gorgeous pictures of the Japanese

haps the most beautiful and universal

lavender, yellow and also red and

Prune Type of Worn an
By ADA PATTERSON. .
"I seen a prune woman today," said
Katie. "I met up with her in a street
car." : . .
"Saw, Katie," 1 reproved, "And met,
not met up with." -
"Yes, ma'am. She was just like
them I mean these." Katie was
washing the prunes,
"What is a prune woman, Katie?"
"Well, ma'am, first of all she's
wrinkled, inside and out. Now I say
that in these days a woma'h needn't
get much wrinkled. . Not if she has
a good temper and a decent pride that
makes her take care of herself. Mrs.
Smith that lives over on Summit ave
nue is 75 and she ain't got no real
wrinkles. Only three creases at the
corner of each eye and they come
from laffin.' This woman may' a been
forty, but she's cross forty an' cross
forty is older than good natured
sixty-five.
"She was settin' at the end of the
car and anybody with half an eye
could see that inside of herself she
was critisin' everybody in that there
car. There was a pretty girl settin'
next to her. The girl had the puni
est little feet all laced up in high gray
shoes. I never seen anything purtier
or modester. Her skirt come down
nice and correct over the tops of the
shoes.
"But the prune woman looked at
them shoes as though they was
poison. 1 hen she looked at th; girl s
face as though she thought she was
something turrible. But the girl was
lookm out at the red autumn leaves
on the maple trees along the side of
the road and never seen the dagger
look the prune woman gave her. If
looks tould speak, the prune woman
would have been sayin', 'You're vain
and tritlin and 1 moren half think
your bad.' Maybe the girl is vain.
I notice that some is an' some ain't.
She may have been triflin'. Anyway
the folks, that are triflin' are more
pleasant than them that ain't. I can't
abide the people that go around with
a deep furrow between their eye
brows, thinkin' they're doin' great
things. They're generally sour and
disagreeable and snappy..
"And as for bein' bad, you know
the look of the child that stays always
in a good woman's eyes? She had
that, ma'am, and you can't mistake it.
You can get fooled on a lot of things,
but not on that.
"Down toward the other end of the
car two men was talkin' politics. They
got kind a noisy, like boys playin'
ball. Have you noticed ma'am, that
lots of men get as much fun outa
talkin' politics as, they did when they
wur boys out playin or goin' swim
min'? "And -that's about all they think
about it, just the sport of it. I'm
thinkin' woman will take it more
serious like. Come right down to it
women are the duty hunters of the
world. These men shocked the prune
woman. They didn't say nothin'
wrong, just raised their voices. But
she fidgeted around as though she
thought they would use bad language
any minute and she wished a police
man would- get aboard, and her
wrinkles got deeper and deeper.
"She looked at everyone on the car
and found somethin wrong with
everyone of 'us. . I seen her lookin'
at a rip in my shoe. If I'd said, 'Hon
esty ma'am my shoes was all right
when I started. That ripped while I
was doin' the marketin',' she wouldn't
'a' believed me. She's got the habit
of thinkin' the worst of everybody.
Until she takes a kind of pleasure
in it."
A feather-brained affair, indeed,
charming as feather-brained affairs
usually are, is this Reboux hat of
velvet with maple leaves made out
of feathers. The wr ap is of mole.
What the French will do next, of course, one cannot say, but
now Maria Guy has crowned a brown velvet hat with ebullitions
of kolinsky to match the collar and muff.

Steps to Happiness
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Most of us' spend our lives in pur
suit of happiness. But she is com
pletely elusive, and when we think we
have gained her, we always find that
she lies somewhere beyond.
We all want superlative happiness
and happiness is only comparative.
We are happy as we give joy to oth
ers, fulfill our daily tasks, and work
toward a goal of achievement.
Real happiness lies in "amounting
to something" in this world. And
amounting to something means doing
our honest best with our own possi
bilities and helping other people real
ize theirs. -
An old-time philosopher has sug
gested steps to happiness. Here
they are: Accept Your Limitations.
Seize Your Opportunity. Enjoy the
Good of the Hour. Improve the Bad,
and if You Can't Let it Drop. - -
Let us examine these suggestions.
"Accept Your Limitations" means be
sane and logical about your possi
bilities. Don't exaggerate your , tal
ents and insist on flying when it is
hard tor you to do anything more
than walk. In other words, take stock
of yourself and make the best of
what you are and have it in you to
be. But don't refuse to sing well in
the chorus just because you aren't
able to be the prima donna.
"Seize Your Opportunity." That, of
course, means be awake and alert to
whatever chance offers you and make
the most of the , tiniest opening
through which it is possible to force
your way to success.
"Enjoy the Good of the Hour." Be
happy over the little things and don't
worry because they are not eternal.
No sunset was ever less beautiful be
cause it was foredoomed to fade and
joy and beauty have almost an added
charm because they are not perma
nent. Learn to find joy in little mo
mentary blessings. So you get a
happy tendency, a frame of mind that
makes for cheer. .
''Improve the Bad and it you Can't
Let it Drop." ' Don't sit idly by with
folded hands and accept unpleasant
circumstances. Do your best to over
come them your honest best. But
if you find that faith wilt not quite
move mountains but only show you
the way to toil over them, try to sur
mount them.
If footsore and weary you have to
give up and retrace your path, be
cheerful- about that, too; Failure
bravely accepted is a sort of success.
After all these signposts to happi
ness only lead you on the path to
peace. Peace of mind is the greatest
happiness mortals can grasp and pos
sess. It comes from the knowledge
of duty well done, of work honestly
performed and of kindness and love
given to oiners.

How to Judge a
Woman by Her Hair
t :
There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such as
saying brunettes are quick-tempered.
But there is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge a woman's neatness.
If you are one of the few who try
to make the most of your hair, re
member that it is not advisable to
wash the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best bv eettine some canthrox from
your druggist and dissolving a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water when
your shampoo is all ready. After its
use the hair dries rapidly ..with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap
