Feeling and Character.

Spiritual strength consists of two
things-power of will and power of
self-restraint. 1t requires two things,
therefore, for its existence-strong
feelings and a strong command over
them.
Now 1t is here that We make a great
mistake: We mistake strong feelings
for strong character. A man who
bears all before him-befOre whose
frown domestics tremble, and whose
bursts of fury make the children of
the house quake-because he has his
will obeyed, and his own way i'm all
things, We call him strong man. The
truth is, that is the weak man: it is
his passions that are Strong: he, mas
tered by them, is weak. You must
measure the strength of a man by his
power of the feelings which he sub
dues, not by the power of these which
subdue him-Frederick W. Robert
son.

FOR THE SuftfAeR
Forecast Of Materials
apd Styles That Will
Be Popular in the
NArn1 NoDths.

It Is not known definitely before
March or April what to expect Of
spring and summer modes. In the
matter of materials the problem Of
choice should not be more confusing
than usual. The first of the year al
ways brings out an advance choosing
of summer materials and clever wom-
en- have learned to pick up some Of
these materials and trimmings instead
Of trusting to the mid-season display.
The lingerie fr0cks are chiefly of
the type popular last summer. with
clinging blouse and skirt set together
with waistband of lace or embroidery,
and this waistband is located accord
ing to the caprice of the designer. The
stumbling block for the designer of
the sheer summer frock at present is
the skirt. ~
The clinging directoire skirt or
plain. close-fitting circular skirt is all
very well for supple satins. crepes.
broadcloths. etc.. but for batiste, lawn
and other summer materials it is hard
ly possible. even when cleverly
fitted slip is worn under it, and for
the genuine tub frock the thing is out
of the question.
1t will be interesting to see what
the developments will be along this
line later in the season, but in this
advance stage of the game makers are
merely experimenting and some of the
experiments show skillfully gored,
close-fitting tops with plating intro
duced below. For example, one of
these frocks made for a southern
wardrobe was of batiste and had lines
of inset valenciennes insertion Dor
dered by tiny frills of lace running
down from the waistband half way
down the skirt in front and sides, this
part Of the skirt beng quite closely
fitted.
Each line of trimming is finished at
the bottom with motif of lace and
from this motif starts a group of
piaits. three In number. giving suffi-
Gent fullness to the filmy material at
the bottom of the skirt. The bodice
of this little model is good, too. and
simple enough to be easily copied by
4 home seamstress. Small batiste COW
cred buttons are set along lines of in
sertion in the sleeves and. bodice front,
forming the only decoration.
The long sleeve is seen in all the
sheer frocks and many women will
sigh resretfully next summer for the
short sleeves of yesteryear. A pretty
,ong sleeve is almost as much of
problem as the skirt, and the sleeve
tucked regularly or In groups has
been done to death this winter, so
that. though it will doubtless be the
model most common in the summer
frocks. the fastidious will strive hard
to get away from it.

hEALTh IN DANCE
Gan Be MADE to Take
the Place Of Regular
Gympastie Exer-
ciSeS.

The dancing that girls should do
that they may acquire health and
grace is not done on the waxed floor
Of ballroom, but on the rough con-
crete or canvas floor of a gymnasium.
or even the carpet of bedroom.
Before the recent Juror for artistic
dancing that has gained such an i'm
retus In the last year or two with
watching Genee. Isadora Duncan and
Gertrude Hoffman, our women had
learned the benefit of what is called
athletic dancing.
To waltz or two step well develops a
swaying grace and is essential to so
cial success. but its benefit on the
health may be questioned. The hour at
which social dancing is done. not to
mention the heated room. tight clothes
and rich food late at night. does not
make it a great health builder.
Athletic dancing, on the other hand,
builds up the muscles of the legs.
ankles and back, increases the endur-
ance of the heart and gives the whole
body more p0ise and grace. There Is
much swaying of the body and use
of the arms. SO that every muscle Is
brought into play.
Many of the old folk dances are
adapted to this work and when the
steps are once learned they can be
practiced instead of regular gymnas-
tic exercises in ones own room. A
half hour of such dancing is said to
be equal to five-mile walk, and if the
windows are thrown open during the
practice there can be no more health
full form of athletic work for girls.
In getting rid of fleshy hips this
gymnastic dancing is one of the latest
fads, and the woman who suffers with
weak ankles or If she is inclined to
stumble and walk uncertainty will find
it beneficial.
AS the muscles of the legs get more
exercise than those of the upper part
of the body, it is well to alternate
the dancing with dumb-bell or wand
to equalize control of all
in the body.
