MME PATHS HEALTH SECRETS

Adelina Patti is one Of the women who

given her idea of the method OF DONG
this. She said: -
To remain young and fair, to de1y the
years that leave their traces on race ana
figure, lies within the power of each .Wom-
an. The Great Magic Secret is contained
in four rules:
Keep the mind clear of all unnecessary
worry and the body clear OF all unneces-
sary food. Live with great regularity and
still greater moderation.
That sounds very simple, but the aver
age woman will find that the observance
Of these rules gives her remarkably me

can be no tragedy in life so awful to

equally important: Keep the heart young.
The one In whom faith and hope and love
still live must reflect the fact on the fea-
lures. This is inevitable. 1t Is the hope

absence Of love Of the positive sort, that

their time They may love those near
to them in a perfunctory sort OF way, but
this is a negative love. LIN. r +.
The love that lifts them out Of them
selves and glorifes the humblest home
is gone, or has forever passed them by,
hence the unhappy, disappointed faces one
sees on every side. And so would say,
love some one or something truly, If it
only be dog. The emotion makes you

either laid on in bands or worked up into
fancy figures, is just the thing. Spangles
are very much favored, whether put on
all over the costume in the form Of beads
or worked up into motifs applied on.
Net over taffeta is mode particularly
adaptable for dressy wear and one that
strikes the fancy Of many women. One
gown on this order that is particularly
impressive shows net with a luster
amounting almost to a metallic finish.
This is over taffeta foundation and the
whole is very deliberately trimmed with
a floral design worked up in taffeta, gilt
cord and silk embroidery. Such frock
Is one well calculated to appeal to the
woman who goes in for the odd and the
original.
Creations in fur are very much to the
fore this season, and are liked in whole
coats as well as in neckpieces, hats and
muffs. Gray squirrel is great favorite.
Mink is another, while for very dressy
wear ermine Is considered just the thing
by those who want to be up to date. The
gray squirrel is one Of the most popular
furs we have and especially for whole gar

In choosing her costume or, in fact, In
buying any article Of wear this season,
miladi has to be very careful. It is a
season of great elaboration and a season
when a variety of different forms are the
vogue. 1t is a long while since there
have been so many trimmings seen and
such a number of different styles used.
There are a few things, however, in
which it is almost impossible to make
mistake and one of these is a cloth gown
trimmed with lace or spangles. Every
form of trimming on this order is in vogue
and if the cut is right there is no reason
why it should not be right up to the mo-
ment in style.
The skirts are usually plain and tight
fitting over the hips and down to the
knees Some Of them flare a little at the
bottom, while train effects on the dressier
models are not only permissible but de-
cidedly in favor. The waist fits we'll in
the back, but usually blouses in front, or
at least has a suggestion Of the blouse
about it.
When it comes to trimmings there are
so many styles that lis almost impossible
to go wrong in the choice Of these. All
kinds Of lace applications are good. Braid,

Minneapolis women do not play golf on
Nicollet avenue, though the casual OBJ
server might fancy so as he notices the
number of them who are there in sweaters.
Just why the sweater should have taken
the place Of the jacket this fall is some
thing that only she who wears it knows,
for it Is not becoming, it is not appro-
pirate and it is not cheap, three reasons,
any one of which Is enough to make a
thing popular. In spite Of its inability to
qualify, the sweater has won a place in
the feminine heart until it now seems to
round out any costume from a. long tailed
etamine to short skirted cheviot and tall
and short, fat and lean women wear it to
church and to shop, to walk and to visit
with an inpartiality that betokens to-
tai lack of vanity, II nothing else.
In itself the sweater is a delightful gar
ment, warm and clinging, to slip on for
game Of golf or for a tramp In the woods
or round the deck Of a steamer or to pro-
tect one from draft when the furnace
fails to perform properly the duties Of a
furnace-but as a fall wrap, to wear "to
mill and to meeting" it is out of its
sphere.
"You look only little less angular than
a lamppost,' was the brutal remark that
a man made to his wife when she donned
her new red sweater and waited with flut-
placed the garment in the same class as
the long box coats which we're so popular
among the women last fall and which
were so distasteful to the critical mascu-
line eye.
One really cannot but indorse the rather
high handed action Of a Sunnyside young
man whose sister bought white sweater
all fancy stitches and stripes. Argument,
coaxing and commands failed to convince
the owner that it was unbecoming, unde-
sirable and inappropriate, and the brother.
with a courage worthy of better things,
consigned the offending garment with his
own hands to the furnace. '..--

A sweater costs all the way from So to

hardly buy the same amount of unbecon1-
ingness in another form for the same
price. Every woman IS firmly convinced
that she can wear the clingfng Jacket until
she slips into it, but mirrors have a way
of telling the truth, and it is only the
stubborn who are more courageous than
wise.
