Art" in the Ladies' Home Journal,
that while each one should aspire TO
tho best work, that girl is foolish who.
having been once made conscious of
her mistake. persists in offering medi-
OGRE work that deserves no recognition
whatever. II you feel that you have
the artistic instinct and the love for
color, then seek for yourself good art
school, and find out in what branch Of
work your ability lies; you will then be
more apt to attain the position you
long for than If you are content with
self-culture. II is a practical impossi-
bility for you to teach yourself. II
you have foolishly believed all the
praise that has been given you then be
sure you will never succeed. You will
be wasting your money in going to any
school. Put out OF your pretty head
some OF the silly fancies that are there.
The girl who learns to draw a good
wallpaper design, who learns how TO
combine coloTs so that rich-looking
rug is the result, who understands how
to embellish a book with a suitable
cover-she IS the girl who can be called
an artist. She does not ask the world
TO look upon her from sentimental
point Of view, because she has claims
to distinction and can demand recogni-
ton"

II Is harder for most Of us TO re-
joiee In another's good fortune than to
sympathize with him In his evil lot.
This is because love is higher than
pity. A lovers chief Joy Is TO see his
beloved enjoying. So It viii be with
us. when we get the spirit of love. Bet
ter. then. than to live In a fine house
ourselves will II be TO know that our
neighbor is getting pleasure from his
fine house. How far we are from this
virtue OF love may easily be seen by
such test as that.--Amos n. Wells.

Though life is said to be made up of
compromises. there are a good many
people who do not like them. Marriage
in particular is said to be an affair Of
compromises. One gentleman said OF
his experience: My wife and / began
our married life by compromise. She
wanted TO go TO Quebec for our we'd
ding journey. and ! wanted TO go to
Niagara, and so we compromised on
New York city, where neither OF us
wanted to go. All our compromises
since have been much of the same char
acter." Rather more profitable was the
compromise recorded OF another mar
ried couple. In this case the husband
wished TO have flannel sheets. and the
wife wished TO have cotton ones. And
So" said the husband, in relating the
arrangement arrived at. I'VE compro-
missed on cotton"
In this case somebody at least was
satisfied.

years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through ser
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed

house-building race. The only one so
far run seems 10 have come out dead

auctioned off number OF lots in West
ern avenue. Westfield. Mass. and with
the idea OF booming the neighborhood
offered prizes. Five hundred dollars
TO the first. $500 to the second. was
offered TO the builders OF new houses.
One OF the lot purchasers, contractor
named Rivers, began at once TO build.
The work was not hurried at first, as
there was apparently no competitor.
One appeared, however. four days af-
ter work had commenced. A Mrs. Lee
was the owner. and night and day men
worked on her building. Rivers re-
sponded with double gangs Of men. and
for several days the race went on with
out a pause, until both houses we're
finished almost exactly together. The
Rivers house, which was built in nine
days. has nine rooms averaging IA
feet square. Is trimmed with hard
furnace and running water. and Is
completely painted outside. as well as
papered and decorated inside. The Lee
house is not SO complete. lacking a
furnace and gas fixtures, but 1t was
completed in five days, thus breaking
all records SO far as known. Both
sides claim the $500 prize. About
twenty men were employed on each
building, and every device known 10
up-to-date carpentry was employed.
Both houses are attractive in appear
ance and show no sign Of cste in
construction. During the race the
houses were visited by hundreds OF
people. who cheered on the workmen in
