John Jacob Astor Is the possessor OF
many leather belts that cost pretty
penny. Each OF them has been fooled
by n master workman, and most Of Them
are richly gilded. The buckles are Of
solid gold, a small one in front, a big
one in the back. Mrs. Astori recently hit
on what has been hailed Jas happy
idea, simply through a mistake or the
part of her maid. The young person
charged with the duty Of dressing the
former Philadelphia belle buckied on a
belt wrong side before. Mrs. Aston got z
GLIMPSE OF IL IN a cheval glass before
The Hyafd detected the error. Instead Of
becoming angry the mistress WAS de
lighted, for she noticed that the larger
buckle, when IN front gave a more
graceful slope to her waist line. She
refused to let the maid remedy the mis-
take. and she has worn all her belts
that way ever since Doubtless in the
coming season shrewd makers VIII turn
out belts intended to be worn with the
big buckle in front.

Hog 10 Make Sleeves

The scare about sleeves has settled
into pretty general conviction that the
woman who wants long sleeves can
have them and be secure in the thought
that she is ahead in the fashion, and
that tho woman who wants the short
sleeves is welcome to IL and may wear
il with the sure comfort that a host Of
persons counted among the best in the
land are with her. Long sleeves,
wriRkled their entire length and com
ing ever the back or the hand. are
here. as IT was predicted away hack
last summer that they would be this
fall They are, as a rule, II gauze or
lace, and match the yoke OF the gown.
while the upper sleeve more or less
brief Is OF material like the bodice or
its trimming. There are no end OF
double-sleeve shapes. The ways OF
such sleeves are SO many as to defy
standardization, some OF the upper
sleeves being mere caps or bands.

Coura6e

Because I hold It sinful to despond
And win not let the bitterness Of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look
beyond
It's tumult and its strife:
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad
breeZes blow
BY every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you find no bitterness at all?
No burden TO be borne, Ike Christians
pack?
Think you there are no ready tears to
fall
Because I keep them back?
Why should / buy Ufes Ills with cold
To curse s- myself ana all who love VET
A thousand times more good than I
deserve
God gives rae every day.
And in each OF these rebellfous tears
Kept bravely back He makes a rainbow
shine
Grateful, I take His slightest. gift, no
fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear, and when the
clouds are past
One golden day redeems a weary year;
Patient, I listen, sure that sweet at last
VIII sound His voice Of cheer.
Then-vex me not with Gliding. let me be
Then-vex me not with chiding, let me be.
I must be glad and grateful TO the end.
I grudge you not your cold and dark
nes-me
The powers OF light befriend.

come, dramatlc writer's in that sec
ton Of the country have found much TO
interest them. The announcement that
Mr.. Willard will not be seen in America
for several years. had brought from the
press many expressions of regret that
are manifestly an echo Of public feel
ing. and the Milwaukee Sentinel has
printed an editorial on the subject of
Mr.. Wizards departure that cannot fail
to demonstrate the deep affection and
high regard in which this notable actor
Is held. In part the editorial saws:
OF the many actors who have come
TO Milwaukee a regular intervals. M
Willard unquesUonably occupies a
unique position. Other actors there may
be who are admittedly players Of fin
ished powers, whose entertainments are
regarded as artistic delights and some
even, who are acclaimed as great. An

not one of his admirers but would do
battle to the death in support of Will
lard's claim to greatness. but as a
dear friend. one whose coming is looked
forward to as the visit of one personally
known and intimately loved
Perhaps. it is in a measure due to the
wide range Of sympathetic characters
which Mr.. Willard has presented which
has led TO this belief in the personal
lovableness Of the man. but it is largely
due to the gracious personality OF the
man himself, which shines through each
of his stage creations.
Theatergoers who have laughed at
The Professors Love Story" who
have been stirred by the splendid rug
ged figure of Cyrus Blenkarn; who
have watched with awed silence the
weird creation of Austin Limmason:
who have been delighted with Tom
Pinch, and who have mourned with
Colonel Newcome; who have enjoved
"A Pair Of Spectacles,' Judah" and
the many other plays with which his
name VIII always be associated, will re-
greet his departure and miss him as
perhaps no other actor of the present
day could be missed
Wherever Mr. WIZARDS fates may call
him he may be certain that his memory
will be held dear in Milwaukee by thou
sands whom he has charmed by his
completed art and his charming per
sonality. Milwaukee bids you Godspeed
