is born without humor, Without it you will
never be able to stand the work and the
people will never be able to stand you. A
laugh will not only brighten your life, but
help you over many difficult situation 1t
is much better to laugh, for instance, when
you are told that family has not had
anything to eat for week than to deliver a
lecture on untruthfulness.
Miss Hoagland went on to say that con-
ceit invariably dooms to failure in charita-
BILE work. 1.-THE worker must abandon at
the start the idea that he or she has any
thing to give. and must go TO the people
not as q teacher or preacher or Lady Boun-
tiful, but as learner. She must not try to
give people what she would like herself, but
must try to find out what they really need. :
The question OF age was brought up and
the opinion advanced by some one that no
one under thirty should undertake charita-
BILE work. In .contradistinction 1T was stated
by Mrs E n. v. Mansell, of the society,
that the best worker she ever knew was a
girl of twenty-five. She thought that those
most successful had themselves known
hardship. She added the significant fact
significant as an argument for higher edu-
cation-that she had never known college
girl who was not grand success as a
charitable worker.
Now for the other side. How do those
who must be helped view their would-be
helpers? The following is extracted from
the letter written to a friend by a respect
able. intelligent woman, commenting on the
actions of a gentlewoman who munificently
brought her some free ice tickets:
'T was not thankful to Mrs: X for her
fifteen minutes call, and had the tickets
come out of her pocket l should have po-
litely declined to accept them after the
lecture she gave me on economy. am
finding out every day that it is sin to be
poor She opened fire as soon as seated.
Where is your husband that he doesn't help
you? Where are your children? And
where are your brothers and sisters? And
who is this friend of yours here's she
your sister How much does 1t cost you TO
live a week? How much do you earn a
week? Why don't you have district doc
tor instead of paying one? That is ex-
travagant. How much rent do you pay?
You must have a visiting nurse come and
help take care of your mother, and it is all
nonsense to spend so much time waiting on
her If she can't get WELL All such ques-
lions and more, which my dear old mother
unfortunately heard"
These are the genuine utterances of a
well-meaning, tactleSS charitably inclined
woman. 1t is unnecessary to add any ex-
egesis. The above quotations prove con-
clusively that mere good intention is INSULT
cient equipment for effective work among
the poor.

the goods and sharpen the shoppers desire.
They're a fine looking lot; when weren' I
silk gowns that? But they're bit deceiving
because of the tricky ways in which the
fashions of forty or more years ago have
been recalled. Nearly all of the dresses have

seem inelaborate, but with goods bought
and with the details of making under i'm

there's much more to the desired model
than previously had appeared. A great many
silk gowns are made on the shirtwaist suit

deceived as to the ultimate cost of the gown.

1t is not only because women have been

backing chairs have been put into many of
the shops. If the shoes milady wears have

pay cents, and a pretty little coIored girl
gives them a shine she can see her face in.

SHRED Waist 4AOO.

No material is more fashionable than pom

ming than shirrings. This very effective
gown is made of the material in cream
white, dotted with embroidered dots of the
same color and combined with heavy lace
over white silk, but the design suits all soft
and pliable materials equally well.
The waist is made a smoothly fitted
lining and closes at the center back. Both
waist and sleeves shirred on continuous
lines, so giving the desired broad effect and
the yoke is of the drop sort, which extends
over the upper portion of the sleeves, meet
ing the shrrings. The skirt is circular and
is shirred at yoke depth, and again between
that point and the knees.
