FlLET DESIGNS
ON NET BUTTONS.

Net buttons will be worn a great deal on
many of the fine wrists and lace coats.
The work in mostly handiwork, for the
buttons are made with net and fine en-
broidery silk or cotton. Filet designs are
very neat for the buttons and shows the
silk Innings beneath. Where the waist is
colored, the lining matches the waist,
though the embroidery Is mostly done with
black, White or ecru. Hand painted but
tons are fashionable In Paris. though for
some unaccountable reason American
women prefer something a trine more
handsome. Some of the h~and-painted af-
fairs are of Dutch blue, outlined with
white, frequently odd designs like ships,
sail boats, rustic scenery, etc., being used
as a decorative feature.

"I don't know what's the matter with
me- l heard a girl say the other day.
IT feel mopy and queer and not a bit
like myself. I can't laugh, and I think
case must be serious, for 1 not only
laugh a lot myself as a rule, but I preach
of the virtue of laughing to everybody
1 know, I'm going out right now and do
some rldiculous thing to make me laugh.
If I can't cure myself any other way"
She evidently knew the value of a laugh,
for of all the charms, both intellectual and
physical. which the great Creator has be-
slowed upon womankind, surely the gift
of laughter and the spirit Of lighthearted-
ness is the most to be desired.
The most lovable girls in the world are
those with sunny dispositions. A few
people like the quiet, thoughtful girl;
others care for the girl who is perpetually
vivacious and bubbling over with spirits.
But everybody likes the girl with the
happy disposition. Girls Of this character
are never boisterous nor are they dismally
quiet. They have n pleasant smile for
everyone; they never seem to be annoyed
by trouble or worries; they have soft musi-
cal voices. and their smile, be they pretty
or not. is always sweet and assuring.
Laughing c~heerfulness," once wrote a
well known author, throws the light on
every path of life" This is Just what the
laughing girl does.
An unpleasant situation is half conquered
when one has the sense to see Its humor
and laugh at the discomforts 1t presents.
There is nothing so dark that 1t does not
possess a bright side, too, and the ability
to discover and appreciate it does more
to make one happy than anything else.
A woman without a sense of humor
would probably melt into tears IL con-
fronted with an emergency that had in IL
a suggestion of danger as well as much
that was disagreeable.
On the other hand the girl who laughs,
as soon as she got used to things and had
recovered from her first panic, would
probably almost enjoy the situation by
reason of its humorous possibilities.
The difference between the two types OF
woman, Of course, lies in the fact thai the
woman with the sense Of humor would
gladly make light of troubles and Difficult.
ties by poking fun at herself, while the
other would make herself and every one
else miserable by self-pity.
l know men who say thats women TAKE
themselves so seriously that they never
see humor in anything, but we all know
that isn't so. Most women nave a keeE
sense of humor, n get a great deal OF
fun out Of even the serious situations OF
life. Certainly there are women who make
trouble of everything and who never see
the bright side of anything, but the ma.
jority have learned the value of a sunny
disposition and are proflting by 1t.

THE SEEDS OF
YOUR NASTURTlUMS.

During this month is the time to save
nasturtinm seeds. Do not pluck the
flowers; allow to seed, and remove when
largely developed. since the small seeds
raise only inferior plants the next season.
If desired, the smaller ones can be used in
pickles, and add a delicious flavor to them.

when dry, place in a paper bag and keep
where mice will not eat them.

CLANS Are Good.

"Ah, these are good" remarks your
dyspeptic companion as he gazes at
the CLAIMS on the halfshell. "They VIII
not hurt the poorest stomach in the
world,'9 and he proceeds to eat with
evident relish. Somehow or other you
cannot follow his example. They are
too good for you. You would rather
eat something not quite so wholesome,
like the little girl who could not bear
the sight of prunes because they were
$50 healthy"
It's the same way all through the
meal. When you are through you
know more about the health properties
Of various kinds of food than you had
ever hoped to gain, and you would
like to "wallop" the one who impaired
the knowledge.
And who could blame you II you did?
People who suffer from Indigestion
are to be pitied, for there is no other
aflment which is quite so to
m~elancholia, but why, oh, why, can
not the keep their troubles to them
selves? They would get a great deal
more sympathy. When we like q GER
tain article of food we do not care to
hear that 1t takes twenty-three hours,

liable to destroy the appetite of any

The DyspeptIc Crnnk.

It's all very well and good to take
good care of your stomach and gen.
eral health. but the man or woman who
is continually prating of what is and
what is not good for you, and the value
of this food as an aid to digestion,
compared to that food which is harm
full to a great degree. is a nuisance.
If he would only keep his theories to
himself, and not try to infict them
upon those who do not want to hear.
But, alas, he does not.

right, but cannot afford to run the
risk of eating them. Always have to
