A WOman'S Clothes
and Their Purpose

Said girl specialist. speaking of dress
and OF going: I used TO stay at home
If l didn't have something which espec-
tally fitted the occasion, but now l go
everywhere If ! dor I seem to have a rag
TO wear. The important part IS the con-
sciousness that YOU are Well gowned
enough to Mt in and play your part in
the affair If I have 10 wear an old
gown / try 10 think why | was invited
! know that in general way the
strength and the insists OF my wardrobe
are known to my hostess and all my
friends quite as we'll as they are TO my
self.
While in an unconscious way a host
ess considers them as part of one. il
would be absurd To think that she invit-
ed me simply in the expectation that ]
should wear something different or new.
Only common sense and justice TO her
make me remember that she has picked
me out for some other reason Il is be-
cause L am an essential part Of some
group that IS 10 be there or because
of some way that / can contribute that
she has invited me.
My success all is a matter q irving
to see what this is and playing no TO it.
Of course, it is easier To get into the
part if you feel that you are dressed for
il. You make better start But il /
go holding fast TO this other idea. il is
only a matter of getting there 10 get nv
cue. a glance is enough to show me
that there are others both better and
worse off in dress, and that l III in just
as we'll in what 1 have on as l would
have done in anything else.
THE whole point IS TO be in something
i'm which you are unconscious of your
self Ii is better this way than TO wear
a new thing which YOU are not used TO
vet and which constantly is getting into
your mind.
There is just as much art in knowing
how TO be a success in being entertained
as to succeed as an entertainer. and
of clothes is rock upon
which most people wreck themselves. on
,he whole there is more need for going
to the other extreme and prepare for
feeling at ease in a new gown which |
won't become part of you readily by
putting IL on to come down to see some
body in or even to lounge in il once or
twice around home.

No Fresh Air In London.

There is no fresh air in the heart
of London, according to the conclu-
sions of recent Investigator. He
says: mo evidence of ozone was any
where appPrent, except at Browns
wood Park, in the northeast. 1t was
from the northeast quarter the wind
was blowing and the air had lost all
trace of ozone before 1t had reached
Hyde Park; at Bushey Pork, although
practically country district, no ozone
was present in the air London had
not only distracted the goodness out
Of the air tn 1t swept over 1t, but had
added to 1t the exhalations from the

or two mile radius of Charing Cross

dwellings at any time"

How One Girl Found a Husband.

All pretty girls travelling are not ad'
vised to follow the example set by
the heroine of this true story. Last
week Miss Droop of Washington was
married to a young merchant Of Bre-
men after he had journeyed far to
find the lady Of his love. Two years
ago Miss Droop, with friends, was
travelling from Bremen to Berlin when
a handsome man entered the car. He
proceeded to read a German paper.
She said to another girl How fine
looking he is. wouldn's mind being
married to German II could get
such handsome one" She spoke in
English, and the young man sat with
stolid countenance, as II he
couldn't understand a word. Really,
he knew English thoroughly. The
marriage is the sequel.

how to ventilate. The "Tthor depicts
the unhygienic condltloi { existing in
most places of public assemblage,
owing to the lack of fres' air, and says
that the need for reform in this re-
gard is also great in ""ivate dwell

overworking, overheating and lack of

of utilizing he roofs of dwelling
houses as sources of fresh air, by con-
structing roof gardens.

wise, was fond of a good game OF

evening when the minister said;

Brother Blank was too far in

the debt from the little church at
Georgetown, Me-, one summer, ten or
twelve years ago. He asked each
member to give 81. Most of the bro

the amount, but one old farmer was
loath to part with his mite. Meeting
him one morning on the wharf, the
minister asked him again for the dol.

Jump into the water and you get
It," was the reply.
Without a word, and much to the

gentleman plunged into the water, and
when he scrambled up on to the
wharf the dollar was handed to him
amid the laughter of the lookers.on.

by saying that the tree absorbs the

that It keeps the sunlight away from

these explanations are true, the real
reason most probably beng that the
