The Art of Happiness.

The art Of happiness consists in be-
ing pleased with little things. Peo-
pie with great wealth or great power
are seldom happy. The leaders Of the
world, great men or great women, are
seldom satisfied. The society leader,
with millions at her command and
the homage of many men and women,
rarely knows the happiness that comes
unasked to the young wife or mother
in humber circles, says Home Chat.
The possession of money decreases
the power Of enjoyment. A child gets
more pleasure out of sixpenny toy
than millionaire does from thou
sand pound yacht. Sixpence has great
er value to the child than a thousand
has to the millionaire. The joys of
life belong to the little people-the
quiet men and women who are salts
fed to live their own lives and make
little mark on the lives of others. 1t
is In the power Of the least of us to be
happy and to make others so.

Sun-BOnnet and Hat.

Washable hats that are such In fact
as well as in name are always In de-
mand for the little folk during the
warm weather Here are two emin-
emily satisfactory ones that are dis
tinctly different in style, but both Of
which can be taken apart and laun-
dered without difficulty. In the H..
lustration the hat is made of dotted
pique simply scalloped at the edges
and held In place by means Of lawn
ties, while the sun-bonnet Is made of
white lawn, the brim portion being EN-.
broidered in simple design. A great
many materials can be used, however,
and everything that is correct for
hats and bonnets of the sort Is ap.
propriate. For the little hat linen,
pique and duck are perhaps the pre-
ferred Materials, but lawn, with the
brim interlined, also is seen, while fof
the sun-bonnet both white lawn and
cross barred dimity are liked, with
also the pretty Dresden designs that
are so childish and so charming.
The hat Is made with crown and
brim and with straight narrow
band. The band is attached to the
inner portion of the brim and to 1t
the buttons are sewed. Button holes
are worked In the crown and the two
are buttoned together. The sun-bon.

the Material is chiffon broadcloths
with collar and cuffs of velvet, the
seams being simply stitched with beld-
ing silk. Every suiting material is
appropriate, however, and the coat is
also a pretty one for the separate
wrap, and, severe and simple as 1t is,
there are number of variations that
can be made. Collar and cuffs can
be of the material while their edges
and those of the coat are bound with
braid, or II something still palmer Is
wanted the sleeves can be made long
and the cuffs omitted, leaving a per-
fectly plain coat sleeve. There are
pockets that are both smart and con-
venient, and the little coat Is one al
together to be commended from
every point of view.
The coat is made with fronts and
side-fronts, side-backs and under-arm
cores. The fat Tuxedo collar finishes
the neck and the pockets are inserted.
The sleeves are made in two pieces
each and are laid in pleats at the
shoulders.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four yards
twenty-seven, two and half yards
forty-four or two and a quarter yards
fifty-two inches wide with one-half
yard of velvet for collar and cuffs.

A College Woman's Philosophy.

"If we could collect in one place at
the end of the college life every visible
| result Of the four years work." said
a serious young woman yesterday, who
was graduated from well known col
| lege last June, I'VE might fancy for
a moment that there was a great deal
| more In those books and papers than
there was left in our own minds; but,
then, as we realized afresh all the full
ness of college life we should feet that
the best things gained were not those
in the books and papers, but some
where else. This last thought would
be much better one than the first,
because the only right and proper
place for everything that has been ac-
quired is not within the narrow limits
of notebooks, but present and ready in
the daily thoughts, and so influencing
them as to affect continually the ac-
tual life.
THE wonderland the men, ,too-who
use to the fullest that which they have
although this may be little, are in
finitely wiser than they who go on
accommodating and piling up informa-
ton, with no coherent purpose nor
with any definite plan," continues this
philosopher. "The trouble with a
great many people in this world is
not that they are lacking in sufficient
brains, but that they do not know how
to use those they have. Waste is al
ways unintelligent; and 1t is the worst
waste in the world to leave idle and
useless the faculties which are capa-
Bile of being alert and helpful. That
this is tendency with womankind-
even with college women-is only too
well known. An Illustration in point is
comment of one Of this years grad
yates: When | went home in the
spring vacation and heard my father
talking about strikes and labor unions
| tried to be intelligent and bring to
the fore all my training in economics;
but it was pitiful how much was in
my note books and how little in my
mind ready for use.'
Disconnected facts are only good
when they become Significant, and they
only become significant when they as.
sumo their proper places in the scheme
of living. The wisest people are they
who see life in its true proportion;
they can trace the origin, the relation
ship and the meaning of events and
results in their daily life, and all
things have meaning for them.
These people are not always the ones
who have had the widest and best edu-
cation; they are often hampered by
this very lack of mental training, but
they are not willing to rest until they
have found some answer to their ques-
tionines. Therefore they ponder and
puzzle, put two and two together un-
til finally they begin to find answers
and to interpret causes and results.
They work out their own philosophy,
which is, after all, the only philosophy
worth having!"-New York Tribune.

An Intrepid Exnlorer.

BY her intrepid journey of explora-
ton across the almost untrodden wilds
of Labrador, Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard,
. Canadian lady who has recently come
to London, has once more demonstrat-
cd the courage with which a fragile,
gently nutured woman can brave hard
ships and dangers which might we'll
daunt any man. For twelve years Miss
Constance Gordon-Cumming wandered
over the earth from the granite crags
of California to the fire fountains of
Hawaii" climbing in the Himalayas
and penetrating into the heart Of Chi
ma and Tibet. Miss H. M. Kingsley
explored the CAMERON regions and
made herself quite at home abong
fierce gorillas and fiercer cannibals.
Lady Baker, who was the first Euro
pean to sight Albert Nyanza, thought
nothing Of walking into the tent of an
Arab SLAYER and fetching out the cap
tives; while Miss Jane Moir, Mrs.
Bishop, Mrs. Marshall and others also
occupy honored places as explorers

Fashion Notes.

Black brocades spotted with colored
embroidered designs are seen again.
The new silks show no departure
from the soft, thin texture Of last sea-
son.
The chiffon weight Of velvet is quite
distanced by a weave as thin and soft
as gauze.
Among the silks brilliant combina.
tions of color and striped effects are
conspicuous.
The open-mest linens are the newest
weaves and are much liked for
jumper dresses.
Scarfs of chiffon or liberty are
twice passed around the waist and tied
in a great bow In the back.
One thing that women too often for
get is that there is becoming and an
unbecoming length for the sleeve.
Those who wear scarfs with their
tailored shirt-waists will have the pin
and the link buttons match in design.
The long cuff with the pun at the
top of the arm is one Of the new and
sane sleeves seen in fashionable
gowns.
Among the stunning getups seen at
recent fashionable lawn party was
a rose colored linen embroidered Law
ishly and a leghorn hat trimmed with
pale blue and white feathers.
A tall woman with a sleeve that
looks as though 1t had started for the
wrist and given out before that point
had been reached has the look of hav-
ing either out-grown her clothes or
run short Of material.
A gray mousseline de sole gown
worn by an elderly woman at we'd
ding was trimmed with sort of drawn
work and fringe and was almost en-
tirely covered by a long coat of gray
embroidered net. The hat was trimmed
with poppies.

Monkey or Woman2

The keepers Of the Bronx Zoo can
hardly tell whether the animal they
bought of an inbound South African
tramp steamship is female orang
outang or a woman.
Nothing so near to the real, sure
enough, long-sought missing link has
ever been brought to America. II
has no hair on its face. no monkey
like curve to its spinal column; sits
like a human being, walks like an
aldemanic candidate, on its hind legs
alone, and much prefers the society
of humans to the inmates of the mon
key cage.
Moreover, Director Hornaday has
measured its intellect, and declares
that 1t is one of the highest brows
he has ever seen. Still, the consen
sus of opinion is that the orang-
outang is less monkey than man, and
1t will be put on exhibition this
week with the rest of the tribe it SO
far excels.-New York American

Women as Physicians.

In the entire list of admissions to
practice at the bar just made public
there is not one woman among the
more than $50 new attorneys. OF the
ninety-two doctors of medicine passed
by the State Board Of Registration
ten are women.
The alignment of the sexes in the
professions seems to be turning in
the direction of natural aptitude Snd
sympathetic development. The prac.
tice of law is not a congenial occupa'
tion for women unless in exceptional
cases. Few have the temperament and
the disposition to find in 1t happi-
ness or achieve success.
On the other hand the healing art
offers to women career in which
their natural intuitions and their deli
cate perceptions constitute invaluable
aids to science.-Boston Post.

But 1t is isimportant to know how to

Pastor Of a Kansas Church.

The first woman graduate from the
Kansas University School of Law, Mrs.
Ella w Brown, is now pastor of the
Congregational church at Powhattan,
Kan, having forsaken the courts for
the ministry some years ago. She has
had her pastorate for four years and
has made record for efficiency as
a minister of the Gospel, as she did
also in the practice of law.
Mrs. Brown was ordained as min
lister of the Congregational church
April, 1905, and was called to the
present pastorate of the Powhattan
church in that year. No revivals have
been held in her church since she took
charge, but there has been steady
annual growth in membership and
prosperity.
The officers of Mrs. Browns church
are mostly women.-Topeka Capital.

scheme which has been submitted to
them.
The aim is to make the girls pro-

OF artisans earning from 2Ss, to 93 a
week. In addition to washing, cook
ing and cleaning and the general man
agement Of the home on a systematic
basis, they would be taught how ito
shop in the most economical way.
At the beginning Of each week a
certain sum would be set apart for
rent, rates, clothing, insurance, travel

for "a rainy day." The remainder
would be available for food and any
little iuxuries that might be possi-
