Tit for tat" is a great deal more
of a national game than football, if
m may judge by the number of play
ers and the hours of play.
Men and women of all rank and
every degree Of culture find more or
less pleasure in getting even'' with
their fellow creatures for fancied as
well as reed injuries.
Few, indeed. are those who are above
spite, even where their closest friends
are concerned.
We might forgive this disposition in
children on the grounds that they
know no better; that the instincts Of
their medieval ancestors, each n of
whom was for himself, are but assert
ing themselves. But there is no ex-
cuse for adults, except that they can
not seem to help it.
A woman will give a small dinner
party. One cannot invite all of ones
friends to such an affair." so she leaves
out her particular chum. h follow
ing week the particular chum gives a
dinner party and leaves the first
woman out for the sole purpose of
getting even.
The entire social world is dominated
by Just such tactics. And it is the
woman whom the greatest majority
fear to injure who comes nearest to
being a leader.
The same spirit is found in no small
degree in the business world. / have
often heard of cases where men have
sacrificed both money and opportunity
for rax,anoa OtberS hovn hold Snifa
for years and years until an opportunity
came to settle
The spirit of forgiveness is talked of
a great deal. 1t is also made the sub
ject of lengthy essays.
But it is not often found in every
day life, and more's the pity.

THE TAILOR MADE
GIRL OF 1907.

Her skirt is short-a good fve inches
from the ground.
1t is the new walking skirt, a flare
skirt, band-trimmed with the same mate
rial.
The pattern is made, usually, with
min or eleven cores.
Two narrow bands n one wide one
are frequently used for the Trimming.
Her smart coat is semi-htting, half re-
,vealing and half concealing the trim fig
ure.
1t is a thirty-inch-length coat, which is
quite the most approved coat to wear with
the new short skirts.
1t Is very annish in cut and finish, and
the sleeves reach straight to the wrist;
Just the conventional two-piece coat sleeve
is used with the velvet cuff.
The turn-down collar is also of velvet,
but the lapels are of cloth.
A novel feature of the coat is the
pockets.
There are as many as four of them
sometimes, much to the delight of the
wearer, who is quick to tell you that she
mas rebelled against being known as the
pocketless woman, and therefore Is going
IN Tor as many pockets as she wants.
Ihe materials are serge, Worsted chew
lots or mannish suitings Of, any kind.
A great deal of soutache braid is used
as trimmings for these SUITS.

THE BEST WAY TO
CLEAN CUT GLASS.

A small paint brush with long. strong,
supple bristles Is the very best thing with
which to keep cut glass free from dust.
1t is really the only means of reaching
the dust which lodges in small carvings.
TO wash cut glass use borax in the
water, and the result will be sparkling,
shining glass that glistens as brilliantly as
1t did when new.
III a cut glass cruet has become stained
with vinegar sediment, or a vase with
sediment from flowers, or any piece of
glass where it is hard to reach into to
wash, chop up a peeled raw potato and
put into bottle with sufficient water or
suds to just cover the potato.
Leave 1t for several hours, giving an
occasional shaking, empty and rinse well.
II necessary, repeat. The results will
be found most satisfactory.
