variety and Change In Daily Routine
Are Aids TO Longevity.
One Of the professors in the Univer
Yity Of Nebraska claims that the Amer.
lean people are running too much to
fads. He says they are wearing them
selves out chasing after physical cul-
turc, golf, tennis. automobiling. mas
sage. diet, baths, etc He denOminates
these things as fads. The person gets
interested I'm one or more of them and
spends a great deal of time and energy
pursuing them.
No doubt a person can run a thing
into the ground and make it harmful
even though of itself it be good thing.
But we believe that every person should
have at least one side issue or fad from
his regular vocation.
After one gives so much time every
day to the routine Of work to turn
aside for awhile and take up golfing,
tennis or physical culture or other out
door sport is restful and beneficial
True. some people do become regular
cranks on health culture, diet bathing
and athletic sports, but any one of these
pursued in moderation, with common
sense. can be made Of a great deal Of
use. especially to the person confined
IN an Office all day. 1t brings into play
the muscles that are unused, and it
drives from his mind all business cares
and sets another train Of thought going.
Reasonable attention to dict and bath
ing is also sure to improvShealth. The
woman who is confined to her home
the larger part of the day with house |
work win find golf or tennis or an hour
spent in physical culture relief to
tired muscles and nerves.
Change and variety in our daily rou-
tine are necessary to our well being.
No matter what our regular vocation
may be, It is harmful to get into Il rut-
just simply going through a treadmill
Of duty day after day with no letup.
One should always try to bring into
each day some new activity, some new
train Of thought 1t is not wise thing
to get into a certain groove and just
simply wear ones life away. MonOtO-
ny kills quicker than anything else.
We should have our daily work, in
which we are interested, put our ener-
" and enthusiasm into it and do it
with all our might. then when that is

ty or rest.-Medical Talk.

Buying Odds and Ends.

Why is it that some women often
Just the ones who pride themselves on
their economy. cannot resist the temp
tation to buy odds and ends and rem
nants for no other reaSon in the world
than because they are cheap? or
curse. dainty bits of lace and odd
lengths of p~assementerie look simply
Irresistible on the counter, but they
are so simply Irresistible when it comes
to doing anything with them. 1t takes
a decidedly clever woman to use up
such pieces to advantage, and unless
she is quite sure of her powers as q
maker of triics out Of scraps she had
better look the other way when she
passes the remnant counter unless she
desires Il collection Of material that
be'orss by rights in the scrap bag.

The hats which look like one huge
flower with foliage are especially in
tended to accompany the lawn party
frOcks.
Moss roses and buds are much in
vogue for hat trimming this season,
and are uncommonly pretty on lin
garie models.
Very tailored il style are the natty
little cutaway coats closing with one
button. These are ~serviceable as sep
araie jackets.
Shocking is a dainty decoration
for silk and other soft materials that
is Eav: tg { revival and is finding
favor among hand workers.
Occasionally a blue or pink waist
is worn with the white bolero and
skirt and an all white hat or one with
trimmings matching the color of the
blouse.
Standing white stock with polka
dotted tie clasped by a small pearl
buckle and a corresponding belt add
a pretty finish to a plain linen morn
-
ing costume.
If you want to be quite up to date
you will carry in the tiny pocket
on the front of your tennis OF neg
ligee waist a silk handkerchief to
match your tie.
A great deal of braid is seen this
year on the cloth costumes. Some
times it appears on the jacket alone,
sometimes on skirt alone, and again
trimming both pieces of the suit.
For young girls the plain boleros,
rounded at the bottom, and simply
trimmed, are the best style. They are
the shortest and jauntiest Of gar
ments and eminently becoming to
the youthful figure.
If the automobile veil is pinned
closely at the back Of the neck where
it crosses, the long ends may be drawn
around to the front and tied in soft,
loose folds, which are more becom-
ing than when pulled tight.
To give a bit of variety to your
supply Of lingerie D3ouses, fasten one

tons on opposite sides Of the opening

tonholed thread loops to form the

Linen and duck tub hats have a
braid the size of the crown set with
buttons to which both crown and
brim are attached. This reduces the
trouble of laundering to a minimum
and even children's hats may be kept
immaculate.
Sashes md hair ties of Rompadour
ribbon are very we'll liked for little
girls, and are pleasing by way Of
change with white, though the uni
versal becomingness and purity of
white renders it always appropriate
fer children.

The home life of a typical Ameri-

ego, says Minna Thomas Antrim in
L~ippincott's. In it she indelibly ex-

cores. Presumably she is a wife

pine? Heaven forfend. She is her

a hostess sans reproche. She rules
her home with thrift and skill. Her

How to Cultivate Pink.

A famous beauty doctor says: 81
don't advise my patients to wear
pink; that would be too extreme, but
L tell them to set in shape so that
they can wear pink. 1t is a hard
color and makes you look as black as
sin unless your skin is fitted for it.
Wear pink right next to the face, so
as to bring out the pink of the
cheeks, and the pinks of the chin and
the ear lObes.
pink cheeks should not be too
deep in hue or they can not show the
blush as it mounts into them. The
pink should not extend over too large
an area Or the whole face will seem
flushed.
For red lips I AIN advising spin

my patients eat celery or spinach or
lettuce for breakfast, with their
rolls and coffee, and I ask them to

every woman wants to look like a

"Cultivate your hands, keep them

have become a lovely deep pink.
Lastly and for all time, let the mouth

a week later, as Mark proudly placed
the last one against the wall. He
had been working very swiftly to get
through, but there were no vacant
spaces among them.
Mark ran his eye over the orderly
pile and made a quick calculation.
One hundred and ffty-six,' came
the ready response.
