Ruskln,a Iona Sentences.

Ruskin, 1t is said, has written more
sentences of inordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison

Did anyone ever get any good
from talking about hard times, or
fault-finding, or allowing himself to
think that the lack of a college edu-
cation handicaps him, or that he does
not have the chances others have, or
that there is no use for him to tryssto
do anything above the ordinary, and
so on? Gan you recall any mar
having been made better, or attracting
to himself more friends, or pleasanter
surroundings by such thinking? II
not. then you can make up your mind
that such thoughts are waste of
energy. Though he may think he
has grounds for anger, hate, envy,
fear. worry, and the like, did such
thinking ever get anything worth
having On the other hand haven t
you noticed that the man who doesn t
complain about his territory or his
circumstances, or his lack of early
advantages or people or things, but
keeps right on plugging. thinking and
doing things that are worth while. -

Importers and modistes are OF the

have great vogue. and several tail

from abroad. The colorings are ex.
quisite and reveal many new and
lovely tones. says the Delineator for
September.
Checked and striped velvets are
shown made up into gowns intended
for use at morning lectures and at
lunchaons. They are light of weight,
supple in quality and show both close
and open designs. The hair.line vel
vets have a.l the attractiveness of a
corded weave hut none Of its severity.
While II is quite true that velvets
showing stripes and checks are no
novelty, having been used last season,
the beautiful color tones which the
new ones possess promise to make
them desirable. Where the hair lines
are of contrasting color such as
black on sandstone. or white on the
sapphire blue. they produce shaded
effect which is particularly pleasing.
