Nine-tenths of the discom-

Worry Worse Than Work.

Worry is only the extra work, the
increased wear and tear for which we
are never paid. It always binders, but
never wins. 1t means incapacity for an
ticipated efforts, and yet we constant
ly blame circumstances rather than our
individual selves. The man who is al
ways ready and takes time to be sure
before he starts never need hurry or
worry. How few can do this consist
entity, Then comes the breakdown
which is so often charged to mere over
work. In ninety-nine cases in a hun
dred it is the worry, always useless,
that eventually weakens and kills.

Worth on Tiaht Laeina.

In his great series OF articles on In

Harper's Bazaar, Worth, the worlds
greatest dressmaker, says some preg-
nant things about tight lacing. Here is
one of them.
I'm no case do l recommend tight
lacing. whether for the short, the lean,
the Young or the old. Is is an abomina-
ton; and to the Americans, who so
sensibly encouraged the wearing of the
straight corset, which is today
the most universally popular Of stays, /
offer sincere congratulations.
Years ago, when the type of corset
that bends inward at the center of the
waist line was I'm fashion, causing the
figure below the belt to protrude in the
ugliest way. besides giving the wearer
most uncomfortable sensations, / went
to famous corsetiere here in Paris and
asked her why she did not introduce
corset. Will you
please mind your own business, M.
Worth. was her retort, and leave me
to mind miner

spoiled, nor her health and comfort

straight brimmed hats with us in the
early spring-certainly in the summer.
And with these straight, wide brims,
which are so becoming to most faces.
we shall have high crowns, surrounded
with outstanding feathers, or a cluster
of handsome feathers placed high at the
left side with an enormous osprey
springing from the midst. BY the time
these particular hats are really fash
ionable we shall no longer permit our
headcovers to rest on the back of our

placed directly at the left side-will
again be in favor, and the hat will be

dlssipations so caustically reviewed
and criticised by Father Vaughan. One
lady of my acquaintance, thoroughly
good woman, with two priestly broth
ers and a united Catholic family. has
two daughters. The lovelier o fthe two
was sent to a fashionable Protestant
academy to get with more facility
into the best society," When she had
graduated arrangements were made to
bring her out as debutante. She sub
mitted for a time but presently in
formed her parents that she did not
love the gay world, but wished to be-
come a nun. This decision was blow
to them, but they yielded to the
daughters wish. She is now a member
of one of the most austere of orders

daughter to a Protestant fashionable
institute and she lost her faith there,
