baking Powder. _ Coiilitiuou.H Performance.

[ There are times wh/'ii it is possible to get too much of a good 'thing , even In the matter of denominational breadth. Such a case is mentioned by n writer in the Bellman. At the close of a revival service the minister went down the church aisle , according to his custom , to greet the strangers in his congregation. "I don't think you are a member of our church , " he said to one , as he warmly shook his hand. "No , sir , " replied the stranger. "Well , you will not think me unduly curious if I ask you to what denomi nation you belong ? " asked the minister. "I suppose , " responded the other , with a twinkle in his eye , "that I am really what you might call a. submerg ed Presbyterian. " "A submerged Presbyterian ! " ex claimed the minister. "I should be glad if you would explain. " "Well , I was brought up a Presby terian , my wife is a Methodist , my eldest daughter is a Baptist , my son is the organist of a Unitarian church , my Becond daxighter sings in an Episcopal choir , and my youngest goes to a Con gregational Sunday school. "But , " said the minister , aghast , "you contribute , doubtless , to some church ? " "Yes , " was the answer , "I contribute to all of them , and that's what sub- Otkerwi.se Objcutlonabla.

A person in good health is likely to aave a genial disposition , ambition , and enjoy work. On the other hand , if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food , work becomes drudgery. "Until recently , " writes a Washing ton girl , "I was a railroad stenog rapher , which means full work every day. "Like many other girls alone in a large city , I lived at a hoarding house. For breakfast it was mush , greasy meat , soggy cakes , black coffee , etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort , and I thought the work was to blame too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on ( Jrape-Nuts ami cream and nothing more for break fast. fast."I "I concluded if it would tide him over a morning's heavy work , it might help me. so on my way home one niirht I bought a package and next morning I had ( Jrape-Nuts and milk for break fast. fast."I "I stuck to Crape-Nuts , and in less than two weeks j noticed improve ment.
