TOP BUREAU DRAWER.


"Om80o O00t0Ce0fs
Harriet HoltCahorn says that wom-
ans bureau drawer-the top drawer,
that either is or is not . catch-all-re-
veals character more than any of her
possessions. and l could almost tell her
fortune by looking into II. Is it a pot
pourri-gloves. laces. hairpins, frizzes,
collars. letters and q hundred other
things? This denotes an uneven, un-
systematized, happy-go-lucky life. one
that fate loves to pursue. The orderly
woman who establishes standard for
people to live mp to always keeps this
bureau drawer in order. Her life is of
the tranquil kind. The woman who
fills her bureau with boxes possesses an
excess Of order that makes life burden
to the ones who live with her. She is
conservative and not very adapta BILE
nor tolerant. While order Is the first
lane to Heaven. order does not by any
means produce Heaven. However, the
bureau drawer never poses. You may
profess sentiments that are not yours,
and your milliner and dressmaker lend
you personality which You do not pos
sess, and pose successfully for what you
are not; you can buy correct books and
pose for litterateur by living up to
their bindings. In your house and its
furnishings you can buy artistic effect
and harmony of color and grand pic
lures. and even the atmosphere that
belongs with these evidences of culture
will hover about. You can have Louis
Quinze room without knowing why you
have it. and you can buy your coat of
arms and your antiques and your an
cestors. and you may escape the soul of
all that they represent and the world
will he none the wiser. But let the
world have peep in the top drawer Of
yonr dressing table and it will find out
things about your real character Of
which it has never dreamcd.-Philadcl-
