The wisdom and unwisdom OF sell

"a high-pressure life calls for protective

1T is not an easy thing to ACQUIRE the
| habit of withholding the worst from the
| dearest friend, and showing MIN only LIE
best: but it is possible when the heart i
right and the purpose has even a germ OF
strength. One brave, gentle woman, ful
of the fir that would have early con-
sumed her but for her wise use OF sa1tev-
valves. confided to a friend her experi-
ence in trying to relieve the tension OF
mind and spirit withoue giving discom-
fort to those whom she loved. Her
| piano became her abiding friend When
ever she felt the need of letting herself
down from a too high strung condition.
She played off her feeling and gradu-
ally found herself calm and rested
And there were times when a favorite poet
offered himself as a guide into the realm
of restfulness, and step by step led hef
on to the heights where she found
repose. The woman with mental re-
sources and with wise discrimination
will learn to choose her saftel valves
with reference to the comfort and peace
of the home, and will thus find a gain in
self respect and in strength of will"
*a
decided novelty in "cosy corners"
arranged lately by an art decorator, is
a Venetian Gothic niche. The space on
each side of the fireplace and about five
feet of ZACH of the walls adjoining have
poetic and Southern on the bleakest, of
days.
The walls, from the ceiling to within
six feet of the floor, are hung with an
art paper of creamy white, fecked with
blue, and with just a suggestion OF sll-
yer in the design. Where this terminates
a band of wood panelipg encircles the
three sides of the nook. The paneling Is
about a foot and a half wide and stain
ed a pale, artistic blue. Beautiful photo
graphs of churches, streets and palaces
in Venice are set in the wood at IN
tervals. AS they are of different sizes and
put in apparently with unstudied art,
the effect is enchanting.
4lse 1ona14 Oa11qru the walls are
hung with an art fabric of blue, white
and silver, and "a seat winch runs
around the nook, against the walls, is
upholstered in an odd, pale shade OF
blu velvet. At each side of the nlcne
where the paneling ends the carving
spreads high up on the walls in the
graceful. fanciful, minaretted way pecu-
liar to Gothic architecture. The fireplace
has a Gothic hood of the pale blu wood
and is so ornately carved with dellcate
lacewprk designs that it resembles the
entrance to a medieval church
An all-important matter in growing
vines is to see that they are constantly

Four seems to be the accepted number
of the soft puffs in which ones hair may
he dressed. They are arranged in a clus-
Ter and never made separately, as it
would make the head look too large.
One puff is coiled at the very top of the
head. two just below it, and one below
that. They are kept away from the back
If the neck. on account of the boas and
the high valois collars. For this potent
season the hair is universally dressed
o,,ite high. 1t is not difficult to learn to
mfr ones own hair; a little practice
works wonders. Some women send a maid
to take a lesson in puff making from a
fashionable hairdresser. and the rest of
the women of the family observe the
maid and learn from her how to dress
their own locks a la mode. A clever girl
should be able to learn very soon how to
arrange her own tier of puffs.
