"Oh, dear. what's the use? I'm too
tired to bother about changing my
dress or doing anything to amuse my
self, all l want to do is go to bed" is
the answer a girl gave a friend who in
vited her to hear a concert one night
last week.
She had been working hard for a few
weeks, and like a great many more who
are obliged to work, she had gotten
into a rut.
The WEAKNESS of her life of monoton-
Gus routine was upon her, to such an
extent that she had lost courage and
interest in the bright things of life.
Which, of course, was all wrong.
The girl who goes to business every
day, and who is responsible to her en-
ployers for certain duties, is in great
danger of getting into a rut. She Is
obliged to follow a certain routine, as
1t were, inc she is often so tired at the
end of her days work as to be indiffer-
ent as to how she shall spend her
leisure hours. She ~retires in the same
frame of mind as she arose In, and
through the entire day her mental atti-
tude remains the same.
Is it any wonder that her ideas are
often warped and distorted? Hardly,
when she leads such a hum-drum life.
A young girl in one of the Broad
street stores told me today that she Is
in bed every night at 9'o'clock. IF I
am out of bed later one night" she
said, 81 feel 1t for a week. l simply
canno lose my Sleep
To keep well a person needs a GER
tain amount of sleep, to be sure, but
one needs a little recreation as well,
and that's just where so many business
girls make a mistake.
They should have pleasant associa-
tions and should aim to get as much
enjoyment out of their leisure time as
possible.
Do you know that changing your
dress in the evening and taking a
brisk walk after dinner will go a great
way toward breaking the monotony?
1t seems a small thing, but it will work
wonders.
So many. girls deny themselves the
least pleasure in life. 1 know girls who
never saw the inside of a theatre in all
lives, not because they were preju-
diced at all, but because they never
saw the use,' or because it was fool
ish expense"
1t isn't foolish at all, girls, and 1t
isn't an expense either. when you figure
the benefits you derive. Go to the the
atre occasionally, or hear some good
music. 1t will give you a complete
change of mind.
And that's just what the most of us
need. Something else to think about.
Keep up your interest in life. Get
out of the rut, and don't get In the
habit of saying whats the use?"

THE DECORATIVE
BUTTERFLY.

November seems a late date to talk of
butterflies for decorative purposes, but
they are so highly in favor just now in
decorating the table that the demand has
brought forth some little gauzy fellows
from the tlssue-lined boxes in the stores.
There are gauzy-winged butterflies Of tulle,
silk, tlnsel and Jaw specimens in black,
brown, deep purple, yellow and all colors.
They are perched airily upon the flowers,
over the doilies, ever upon the dishes, and
some are seen on the hair of the little
hostess or over her gown. Really the
society butterflies can truly enjoy a butter
fly existence with so many clever little
ones for decorative purposes. Then the
butterfly is fast taking the place Of lockets
in jewelry and the miniature glass AFFAIRS,
gold trimmed, reflect jewels beneath, which
look exactly like the kind that hovers
over summer roses. Some. of the lockets
are really made with butterflies, carefully
covered with thinnest glass and gold
trimmed. They are attached to thin gold
chains and are worn the same as lockets.

CHINESE TRIMMINGS
TO THE FORE.

Chinese bands will be used for the deco
ration of bodices Of both silk and. clotn
costumes.
They will be used in surplice effects, for
revers, for the bordering of the wide man
DARN sleeves and for the covering of but
tons.
The Chinese embroidery worked out In
typical Chinese design and colorings IS
very good.
The same designs worked out in com
binations of various shades of blue, worked
on a black background, will be greatly IA
vored.
Then there are the old gold effects
worked on a satin ground of that color,
and sometimes carried out in the blue
tones.
Certain dull soft shades of red also en-
ter into the general Chinese scheme of
color. and a gold thread Is used in many
instances to accent the beauty Of design.

The People She Likes.

do you want to know which people
l like the best" demanded a young
woman the other day, after a long talk
with a group of chums about their
likes and dislikes.
"Yes," came in a chorus, for she was
always singing the praises Of some new
friend. and her likes were almost un-
limited.
1.-THE ones who like me-" she said
with a laugh. Somehow or other 1
just cannot help warming to people
who are particularly nice to me and
who seem to enjoy my company, while
1 can hardly be agreeable to those who
seem to dislike me.
ST know 1t sounds rather ridiculous"
she went on, but / cannot help 1t.
How can I be nice to people when I
feel constrained In their presence, and
that is the way I always feel when I
imagine people do not care for me and
are wishing I was somewhere else.
Why, I've known myself to almost
hate people when I first met them, be-
GAUGE I was sure they hated me. Then,
later, when / have learned differently,
l have liked them even more tina l
would have in the beginning"
A Good Reason.
"a fine reason for forming your
friendships declared a dark girl. Just
because you think people have taken a
fancy to you"
well, I couldn't very well make a
friend of anyone who hadn't" was the
triumphant reply. 81 do not mean to
say that l tell all of my secrets and
become chummy with everyone who
happens to be nice to me. l meant
that I just cannot help being nice to
them in return. And / certainly am
more fond of those who care for me
than of those who do not"
I think we all are more or less,
though some of us would not have 1t
known for the world.
To feel that you are in the presence
of those who care for you and admire
you is TO do your very best to make
them like and admire you even more.
Isn't 1t true?
And also, do you ever feel that you
are doing you best when surrounded
by those who are only coldly critical of
the results Of what you do, thinking
little and caring less for the effort you
may have put in 1t? Most certainly you
do not, nor did anyone, 1 think.
Kind words.
Kind words are the bread of life to
most of us, and 1t is to those who fur
nish them that we most naturally veer.
An unfair criticism from one who
cares little about either you or your
work will take the heart out of o as
quickly as the thoughtful word Of
praise will cause YOU pulse TO rise.
Go right on liking the people who
like you, but do not make them your
friends until you have tried them.
Better a few friends whom you can
trust than many whose complete loyal
ty may not be counted upon.

The Presidents Blow at Socialism.

The more time the people of the
country have had to consider the
Presidents letter regarding Meyer and
Hayward as undesirable citizens"
the clearer they realize that he has
dealt a telling blow at socialism in the
form in which it has thrived in recent
years in various labor organizations,
particularly in the West. The blow
and the response which it has elected
have brought out in clear light before
the public those avOwed socialists of
the Debs type who have tried to rally
the great army of honest labor around
their red banner of anarchy and to lead
it in a reckless career of violence, in
timidation and assassination. Such
leaders have been powerful in the
Western Miners Union of which
Meyer and Hayward are officers and
this organization has a long and
bloody record of crime.
Honest labor-and Of course this in
cludes the great mass of those who be-
long to the labor organiZations-face
no greater peril than the leadership of
these socialistic agitators. The
thrifty, Industrious American work.
ingmen, drawing the largest wages
known to the world owning their own
homes. educating their children and
adding to their bank accounts, are not
to be deceived by such leaders. These
leaders are at war with the spirit, the
motive and the purpose of American
institutions, and when President
Roosevelt called them undesirable
citizens he was letting them down very
easily.
The agitation which has followed
their letter to him and his vigorous
reply has brought out the fact that
they are in a hopeless minority. In
Chicago, New York, and in Phla-
delphia their attempts to marshal the
labor organizations in opposition to
the President have met with complete
failure. They were voted down in the
meetings and even their floats and
banners were refused a place in the
labor parades. Honest labor owes
President Roosevelt new debt in this
strong position he has taken against
socialism, the kind of socialism which
welcomes strikes as an excuse for
violence and which opposes the
present constitution of society, its pri-
vate ownership, its competition and
its RICH: of free contract.
