HIS BUSY DAY.

It Is Eas.e., to Forget Some Things Than
ts Remember Them.
The business man was very much occu-
MED when one of his acquaintance came
in.
"I want to ask YOU began the caller,
but the other, without looking up, waved
one hand back of him and reduced the
friend to silence After waiting half
minute the visitor tried again.
"I won't take much of your time, he
said. "This Is something too important

again."
"I suppose there's no use OF my trying

"I'm sorry it's necessary to interrupt
you"
"Oh, it's all right. When come to

had the right answer when got through.
"You could easily have the bookkeeper

"No. / tried the bookkeeper on 1t. He

robbers saw. the extent of their own
guilt, and begged him to teach them
the secret of such nobility of charac-

en- them, and succeeded in converting
them to his belief; his work proved to
be permanent, and they in turn became
priests of much power, as jealous in
the cause of their new faith as they
had formerly been in crime, and be-
came known as the ten holy ones.
Among the attachments of the
Buddhist priests none stand higher
than that of writing poems. and an
ambitious priest has been known to
write as many as one hundred in a
single night.

1000 years before Christ. The funda-
mental principle of his system of reli-
gion is that there is a supreme power
but not Supreme Being. Inquiries
into first causes are rejected as being
unphilosophical, and believers also
claim that phenomena alone can be
dealt with by our finite minds. They
deny the immediate interposition of

NEW SHIRT WAISTS
FOR SPRING WEAR

ruffles because they protect the lining
of the skirt, are lighter than the pet
ticoat and have very good effect.
Be daring, and have the sleeves made
almost tight, for tight sleeves are
matter of the very near future-tight
sleeves and, alasl trimmed skirts. If
trimming is desired on the skirt, braid
is all that is appropriate on tailor
suit.
Have the coat made long half way
to the knee, and lined with good, heavy
silk.
For everyday use shirt waists are the
best and most economical. Get But
terick pattern and make them yourself,
for the ready-made ones will have no
style unless you pay 81 or So, and you
can make them just as well for so or so
cents.
If you are slender, use the blouse
effect: but If you are not, make the
waist in the ordinary way and by pull
ing the front out bit after it is on you
can reach quite enough OF the blouse
to be becoming.
This year the sleeves are very scant,
and the body of the waist is also not
full. The cuffs should be made on the
waist for economy in laundry, but sep
arate collars keep 1t fresh. The collar
is not to be turned but quite on the
clerical cut The tie should be either
very narrow or else very VIDE. Null
and ribbon finishings at the neck IN
place of collar and tie may be used.
OF material for waists there is such
variety the monotony of wearing one
dress is quite overcome.
A light waist, the right color, Will
keep fresh quite as long as dark one,
which, though not soiled, gets crushed
and looks soiled.
Select distinct patterns if you want to
look young Do not select nondescript
shades
