those who had been uses for so long TO
her compliant service. but when they had
recovered from their establishment you
can rest assured Madame Weakness had
risen several pegs ia their estimation.
The woman who is always ready to flare
up cannot influence anything or anybody
by continual exhibitions OF quick temper
that make her but a laughing stock and
do not aid any cause for which she has
arisen in defense but when IL Is known
that an outbreak IS only forced by the Sc
Verest stress Of circumstances. then the
words uttered on such occasions make the
strongest possible impression. Life is "A
case Of crowding. The strong trample on
the weak and the influential bully those
who have not reached the nights that
warrant an assumption of power II YOU
are willing to be trampled on all the while
there are hundreds who viii find nothing
so pleasant as TO walk rough shod over
your finest feelings and rudely hold you
up to ridicule and pain whenever IL is
possible.
Women be firm, show an honest spirit Of
resistance once in a while. speak out your

due you and are determined to get il.
Everyone who has read Little Women

remember that when Amy's art ideas ar
house and that red hot pokers being left
promiscuously in odd corners placed the
lives of the entire March family in leo
party. This same odor is pervading many
homes this Christmastide. and pOkers are
not doing service exclusively in the rak-
ing of fires. Women who by dint of sheer
practice and perseverance have mastered
the art or typography are now making OBJ
Jects at once useful and beautiful In the
popular burnt wood either as gifts for
their friends or for sale in the Christmas
bazars. The list of articles, simple and
commonplace, which can be transformed
by a little practice into something of real
artistic value, is seemingly endless. There
are photograph frames, bureau boxes,
plates for cutting bread, jewel cases and
other ideas too numerous to mention.

There is no power of love so hard to get

there is no one thing that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what il
means and feels, and IL is hard to get and
keep il in the right tone. One must start
in youth and be on the watch night and
day, at work and at play, to get and keep
a voice that shall speak at all times the
I thoughts of a kind heart 1t is often in

like drop of gall on the sweets of home.

The position of the professional beauty,
| says te New York Press, has been vacant
| since the time when Mrs. Langtry came
to America, much heralded and praised.
A new claimant for the distinction APP
| peared not long ago in England and has
duly come with all the credentials of the
beauty to America. She is Miss Marie
| Studholme, and she enjoys the distinction
] just at present of being considered the
/ most beautiful EnglishwOman.
1t is Interesting to compare the meas
urements of this young woman with those
of the ideal Woman's figure as artists see
it. and also with those of the typically
beautiful New York and San Francisco
/ girl. Miss Studhome is feet inches in
/ hight She weighs 100 pounds; her waist
measures 20 inches and her bust 80.
| Her hips are 50 inches in measurement.
These measurements. although they may
give the ideal English beauty, slim
/ WASTED and broad-chested. are not what
those sticklers for classic proportions,
| the artists, demand, The artists ideal is
5 feet inches high, Her bust measures
would discourage any member of the
| corseted sisterhood for 1t is % inches
around. The weight is 100 pounds. These
are the measurements which are consd-
cred proper for statutes. The modern
young woman prefers something more
nearly like Miss Studholme's proportions.
The measurements of a young woman
who was regarded as having an ideal
| figure on the Pacific coast are as follows
Hight, feet 6ls inches5 bust, 30 inches;
| hips. 30 inches; waist. "a inches; weight,
| $50 pounds. These are more nearly like
the artistic standard than Miss Stud

| rather large. The New York ideal is more
nearly like Miss Studholme She is feet
51s inches tall. Her bust measure is S0la
| inches; her hips are 80 and her waist 1912
! inches Her weight is 1926 pounds.
Even if Miss Studholme's figure is not
| perfect, according to the eXacting classic
| al standards of the artists, her face sat
| isles even them. 1t is oval in shape and
| very fair in coloring; her eyes are violet
| and her hair chestnut with glints of gold.
| She has served as the ideal for pictures
both of modern and of classical style.
When the note of invitation from your
friend arrives, says Harper's Round IA a
! setting the day and the train when she
may expect you She probably men
toned the first in her invitation, and en-
closed a timetable so that you might
select your train. Having decided on
| this, keep your engagement. DO NOT al
low a slight inconvenience, or an invi-
! tation elsewhere, or a caprice, to let you
| change your plan. Go when you are ex-
pected, and stay as long as you are asked
to stay. An invitation usually mentions
whether your friend would like you TO
come for a week, or ten days, or fort
night or it may read thus: please give
us the great pleasure Of a visit from you.
Come on Friday afternoon and stay UNI
til Tuesday" or on Monday, and help
us celebrate Louse's birthday which oc-
ours on Tuesday; we will hope TO keep

much pleasanter to know for how long
you are invited than to have it left I'M
certain; but when no time is mentioned.

cloth, dark brown or blue by preference,

teas, evenings, little gatherings of
friends at dinner, or any fete to which
she is invited. a pretty waist of silk or
chiffon and a skirt pf, silk or fine wool

you with a simple evening gown, if she
thinks it needful, and girl never looks
sweeter than in simple white muslin or
