Put End to voIubiIity.

Abernethy was supposed to influence
people by brusqueness amounting to
absolute rudeness. 1t Is related that
one day very voluble lady took her
daughter, who was Ill, to see him.
Which of you two wants to consult
me?" said Abernethy.
MY daughter" replied the woman.
Abernethy then put question to
the girl. Before she had a chance to
reply, her mother began long story.
Abernethy told her to be quiet and re-
peated his question to the girl. A
second time the woman began a story,
and a second time he told her to be
quiet; then she interrupted him third
time.
Put your tongue out" he said to the
mother
But there's nothing the matter with
me-" she exclaimed.
Never mind, put your tongue out"
he commanded.
Thoroughly overawed, the woman
obeyed.
Now keep 1t out" said Abernethy.
and he proceeded to examine the girl.

PRODUCTION several years ago The
bow of last year and the stiff pumps
show signs of giving place to the slip

It is yet too early to say whether
brown shoes will be as popular for
summer as they have been this win

and very comfortable.

Burning Up Old Letters.

What more distressing occupation
can one hit upon than to burn up old
letters on rainy day? 1t is always a
wet day one chooses for this, feeling
rather like Judas one minute and
like Hercules in the Augean stable the
next. 1t is positively surprising the
way letters accumulate, especially
with people who are either not
methodical enough or too sentimental
to ruthlessly destroy letters not of
any really permanent value, as they
are read and answered. The gloom
and pathos of this occupation are en-
HANGED when 1t Is our painful office
to look over and weed out the CORE
spondence of one dear to us who has
journeyed Ito the bourne whence no
traveller returns" Certain letters are
sacred, and should. think, If kept, be
labeled Strictly Private" This is a
matter which must be considered with
reference to the Importance of the
letters to the happiness of the
writer's where the disclosure of the
contents of letter would work sor-
row or wrong to another it had better
be destroyed at once. So much harm
has been done through the careless
handling Of personal letters, so many
friends have been estranged, that to
neglect to destroy a letter is some
times almost criminal.

tened down to the bodice, as shown.
But this is not always done. If the
jacket fits well 1t is frequently used
with loose edges so that the frock
may be worn without It,
These little jackets are to be had
in the shops In many different styles
and patterns of laces. II the design
be good and the lace of good quality
the kind does not matter much. A
heavy lace may be used without fur
ther trimming. but very often the de-
sign of the jacket is embellished by
embroidery in gold or colors or both.
The embroidery may be of silk or of
ribbon. chiffon, etc. The jacket is
then frequently edged with ball
fringe or gold fringe to match the
embroidery.
Quite an attractive effect is pro-
duced when the lace jacket is EN-.
broidered in the color of the costume.
For instance, a pale blue princess
frock with lace bolero will have the
design of the lace outlined with a
heavy silk embroidery in blue or a
delicate tracery of blue embroidery,
accentuated here and there by deeper
blues or gold. Sometimes the sole
addition to the design of the lace con-
sists in the embroidering of the CEN
ters of the lace flowers or the use of
little tufts of co,ored satin for these
flower centers. Z
Some of the jackets to be worn with
satin princess gowns or those of
equally elaborate material have en-
broidery or spangles outlining or over
laying the design of the lace. IL the
jacket is fastened to the gown bands
of spangled trimming will then be used
to finish the jackets. When the gown
with which the jacket is to be worn
has a chemisette or yoke of lace there
is no attempt to match the lace of the
bolero. The chemisette collar and
undersleeves may all be of the same
lace, but quite different from the bo-
lero. although naturally the design
must either contrast effectively or
be of the sort to harmonize well with
that of the bolero.

WHEN TRYING ON A SHOE.
Proper Fitting That Will Avoid Dis
comfort and Extravaganza.

Fortunately we are growing more
sensible about our feet and do not
try to crowd wicked sister sizes into
Cinderella numbers.
None-theless one frequently makes
mistakes in buying shoes. and discom-
fort or extravaganza results.
II you do not want to be forced into
throwing away perfectly good shoes
never try them on save late in the aft
ernoon when the feet are tired and
somewhat swollen from walking. If
the shoe feels comfortable under such
conditions be sure it is not going to
give you trouble later.
1t is also well to wear thicker stock
ings than usual when having a shoe
fitted, to allow a little extra room.

Hurry.

To our own age belongs the credit of
having raised hurry from the degraded
position of a disease to that of a com.
mercial process. Formerly hurry sim
ply brought people to an early grave,
with nothing to show for it, whereas
now it is become the means of trans
forming peace of mind, which is a
solecism, to say the best of 1t, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to te
great fact In life. Even the fashions
take account of it. until women are
found doing up their hair in such a
way that they may go the speed limit
without fear of its coming down. And
the best of hurry is that it is It's own
sufficient justification. Nobody ex-
poets hurry to have any particular
reason behind 1t any more.-Life.

wife Found Him Careful Adviser a.
to Woman's Dress.

1t was pleasant to hear Mrs. Ham
mond speak OF her husbands helpful
ness in domestic matters. and also of
his great taste in regard to woman's
dress. Nobody could guess what a
help he is to me in choosing my new
gowns each year." Mrs. Hammond
said, earnestly. without really hear
ing our conversations"
A graceless cousin, to whom fell the
privilege OF hearing one of these H.
Eliminating conversations, said that
ever after the peculiar fitness of Mr..
Hammond for the position of censor
remained in her mind.
William" said Mrs. Hammond. on
this memorable occasion, 81 am unde-
cided between green and a brown
for my winter suit. Now l know what
you're thinking You're thinking that
l said 1 was tired to death of brown,
and SO / was. and am. You think I'd
better have the green"
Still" said Mr.. Hammond.
Certainly" said his wife. 1T spots,
and is more apt to fade, perhaps, while
brown is more trustworthy color"
"Of course" began Mr. Hammond.
Yes, of course brown makes me
look older" assented his wife. !.
But how" ventured Mr.. Ham,
mond.
But how much smaller / look in
brown than in any other COLOR and
Mrs. Hammond nodded approval "And
as I'm really gaining flesh all the
time, perhaps I'd better not consider
the green"
You don't" began the careful ad-
wiser.
Il know I don't look stout to you,"
cried Mrs. Hammond, but you'll feel
more at home with me in brown. and
SO it's decided, just as l thought 1t
would be! When one has husband
who is really interested, and takes
thought about ones dress" and she
turned a bright gaze to the visitor "it
does simplify things so,"-Youth's
Companion.
