The bloUBtng bodice is opened over a girlish waistcoat of white not, gath ered at the nock by a "coulisse" or small, ribbon-of blacic "comete" velvet. Flaring slightly from the shoulders, with an arxnhole almost normal, the half-slepves are Btopped at the elbow and finished by a small flounce "en forme" of the same material and a small "deutele" of embroidered not.

In tho picture to the right, the appearance of the frills shows that tho lingerie blouse will return to favor. They are not so difficult to keep In order as would seem at, first glance. They are of plaited net, and may easily bo taken out and replaced by new ones. With this model they are tho only trimming of a pretty afternoon gown of lettuce-green charmeuao. The, bodice is a small "blouson" with low armholes. The Bleeve long and fitting simply, is finished by an Insertion over the wxlst of a piping of charmeuso of the material.

Perhaps It Is hero that Miss Jooephlno found her Inspiration to bo a sunshiny girl In everyday life, but to be happy seems to me to be a most excellent way to acquire beauty. "I am going to bo so happy and con tented with llfo that I will Just naturally attract sunshlno Instead of shadow," went on tho dainty girl whoso picture delights you today. "I um golnor to be so pleased with my life and work .that my expression can never be bitter .or discontented, but Instead must bo sweet and friendly. "Bitterness, discontent, envy, worry anger, malice I am going to banish them from my mind more and more earnestly as I get moro and more power to pursue a scorch for happiness.

Deceiving Your Wife Ella Wheeler Wilcox on "Debt" By WINIFRED BLACK, "I love my wife," said the man who Is in love with another woman, "and I don't want her to know anything that will hurt her, I protect her from her own foolish fancies, I believe It Is my duty to do that." And then ho went and sent his wife H box of roses and went to dine with tho other woman. I wonder if that man believes him self? I wonder If he thinks he's lying to his wife to shield her to keep her from suffering? I wonder If hs thinks that any one else on earth believes him, when he says tliat. Why, you poor, blind, foolish fellow, you are lying to your wife not to protect her, but to protect yourself. You find her convenient a comfortable appendage, a good thing to have In the famlly-that wife of yours and you don't want to let loose of her, that's all that makes you llo to her. You want to keep her and the other woman too. Well, then, why don't you look yourself In the face and see what a ooward looks like, a coward and a thief? Why don't you give your wife a chance to choose her life? If she knew she might leave you. Precisely why not? Why not let her leave you Is that the tort of bargain you made a bargain that binds her and looses you, whenever you feel so inclined? Why don't you tell your wife the truth and Ut her choose? Don't you owe her that at least? Why not? What Is It about a woman that makes It fair for you to cheat her, and then say you do it to "keep her from worry ing?" What if your partner did that way? What If he stole from you and then said he didn't tell you about it be cause ho didn't want you to" worry. What kind of an excuse would you call that? Would you pay much attention to H you, the jane, reasonable, business man? You would not. You would call him what he was, & coward and a thief. Why aren't you Just those two things, exactly, when you deceive your wlfo and then don't tell her, "to protect her?" Nonsense, man alive, stutr ana non sense! That sort of argument might hold water fifty years ago, it won't do now. That wife of yours is something be sides your wife. She's a woman, a hu mnn being, with a human being's right to choose. If you. are worthless, unfaith ful, a fickle fool, with your eyes every where but at home, why not let her know tho truth and do as she thinks best about it? Maybe she wouldn't leave you. After all, sojne women are like that. Maybe she would cling and cry and beg and make you wince. Well, .you know you aren't the first to pay the nlner. Would you get all your Joys for nothing? They n'-on't 'worh iUch if you enn't pay tho price, are they? Mavbe she would give you the liberty vou think you want. Just to see you beg for her charms again. Mavbe he is Just waiting for an' excuse to get away from you herself. She may not be so dead In love you you. after all. Perhans she Just stands for you the same reason that you deceive her. to protect you. Why don't you tell her tho truth and be done with It. once and for all 7 , Give the woman a chance, give her a show. You demand that much for your self, why not give it to her, you who are ho bra e. ro liable minded, so kind WhatT Bend her away where she Is "safe." Put her where she can't make you any trouble, and where she won't hear anything to make her unhappy? Why, you poor fool, every word you speak, every look you give, every tono of yotir voice, every turn of your hand tells her what you try to conceal "for her sake." She may not know that she knows, but she knows all the same nd all the lies you can tell won't deceive her, really, at all. What ar you thinking of? You can't compote with a woman In affairs like this. Love is a woman's business. She knows It from beginning to end, back ward and forward in and out. You're Just an amateur at the game, you, or the wisest man who ever lived. You Just play at off hours, sho makes it her whole life. You can make a woman believe you are wise when you are a fool; you can make her believe you are rich when you are poor; you can make her believe you are nobis when you are mean, but you ran never, never, as long as the sun goes round, make her bellevo that you are true to her when you are not All the time she knows, don't forget that Mr. Amateur you're playing the gamo, when you play at love and you're playing It pretty badly, according to her standards, tool "Protect" her, If you will. Tell her U the elaborate tales you can If she be as Ignorant as a Russian peasant that ono things she knows, better than you, with all your wisdom, will ever dream of knowing. And the other woman knows sho knows, no matter what she tries to make you believe, for she, too, Is a woman, and to her, too, the game Is llfo Itself. What a fool you are to try to deceive either of them when you try a fling at it In your bungling amateur way. By ELLA WHEELEH WILCOX Copyright, 1913, by Star Company. A man who has made a great financial success, somewhat suddenly, Is doing much charitable and helpful work for humanity, but he is marrying his own character and mak ing trouble for him self and others in the future by one unfortunate habit. lie never pays a debt until forced to do so at the elev enth hour. Every one who knows the man knows that he Is honest and gener ous, lie is sure to pay all he owes and to liquidate every debt, eventually. But, meantime, he causes untold dis comfort to his creditors frequently by his delays. Often, while soma man to whom he U owing a large bill is needing tho money to push along his own affairs, his wealthy debtor is giving liberal sums to aid others or to help some worthy cause. But there is a leak In the lifeboat ot this man which, unless mended, will eventually either sink his croft or dam age all Its cargo. No doubt the habit was first formed when he was struggling to make his way; before fortune turned Its smiling face upon him. But his very struggle and needs In early life should have mode him more consistent In his dealings with his fellow men after he obtained his for tune. Debt is the ugliest monster on earth outside of crime. Every young man or woman who is setting forth upon a slf-aupportlng ca reer should keep his mental guns charged and- ready to fire upon the ogre the mo ment It presents Its horrid face at the door, It tho habit of debt is once formed, It Is far more respectable to wear old gar ments and to bo unabje to present a smart appearance than to go about In clothes whlcharo not paid for, or to In- dulge in any pleasures or privileges which have made debt a necessity. Then train them In tho way of keeping a careful cash account each day and ot balancing up their books at tho end of each week. Speak often and repeatedly of the honor which such habits eventually bring and of the corresponding dishonor whloh follows on tho habit of debt. Thcro are children born into the world with a tendency to be borrowers and even to be thloves, because their fathers were parsimonious and niggardly with their mothers before their birth. And the children received the mental mark of their mothers' unfortunate stato ot mind, Ono such woman longod for certain kinds of food before the birth of hei child, and was told by her husband that her longlnga were extravagant and un reasonable. So persistent were her long' lugs, however, und so small was the, ex pense they entailed, that the unhappy, expectant mother purloined pennies from tho pockets of her sleeping master, and when she had obtained the petty sum needed purchased the dainty she desired, But her child was born with a mania for taking things which did not belong to hen even when she could have them by asking, or possessed money to pur case them, she preferred to steal. Men of that niggardly type often forct thulr wives and children Into the debt habit It is astonishing to find how many men of independent means hold tight the purse strings, and compel thelt wives to go empty-handed, while given unquestioned right to buy whatever thoy desire, so long as their purchases are presented to the husband In a bill at tin end of the month. Frequently these men make no complaint at extravagance, yet make bitter protest if the wife asks fot a small monthly allowance. Children reared under such conditions have no horror of debt. They have been taught that It Is Uio only way to obtain what they desire. Every boy and girl ought to bo given a small weekly or monthly allowance, taught how to spend It wisely, and made to keep a strict ac count. With such teaching should go a. con tinual kindly, persistent education or. tho nobility of Independence, r.nd the dis honor of debt. If ch.hlren form such ldtals before th go out into the woria, mere is snmit fear that they w"l Vor form t,he habit of debt afterward. ff" An Arctic Pioneer j By REV. TIIOS1AS B. GIUCGORV Hearne's right hand man was the great Chief Matonabbee, Matonabbeo had thought his English friends invincible, and when he saw his creed of brute force was overthrown. b the fall of the fort he went out Into the forest sjid killed himself, i Aftor his honorable failure ' at Fort Churchill, Hearne returned to England, where he died in 1782, at the ago of 47 Fortunately he wrote un account of 'hie lite, which was published a few years after his death, and lucky ore' they who. had the privilege o'f 'reading it.

A braver m a n than Ilearna never dared the terrors ot tho unknown, and midst the "blush ing honors" that are these days com ing to the Pearys und Amundsens, it were well not to forgot the man who blazed the way for all future explorers ot tho frozen north. On December 7, 1770, Hearne, with a little band of Indians, set out to find the "Fur-Away-Metal niver." and on June 13 1771. discovered the Coppermine. Press ing on, on July 17, he stood on tho shores of tha Arctic the first while man to witness the tossing ice floes of that lone. green Bca. He hud found a. region half as largo as European Russia, and proved that not a narrow strip of land ley be tween the Atlantic and Pacific, but a vast continent. This wide region Hearne was trying to hold for England when he was surprised at Fort Churchill, away up onftthe west ern shore of Hudson Bay, With only thirty-nine men he was surprised by 400 French marines from the warship La Sceptre, and nothing was left for him but surrender Mother's Friend in Every Home Comfort and Safety Assured Before the Arrival of tho Stttrk.
