All That Goes TO Make Lady

True politeness, which springs from
heart and brain, is the coin which can
purchase the most for the smallest out
lay.
A pleasing smile. a modest confidence,
a patient. deferential power OF atten-
ton TO the words Of others, often will
carry a person much further than her
talent or brain power warrants. and
gracious manner, II not the very best
letter Of recommendation, is certainly
good second best
Good manners must not be mistaken
Tor ''mRnnerisms, which should ever
be avoided. The former spring from a
constant regard and thought for the
feelings of others. from habItuaI self
denial. from a love of gentIeness and
peace. while the latter are merely at
fectation.
There can be no true politeness where
there is no consideration for others
Good manners are shown in small deeds
rather than the big actions OF life In
the everyday Intercourse rather than
at occasional parties
There Is no woman so respected 50
sought after. and so admired as the
woman whose easy, gracious manners
put every one at ease-the woman who
never fOrgets what is due to Others

Fog TIE House

The woman who loves 70 beautify her
house must fairly revel in the shops
nowadays. Everywhere things pretty
and artistic meet her gaze.
Chief among them are the new lamps
ana candlesticks. The silver-plated
lamps for the dinner table are very at
trsctive. The silver shades g these
lamps are lined with colored grass and
a beaded fringe to correspond. Then
the old fashion of silk lemp shades is
coming in again, and some real SYM
phonies in pink and yellow are the re-
suit. One tall bronze hall lamp has a
pale green and pink globe that is very
effective.
Some OF the new Japanese candle
sticks are very quaint. These are all
of one thickness, cut into grotesque fig
Ires and deeply engraved. They come
in a dark greenish bronze. Other candle
sticks, engraved silver this time, are
absolutely square, tapering 70 a point
hand-engraved silver is taking the place

Clocks are legion, and each one is
more beautiful than the last Statuary

Then there is the mysterious clock.
This Is square OF transparent glass
bound in gilt, with golden hands. One

OSTRICH PLUMES ARE VERY POPULAR IN SPRING MILLINERY
TIGHT LACING IS NOT
CONDUCIVE TO GOOD FIGURF
CorsetS Should Be in Correct Proportion to Body
or Result IS UngracefuI

A pretty, trim figure is by no means
the difficult thing TO attain that some
women seem TO think. There Is also a
general idea that only expensive corsets
will improve ones shape. but this again
g. en- error. Inexpensive ones can do
wonders, and If q wOman's income is
such that she can afford to have her
stays made 20 order she is TO be con-
graduated. But she need not despair
over ref 1y-mades, and those costing
less than s. at that.
The very first thing to be taken into
consideration IS proportion. IL Is gro
tesque for a short woman TO wear stays
that give her long waist If nature
has made her long WASTED she should
adopt corsets that raise the line of her
waist an inch or more. otherwise the
shortness of her legs Is emph ASKED, and
she is anything but graceful In effect
a very cOrGmOn error is wearing cor
sets that are too long over the hips.
Some women seem to think that IL un-
less their hips are tightly laced in their
figures are not what they should be.
This Is. Of course, true of women whose
hips are disproportiOnat sly large. but
others should wear corsetE that are
shorter over the hips, so that from the
waist line there viii be gentle curve
out. It won't be necessary TO draw in
the waist so much If the hips are left
free.
Do not choose corsets when you have
cold, or are in any way i'll, for the
figure is not at its best.
The idesl stays should most carefully
NJ the waist; ninety-nine out of every
hundred pairs are too high waisted.
Then the hips and stomach should be
given a firm, even support without
compression. and If the wearer Is fat.
they can be well boned (the very best
whalebone only being used. The bust
should be left free. unless IL Is very
large and needs support Otherwise it
Is far better not 10 spoil its shape by
pressing Ii in or up with the corset. a
cheap pair are great offenders IN this
matter. Nor should they be cut too
high at the back: that gives a very
ugly line for the dress.
IL Is great mistake to think IL is ever
necessary 60 tight lace. IL is always un-
desirable and always inartlstic. More
ruined digestions. more red noses, more

YOUNG COLLEGE GRADUATES
NOW WEAR DECOLLETE FROCKS

When Lent commences the debutante's
first season is practically over, and at
once all attention is directed 20 the
younger sister. for in Easter week her
fun starts and consists In various col
lego dances and ''prOms.'' which keep
up until the last part Of June. 1t is
now considered quite correct for a young
girl to wear a decollete evening gown
during the spring and summer before
she is formally introduced to the social
world. Her gown, however, should be Of
some simple design and quite unlike
the ball dresses that she will wear next
winter. Chiffon, net. gauze or a soft silk
OF figured taffeta all make attractive
and youthful frocks, the sheer materials
being OF course the more charming.
Tor Few gowns, even of the heaviest
texture, can survive q college prom"
The skirt should be just long enough
TO hang gracefully, but a long train Is
most III advised for a young girl.
An exceedingly pretty model suitable
for college girl not yet out could be
made OF pale pink wolfe de sole, trimmed
quite simply with satin ribbon Of the
same shade Of rose color. The guimpe
and sleeves in the bodice are of white
lace. The surplice or hchu effect Is
formed of soft folds of the material
and wide bands of the ribbon start on
each side OF this fichu and crossing
over, are brought back 10 form a long
sash. The sleeves are bordered with a
narrow ruche Of the ribbon and the only
trimming on the skirt consists Of two
rows OF lace OF unequal width bordercd
at each side with a ruching Of the rib
bon.
Another charming model for a yourE
girl could be OF white tulle, decorated
with garlands of tiny pink rosebuds AMI
bands Of pale blue velvet ribbon. A
