Some COQuetfSh frlDDericS

There is really no describing the
smartening influence Of the myriad lit
lie lace and embroidery details of the
fashionable woman's toilette, and this
fact was never more apparent than this
season. when so many tailored and semi
tailored frOcks are embellished with
separate chemisettes, revers. cuffs, etc.
of nandwork of all kinds. Fichus of all
kinds have won Partisan favor, and CO.
quettish effects are obtained by their
clever manipulation, even though they
be ever so simple and inexpensive.

Novelties in NIR

Sheer silk gauzes with Chinese and
Japanese borders attest the popularity
of Oriental effects in hand trimmings.
They are made up effectively by the
leading dressmaking establishments, and
here. too, unpretentious lines are the
correct thing. As a rule the skirts
boast no trimming save the border OF
embroidery. unless il be a few tucks
above, scattered their own distance
apart. and possible panel effect down
the front, with narrow inserts of lace

Character Told
in The H0HdcIasp

Those people who clasp their hands
with two fingers between the thumb and
finger instead Of the usual one are
probably very deceitfui. To lay the left
hand fat in the lap and clasp the
right firmly over is a sign Of obstinacy.
Business capacity is shown if the left
fingers are curved inward. To clasp
the hands together very tightly, running
the fingers down as far as they will
go, shows. It is said, that the character
is sincere, but if the left thumb be
uppermOst and the right little finger
concealed n the left palm. a secretive
nature though not one necessarily IN
truthful, is denoted.
Thoughtfulness and consideration for
the feelings Of others are shown if
when the elbows are placed on desk

Aasped tightly. A keen intellect and
great self-conhdence are possessed by
the man who interisces his fingers ana

Character

Character is but another name FOR
backbone. for individuality.
The beginning of good character is
sincerity. Insist upon doing the thing
that seems to you right
Persist in saying the thing that seems
TO you 20 be true.
Never allow yourself to consent, even
tentatively, TO things that seem to you
false.
Nothing short OF this is sincerity.
Nothing short Of this viii lead to a
good character.
Character is the greatest heart tonic
in the world. II quickens the cirCuIa-
ton. strengthens the heart beats. flush
IS the cheeks with blood.
II gives strength to the nerves and
expression to the face.
It is composed Of equal parts of sin
certify, courage, and human sympathy
It IS a tonic that should be taken every
day, the whole year around.
II Is a drugless remedy in reach Of
every one. II costs money effort but
It never fails 10 give good returns.
Character throws out its threads OF
usefulness everywhere, in standing for

in working for the good Of The whole
