The Morphia Victim.

Even the Arab does not lie so per-
sistently as does the morphia victim.
All sense of honor deserts her.
Whereas perhaps formerly she was
scrupulous in money matters, she rap
idly becomes little less than a thief.
If she is hard up, in order to buy drugs
she will invent the most elaborate and
plausible stories and screw money out
of the unsuspecting. There is no
doubt whatever that drug-taking is
enormously on the increase. No one
who has ever witnessed the rapid de-
terioration, both in appearance and in
character, which inevitably follows
from it can hesitate to call it one of
the most frightful curses of modern
days.-London Queen.

THE CHARM OF YOUTH.
Careless in Her Treatment
of the World.

There is q charm in youth and hap
piness that carries a certain amount
of thoughtlessness for time. Yet
this charm is only a passing one, and
soon fails to win consideration if it
is not accompanied by certain dig
nifty of poise and wisdom and tact,
which youth as well as age may pos
sess. The old saying, "beauty is only
skin Deep" is daily proved by the SUI
perior charm which genuine beauty
of character exerts on the most triv-
ial minded of individuals.
No young woman can afford to be
bluff and careless in her treatment of
the world. In the old days of the
colonial times, manual work was
more necessary than exact culture,
but they have passed. The maker of
doughnuts and dumplings was q
more important factor in the society
of hundred years ago than the
skillful teacher or worker in any
skilled field to-day. Women did not
have time to be properly educated.
Their energies were limited to their
homes. All this is changed, says the
New York Tribune.
The world demands of anyone who
would reap it's rewards of success
q great deal of intelligence, and also
unselfshness. It demands good man
ners, which have their root in I'M
selfishness and thought for Others
A wise young woman who expects to
succeed in any vocation does not ex-
pect any consideration because of
her "thoughtless" youth. She aims
to be thoughtful and considerate as
we'll as helpful. A girl who is called
to enter family as companion,
governess, or even as serving maid
may be so tactful and thoughtful that
she is invaluable or she may be so
thoughtless that everyone in the
house is relieved when she takes her
departure.
One of the greatest elements of
success which a young woman can
possess is the power of effacing her
own personality in her work so quick
ly and so well that the worker is for
gotten in the perfection of her work.
The aid her helpful hand has given,
the tact and care she has exercised,
make her invaluab BILE. She manages
to make herself useful and agreeable
to young and old. It is the number
less thoughtful things she has done,
which careless woman might have
neglected to do, which has been the
greatest value of her work, as well
as her skilled knowledge.
When one sees hurried crowd Of
schoolgirls possessed of the radiant
charm of youth, but full of careless.
ness, and slangy and coarse in their
language, as the youth of the begin
ming of the twentieth century often
are, one becomes thoughtful. No one
wishes a young person to be anything
but happy, but there is certain JOY
BUSINESS which is possessed of sweet
seriousness of manner. A well-bred.
refined woman, trained for any work.
succeeds far better to-day than q
coarse, loud woman in any position in
life. The time has gone by when ex-
uberant youth will be accepted as an
excuse for bad manners.

Attempts have been made to de-

The PRESIDENTS WIFE.
Mrs. Roosevelt Is Devoted to Her Hus-
band and Children and Fond
of q Simple Life.

Though Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
from early childhood, has never been
publicly before the world, hers is one
of those rare personalities which are
bound to assert themselves under any
and all circumstances.
And those friends who have known
her from childhood are waiting to see
how we'll every duty will be fulfilled,
for they know her perfectly balanced
character, her reserve force and her
calm, cool judgment of people and
things.
There is no gossip or scandal al
lowed in the Roosevelt household,
and there is no guest who does not
feel irresistibly compelled to stand up
for what is best and right, so high 10

the keynote that is sounded. This is
not saying there is not plenty of life
and jollity, for merriment reigns su-
preme with young and old, and never
has it been allowed that the cares
of office or the anxieties of politics
should intrude upon the fun and mer-
'riment that go on increasingly.
The Roosevelt household has al
ways been democratic in it's simplic-
ity. There have never been any at
tempts made at elaborate entertain
ing. There have been no gorgeous
banquets to be chronicled among So
cial events, and when the news col
umns gave the information that Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt enter
tanned at dinner, there have never
been any wonderful table decorations
to chronicle.
All about the management of the
household has been charmingly SIM
pie. A true spirit of hospitality well
coined every guest, who was made to
feel that his or her presence was to
be desired. Wine was always served,
but neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor his
wife cared for it.
The menu was always simple and
never comprised many courses, for
Mr.. Roosevelt disliked long dinner.
Everything was we'll served, but on
most simple lines. This, however,
with an appearance of absolute COM
fort everywhere-comfort, not show,
being apparently the watchword.
Mrs. Roosevelt, says the Kansas
City Star, is not a very great talker,
but is brilliant conversationalist-
an apparent Inconsistency explain
able by her being a remarkably good
listener, and possessing that rare
charm of drawing out the very best
in anyone she talks to. She has a
keen sense of humor.
Not a beauty, Mrs. Roosevelt is
nevertheless an unusually pretty
woman, rather above middle height,
with slight, girlish figure. She is q
brunette in coloring, with brown
eyes and hair, but fair skin.
She rarely, if ever, wears = large
hat, and is generally seen in a small
bonnet, and she does not change the
style of her hat as the fashions
change. Her brown hair curls in soft
ringlets around her face, but is
brushed smoothly back from her
temples and arranged in soft coil
at the back of her head.
She wears it in the same stvle,
whether for day or evening, but with
evening dress she wears an aigrette,
which adds height and emphasizes the
long line of her shoulders, one of her
chief beauties. She is woman who
looks much better in evening dress
than in street dress, and her evening
gowns are ALWAYS rather elaborate.

Or what they didn't do or say, as We have
