Value OF Little Things

Just because we may not meet the
fellow-voyager on life's journey again,
should we miss the opportunity OF Ieav-
ing pleasant instead Of a painful i'm
preston?
1t is very trite to talk OF making peo-
pie happy by small kindnesses, but the
person who thinks OF anything save
himself knows that life is made up OF
little hurts and little joys.
That the only way to confer happiness
is to be careful I'm the small things as
we go along.
One need not confde their innermost
thoughts or secrets TO casual acquaint-
ances, but they can avoid woundine
those they come in contact with by an
excess OF dignity or a discouraging in
vulnerability OF manner.
There is no position so exalted that
does not render any human being ride
ulous who assumes airs because Of It.
There is no Sift or talent so rare that
they would not be robbed of half their
worth If they lack the setting Of gra-
ciOuS manners.

Causes Of wrinkles

4 person may have hair nearly or
quite white. but If the skin is fair
and smooth they will look prematurely
gray. You do not hear OF people be-
ing prematuFely wrinkled, although
many are, yet they are spoken OF as
looking old Many young people have
n disagreeable habit Of scowling and
frowning. and as they grow older the
creases formed will become fixed Pro-
found meditation, deep study, worry,
and anxiety all cause wrinkles IN the
upper part Of the face OF course we
know a face without any lines would
be eXpressiOnless. but there IS little
danger of any effort on our part eras-
ing too many. The skin In youth not
only is firm but elastic. Hence the mo-
mcntHry expressions. even II frequently
repeated, disappear. In later years the
elasticity is lost. and expressions oft
repeated form permanent folds in the
skin.

COrnS and the Feet

The feet get even with US and show
their resentment in cOrns and bunions
and we suffer accordingly discomfort
that with little daily care might have
been avoided. II is not too much 20 say
that ones feet should have even more
care than ones hands. The fact thar

Cased In stockings and shoes all dav Is

What LOndOncrS Think
OF the Ladies' Luncheon

The luncheon party Of women. a form
OF entertainment very much in favor In
This country. has been introduced into
London this season, and is evidently
viewed with alarm and displeasure In
certain circles. In one of the leading
weekly periodicals Of the English capi-
tai woman writer thus expresses ner-
self regarding this latest phase OF the
American Invasion:
This idiosyncrasy Of modern man is
responsible for that new terror of Ion
don society. the latest iunch-one OF
those strange customs imported from
America which we could do so nicely
without To the experienced hostess the
feminine lunch is a sign Of social fail
ure and diminution of personal charm.
And. in truth, there is something pathet-
1cally forlorn about these midday Adam
less banquets. TO the mere man the
spectacle OF twenty peerless beauties.
peacocking in their best friIls without
n single specimen Of the other sex. and
pretending to enjoy a long and costlr
meal, is simply amazing. I am far
from denying that a woman's party can
be one of the most soCiable and divert
ing OF festivities, butt all depends
on the women. Unfortunately. the kind
OF hostess who has to fall back on the
ladies lunch as an entertainment has
not generally the art to draw around
her the intellect and wit Of the day. At
these womens parties the conversation
Is apt TO turn on chiffOns. small scan

be II spoken. the iniquities of maids and
chauffeurs. The whole thing is too often
simply a procession of unnecessary
dishes, accompanied by dress. parade,
where the banking book scores and per

should be sternly discountenanCed. 1t

bound rule for sleeves is that the Icus

An INDUSTRIAL ACHIEVEMENT.

If you have not already read An In
dustrial Achievement" it behooves you to
secure copy and peruse the absorbingly
interesting story of how a small manufac-
turing business which started out with
the manuf acture of air pistols, has through
the application of foresight. pluck and
commercial sagacity. been developed into
an automobile and bicycle business which
now supports immense plants at Hartford,
Conn, Toledo, Ohio, Indianapolis, Ind,
Elyria, Ohio, Hagerstown, Md, and
West6eld, Mass
The Buffalo News says of this publica.
ton: This is the great Pope concern,
OF which Col. Albert A. Pope is the head,
and whose products in the line Of motor
cars and bicycles are known wherever in
tine world mechanical power has been put
forward as q substitute for animal power
in transportation. The story as told in
this beautifully printed, handsomely IL
Illustrated and artistically bound volume
from the Bartlett Orr press, New York,
reads almost like q romance and makes
the reader marvel that SO hmitless an in
dustry could have been developed from a
little business started in Boston just after
the Civil War with money saved from q
soldiers pay. Read the story-it will do
you good"

step. 1t is true that the divine mad
ness too soon passes; the reaction
comes; one Is restored sharply to the
normal poise by the rude awakening
that comes with failure or with self
consciousness. But sometimes conse-
quences are already set in motion,
and it is too late to draw back; there
is nothing for it but to be borne on
ward with the tide.
So it was with me. I might return
to America-take up the threads of
life where | had. left them-laugh at
the newspaper accounts of the tragedy
deny them, or at least live them
down. If ! did that, / should know
exactly what would happen to me. /
could count upon just how much hap
piness would come to my life, how
much interest routine and duty would
yield me.
But my imagination had been set
aflame. A world of chivalry and ro-
nance beckoned to me alluringly.
And If / trod the maZes of that fairy
world, there would be none to ridicule,
for there would be none to know that
had set out to find it, If it proved
to be only a world of dreams and fan
tasy, / should at least have had the
delicious excitement of seeking it, of
playing make-believe-the most fas-
