in better health, mentally and physically, if she
knows that people like her.
Up to a certain point, then, vanity s vir-
tue; beyond that point is becomes vice.
In the case of the girl in the car it had de-
generated into vice, and had, in fact, become
passion. She thirsted after admiration as a
man does for strong drink, and she was willing
to go to any lengths to obtain it.
She was totally unconscious of the fact that
her behavior was ill-bred, or that her loud con-
versatior was annoying to her fellow-passengers
She did not realize that, instead of admiring her,
they were looking upon her with contempt
She was so intoxicated with her own undeniable
good looks, that she thought everybody else must
either also be intoxicated with them or must be-
come so at once. She looked upon herself as the
centre Of attraction, and would have considered
a suggestion that other people did not think so
as the height of absurdity.
Moreover, her vanity had overcome her COM
mon sense that she had lost all conception of
fitting her dress to the occasion. She was de-
termined to wear her prettiest clothes all the
time "a matter how out of place they might be,
and wa. now going to work attired as if for
matinee.
Her vanity, instead of being useful TO her, had
become a real detriment, for she did not under
stand that it was as much a part Of the privacy
OF her own room as her powder puff, her box OF
cold cream, or any other accessory of her toilet

pie in the car, but was nevertheless so accustomed
to her vanity that she looked upon it indulgenty'
as one would the faults of irresponsible child
A DESIRABLE VEIN OF VANITY.
The vanity in itself was not harmful in fact
it is a woman's duty to be little vain, in order
that she may have sufficient self respect to dress
herself neatly and becomingy. But it is also
the part of wisdom to keep the existence of this
vanity secret for its advantages land they are
many are not generally recognized.
People condemn woman who is vain, but if
she is pretty they will generally admit that she
has an excuse. | say, generally, for there are
times when her vanity and her beauty together
cause her to lose the good will of her friends If
she has friend who is also pretty, this friend
is not apt to want her around too often, for fear
she may spoil her operations This other girl
knows that the beauty in itself is danger, but
that the vanity offers too many temptations to
make it safe to encourage visits.
The vanity also Jcauses her to think too much
of herself and too little of others. The result
is that she is selfish and bad tempered when
her desires are crossed
She has spent much time in looking in the
glass that she has come to think that everything
and everybody must, as a matter of course, give
way to such beauty as hers. She is entirely self
centred and extremely self-conscious.
For these reasons a vain woman is generally
condemned, but if she has the tact to keep peo-
pie guessing the extent of her vanity, then what
might have been vice becomes really virtue.
Vanity is that which makes a girl of sixteen
put a large pink ribbon in her hair, and an old
lady put some soft white lace around her neck
and wrists.
II is really that which constitutes woman's
greatest charm, ii kept, of course, within proper
bounds Without it pretty woman would still
be pretty, but with it, she becomes beautiful, for
careful study of her mirror has taught her wis
dom,
She has learned what colors are best suited
to her complexion. what mode of dressing her
hair is most becoming aud thousand important
matters which, without vanity, she could never
have learned.

After the painting has been attended to, the
next thing to be thought of is the climate" of
the porch, II one may so speak II insufferably
hot the question Of vines and trellises must be
looked into, and some quick-growing varieties of
vines may be procured at very small cost. If
there is a man around the house who can put up
some laths to form trellis, so much the better,
but il not wire cloth" in various sizes of mesh
may be bought for comparatively little money.
When painted leafgreen, or even the color of the
porch, this will be found an excellent substitute
for the wooden tres-work, although the latter
is, OF course, more artistic. After all, when the
vines have grown, It will not matter what kind of
supports they have.

done Prairie grass furniture is peculiarly suit
ed to the porch, and il, in addition TO the round
table, utility box footstool can be accommodated
somewhere the furniture win be complete.
Rugs are very seldom Necessary but there can
not be too many cushions. The new Thread
and Thrum" cushions, whose woven covers re-
mind one Of the old rag carpet days, are very
quaint and pretty.
A few "don'ts" in conclusion.
Don't have jardineres on the floor waiting 10
trip the unwary visitor.
Don't have rustic baskets hanging from the cell
ing ready to bump the heads or catch in the hats
Of your guests.
Don't have anything on the porch that is mere
ly ornamental without having rhyme reason
to account for its presence
Don't have more furniture than can be kept
well busted, as nothing is more annoying than to
ruin a frock with dust from ones hostess porch
chairs.
Most important Of all. don't, after having made
the porch haven Of rest and beauty, worry lest
some vandal may scratch the paint, or disarrange
the sofa cushions. Better a thousand times re-
turn to the old days of blistered paint and gen
eral dreariness than turn the porch into that
horror of horrors-a "best parlor."
Life was made to enjoy; so were porches. Let
us make the most Of both, and, having done 80.
enjoy them to the best of our ability.

VSAaA-1yy way TO Jne OInce. One OF tnem was
very pretty, with smooth complexion
and bright eyes, the other, apparently used as
foil by her companion, pale and hollow
checked, with hair that>hung around her face in
long strands.
The pretty girl kept her hair from stringing by
means of fascinating veil, and the rest of her
attire, while it bore out the air of neatness sug
gested by the VEIL was nevertheless far too dressy
to wear to an office.
She had on white silk waist, with short
sleeves and long black gloves, black cloth skirt
neatly fitting grdle and black sailor ties which
permitted glimpse of fancy hosiery.
She was very pretty and very good to look
at, and what was more, she knew it.
She also knew how well she showed off by con
trast with her companion, and all the way down
town she was engaged in attempting to impress
these superior qualities of hers upon her fellow
passengers.
She talked incessantly about all her private
affairs in tone of voice as unrestrained as if
she had been in the privacy of her own room
The main theme of her discourse was "Dick,"
and long before she got off, everybody in the car
was well acquainted with 'Dick" and knew that
he worked at the same place she did
She had very pretty teeth, so she laughed every
now and then-as people do at an afternoon tea
-at nothing at ALL She also made various ges-
lures in order that her fellowpassengers might
get the full effect of her long gloves.
The other girl had tired look in her eyes
and the corners of her mouth dropped. She
listened to all her companion had to say, but
she said very little herself, offering only a few
monosyllables now and then in low tone, SO
as to punctuate the others discourse.
She never smiled either, but returned an al
most unchanged expression to her companions 3
animated eountenance, speaking eyes and frequent
laughter.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-24

She has discovered, for instance, that if her
face is round she should not wear her hair too
much puffed at the sides; that if she is tall she
should wear it up; and if she is short, she should
fix it low at the back of her neck. She had
learned that if she has not much color she should
wear pink, and never red or yellow, and that,
much as possible, she should have her gowns
to match her eyes.
NATURE IMPROVED UPON.
/ once knew woman, who, attired in kimono,
was extremely pretty, but who, dressed and ready
for the street, was the most beautiful woman
had ever seen. Long practice and study
had taught her how to improve upon nature.
Even an ugly woman can improve her appear
ance by means of little vanity and fixed
desire to become good looking. She can look
into the hygiene of beauty a little bit and dis
cover that plenty of Sleep cold plunges, brisk
walks in the morning and abstinence from tea,
coffee and sweets, are conducive to a good com
plexion; and if she has good complexion, the
battle is half won.
As a womans chief function is considered TO
be largely decorative, she should endeavor to live
up to it and TO make herself as charming as
possible Other people will certainly like her
better il she gets herself up beeominely, and
with woman it is primary object Of life
to make herself liked. She certainly feels herself

fSIW1l mas Deen salo-we know not with how
I&L much truth-that of all things the dust

Sun. 1t is the flag under which she
prefers to march, defending it to the
utmost against the skeptical jibes of mere man.

No, dusting is busting. Countless generations
of women have busted just that way and it is
the only way Let man attend to his own bust

Yet the matter has its serious side. Health
is impaired by the prevailing method. Being
