1.-THE average woman" does not
sound like a phrase of high compliment,
yet in this day of social reforms, and
reforms of all sorts. the average wom-
an is doubtless the most needed
woman in modern civilization. Woman
has made great progress during the
centuries. which in itself is interesting
and inspiring. The woman of today Is
surely much more capable and more
lovable than the woman Of even one
hundred years ago, and century is
not long time when it measures the
worlds progress.
The advance of the present day
woman is somewhat due to the work
of those few leaders who make new
paths and encourage more shrinking
souls to follow them. But for the
most part it can be traced to the
steady, slow Improvement all along the
line--an improvement traceable directly
to the average woman herself.
And now. what are some of the ad-
vances woman has made? Does she
not read more books and better ones,
and are her soups and her bread not
better than she used to make?
And, too, she has firmer hand with
children, and understands them more;
her charity is systematically dispensed,
and her home, be it large or small, is
better ordered. Even her personality
has undergone a change, for her love
for those about her is of the kind
that makes the world better for having
known her.
Perhaps every average woman in the
world has desire to do more than the
average. 1t seems to be her part in
the worlds general store of aspiration
and works for good.
The Persians have a pretty proverb
which reads "God takes good care the
trees do not grow into the Skies" and
the poet has translated it into English
poetry and tells lis that even q woman
who is "a phantom of delight must
also be "a creature not too bright or
good for human natures daily food"
which teaches that even with prog
ress the average woman should never
be else but a womanly woman.

A HINT FOR
A CLEVER GIRL.

A dish of exquisite workmanship is made
OF silver is very much the shape of a
large trimmed oyster plate, the rim in
bright silver f1ligree. From the centre of
the plate, or surrounding the bowl portion
is rounded gold wire frame with meshas
about an eighth of an inch apart. Through
the gold wires short stemmed flowers and
leaves are thrust, and the little violets
pansies and dainty blossoms can be natu-
rally grouped and would make handsom,
low centrepieee for the table Why could
not one make something cheap and pretty
in the same manner with heavy neshed
wire and fit 1t to pretty silver dish? Ii
could be done and the little frame certain
ly assists in placing the flowers just where
one wants them. Screening wire could be
used If the meshes were wide enough and
the edges drawn together or overlapped and
sewed so that when the flowers were
placed through the openings, they would
be well rounded over the dish Certainly
any clever girl could do this :

SEEN AT THE
MILLINERY SHOPS.

The dropping brimned felt hat is
often trimmed with fur and while q
heavy trimming, 1t can be very artis-
tically arranged. one black hat with a
white felt lining to the brim is trimmed
with a band of ermine, and a velvet
chou a little to the right front With
ii Is worn an ermine scarf, broad and
short, also an ermine muff. The three
pieces are neat.
Some of the felt hats show mottled
effect of colors, like flecked dress goods.
This style is seen on iaunty street hats
trimmed with many ruffles of striped
ribbons.
Where ribbon is employed alone on a
hat, 1t is fashioned in many loops very
primly arranged or in a huge chou of
smaller loops in fluffy effect. Where
feathers are also a decoration, some re-
gard for primness is noticeable and the
ribbon is neatly placed. The street hat
is trimmed a great deal with coque
plumes, also stiff. short wings, fire.

THE BEST WAY TO
WASH CHIFFON.

Chiffon should be washed in soap lather
by carefully rolling and pressing between
the hands, then rinsed in clean water and
stiffened in gum water, the same proper
ton as for lace-namely, one tablespoon
full to a quarter of pint of water.
Roll in cloth to absorb some of the
moisture. but it must not be too dry when
1t is ironed
To iron chiffon, it must be placed on
the table wrong side up and ironed along
the selvedge, as ironing across would dis
place the fibres and destroy the appear
ance of the delicate fabric
Chiffon ties with a natural crepon GRIN
kle should not be ironed, but, instead, the
ends should be pinned out on a table, the
tie just stretched enough to permit of the
crinklec falling into their natural shape.
When dry fold it without pressing the
folds in; air and put carefully away.

EVENING DRESS CoIFFuRE.

For evening dress coiffures there is an
endless variety of ornaments from which
the discriminating woman may select that
which Is more becoming.
The Empire bandeau is one of the most
fashionable for the younger matrons and
the woman OF dignified carriage.
1t is generally of velvet spangled with
opalescent metal or jet, or shining with
set jewels.
1t passes, say, two-thirds of the way
around the head, ending at the left side
with long ostrich feather that curls over
the hair or, in exaggerated Instances. in
a boa-like arrangement about the neck.
For the debutante there are all sorts of
wreaths made of small rosebuds, white
heather, crimson rOsebuds-an endless
choice of them.
These are mounted on bandeaus Of vel
vet, and are finished with rosettes of
maline, tulle and palc-toned ribbons
They set beautifully over the coronet
braid. which Is the lpost approved method
of arranging the haf.
The braid usually extends as its name
indicates, well ovcrithe top of the head
But it must be Wide and full and thick
to be effective.

FlLET MAKES A MOST
DESIRABLE TRIMMING.

Filet is used a great deal for trimming
even chiffon broadcloth costumes. The
openwork lace is given an artistic finish
with outlines of velvet ribbon or silk sou
tache braid. One gown of biscuit-colored
cloth was elaborately trimmed with squares
of filet outlined with irregular rose and
leaf design in colored applique. The pat
tern was made to branch from the top and
bottom of the squares, placed diamond
shape, and around the lower portion of the
skirt below the knee line. They were
used over the front Of the waist where
they formed a jaunty, short coatee with
wide armhoIes of lace. All of these gar
ments herein described are imported fash
ions ushered In for the late fall and early
winter seasons

I wonder if there is anything quite
so mortifying as the recollection of the
times when your temper went beyond
your control, causing you to say and
do things which you would almost have
given your life to recall.
An exhibition of temper never hurts
others half as much as it hurts yourself.
You not only feel sorrow and regret at
hurting others; your are overwhelmed
with hatred of yourself; of the weak
ness Of your character. which will not
permit you to keep yourself well in
hand. And you are hurt all the way
through to think that you have hurt
others.
