Others feel the upllft a bright spirit

is always duty to be cheerful.
Melancholy is mild form OF

and tends to break down the whole

with ugly wrinkles, and sours the
heart with unpleasant broOdings.
The cheerful soul lengthens life on

pleasure of its own existence.
For the sake of others, every one

The Ever Beautlfal Tea. Gown.

Whatever changes, either slight
or radical, may be brought about by
the turn of fashions wheel, it is
never likely to consign to oblivion
the reposeful and graceful tea
gown. Most women know the abb
solute comfort and satisfaction of
its easy, classic folds which hide
defects and accentuate graceful out
lines. Although elegant in effect,
these gowns are not necessarily ex-
pensive, and can easily and taste
fully be made from the spoils of the
seasons sales. The gown is also
within the creative powers of an
ordinary intelligent dressmaker en-
gagged by the day. The most satis-
factory model is that with a pTin-
cess back and straight fronts, fall
ing in folds from the shoulders. At
each side of this front the gown fits
the figure easily and smoothly, but
it is not tight.
There are women who dislike the
dress, and if they so far unbend as
to wear 1t they have it made of
some gloomy material, usually
black or zinc colored cashmere, so
as not to look too cheerful or gay in
it. They thus let the best oppor-
tunity they ever have of being
artistically and charmingly dressed
pass them by adopting a material
that should really be preserved for
Lenten or for half mourning uses
and forego all the lovely and poetic
materials that are now worn even
by the mothers in Israel. While
sixty looks Ridiculous in the hues
and habiliments of sweet sixteen, il
is we'll to understand that there are
in these latter days very beautiful
and very appropriate colors and
clothes for matrons as we'll as fol
maids. New York Post.

Bedspreads Of Net.

Bedspreads and pillowcases of
white net, with centres and borders
of renaissance lace, are taking the
the place Of the satin coverlet and

these spreads and shams are very
pretty, and refreshing change from

Stains for Cottage Floors.

In spite of the fact that, for the
lighter and more inexpensive forms
of summer cottage, floors are usual

is contingent who prefer stain
and who ask just how it is best to
mix and apply it. A painter at

falling out, and then they are ready
for use, ,tssoa s4t tssib adlr
Small cottolene or lard pals make
admirable mixing cans for the
stains, but even tomato cans will do

melted off. The various stains come
now in small cans, but prepared
paint can be thinned with, turpen-
tine-a gill to half a pound-and

is an excellent color for a hall, and
raw lumber for a diningiroom, but
the shades can be varied indefinite-
