THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

A YOUNG woman who invariably
n looks restful and properly gown
ed says that her success is due to the
taking of a little time and the indulg-
ing Of a certain amount OF vanity.
ITS a big saving to purse and feelings
and looks" she explains. "The women
who are habitually running after new
hats and new froclSs. dissatisfied with
what they have got. do not make
right use of their mirrors. She who
has sufficiently studied her complexion.
her features. her hair. won't make a
mistake in the buying of a new hat
She'll spot her quarry in the twin
king of an eye.' and. having got Just
the right thing. she won't be in a
desperate hurry to change it for some-
thing new. There isn't any doubt
about it that sacred little moments

OF prevention for thes forehead wrin-

NEW HAT HOLDER.

Taking care OF a hat when one is
not wearing 1t is always some trouble.
and putting 1t away in a box. from
which Il must be taken out every time
one wants to use IT, seems a great
bother. especially when one is in a
hurry.
Various hat holders have been con-
trivec. some useful and some not
much OF a success. but the best one
yet seen and the most steady is a
strong spiral coil OF heavy wire. the
bottom being larger around than the
crown Of a hat and the top much
smaller.
A girl can buy these spiral wire
holders and make them look very
pretty and dainty herself The wire
must be covered with ribbon 10 match
the closet fittings. The covering is
done by fastening the end OF the rib
bon securely to the bottom end Of the
wire. then winding the ribbon closely
around the wire all the way to the top.
Each end should be finished with a
bow. The closets should be furnished
with as many OF these holders as its
owner has hats in use.

THE inequalities Of the gifts Of the

whose little housemaid has a complex
ion of peaches and cream, the texture
OF the skin like that Of a baby. The
mistress does not begin 70 have as
good a complexion. and the point that
most troubles her is an inner convic-
ton that the little maid does not wash
her face as often as is considered cor
rect by persons who have been prop
erly brought up.
Il know Mary doesn't wash her face
every day." she told a friend recently
Il am morally certain OF Il. and look

clean as any person can who lives in a
filthy town. and look at me. look
clean all right. but my skin is thick,
and I've about as much color as a tan
shoe. What's the use OF trying to live
up 70 moral standards when one has
such shining example OF the useless
ness OF washing constantly before
one?"
