Whereas this gay capital begins TO lose

The Witehing Hour Of Afternoon Tea.
After very long dctour l now como
back TO the witching hour Of and
afternoon tea, when tho Partisan
world takes itself to its favorito 80

chocolate. At Columhins yesterday
afternoon "A group of pretty American
girls were talking about the gifts thev

If YOU have old ostrich feathers past
their prime. a good idea is to take
them to a feather shop, where they
win make them into feather all the
way round trimming for your hat. II
the feathers are of the long variety,
they may be converted into a willow
arrangement by knotting the ends; if
not. they can be made into a lobster
curl These all round trimmings are
made on wire frames and are exceed

Advice In the Amen.
Before close I want to give you
word of advice. Don't wear yourself
out bearing grudges. It is Christian
to forgive. but it is i'm addition COM
mon sense. Tho laws of religion are
often the laws of health, and this is
one of the cases. ] know people who
remember every little i'll turn that was
ever done 10 them If they don't bear
malice they certainly brood over these
things. and keeping them always in
mind has "a. decided tendency to pun
down their health.
Cultivate a short memory. Il is very
useful. Simply refuse to remember
disagrceable things. Put them away
from your mind every time they como
into IT, Don't notice sights. Forgive
I'm the best way of all by absolutely
blotting them out This will be merely
selfish consideration on your part.
You will be prolongmg your own life
aud preserving your own peace of
mind and happiness; but, strange TO
say, unlike most selfish actions. yours
will reap reward from your fellow
beings.
You win become immensely popular,
for If there is one woman appreciated
above all others in present day society,
with its frequent changes and up
hcavals. il is she who is wise enough
always 10 forget the disagreeable and
never TO make others uncomfortable
by bearing a grudgo.
