Getting the Most
Out Of Life

a I@OOST of us will admit, however that
M there are great number of people
NS= who actually do not know how to live
Css8y even in ease and enjoyment They
would never become "artists" though
they had abundant wealth, health and freedom
from family cares. But, on the other hand, we
find people who seem to have what only be
fifty described in schooboy Language as a rip
ping time" and yet they lack MEANS even health
maybe.
Therefore, to be artist in living clearly does
not mean the possession of great stock Of this
worlds goods, nor does it entail superlative ply
sical attractions special environment. Yet
surely to understand and cultivate this savoir
vivre a certain amount Of training is necessary
for it, well as the true feeling for those things
which really make life beautiful and consequent
ly, artistic.
How and where is such training to be OBJ
tanned!
There are no art schools for this sort of thing,
and it seems, therefore, that it is not the easy
thing supposed to become even an artist in
living.
No doubt great deal depends on ones point
OF view of life. There are folks who are experts
in dinners; they know every good restaurant at
home and abroad, the characteristics of all the
leading hotels, they derive exquisite enjoyment
recipe is to them what piece of old china is
to others. These, presumably, are artists in liv-
ing
But there are others to whom the joy of life
consists in scaling heights; they will climb icy
mountains, tramp for miles in heavy mist, foot
core and hungry, to reach a certain pinnacle
These will tell you there is nothing in life like
the bliss, for example, OF scaling the Matterhorn
To have surveyed man from China and Peru in
oil his viciousness is yet anothers idea of savor
vvre, and Others again tell you that if you would
understand the art of living you must be able
to take interest in everything-in brooks and
books in humanity and horticulture, in music
and natural history, picture postcards and poll
tics.
And perhaps when all is said and done these
folk are the true artists in living. They see life
from every point of view, they get all the light
and shade, they get the full measure of color
without which life must necessarily be inartistic,
because their interest is always engaged
Did we say there were no schools where one
could learn to cultivate this art? Every nursery,
every home be such if there is therein an
instructor. If every child were systematically
trained to take sincere interest in everything
that it could understand we should have unlimit-
ed artists among U.s. It is happily possible to
teach oneself, but only by making up ones mind
to find all things interesting, to learn without
ceasng, to be enthusiastic, and never to expect
too much.
Perhaps one Of the greatest artists of this kind
was Mr. Gladstone, and there are many others
happily, who achieve similar greatness, although
In obscurity, and it must be reluctantly admitted
that it is far more often men than women who
discover the art of living and finish Natures
crude beginnings.

girl when you are the eldest of eight in house
where there is not enough money to go round.
1t is annoying on school holidays when you want
to read your avorite story in your favorte paper,
to find that there is always the latest baby but
one to be washed and dressed, and taken out in
the family perambulator. But babies grow up,
and boys become men, and the girl who has
helped pack of unry young brothers to battle
with lessons too hard for them, who has shared
their pastimes and listened to their condolences,
is apt to reap her reward later in wider sympa-
thy with, and more complete understanding of,
human nature than is ever given to a man.
Then, If you woman, and the fates have
been kind to you, you may be both beautiful and
popular; in spite of all that has been written to
the contrary, it is possible to be both If beauty
were less rare than 1t is. it would not be so
highly priced and if there is one lot to be envied

SEEN AT SEA SIDE FUNCTIONS.

Sash-like kindred arrangements meet the eye
at every turn, the short bell sleeve being par
ticularly prominent. 1 saw, likewise, some bal
loon sleeves of lace scored by loose straps of the
dress material their upper ends sewn into the
armhole and their lower caught in by the brace
let band that is now applied to the majority Of
sleeves
There were also sleeveless bodices and boleros
worn over lace chemisettes. These were mostly
cut down low, both back and front, and gener-
ally trimmed about the shoulders, the narrow
draped fchu fastened on one side by bunch
of flowers being in special favor.
One Of the best specimens of this sort that
came under my notice princess in orchid
tinted China crepe. The three tiers of the skirt
and the fichu were embroidered and cut in fes-
toons, and the latter being held together by a
bunch of orchids AS for the chemisette, it was
singular in being of mauve-sprigged linon.

And night and day they rang away
Lord! how the knocker thunderedl
We worked in shifts upon the gifts;
And when we had unstrung them,
We'd twenty score of forks and more,
But not knife among them;
And as we two had scarce a sou,
There seemed to be caret
When silly mugs gave claret jugs,
But not drop of caret.

Icc10e7N oI human nature, love Van1sned IN Iulu-
lysesSa1 die age in order to give place to ambi-
tion To put it in other words, after
attaining middle age, we fall into the power OF
ambition and our love is swallowed IN the desire
to get on.
We desire riches or position perhaps title;
this desire grows stronger and stronger, and f.
nally we lose our love. We may be united to our
life partners by sentiment still; but that senti-
ment is ambition, not the love which drew us
together In our younger days
| LIS that correct statement? Most Of US win
be inclined to reject it as false at first; cam
not agree with the expert student, we say, and
we are disposed to dismiss his remarks as void Of
foundation yet there is always a lurking feeling
that man of that calibre does not make public
utterances without having thought out his sub
ject and so we induced to reconsider the as
sertion
As the result of our meditation we shall prob
ably arrive at the following conclusion: Al
though we cannot accept the statement a fixed
principle of life, yet we must admit that love
often does disappear before ambition after a GER
tain age. That the love of the courtshp days
does cool after year of married life is 30 well
recognized that it forms the subject of endless
jokes. II love cools, then it may well give way
entirely before ambition in many cases. The hot
love Of youth may develop into the deeper, if less
demonstratve, affection that ties two people more
securely together, and that ls what happens IN
numberless instances, yet there is an extreme
Likelihood Of its disappearing and being replaced
by worldly desires.
This merging of love in ambition is more prob
able where success has attended the couple The
husband has got on in tie world; having achieved
certain proportion of success, he wants to in
crease it. In this case the French proverb has
come true: his appetite has while eating
Taken literally, this proverb is contradictory to
the schoolboy's saying that eating takes your ap-
petite away but fgurativey it is correct. Hav-
ing tasted, we are hungry for more So the sue
cessful husband hungers for more; his wife sup
ports his desires; they forget love and are both
consumed by ambition
How will it end7 Ambition, like gardening,
has many dsappointments If he ultimately sue
ceeds, the lack of love may not be so much felt,
because ambition burns within them and every
thing else is excluded; yet there will undoubt-
edly be times when success will not com
pensate for the loss of love, as those who are old
will know full well. II, however, ambition Ia
not satisfied life win be miserable, for there viii
be no love to fill the void. And it is well to
remember, before allowing ambition to get the
upper hand, that only comparatively few suo-

SYRIAN sCARFs A FAD.

Among the accessories that count much
for smartness in dress, one notes the scarf ef-
fects. Made of daphanous material, they are
thrown about the throat and shoulders partly
as a protection, partly for their coquettish eff
feet, and partly to supply bit of color.
The Syrian wells, flmy and soft as gcssamer,
and sewn with hundreds of tiny spangles of sill
yer and gold, are prettiest in white, scarlet and
black. Other scarfs, in the pale tints of early
sunrise, show blurred and shadowy floral de-
signs. The Syrian wells, by dint of clever manip-
ulation, are easily converted into the prettiest
of berthas and coates for the dressy summer
gowns.

of six combed lizards from Mexico. This
is a peculiar looking reptile. having O.
sort of comb extending along it's back,

rapid increase in the number OF reptiles OF

necessity for a house devoted altogether to
this class of exhibits.
