the highly colored expressions, the bit of
slang, no matter how helpful it seems to
be in piecing out your meaning, until you
have weeded from your conversation little
tricks of talking that make sensible people
doubt your sincerity.
There's nothing sweeter in girl than
sincerity of thought sincerity of purpose
and sincerity of expression. Nobody will
credit you with these as long as you in
dulge in the gushing habit.
Gratitude
We thank Thee, Father, for all that is
bright
The CLEAN of the days and the stars Of
the night,
The flowers of youth and the fruits OF
our prime,
way of time.
We thank Thee, o Father, for all that is
The sob of the tempest, the flow of the
tear;
For never in blindness and never In vain
Thy mercy permitteth a sorrow or pain.
We thank Thee, o Father, for song and
for feast,
The harvest that glowed and the wealth
that increased;
For never a blessing eucompassed earth's
child
But Thou in Thy mercy looked down
ward and smiled.
We thank Thee. o Father of all, for the
power
OF aiding each other in iifes darkest hour,
The generous heart, and the bountiful
hand.
And ali the soul-help that sad souls un-
derstand. Win Carleton.
OF course you are going to wear a shirt
waist this summer. Every woman is, be-
cause there is nothing so neat, so cool,
so absolutely smart for hundreds of oc-
casions as the shirt waist. And since
you are all going to wear this comfort
able garment, don't you think it would be
good plan to carefully investigate its
effect on ones figure and the methods for
improving this effect?
Snecial contrivances, says the Philadel-
phia Times, made for holding the skirt
hand and shirt waist together have i'm
mensely improved the general appear
ance of the woman in the shirt waist,
but there is still much 10 be desired. First
of all. a woman should take care that
her necktie, if she wears a collar and
tie. is on straight, and that 1t is held
down properly at the back. Men never
think of going abroad without a necktie
holder. so adjusted that it keeps the tie
down behind, but out of dozen women
whom noticed on a crowded car yes
terday all of them wearing shirt waists,
there was only one who had her necktie
properly tied and held in place by a mas
culine-looking necktie holder. The back
of the waists at the belt We're trim and
neat. however, although there We're only
three women out Of the dozen who had
the belt properly adjusted. On the other
women 1 noticed that the belts were
full inch and half higher in front than
in the hack. The effect was far from
nleasing. and women who care for APP
Dearances should not tolerate 1t for an
instant, as 1t absolutely ruins the figure.
II is a simple matter to remedy this de-
fect The skirt should be hooked to the
shirt waist at the back and the belt worn
a little higher than the waist line behind.
The skirt should then be pinned down
firmly to the corset in front full inch
lower than the actual waist line The
skirt band should be fastened under the

long and slender waist can easily be Sc

two inches wide, and should match the
sbirt waist rather than the skirt, or be
az some contrasting color. But the
