Cure for Crows Feet.


The following little sermon may be
taken to heart by man as well as
woman. In business or the home life
IL is equally applicable and breathes
OF the best spirit to be preserved in all
vicissitudes of life: BE sunny" has
grown to be something of catchword,
but IL Is pretty good all-around
motto for everyday life as well. The
cook may have gone away in a tenn
per on the very day of your dinner
party--it's way cooks haye--or the
dressmaker may have failed to send
home your new frock in time for Mrs.
So-and-So's reception, but frowns and
tears and grumblings will not help mat
ters in either case. Ii may be that
the world contains other cooks, or
even that the same one may be in
duced to return in time to save the
day. And If not, why not pitch right
in and do the best you can yourself
with the best grace you can muster?
IL your dinner does not turn out quite
as well as you would like, just make
guests laugh with you. Bless you,
they too, have troubles of their own
and they will relish almost any sort
OF a repast that is served with laugh

did not come, why, since you must do
without it in any event, just do with
frocks. possibly, and If you furnish
one of them up a bit and wear it with
your lightest heart and your gladdest
smile, people will simply wonder why
they never knew before how pretty
you are and how tastefully you dress.
That is, the people who count for any
thing. And as for the others, who
cares about what they think, any way?

in the expressive slang of the day,

just as much as worrying-only it is
a good deal pleasanter for yourself
and everybody else. Get the habit,
then; and the first thing you know the

atmosphere they find themselves SO

Insurance.

The New York legislature is fully meeting
the wishes of those who have demanded re-
form in insurance methods in that state
Bills prepared in the light of the Armstrong
committee exposures are being enacted into
law and the way is being cleared for
thorough restoration Of confidence in the
business world in the great insurance COM
panes. 1t would be idle to deny that conf
dence was for a time rudely shaken. Men
everywhere wondered at practices which
seemed to have had widespread approval
among insurance officials, but which were
violative of both moral principle and busi-
ness sagacity. The new statutes, drawn by
able lawyers and experienced legislators,
should accomplish all for which they are in
tended. and enable the man with an insur-
ance policy to sleep o nights. At any rate
it is certain to be long time before he is
again as much disturbed as he has recently
been.

Thus in nearly every respect the ex-
penses of Washington are greater than
those Of larger cities equally well governed.
Such a condition is unfortunate and seems
to demand the remedial arm of legislative
curtafiment.'
Mr.. Morrells deductions are no stronger
than his statistics, and the value OF all his
statistics must be measured by their weak
est aspect. The Star has previously shown
the fallacy of many of his tables. This
library paragraph is further proof that
these successive chapters on local extrav-
agance are not safely to be regarded by
the House of Representatives as guides to
the path of District legislation. The only
safe course for representatives and senators
to pursue in enacting laws for the capital
District Is to determine to give 1t the best
obtainable in the form of municipal equip
ment and to make sure that the cost of the
best is not unnecessarily high. There is a
great difference between economy with good
results and economy with bad results. and
one of the surest ways to get the latter
kind is to compare the capital with other
cities in certain details and 10 give the
doubt always against Washington. No
comparisons are safe unless they are based
