Do we share this trouble with ami

Homers and Shakspeares lose their
bearings sometimes. and can not tell
where they arc at?" Is there any
cure fer general debility in sense of
lection? What has happened To our
iGner consciousness, our basic eonvic-

compass are removed and set up where
they do not belong, and when
they persist in remaining there in
spite of everything? Who mas not gone
far astray because of mental somer-

business Women Should Leave Work To
Others who Live by Sewing.
Everyone has a pet economy. and the
business woman, the working woman,
tries to economic by doing her own
dressmalxing. She likes to dress well
and il does seem eXtravagant To pay so
much for what she might do herself. 1t
requires brave woman TO attack her
headgear. but with clever fingers and
good taste dress doesn't seem such an
undertaking.
But really you ought not to do it at
all
If your days work is fulfilled con
scientiously you ought to give the
evenings to rest and amusement You
would only sit and read. you say2 Well
then. Just sit and read. Reading doesn't
give you that sharp pain in your side.
Reading doc sn't key you up 10 point
of feverish excitement because you
want to get so much done.
If you like to sew you can always
have a dainty bit of fancy work ON
hand. or if you have set vour heart on
some luxurious addition To your ward
robe that will give you exercise for
your needle. Then there is always
your mending, and the really dainty
woman finds more than enough 10 fill
the time she shout give to evening en-
plovment. But as for dressmaking
don't try your tired eyes with II at
night Every little worrisome puclSer
in the dress is going 10 leave little
worried wrinkle in your face, and every
new gewn will increase that miserable
nervousness that preys upon 50 many
American women.
Evening is not the right time TO CON
quer compiica ed dress patterns. and
YOU would much better do with fewer
dresses and hand your material over TO
the professional dressmaker, who per
haps just needs your work TO pay for
some help that will give her little
time for rest
A man never thinks of attempting
to make his own clothes as an economic
measure but a woman elings to quality
and quantity of raiment. and heads her
list of economies by making il up her
self That does very well for the wom-
an whose days are her own. though
often enough it would pay her better
| to depend on some one else; but for the
woman who has only the evening for
| all the little odd jobs that somehow be
| long to woman's lite. il is bad policy TO
add evening dressmaking to her daily
| duties. and means a weary middle age,
| lacking energy for duty and applica-
| ton for pleasure. -Philadeiphia Times
