BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as 1t may seem, New
York women have lately discovered a
way of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that if she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep.
tion Of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un-
duly straining the fastenings. So sim
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is it possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept it to themselves? Will
the waist that buttons in the back
now have new lease of life?

Mr.. eaATEsAR TO PHILIP.
Courage with Most Men Largely
Matter of Money or Health.

Some men, Philip" said Mr.. Crate
bar, ARE naturally timid, and some
are constitutionally courageous, but
you can set it down for a fact that
with most men courage is largely a
matter of money or of health.
81 commend to you, Philip, the ac-
QUESTION of means sufficient to make
you Independent of the ordinary vicis-
situdes of life. Put by enough to live
on, an amount that need not be very
great. But save an amount sufficient
to yield you such an income; scrimp
for it, if necessary. 1t will be a rock
of refuge to you in every way, and a
constant backing of added strength
in prosperity. Save money, Philip, if
you would be free. -...
But if you can't do this in min
ute here is something that you can
do now; you can begin putting in
what is, after all, with most of us
the bedrock foundation of courage,
oDd so of success, namely, good
health.
To get down to details, thousands of
men have lost chances that might
have led them on to great results by
so simple thing as cutting off their
hours of sleep and turning up for
work slow and dopy. There is no one
thing that so smothers and stunts
courage as to lose sleep. | say moth
ing of courage killing dissipation, for
to that, know you would not de-
scend.
THE young man caring for himself
develops health and strength and vigor
and courage. He's fit. He wants to
grapple with things; he wants respon-
sibility.
He doesn't shy at anything Hard
tasks are easy to him, and the harder
they are the better he likes them.
Work is joy to him. He can do
things, and he isn't afraid; he's man
of courage, and that's the sort of man
the world is looking for.
These things may seem homely to
say to you, but they are true. You
want the money, that moderate inde-
pendence that shall make you free,
and you must get it; but not at the
cost of your health. With broken
health, however much money you may
have, you'll be timid, irresolute and
of no account
THE one all important thing for
you to look to now is your health.
Build up a stout body, Philip, and
you'll have stout heart, and to men
of stout heart the world is easy."-N.
Y. Sun.

Now is the time to get the rheu-

Pattern No. 5769.-The usefulness
of this pattern will be apparent at
once to the economical woman, as it
is well known that the soles of stock
ings wear out long before the leg por-
ton, and have to be darned over and
over again. This pattern gives two
different soles, both equally good and
shaped SO that the seams will not
cause any discomfort to the wearer,
as darned stockings sometimes do.
Expensive silk stockings may be
made to do duty twice as long when
refooted in this wSy. The upper part
of the old stocking will cut the soles
