Self.MaStery.

When we are provoked, it is good
to think before we speak The
next time you are angry and feel
inclined to say something which af-
terwards you will regret, just pause
and slowly count twenty. BY that
time the impulse will have passed
away, and YOU will have controlled
your temper.
Temper eau be controlled. There
once lived boy who grew up to be
IA famous preacher-R0bert Hall.
AS a lad he had II violent temper.
His passion often mastered him.
One day he was so troubled that he
went into quiet place to pray, and
he said; 20 Lord, calm my mind. 4"
His prayer was answered, he gained
the victory over his temper, and in
after days was known as a man of
most kindly and gentle disposition.
There lies the secret of selfmas-
terry. We cannot conquer temper
by ourselves, but with the help of
Jesus we can. We were once out
in a trap drawn by couple of high.
spirited horses. The son of the
owner begged to be allowed to
drive, and his father consented
When we got on level road the
horses began to get out of hand.
His father, who was sitting by his
side, then put his hands on the
reins, and his firmness soon made
itself felt. The temper of the horses
was controlled by strong hand.
That is n parable for us. Our tenn
per is strong and fights for the mas
terry. Sometimes it is stronger than
we are, and runs away with us. 1t
is then that the strong hand of
Jesus is stretched out to help MS,
and through Him we obtain the
mastery. Our Young Folks.

What to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh
is better than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your
own business--a very important
point.
Learn to tell a story. A we'll told
story is as welcome as sunbeam
in a sick room.
Learn the art of saying kind and
encouraging things, especially to
the young.
Learn to avoid all ill.natured re-
marks and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop grunting. II you
cannot see any good in this world,
keep the bad to yourself,
Learn to hide your aches and
pains under pleasant smile. No
one cares whether you have the
earache, headache or rheumatism
Learn to greet your friends with
smile. They carry too many
frowns in their own hearts to be
bothered with any of yours. Chris.

The capes and short wraps fashionable
this season are quite different from those
worn last year. and. consequently. TO be
smartly gowned II is necessary to invest
again in these dainty garments which are
worn with all kinds of gowns, and not as
was the style last year, with only gowns
Of the same material.
TafYeta wraps and mantles of all kinds
are the smartest and those OF black taf-
feta are curiously old fashioned and pic
turesque. although it cannot truthfully be
said they are becoming.
Made in round or pointed cape shape with
ends in front long enough to reach to the
hem OF the skirt. the trimming. rows OF

though being made without lining. they
have not great deal of warmth. In white
the same style is seen, and in the change
able silk costumes, fashionable now, wrap

Another style has the effect of a bolero
at the back. but has also the long ends in
front and this is trimmed with lace me-
dallions and ruchinss or fringe of the same
color as the silk.
Black with yellow lace medallions and
white with the same lace are the smartsst
in this style, for it is decidedly odd to see
this wrap made to match the gown with
which 1t is worn.
Other old fashions revided in these wraps
are the shirring the putting. the box pleated
satin ribbons and the pinked rufhes.
A wrap made entirely of shirred chiffon
with ruffes of lace over chiffon, or with
rows of box pieated satin ribbon on each
shirring. is certainly novel and looks as
though copied from the design in some " d..
