THE WOMAN WHO IS
 POPULAR WITH HER SEX.

Go slow, Is the advice I give to the woman who wants to be popular among her own sex.
 More prospective friendships are ruined by rushing" things than by indifference.
 It is always better when dealing with . new woman acquaintance to let her come halfway. sometimes, the whole way. She has more respect for you. and you are sure that when she does ring you up on the telephone or call on you she really wants to see you.
 I have known very nice women to move into new town and by their lack of good management and way of rushing introductions create the i'm pression that they were pushing" and lacking in dignity owing to this the older residents and those worth know ing looked at them askance.
 One can't be too slow or conserva- tive at first in dealing with the kind of women worth knowing.
 It is not she who spends the most money who Is the best dressed. Es- pecially at this time of the year one realizes that.
 I nave seen Suits or incest NoHe trimmed with rich laces that only set off the dumpiness of heavy figure. which figure, by the way. would have looked better in a twenty-five dollar strictly tailor made suit, with plain straight little jacket and stin turn down collar.
 The great thing is to study ones figure and face relentlessly-if you don't other people will do 1t for you-- and decide which styles are becoming and which are not. After a decision has been reached. stick to it. no mat ter what any one says, and you will always be well dressed.
 The homely woman sometimes makes the fatal mistake of trying to appear picturesque.
 saw an illustration of this the other night at the theatre. A very homely woman with a bad complexion had adopted a costume calculated to soften" as she thought, the discrep- ancies of her face and figure. Her hair. to begin with. was done low in what Is known as artistic disorder" which Is

The woman Who Succeeds.

People estimate the worth of lodging house keepers not by the more or less apocryphal stories they tell of past grandeur. but by the cleanliness of the rooms, good service and palatable meals.
 The circumstance that the boarding house keeper is a dethroned duchess does not console one for burnt chops or a stained tablecloth. What does It profit an employer if her nurse girls uncle happened to be a bishop If the young woman cannot mend or make garments for the children?
 The woman who succeeds in her oc- cupation, be this what 1t may, Is the one who is proud of her work. Suc- cess does not come through pretending that you have taken up work for pock- ct money or to give you an interest in life.
 Thero is no more shame in a, woman working for money than for asman to do so.
 man goes into business frankly and candidly, with a desire to make as much out of 1t as he, can. He doesn't fritter away his valuable time by all those elegant little pretences and ex- cuses so many women think are neces- sary.

The Cro.s of the Legion of Honor.

For many years the coveted decora- ton of the Cross of the Legion of Hon. or has been nenfed to Mime. Bernhardt, although another actress, Mme Bartet, received 1t more than a year ago. Few women, however, have been honored with this distinction. The first was Mme Rosa Bonbeur, the artist. who was decorated in 1865. Twenty years later the list of women legionaries in cluded less than a score. among them being Mime. Furtado Heine, a philan- thropist; Mime. Dieulafoy, an explorer; Mime. Marie Laurent. and Sister Marie Chantal superior of the Hospice Gen erale of Tours. Three years ago the decoration was conferred on Mime.

reasoning power too. If you don't be- lieve me go to any one of half hum dred bad dressmakers now earning a precarious living by ruining their pat" rons' goods. You will find that reaS- oning powers and the absence of them play an important part in practical sewing
 The fact Is. women needs b4 ains everything nowadays from house. work to college teaching, and the more the better.
 Some GOOc Advice.
 The woman whose only recreation Is making calls and walking around in the shopping district should make up her mind to adopt one out of door puI suit and then watch how her health and spirits improve. It may be golf. tennis. walking in the country ar horseback riding. according to her means or inclination, put she should

The Perfect Hostess .

She must make you feel individually that you are a favored guest.
 She must make you feel perfectly at home. She must never look bored.
 She must know how to get congenial people together.
 She must know how to keep conver- sation always going.
 She must never let any one be slight ed or overlooked.

 who hasn't another idea in her head besides the change of fashion. There is the emotional, sentimental woman, all tears or laughter who wears on one because there is. no spiritual or intellectual side to her na- ture.
 Then you see the athletic extreme all hands and feet, with rough skin and rougher voice-a man in all but figure
 Contrast these with that wonderful product-the well balanced woman who keeps her house in order and her larder we'll stocked, who dresses in good taste and entertains charmingly, who finds time to read the best books and yet can ride a thorse and play good game of tennisskand who is, above all. good wife and a good mother. It seems to me that between keep ing things well balanced and contend ing with the ordinary events of life no woman need ever complain of being bored or lonely.

one, outlined with spangles. and the rest of her gown resembled bou. .dour pincushion-it was so full or rufles. I think every one in the thea ter was looking at her Her extraor- dinary "get up," by calling attention to her, revealed what she was most anxious to hide-her ugliness.
 woman who is not pretty shoulc take extra care not to call attention to herself by any oddities of dress. She should keep strictly in fashion and present a smart, well-groomed ap- pearance, perfectly irreproachabie and spick and span.
 Some of the homeliest women I have ever seen have been perfectly stunning because SO carefully dressed that they never had a hair or a shoe-lace out of place.
 Men, by the way-and what woman does not dress with an eye to the ap- proval of the other sex-admire this well groomed style of dressing much more than the fippity fioppity. pic turesque and unbrushed type. Trim" is one of the most fattering adtectives a man can use about woman Pity so few deserve 1t!
 The Large Sailor Hat.
 The large sailor hat is much prominent feature of millinery here fin New York that it would be ah in- Justice to you not to mention it. It Is simple to trim, so any girl who is at all clever with her ringers ought to have two or three of these to go with her different wash gowns and tailor mades.
 You can buy the shapes in good trough annd ready" straw for as low as a dollar and a half. The brim is narrower in front and the trimming is started from the very edge of this and it goes back over the crown in the shape of wings, flowers or smart bows of satin ribbon. A sailor of this description designed to be worn with a pale blue linen suit had two pairs of bright blue wings fastened with turquoise ball headed pins to the crown, which was merely band same shade. It cost $4. An other hat slightly more expensive Another hat slightly more expensive was covered with cherries placed all over the crown, and the bapdeau was filled in with loops of red velvet rib bon of a darker shade and tulle. Still another exquisitely dainty sailor of fine white chip was trimmed with a half wreath of white roses and big white satin bow. It cost 8 for the shape a dollar for the roses. another for tulle for the band. and another for the 4ibbon. total $6. This was dressy enough to go with any simple, white gown and with all embroidered White linen dresses.
 A Satisfactory Accomplishment.
 Really one of the most valuable all ents a woman can have is an ability to trim simple hat shape with ipex- pensive materials in becoming man ner.
 I believe that elementary lessons in millinery and dressmaking ought to be taught In every school for girls in- stead of. let us say. higher mathemat- ics. Certainly the girls themselves would get far more profit and enjoy ment out of the more practical course and people of judgment are condemn ing more and more useless branches of study. True. pedagogues will toll you they have their value in expanding the reasoning powers. but to give good ht to a gown requires considerable
