MRS. CRUGER ADVISES LACE

Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger is popu-
Tar among girls, and she is kept busy
answering questions when her young
friends wish to spend their leisure
months abroad. She is an ardent advo-
cate of fine lace as an accessory to the
toilet: and she recently wrote to a girl
that If she had $1,000 to spend abroad
she would put at least $3.50 of it in
lace, and SO be well-gowned woman
for the remainder Of her life. Mrs.
Cruger tells of a girl who bought a lot
of duchesse lace, and this summer the
young woman is gowned like prin-
cess. The girl converted one wide, full
bertha, which, Of course, was years too
old for her, into a bolero jacket. This

afternoon frock. However she wears
it, no one in the hotel can rival her in

tied bank account and Of getting all
her clothes from Paris, and at a SUM

TIE GIRL WHO SUCCEEDS

She has so much to do that she has
no time for morbid thoughts.
She never thinks for a moment that
she is not attractive, nor forgets to
look as charming as possible.
She is considerate OF the happiness
kof others, and it is reflected back to
her as in looking-glass
She never permits herself to grow
old, for by cultivating all the graces
Of heart, brain and body, age does not
come to her.
She awakens cheerfully in the morn
ing, and closes her eyes thankfully at
night.
She believes that life has some seri-
Gus. work to do, and that the serious
work lies very close to the homely
everyday duties, and that kind words
cost nothing. -
She is always willing to give sugges-
tions that will help some less FORUM te
oyer the bad places in life's Journey
She is ever ready to talk about =
book, picture, or play, rather than
to permit herself to indulge in idle
words about another.
She is her own sweet, unaffected,
womanly self; therein lies the secret OF
.her popularity of her success.
