of Woman's Individu-
ality

The women who inspire admiration are
not always the most beautiful. They are
the women who comprehend their own
needs and study out the best means to I'M
prove and make themselves attractive.
Only very beautiful woman of a strong
ly marked individual type can afford to run
directly against accepted fashion, either in
dress or the arrangement of the hair.
Every one. however. can modify the pre-
vailing style sufficiently to meet her own
requirement Plain women can render
themselves attractive by studying the be-
comingness of all portions of their toilet.
This can only be done by comprehension
of ones self.
The highest cultivation of the time is
that of individuality, and in no other way
is this more demonstrated than in the
general attire of women. The plump wo-
man of short stature no longer arrays her
self in the modes suitable to her tall .slen-
der sister simply because they are the
--latest things out" The woman with Il
high forehead does not comb her hair
straight back because her dearest friend
who happens to be blessed with the low,
broad, dealistic forehead that artists love
to reproduce, finds this the most becoming
way to arrange her tresses. Women cam
not fail to find modes, fabrics and colors
suitable both to their individual styles and
to their purses, and it is their own fault if
their appearance is not pleasing. Chicd-

Where Patience is Needed.

About four miles out of Birmingham, Ala
we came across a strech of road about foul
miles long which was foot deep with rec
clay mud, writes correspondent. We had
to ride our horses along the edge of it, and
then it was job to pull through. On the
far side, about fifty feet from the solid road
brd, we came upon colored man with his
mule and cart, the latter loaded with wood
and stuck fast in the mud. The man was
seated by the roadside, while the old mule
was chewing away at a heap Of brush and
grass which had been cast before him.
"Stuck?' asked one of the party as we
drew rein.
Reckon So was the reply.
Glow long have you been here?"
"Since Yesterday"
"Why don't you unload aud get out?"

"But what will you do?"
''Wait for de mud to dry up, sab. She's
bakin' mgaty fast under dis hot sun, an two
days more will let me frew''
just at evening of the second dav we saw
him come into town with the load, the mule
being plastered clear to the tips of his ears.
The man recognized us, and, bowling very
low, said
