The parasol may be cleaned with
gasoline. but 1t will need a great deal

The Girl who Laughs.

II like to heal her laugh said a
man I know of a mutual friend, ut is
so hearty and sincere and sounds as
Il she meant it."
What nicer compliment would you
want than that. You do not know how
much good a CHEEKY laugh will do, not
only to yourself but to those around
you.
The girl of III my friend spoke is
endowed with that great possession,
ability to see a little bit of fun in
everything, and she never misses an
opportunity to enjoy a good laugh. A
situation is indeed serious when she
can find no amusement in it. Conse-
quently she is a nice person ito have
around" to use one of the popular
phrases of the day.
Please do not entertain the idea that
she is a giggler, for she is far from 1t.
She only laughs when she has reason.
and the difference between her and a
great many other people is that she
generally finds a reason, where they do
not.

WHEN IN SEARCH z
OF A POSITION,

Country girls and boys seeking positions
in the city should know that the opportuni-
ty to secure a desirable place is in the
spring and fall, and not during the sum-
mer months. AS q rule, all business places
secure help early in these two seasons,
and while there are opportunities during
the summer. there are generally vacancies
only while employees are taking vacations.
In taking a position, a stranger should ask
IT the place Is permanent and have a set
tied agreement. 1t is Il fact that quite
often girls are employed in large business
houses to do stenographic work, and as
soon as the work is over the girls are dis
charged. This is said to be a common
thing in railroad offices. where accountants
are needed only during a great rush. The
applicant nus learn that no person is. a
necessity to a business firm, and 1t Is to
his or her interest to have a thorough an
d~erstanding regarding the place. III

THE NEW CURTAINS.

The newest curtains look like the old
fashioned cream-colored scrim. They are,
however, so beautiful that all women
would be delighted with such curtains.
Many of the patterns have immense con-
ventional designs not unlike Biedermier
patterns at the bottom of the curtains,
while the edges are trimmed with bands
interviewer in the material and outlined
with miniature patterns like those at the
bottom. Some curtains will be trimmed
with patterns in which one can see GRIM
sen, buttercup yellow. china blue and
black.

A LITTLE TRICK.

TIL next time you have a party get a
mirror, large sheet of paper and pencil
and have each guest try to draw a square
on the paper by watching the work in the
mirror. The square must be crossed from
one corner to another. forming an X, and
the pencil must not be lifted from the
naper. though one line can be traced to
make the X. 1t sounds very easy, but 1t
Is almost impossible for anyone to draw
ANYTHING which resembles a square.

IRONING THE LINGERIE WAIST.

Have you ever purchased a lingerie
waist and had IT look hopelessly cheap
after the first washing2 1t is due to the
starch which fills the fine meshes, maxi
ing the waist look like muslin. A fine thin
waist should be ironed wet without starch
ing, and it will look like new. 1t must be
worn over a stiff corset cover to give it a
good shape. but the daintiness is destroyed
when heavy starch is used. If starch is
used at all. it must be the finest, and so
very thin that It merely makes the ma
terlal iron smoothly without making it
stiff.

How would you like to be a japanese
woman?
At the age of Is h begins to learn
cooking and to mend her prospective
husbands clothing, and a short time
afterward she is given by her parents
over to a comparative stranger, who
from that time on has the power to
direct her every movement, and whom
she must never dare to think of dis
obeying. Should she become angry or
answer back, after the fashion OF
American wives, she nay be rreemp-
torily divorced. But, whatever her hus-
bands ~offense. she has no such remedy
against him. 1t is her mission to stand
meekly whatever treatment he chooses
to give her.

A question of Size.

There is some satisfaction in the
thought that In Paris the American
women have been awarded the palm
for having the smallest feet. 1t Is said
that not only are their feet timer, but
they are more shapely, n are not
distorted by the extremely high heels,
SO dear to the heart of the Partisan
woman.
American shoes are fast gaining in
favor on the other side. 1t Is claimed
that they are superior, both In quality
and finish, to those manufactured in
other countries.
This news will come as a surprise to
many. for the French women have al
wavs been noted for their small feet.

Possibilities
Of tie Future
BY Req. Newell Dzvight Hills

Memory gives us the past, and work
uses the present, but our real life is
in the future. Three hundred and six
ty-five golden days lying before us.
Think of it! One hour sufficed for
Burns to baptize a daisy with immor-
tality. One hour was enough for
Wordsworth's Ode to Duty. One even
ing suficed for Whitney to sketch his
cotton gin. One winters night gave
the hours of Jefferson to take from
the Gospels his scheme of ideal
ethics.
For the youth the Grst duty is to
grow. Growth means planning; plan
ming means something definite;
definiteness appoints certain duties
for each hour.
Every day next year read one page
or poem; every day meet one man
greater than yourself, from whom you
can learn, and help one less than
yourself. Every day do some one
stroke of good work that will stand,
and cross one threshold to carry sun
shine with you. Every day plan to do
some one thing that will help men,
not hurt them; make men, and not
mar them.
You can so order your life as to
grow in health and in enjoyment of
