the wearer. They may be remodeled
in this way: Cut out the heels, open
the leg so that from the toe to the
end of the opening is the desired length
of foot. Make or cut from some other
pair the heels and as much of the
foot as is needed to lengthen out the
first pair and insert in the opening.
Be sure to cut the heel and portion Of
the foot deep enough so that the stock
ing will not be too small across the
instep This is much better than put
ting in entirely new feet, as there will
be no seams near the toes, and the feet
usually shrink only in length

Enormous black cherries arc used on
some of the hats.
Coats for girls suits are plain and
almost straight.
The latest Partisan novelty is the
hand-tucked waist.
Some of the standing collars are
hemstitched around the top.
Belts will match the skirts instead
of the waists this season.
Most of the new crepe blouses are
inset with Irish crochet lace.
Pretty little neck bows are made of
colored open work embroidery.
The new hats, almost without excep-
ton, show exaggerated crowns.
Swiss embroidery, whether hand done
or machine, gives excellent effects.
Some of the colored linens for suits
have pin stripe of white through
them.
Sleeves are longer and fiatter and
they closely follow the lines Of the
arm.
Hair ornaments are large, the new
est barrettes being from two to three
inches wide.
A charming finish to the waist is the
tie known as the directoire, made of
crochet lace.
Dainty hand-painted lace blouses are
being worn with the dressy tailored
suits.
Tulle is to be much worn for sashes
and to veil and tone down an other
wise garish gown.
Overdresses of one sort or another
are seen everywhere on the more elab-

Gray hair requires more care than
brown, blonde or black, in order to

to show yellOwish tones, which are far

The best way to overcome scrawny
arms is to practice tensing exercises
many times daily. Stretch the arm at
right angles to the body, holding them
selves very taut; clench the hand and
draw up to the shoulder, using as much
force as if lifting heavy weight. Re-
peat until the arm begins to get stiff.
Massaging the arms with hot olive oil
for fifteen minutes night and morn
ing will also help to make them plump.

The Too-CIever Woman.

Man unjustly accuses woman of en-
joying a monopoly of vanity, when, as
a matter of fact, no woman is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner of its assump-
tion on state occasions. but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes clever woman, but the very in-
slant he suspects she is cleverer than
he, he takes fright. His vanity is
hurt.
lnasmuch as awe and love are not
given to rambling leafy lanes hand in
hand, and man in his superiority likes
to believe woman dependent upon him
mentally as well as for creature needs.
the woman who is really clever will
never allow her cleverness to obtrude
itself too strongly upon men. wit is a
good servant, but bad master. The
girl who acquires reputation for put
ting on airs, or being smart" is never
popular among men. The too-clever
woman is handicapped by her clever
ness. 1t sometimes pays to pamper
foolish, egotistic man, and use wit
with discretion.

The carriage of the figure is even
more important than the lines Of the
figure itself. A beautiful figure poorly
carried shows none of its beauty, while
poor figure well carried with grace
and dignity gives distinction which
is in itself beautiful. To acquire q
good carriage it is necessary to study
ror, to then remember to take that pose
whenever rising from chair, and to
hold it steadfastly, says Harper's Ba-
Ear. 1t requires constant watchful-

knows that nothing in this world can
possibly take place without cause.
and that the cause must be sufficient
to produce an effect. The most ignor
ant person, 1t would SEEM should know
that the arbitrary number, thirteen.
has no more power to produce any eff.
feet, to cause any calamity, than a
drop Of Ink. The fact that the Ink or
paint, instead of being in the shape of
round drop, is put into the form OF
the number thirteen, does not add any
force or power to 1t. A drop of ink or
paint on the door of hotel room
would have just as much power to pro-
duce harm as 1t would If formed into
the figure thirteen.

Some New York farmers asked the
state commission of agriculture in New
York city to undertake to persuade
families to go from the city into the
country for the summer, and work on
the land. Even If they had to work
for their board and car fare, life in the
open would be worth while to many
growing boys who ordinarily have to
spend the hot months cooped up in the
crowded town.

Wash Up. Not Down.

When washing painted walls or var
nished woodwork most people begin at
the top and wash down, the water run
ming down over the dirt, causing
streaks to appear, which are hard to
rub out. You can avoid this by start
ing at the bottom and washing up. A
good cleanser for this purpose is cas-
tile soap, and a half pound to one and
half gallons of water. Boil until dis
solved.

All true labor is sacred, and blessed
Is he who has found his work." says
| Carlyle. An American poet extols
labor as life, worship, glory, honor and
other beautiful things. While the poets
| and moralists and makers Of saws and
maxlms unite in the praise of industry,
there are but few who have any. good
words for idleness. One Of the first
| rhymes taught children Is that Satan
| finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do" The example of the ant and
| the busy bee are held up as worthy of
human Imitation, and we are gravely
Informed that Though slaves may In.
dulge In sloth, 1t is a most royal thing
to labor" The Importance of being up
and doing betimes is illustrated by
such familiar proverbs as "the early
bird catches the worm" But all the
while the fact Is ignored that IL the
worm were not up and stirring when
he might just as well be in bed. he
wouldn't be caught by the early bird :
and we know perfectly well that slaves
never can or do indulge in sloth, and
are well aware that the ant and busy
bee only work the first half of their
lives, In order to lay up a store which
will enable them to pass the other half
In eating and sleeping. While agreeing
with Carlyle that to have found ones
true work Is blessedness, we need not
believe 1T Is blessed thing to work
all the time. While most people are
overwhelmed with work, the few who
are overwhelmed with leisure do not
begin to derive the enjoyment from 1t
that the busy man obtains from. his
little snatches of idleness. To stand
Idle In the market place and cry, "No
man has hired me-" is not pleasant to
the starving man. For him the "dolce
far niente" has no delights, but when II
comes as the reward Of work well done,
1t Is sweet. DR.. Johnson, himself a
great worker, said that "all hope some
day to be idle" They are willing to
toll up the hill Of life In their early
years In the hope of descending ifs
downward slope in idleness. Wouldn't
1t be better to throw little episodes OF
ldleness Into ones early life, and moi
work so hard as to bring decrepitude
Into ones later years? Between labor
and idleness there should be COLDER

the source OF greatest danger to the
national life of Cuba. He furthermore
has the courage to speak plainly re-
garding II In his message to the Cuban
congress, hoping that the new republic,
through self-discipline may curb the
characteristics for which southern
races in general are unfortunately
noted. The Cuban president links the
tendency to form and MAINTAIN third
parties with the individual tendency
toward rebellion against everything
wearing the badge OF discipline or au-
thority. Perhaps the manifestation of
the rebellious tendency is not due so
much to antagonism to all authority as
1t is to authority directed by another
person. The great trouble with many
Of the Cuban people, those fitted only
to be hewers Of wood and drawers of
water, is that they want to be generals
or governors. There are others of more
or less capacity who are natural mar
plots. 1t may seem unbecoming to hurl
stones at leaders who place personal
ambition above stability Of government
as long as we have some glass houses
In our own country, but It is a fact
| that the personal equation finds its
| most grotesque manifestations among
our southern neighbors. Thus far the
government Of the new Cuba has dealt
admirably with the evil that is recog.
nized to be the great national peril
The summary treatment of an incipient
insurrection, which tended to inflame
the spirit Of which Gomez complains,
set good example If there is firm
dealing with the chronic malcontents
and at the same time the masses are
educated up to sound ideas of the OBJ.

state, 1t is to be hoped, will find its
course lying In calm waters. The coun.

work for the prosperity of all and the
