The Heart Of a Child.

That which dfsparages us and
quickens revolt is NO less a factor in
. child's emotional life. But there IL
this difference. We have the better
opportunity to defend ourselves and
to obtain PREPARATION. So there is q
certain pathetic pleasure in standing
with humanity where its Joys, long.
ings. its embarrassmeuts and its
disappointments are simplest and
newest. and. perforce. where impo-
tency is absolute.
Give me this most monumental,
this divinest. Of enterprises for my
own! Give me child to be at home
with, to be in absolute confidence
with! II l cannot rasashion my
warped, wrinkled and discolored old
soul into the unbiased graces and the
ethereal purity Of the spirit of the
child. let me now and again open that
little door and shut myself in that lit.
tie heart. Just for the sheer delight Of
it.-Patterson Du Bots. in Success

Of the moment in the realm of Jewell
ry is the sudden revival Of the antique
as regards both the settings and the
gems themselves. Old fashioned and
cumbersome brooches. massive chains,
heavy gold or enamel buckles and
enormous iockets of ponderous weight
are nowadays as much valued by the
fashionable world as was the delicate
Italian filigree work which was 80
much In vogue few years ago. Stones
whose homes had perhaps almost been
forgotten and Of whose existence no
one excepting perhaps the stone.cut-
ters themselves were aware are once

the latest schemes, and are responsible
not only for letter weights. trinket
boxes and such personal matters as
umbrella tops and charms, but are be-
ing turned to account as jewelry of q
definite character.

New York. December The slop-
ing shoulders seems to DO slowly
growing into favor again. Whether
its progress will be arrested by other
styles that creep in during its advance
In popularity has yet to be seen.
Just now many of the dressiest
gowns have pun at the top Of the
short sleeves and the more elaborate
the gown and pronounced its style the
higher up the PUT is placed. A Dress
maker who has q conservative Glen
tele of folk who wear a gown through
a season said yesterday that this high
pun is one Of the most trying fash
ions to persona with long arms, as It
accentuates the length between the
upper arm and the wrist. Moreover,
believing It to be floating mode she
advises women who expect to wear un-
til spring gowns made now, to adopt
the more moderate shapes, which
brings the puff to the elbow.
The sloping shoulders are in evil
dence in separate winter wraps of all
classes and in tailor made suits. A
few very original models. Of too evil
dent intent to depart from routine
fashions, have their sleeves plain at
the top and flaring into fulness at the
back Of the arm toward the elbow In

shapes to which we were subjected
to two or three years ago.

There is in each of us the same kind

mon men capitalized. The impression
that we make upon others is a repro

man can give to others what he him

worthy thing to make the most of
ourselves. The apostle Paul once
wrote: "Covet earnestly the best
gifts" Needless to say, whatever the
gift-natural or cultivated-it must be
used for the good of mankind. That
man who uses it simply for his own

have been dinging into the ears Of
American workingmen for several
years. The correspondence is interest

has realized every day of his life. The
correspondent says:
Without specific information, it is
assumed thatt he figure sharps are
now comfortably under way with their
biennial manufacture of statistics
about he redundant prosperity of this
country, the unprecedented abundance,
and the danger that folks will have to
overfeed and become spendthrffts in
order to get rid of the wealth that is
coming so easy. Likewise we assume
that some new changes are presently
to be rung on the balance of trade
demonstration thatt he whole outside
world is impoverishing itself in order
to make us richer. Figures don't lie,
and this is going to be good season
for the liars not to figure. The repeti-
ton of the story about the decreasing
cost of living has passed the point
where it no longer appeals even to
the sense Of humor. Living costs
more, and is getting to cost still more
every year and every months. The
problem of making ends meet presents
itself with increasing force at every
moths end An increasing number of
people, right in the midst of these
prosperous times, is giving it up in
despair.
Work? Yes, there is work for ev-
erybody, though not everybody finds
it. But the problem of today is not
problem of the unemployed. It is the
problem of the hard working masses
of people whose hard work doesn't pro-
duce enough decently and self-respect-
ingly to feed and c1othe and house
them. 1t is the problem of an insig-
nificant minority of people who are
overworked in the effort to separate
themselves from the increasing share
of unearned increment that falls to
them. In short, it is the problem of
prosperity rather than of adversely,
that confronts the community

tire energies be devoted to making

At the meeting of the committee

paid to the union printers of Lincoln

post of honor at the head of the parade
in recognition of the unparalleled fight
the printers are putting up to secure
the eight hour day. The proposition

fight of the printers is largely the fight
of organized labor throughout the
country. 1t was also agreed that the
allied crafts be given places in line

of the other unions will be decided by
lots drawn in the usual way.
