WHITE SATIN FROCKs


Soft satins still remain among the
fayorite fabrics for lance frocks Of the
simpler kind. and when the question Of
economy must be considered there are
few ball gowns of a more satisfactory
material than this. When the white
satin evening gown mas served IFS orig
inal purpose 1t can always be utilized
IN another season as a lining under
net or chiffon. And as a third degree
OF utility il al do duty as a lace
trimmed evening pe~tticoat.
The short lengths Of the new skirts
are girlish and convenient to the fair
owners, and the partners as well.
Frequently a simple frock Of white
satin is built on full lines. The skirt
is slightly gathered, the bodice is
draped and a graceful frill of alencon
lace falls beneath the top line. A tiny
vest Of gathered tulle fills in the space
between the crossed bertha lines.
But softness and fulness are the
guiding lines, and this is achieved by
the home drossmaker. These frocks are
friends. indeed, and should be vel.
coined with open arms.

careful and thorough way of running
a home. an office or a shop. The idea
is to avoid losing temper and getting
into what used to be called a sew"
over every thing that goes wrong.
To the fussy woman who insists that
matters must move as though by clock
work, if she Is to maintain a cheerful
face, life becomes a yeritable torture.
To those about her she is simply
known as a crank and her objections or
remonstrances by and by mean less
than nothing.
So things on the average go far worse
than if she seemed to take them more
easily, oiling the wheels of daily life
with a little kindness and tolerance.
Sometimes we hear a woman speak
ing about her temper as though it were
a mark Of aristocratic birth and royal
nature. The opposite is true.
The finest lineage and the highest
intel igence is always marked by self
control and patience in trying circum-
stances.
The tendency to fume and rage and
brood wei every untoward occurrence
is the badge of ignorance ugly naturr
and. as a rule. oor health. So. IL you
find yourself getting mad" at people
for slight cause try to cure yourself
for you are In danger of inviting nerve
troubles that destroy brain and eye
sight when age comes on.
The charitably-minded look with pity
n the everlasting crank who rants ana
lages at every awry happening n
will even be thrown into a rag by an
item in the newspaper that may Of
fend..
Violent moods and speech are worse
then wasted. What a spectacle people
make of themselves often in public, In
cars, restaurants and shops, Tuning
over some mistake or fancied incivility
as though there were nothing else In
life.
How dreadfully cheap and petty and
repeliant such persons seem to the sane
observer. who would dismiss a similar
offense with a smile. The bad-tempered
woman is always at a disadvantage.
| She never looks really well.
Her enemies will take advantage Of
her easy RACES to provoke her at times
when she needs all her cam and poise.
when she is giving some social enter
tainment or at some public function
when her hysteria makes her ridiculous.
Learn to rise above the annoyances
and, above all, never allow one matter
to lead to a train of other ills.
Train your mind and your lips to
some little maxim of good sense and
happiness that o a utter as a
charm when a favorite piece of china
is broken or a telephone operator tries

This sort of yielding and giving in to
the smailsannoyances Is what produces
that detestable thing known as a
chronic bad temper-but confused with
temperament, nerves and fine fiber by
the possessors.
Indeed, some of them do not even
seek to excuse the informity, but boas,
of an ugly disposition as though it
were a mark of high spirits, superior
bi tn and other fire things, says the
writer in the Philadelphia Press.
1t really is a disease and it comes
from letting go at the moment of each
h%arrening that tends to irritate-sucn

delivery boys without change, a jani-

with a sigh she took away her most
tempting dishes untasted.
