To Be AaresahIe.

The girl who gets grievance, who
feels herself i'll used, who is quite sure
that nobody understands her, has a
mental ailment and needs treatment.
Now. am going TO prescribe.
The best cure is action. FIJI every
hour of the day with interests. Acquire
hobby (many people speak slight.
ingly of hobby. but a hobby is a
great thing). Throw yourself with en-.
thusiasm into all you do. Try to make
everybody you meet happy. Forget
that you yourself exist. and the first
thing you know you will acquire that
wholesome, happy state of mind which
is the most beneficial of traits.

AUTUMN FASHION GOSSIP
Some Valuable and Timely Points for
the Woman Who Cares.

The directoire waistcoat promises
to last over another season, and pro-
vision has been made for very orig
inal and elegant effects in this regard.
Ribbons have been taken up en-
Enthusiastically by milliners during the
summer. and in satin and velvet are
to have great vogue in the winter
millinery also.
Bordure satins follow in the wake
of the beautiful bordered summer
stuffs and some exquisite effects are
secured In this line of materials.
Buttons of all kinds, but particular
ly those covered with satin or with the
costume material, are being used more
lavishly than ever upon the early au-
tumn models.
Cedar red or cedar brown-which
are one and the same thing and sug.
gest the old time mahogany, though
with an added softness of tone-bids
fair to be popular autumn color and
the chaudron or copper tones keen
their hold upon public favor.
Chiffon broadcloth appears in all the
new colorings and of a lightness
and softness even SURPRISING that
achieved by the manufacturers last
year. Fancy broadcloths in one tone
colorings and woven satin or cbeyron
stripes are numerous.
The deep reddish brown and brown
ish purple shades which have claimed
attention as relieving colors this sum
mer are exploited earnestly among the
fall silks and velvets. Wild JSum
concord grape, prune and various 9th
er kindred shades seem likely to figure
prominently among the winter color
ings.

Ostrich. especially in high grades, is

afford 1t. 1t will not grow less val
liable, but will be more expensive as
time goes on.
Although ostrich plumes hold first
place in the matter of decorations for.
the hat and coiffure. ostrich fibers are
worked up into other decorative
pieces. Pompons and many airy
fancy branchings are seductiyely
placed on the latest millinery. In Fig.
