It is not so much what you do as how

wear It; what you are as what you ap-

talent hidden in obscurity. no matter how
great. Fame passes by those who have
lest their voice through fright. and popu-
larity perches on the banners OF those
who make loud noise. The length of its
stay is. however. often governed by real
merit.
There is an old story OF reduced gen

very needy and very much frightened
and she made her way through the

Guarding the Baby from Flies.

Although babies seem perfectly indit-
ferent TO the swarms OF nies which light
on them. their presence IS a matter that
should not be regarded lightly by the
mother For flies. as has been proved.
are one OF the greatest sources OF con-
tagion and too much care cannot be taken
to prevent them from lighting on any
thing which the baby IS likely 70 take in
his mouth.
As a preCautiOn against this pest the
baby should be kept scrupulously clean.
Particularly should his mouth be washed
often for the old milk acts as a special
lure TO the fly. While the child is sleeping
a mosquito netting should be hung over
his bed and should be pulled down so far
that it completely covers the side and
mattress During playtlme an excellent
idea Is 10 suspend some mosquito bar
from the center Of the room where the
baby is placed so as 20 create a sort Of
little cage for him.
II by any chance a hy should light on
the rubber nipple OF HIS bottle. Il should
not be replaced IN his mouth before thor
oughly washing in n solution OF boracic

The Role of the Corset.

In these days when the figure is ADJUST

figure, corsets are playing very pretea-
tious role in the sphere OF women's dress.
Consequently. their manufacturers are

But this isn't as uncomfortable as Il

build Of the corset will determine how q

SECRET OF POPULARITY.

II IS not hard TO be popular II one can
cultivate certain virtues. The popular
woman may have decided opinions OF her

never allows holidays 10 pass without
proper observances which bring pleasure
to others. and never sees sights Of any
description. that Is, she never appears 70
see them
She may have sensitive feelings IN
abundance. but nobody knows Of their
existence. She never talks OF them, and
never acknowledges them by taking Of
fense at the words and acts OF others.
She may find Il necessary 70 cut apart a
friendship or drop an acquaintance, but
both are done SO quietly that she is
never suspected. Perhaps you think pop
