The strenuoua LIre For Girls.


Strenuosity. however, seems to imply
at least a shade Of difference from
energy, else why the new name? The
dictionary says 1t is something "eager-
ly pressing or urgent, strongly insis-
tent, marked by uncompromlsing zeal"
Running the word back to its root IN
the Greek, we find that 'strong hard,
rough, harsh. especially Of sounds
for example, 'the strenuous trumpets."
Precisely! The strenuous life is the
life that sounds like trumpet. 1t is
dominant. assertive, militant. There
is Il tone Of defiance and strife in It,
1t is next door to a strldent life. If this
Is what 1t means, 1t is not natural nor
a desirable life for girls.
l take 1t for granted that man and
a woman are of the same worth and
not Of the same kind. A woman's
special and inestimable value in the
world lies just in the qualities which
make her womAnhood. And these are
things which strenuosity must disturb,
If not destroy.

"Just the sweetest Thing"

Many of the designs Of handwork are
borrowed from those used in hand
made lingerie. Not only has this idea
invaded the realm Of dress decoration,
but its latest outbreak is in the crown
ing adjunct of feminine attire. The
lingerie hat bears the Partisan hall
mark, and is pronounced Just the
sweetest thing for midsummer wear.
Batistc, lawn or null. tucked or
shirred, and English embroidery are
used in their creation in CONJUNCTION
with lace and flowers galore. The fact
that their correct expressions is only
possible under the deft handling of n
millinery artist is the chief Of their
many charms.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

s - y 3 MATTERS :
FURNITURE FOR AUTUMN.

Leather Much in Evidence--New idea as
to China Closets.
A prominent feature of the newest
furniture offered for autumn is the
great favor shown leather. Leather
seems to adorn or trim every piece in
one way or the other. For chairs it is
particularly liked. 1t Is either used
for cushions, to upholster the back and
seat, or in strips it forms the back
and seat of them. The leather screen
is the favored Of the hour, and when
1t is not all made of leather. leather
applications of various descriptions are
used as establishment.
-
A very novel idea just out is to close
the doors of china closets, bookcases,
cabinets, ETC., in the Mission style,
when os weathered oak, with a plug
and a strip of leather or short wrought
iron chain. The latter is far and
away the most effective and smarter.
The acanthus leaf and tulip are seen
as the decorative motifs of many of
The latest and most artistic wall cover
ings for autumn. The imported effects
are especially desirable, and grass
cloth in orange and wood colors, with
a conventionallzed design of tulips, Is
stylish to an unusual degree, besides
making a fine background.
When the very warm days come, one
is apt to feel "blessed be nothing" yet
the airy, diaphanous stuffs offered for
summer hangings this season are so
cool and dainty looking, besides dress
ing room so charmingly, that some
thing Is accepted as necessary to the
comfort and good furnishing of the
house. Select a loosely woven, soft
cotton stuff that viii hang in the
incest of folds, and that will greatly
temper the light of the seashore or the
wind Of the mountains, and they will
be all that can be desired
If q change Is desired from the pure
white linen embroidered centrepiece
and dolly, grass linen pieces, of the
blue that suggest Canton, China,
worked in white silk in heavy design,
are admirable. These blues are uneX-
ceptional with mahogany furniture,
