Sweat.Peas,

1t used to be considered in the good
Old days" when our grandmothers grew
the sweet pea. that any one could grow
1t. This is true, in a way, today. But
not every one can grow it well. and no
one KNOWS the possibilities of this beau

The first thing to do in growing sweet
pease is to obtain good seed. You can

The Art OF Pleasing,

The art of pleasing, which used to be
considered quite enough of profession
to satisfy the soul of any female, seems
today in the reaction against such an ex-
IRENE view in some danger of being
thrust into place dishonorable.
True. it takes time to acquire this CELL
tie and valuable art, and true. it takes
money Indirectly. for time is coin for the
modern woman, whose work is worth it's
hire. But no amount of direct money
earned or inherited can buy the genuine
art to please. 1t is born with some wom-
Ell, as intangible us gossamer web,
seemingly nothing until it clings about
the face in Il forest walk, not to be light
ly brushed aside. To deliberately acquire
and weave SO delicate fiber takes, not
coin, but heart and hand labor.
Now, asks the modern woman lis it
to be demanded of me to keep up my
public career, my home life, my social
duties, my power to dress well, and cult
vate also the art of pleasing!"
Unless you do all this and more, mad
anne or mademOiselle. you are not a typj-
cal 1ilodern woman. The blown feminine
flower of this decade must have the
broadening influence of Il public career,
the sweetening of home life, the power
which social influence undoubtedly gives.
and the arts of dressing well and of
pleasing must be included under the gen
eral heading "womanly."
How one human body can suDport this
many-sided strain is an end of the cent
ury marvel, but women are noted down
the ages for their powers of endurance.
and certain it is if they now let slip but
a single one of all these gradually-ac-
CURED attributes they will miss it sadly
ut every turn.-Harper's Bazaar.
