The Fashions of the Day

other day We noticed one that seemed
to make the costume. It formed part
of an ail-white toilet, the material of
the small wrap a beautiful, rather
heavy linen lace. 1t was a half loose
little coat, and of course the sleeves
were chopped off at the elbow The

ticeable on outing hats.
The little coffee coats are of az
elaboration, but skirts are plainest ct
the plain. A well cut and fitted pa n
skirt always has more stye than te-
trimmed one, the lines following these

swers many purposes, adds a dressy
touch to a costume, hides deficiencies
and is just the thing to throw on at
home when an unexpected visitor ar
rives. No wonder it has taken such
hold in the world of fashion.
A very pretty dance frock for a
young girl is made of pink organdy,
and is an exception to the plain-skirt
dictum just laid down. But dance
frocks may be exceptions-so long as
they are pretty and becoming. The
skirt is just a succession of fiounces,
the lowest about ten inches wide, a
fiounce decreasing in width one inch as
1t ascends, save that those about the
hips are of like size and the skirt is
constructed OF many lace-edged ruffles,
and also the sleeves. There is round
baby yoke, with low Dutch neck, CT
lace insertion. The girdle is of pink
liberty silk with long streamers at the
middle of the front.
The tulle boas, both colored and
those of white or black, are worn with
pleasing effect by tall women; but, the
short woman should not take to ruffs.
For her the low neck, which fortunate

cut Is becoming to the stout lady, and
gives more slenderness than the Dutch
neck. But tulle boas, or no tulle boas

little Jacket was closed in front by
buckle-adorned black velvet ribbon

pretty against the beautiful lace.
A number of refreshing simple hats
are worn with the simple morning tub
frocks, trimming reduced to the lowest
terms. One charming black chip sail
Or has twined about its crown a
wreath of crimson ramblers, a blue
sailor a garland of baby white roses,
an all white hat a careless spray of
daisies and nothing else. And the lit
tie frocks themselves are so fresh and
neat, as a rule one-piece dresses.

have no terrors for the wash lady.
With these waists lace and embroidery

Robert Lee Morrell, chairman of the
Automobile association, started out for

and everything worked finely until he
reached Broadway and Seventy-Second

He worked away until he was rapid

Single Talents and self-confidence

Single Talents and Self Confidence
A single-talent man, supported by
great self-confidence, will achieve more
than a ten-talent man who does not be-
lieye in himself. The mind cannot act
with vigor in the presence of doubt. A
wavering mind makes wavering exc
cution. There must be certainty, con-
fidence and assurance. or there can be
70 efficiency. An uneducated man who
believes in himself, and who has faith
that he can do the thing he undertakes.
often puts to shame the average college
bred man, whose oyerculture and wider
outlook have sometimes bred increased
sensitiyeness and lessening of self
confidence, whose decision has been
weakened by constant weighing of con-
fiicting theories, and whose prejudices
are always open to conviction.-SuccAs-

Lincoln the LAWYER.

It liz conceded by all his contempt
raries that Lincoln was the best all
around jury lawyer of his day in II
