Good Advice
J
Once upon a time a Jackdaw found some
beautiful peacock feathers . lying on the
ground, ao he thought he would deck him
self out with them. "Now." said he, "my
friends will admire me, and I'll be their
leader In dress."
Ixiok at her In the picture and you will
see how she strutted about. But It was
no use; she was only a jackdaw, and all
the other birds knew it and made fun of
her. They Jeered and mocked at her, and
the wisest birds In the tree cried, "She Is
pretending to be something ehe Is not i -she
Is not true f.o her colors; eh la unfit for
our company!" . ".".,
"Tet's plUck off her" borrowed finery,"
said another. "When " stripped she. will
appear in her true light." . ' ,'!
Thus was the" Jackdaw exposed, and she
never got over the disgrace. When she
waa dying she -called her children to her
and gve them thla advice:
"Never pretend to be what you are not.
"Do not be like some boys and girls I
know, who think that fine dresses j will
make people admire them.
"A Jackdaw should not try to look. like
a peacock, for she'll' be nothing more than
a Jackdaw, and a very foolish one at that."
(f5 Don't Know Big Money
J
I'nfamtllarlty with money gives children
a queer Idea of the value of certain coins.
A 60-cent piece dropped from the pocket
of a vlBltor to a New York school, and
was returned by a small girl with the re
mark: "Here, sir. Is your $10."
The man laughed in spite of himself, but
the teacher looked sad. -
"Poor little things," she said. "How can
you expect them to know any better? They
never see a piece of money bigger than a
quarter. They are as sharp as a coin col
lector on cents, nickels, dimes, and quar
ters, and can almost tell the date across
the room, but a piece of money bigger than
that Is such a rarity In their home that
they are apt to call anything from one to
a hundred dollars.
"When I first took charge of this class
there wasn't a child In the room who could
name the denomination of a coin above
quarter. They had heard of big money,
but had never seen it. They have, had
several lessons In identifying Uncle Bam'
money, but that particular girl happened
to be abfeent, so It Is not strange that she
should take your half dollar for $10."

A Striking Bretelle Skirt
A very, atriklng bretelle skirt to be
worn with a separata net or lace bodice.
Thl skirt was fashldned from cream chif
fon broadcloth and , bad a trimming of
black soutache braid. The braid outlined
the center panel and trimmed the band at
the top of the flounce. Skirts of this type
and style are Just aa much In favor now
a during th last few year a fact for
which all women should be thankful aa
they are serviceable as well aa stylish.
The well-dressed woman of today always
provided at least two waists with each
tailor costume. Sh has on waist of cloth
If It Is (or her winter suit, or of crepe de
chine or heavy durable silk If It in to com
plement her spring costume, and then she
never falls to provide a second blouse of
chiffon, lace or soma such light texture
that will make th plain cloth gown suf
ficiently tmart for afternoon wear. If
economy of the strictest degree must be
practiced the second waist Is generally of
whit chiffon and lac combined, In order
that It may be worn with several different
skirts If so desired. At this time of year,
when It la necessary to replenish the ward
robe, a emart whit bodice that can be
worn now and then right on through the
spring a well Is an excellent Investment.
An extremely firtUy bodice recently Im
ported from ro was of white tucked

An Irish lace waist Is a splendid Invest
ment, for,' though the .Initial cost Is not
small, the waist will serve at all seasons.
In all times and In alt places lac will
southern outfit a hod Ice of Irish lace will
be most useful with th linen coat and skirt
costumes, while later on In the spring' It
will make the simplest cloth suit smart
enough for almost any occasion, and can
be worn again the following winter, for
there Is no limit to the wear that can b
had from a bodies of Irish lac. Fortun
ately the demand for thl style of lac
waist has brought to th market many
models which, while not of th finest, are,
nevertheless, genuine hand-mad, and will
answsr the purpose well. An Imitation
lac waist Is, however, not. to. be advised,
for It will neither wear well nor look smart.
Th crepe or silk bodice that I pro
vided with th plain tailor costume for
early spring should ba built on the. aim
plest lines. Th 2-year-old design, with, th
entire waist laid In either half -inch tuck
or else narrow box pleats, with a detach
able collar of net or Irish lac that can
be easily washed, cannot be Improved
upon. The modal Is mad up-to-dat by
mandarin sleeves, while th popular ruch
of the material down th front of th waist
laid a little to on aid Is still a favorite
finish. The waist fasten In front with
either button or hooks and ayes bidden
beneath the ruffle. Th collar I best lined
with net. which washes mora satisfactorily
than chiffon. Whit cuffs improve thla
waist, but It Is well to so finish th sleeves
at ths wrists that euffs shall not always
be necessary.

She's a plain, uncultured woman. 1 '
She cannot philosophise;
Hengle, rk'hopenhaueT, Darwin,
Have no value in her eyes.
For she doesn't know about 'era.
And, besides, she's orthodox, . '
So she plods along without 'em;
But she darn her husband's sock.
She Is not a bit capricious,
Nor on female suffrage bent.
And her cooking Is dellclons . .
And her husband Is content
She Is wholesome, happy, human,
Unbeguillng, unbe gulled;
Just a plain, uncultured woman;
But she has a little child.
