in the winter or the summer one cannot
have tou many fancy cushions or too
many fur rugs.
A most artistic effect is achieved by |
having the fiuor covered with mating
and white or brown fur rugs thrown
here and there upon it. During the
winter a few women cast aside their
pretty blankets or dainty silk quilts and
sleep under sable or ermine skins. Un.
healthy ] suppose they nre, but the
effect from an artistic standpoint IL
decidedly good.
Apropos of fnrs, the news is reaching
us that fur will reign supreme as u
decoration next winter. Have you heard
OF the latest thing in the jewelry line?
1t ia intended to be worn by some one
who objects to the ordinary garter, the
regular "evil to him that evil thinks
garter, and elects TO keen her stockings
smooth by suspenders. The dainty pair
shown at big jewelry shop is of white
silk elastic, the clasps being emer aid
hearts framed in diamonds. | could not
but wonder who would buy them. What
fool and his money would part for such
trifies as thesy? And what girl getting
them, would not remove the clasps and
utilize them as brooches or hair orna-
| ments?
The emerald has just now great
vogue given to it, and as it is said to
| bring good health il would seem worth
while for one to save up ones ducats
| that ono might possess the beautiful
green gem. After all, since we can look
| at them, we possess them, for she who
owns tham can get no greater pleasure
out Of them. Oftentimes we don't
reulize that. We let the mean desire of
possession control uH, and we make our
selves unhappy because we can't own
everything. Think what bother it
would be to have TO take care of every
thing!
The wealthieat woman | know is the
most unhappy. She is always expecting
something to happen to her house or
her yacht or her diamonds or her fine
pictures. Her bonds trouble her, be-
cause to morrow they may go down in
value. Bonds, yachts, wondarful hrica-
hrac, great pictures and fine jewels
don't trouble you or me, but we can
enjoy the best OF everything either
through the courtesy OF those Who
possess it or the ciyility OF those who
have it for sale.
We want to learn, every one OF us, to
get the most out OF life in the best
way. That is being woman of the
world. Most people think that to be
eager to he a woman of the world is a
poor ambition, but it is not. 1t is a
good one. since she is the woman who
makes most happy the greatest number
of people. The woman of the world il
the one who considers what you like
and attempts. for her own comfort al
well as for yours to give it tn you.
She is the one whose manners are
always perfect and who does not offent
you by gushing over you one day anG
by freezing You the next
She is the one whose gowns attract
, no notice unless by their absolute suita
bility.
She is the one who can be friendl,
!; without being familiar and who car
repel without being rude.
She is the one who refrains from say
! ing malicious things not only because
/ 1t will ruin the shape of her mouth
but because they are IN as bad taste a
swearing.
She is the one who always makes yo'
, feel at ease with yourself and the res
. of the world.
I She is the one who il stewed pupp.
we're served at your dinner table woul
. praise it's flavor and talk of the civil
| cation OF the Chinese.
D She is the ono who can make orde

] who can put everything Just where

. she ia the one with whom it is a de
r light to associate and who, after all
t may be governed not only by her ow

Q hut by greater and higher beliefs tina
