the New Idea Woman's Maya
zine for July
If you worry yourself to death
over the every day anuoyances
of life, you will deserve all the
suffering it creates. such as
sickness, poverty, disappolnt-
meut and loss of good looks,
and can only boast a warped
disposition.
All these conditions keep off
the good things that might be
yours tor the taking.
In this great plan of creation
it is certain that every one has
a place; and if we are not In it
and fulfilling the obligations it
requires, no matter how hard,
whose fault is it? We surely
cannot blame that tact upon
the Creator, for humanity
should be constantly begging
his pardon for misundesrtand-
ing Him so frequently as it
does
No, it is a lack of mental &C
tivity and desire to dodge our
m oral responsibilities; we
should put our fingers on our
lips and remember that once we
were given dominion over the
things this of earth ourselves to
be only a little lower than the

If we expect good living to
drop into our lap like a Iripe

troubling ourselves to earn it,
needless TO say we will get a |
shock, and 1t will take all the
spunk we can scare up to cush-
ion it so that it does not bowl

CONVENIENT POWDER BOXES
The Bath Boz Now More Popular
Than the Puff.

The bath powder box and pun have
ousted the face pun. partly because
other ways Of applying powder to the
face are liked better than by the use
OF a pun aud partly because the bath
pun Is such a comfort and Joy. Dainty
women are never without their large
bath powder set. which includes a box
or receptacle OF glass or lacquer and a
pun four times the size OF an ordinary
pun
Japanese boxes are charming and
cost less than the glass or silver kind.
They measure eight or ten inches in
diameter and are as deep as an ordin.

as the bottom. They can be had In
white with a pink, blue or green lac.

entail decoration. They have been
made In other colors as wel--in black
for instance. The ribbon, tied in the
center OF the huge swan's-down pun
that is as large in circumference as
the box in which II belongs. matches
the color OF the lining OF the box.
Other bath powder boxes are made
of plain crystal and fitted with silver
top, OF one can buy expensive cut glass
boxes with an deliberately chased OF
embossed silver top.
Where price has to be considered q
very excellent substitute for the Jap
anese lacquer box is found IN the

are about six or eight inches across
and fairly deep-deep enough TO hold

BLUE BEST OF ALL.
Excellent Material to Use for the New
Autumn Suit.

In the autumn tailor suit tints there
Is numbered new blue bearing the
honored name of Edison. This is also
among the faded shades; that is, so
soop as It is put into juxtaposition
with navy or peacock. At first glance
it seems to be of the electric family,
as naturally 1t should be, but II is
much more dull, fact which does not
seem quite just to the great modern
magician whose name II bears. Al
any rate, this new blue seems to take
with woman generally. and bids fair
TO be tremendously popular for the
simpler type of tailormades. One rea-
son is that navy has been used for
so long and that peacock Is rather
startling and has way Of swearing
at any other tint OF azure with which
IL is combined AS blue OF dull tone
is always a practical shade for year
round utility wear, 1t is the best of
all colors for the woman who, greatly
against her natural inclination, must
make one costume do duty for va
riety OF occasions.

tive In the hole and focus the camera
for the lantern slide size. Expose with
q medium stop for about 20 seconds
and treat the plate the same as with

When dry. says Popular Mechanics.
the lantern slide plate may be tinted
any color by means OF liquid colors.
These can be purchased from any
photo material store. In coloring the
slide plate II is only necessary to
molsten the gelatine Aim from time to
time with piece OF cloth dampened
In water. The colors may then be
spread evenly with a soft brush. which
should be kept In motion to prevent
spots.
The slide Is put together by placing
