The Woman Who Succeeds.

Sitting with folded hands, resigned
TO a life of railing of fate, is a form
Of DEATH
Who does not know women who be-
ueve that there Is nothing for them but
keeping on the gray routine Of days,
with never a hint of grace or glory?
You visit them, and find them lack
ing in any charm Of dress or manner,
says an exchange.
They repine about bad health or
hard luck, yet all around them you see
the reason for that bad health or what
they call bad luck.
The dust lies thick upon their books
and pictures. Their hair is untidy.
They lack even the desire for clean
hness. Nothing ever comes to this
mood. 1t repels and drives away the
forces that aid us up to the heights.
We may long for a great many
things that we feel are beyond reach,
but IL we put our hand to the nearest
task that confronts us, the far Off
thing comes nearer-New York Mail

which is pleated and joined to
smoothly fitted yoke. Jersey cloth is
being much used for the purpose, but
soft finished moire and broadcloth
are exceedingly smart for waists of
the kind, cashmere will be much worn
and indeed every seasonable material
can be utilized. The waist made Of
plain black with flounce of shep-
herds check, or some similar fancy
material, would be smart and novel;
the waist of Jersey cloth with skirt Of
silk or wool in matching color would
make handsome gown, and the waist
finished separately and made from
Jersey cloth, moire, broadcloth, serge
or other material, will be found an
exceedingly serviceable and practical
garment.
The waist is made with front, side
fronts, backs, side-backs and under
arm cores. The sleeves are Of the
plain close fitting two-piece sort and
the stock collar finishes the neck.
The neck can be cut out on any Of
the indicating lines and the waist
worn with chemisette or yoke Of
thin material, and it can be cut off on
either perforated line ifshorter length
is more becoming.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
twenty-four or twenty-seven inches
wide, two and three-quarter yards
thirty-two, two and an eighth yards
forty-four, or one and three-quarter
yards sixty-four or seventy-two inches

Fashion Notes.

For collars, revers and cuffs, heavy
Ottoman silk is much used in combina-
tion with broadcloth.
Lace wells, in black, white and cream
color, are much in favor, but are more
stylish than becoming.
There is a distinct promise of the
mannish coat sleeve with no fullness
at all at the shoulder.
Black shoes tied with ribbon the
color of the gown are one OF the latest
of the Partisan fancies.
The season promises to be season
Of extra long, narrow coats over plain,
striped or checked gowns.
Lace princess gowns are pretty
fashion, and Irish crochet, either the
real or the imitation, is used.
Gold braid will be quite as popular
upon coiffures this coming season as
ribbon has been in the past.
Among the fads of the moment is the
one of lacing the sleeves all the way
up on the outside of the arm
For slim-throated wearers, some nov
ell neckpieces show little bows ar
ranged at the top of the stock
The short coat had hardly come into
style when 1t was whisked away to
make room for warmer things.
With dark suits jabots OF bright
colors are used, made usually of mus
Inn, mousselin de sole, and lace.
While gilt buckles still retain their
favor, some fancy footwear have buc-
kles matching the color Of the gown.
There is new white wash suede
that has taken the place of SILK anc
Isle gloves with fashionable women.
Silk-covered cord is a special trim
ming that makes a gown look individ
ual, and Is thicker than what is known
as rattail.
Mousselin and gauze ruching Is used
to finish gowns at the ends of tho
sleeves, around the bottom Of tho
skirt and elsewhere.
The new draperies are striking II
effect. Birds and leaves and flower
riot over them in gorgeous abundance
Striped suits are In favor, but tn
effects are rather indefinite.

Guide Your chiidren's Dreams.

On parents an added responsibility
Is imposed. Childhood is the most
impressionabe, the most suggestible
period of life, says H. Addington
Bruce in Success Magazine" 1t Is to
experiences of childhood that the
greater number of dream-provoked
maladies are due. 1t was in childhood,
for example, that the young man with
the headaches, depression, dizziness,
cold, and uncomfortable fears sus-
tained the shocks that were the start
ing-points of his terrible dreams OF
after-life See to it, therefore, that
the environment of your child leaves
only pleasurable impressions ON his
plastic mind. Keep the gruesome, the
morbid, the depressing out of his llfe
Choose carefully not only his COM
panions, but the books you read to
him. the stories you tell him, and even
the pictures you hang on his bedroom
WALL
"It is certain" says an excellent au-
thority, "that the impressions which
surround the sleeper and precede sleep
ought to be of nature conducive to
cheerful condition of the mind when
It lapses into rest as well as when II
awakens to full consciousness. Thds
greater care should be exercised IN
the choice of situation and adornment
of our sleeping apartments than is US
ual even among the most thoughtful
Of us; for it is fair to suppose ina.
the last waking impressions and
thoughts often create more lasting
Impressions than is commonly reoog-
nized." ..
And. when you have taken every
precaution, question the child occa-
sionaily about his dreams. From their
nature and frequency you may gain
hints saving him from trouble ana
YOU from much unhappiness in later
years.

RIDDLE OF The AaEs.


Maude, you know that I adore you,
That I'm yearning ever for rod;
Ever since nrst time I met you.
Been unable to forget you.
Ready to forsake my duty
Just to gaze upon your beauty;
And whatever task your choosing
Well you know I'm not refusing.

That imperils my digestion,
Seeking ever a solution
OF puzzing evolution.
Do not wish to hurt your feeling,
But, my love, nay brains reeiing,
And / really must be knowing
Ere the p9blem's got me going;
In our youthful days aforetime,
In the callow and the raw time
When the world resembled heaven
You were 10 and l was Z.
But with added years q plenty
i am 30, you are TO
And ask, though I may rue It,
Tell me. Maudy. how you do II?

would be exhausted and irritable
through the day on only that amount.
one woman can go to bed at mid.
night and arise at in the morning
seemingly refreshed and active; an
other would go to sleep In her chair
If compelled to sit up each night until
IL o'clock.
No two persons are alike in this
question of sleep, and each must. to a
certain extent, make the laws, or re-
spect the laws, which govern her g..
pecial case.
But, granting this, there is such a
thing as self-indulgence being mistak-
en- for the law of nature Just why 1t
Is an effort to get up in the morning
1t would take specialist to debate;
but 1t is fact.
Those few and fortunate persons
who delight in arising early should
have success as their portion in this
world If notices are condensed truth.
The great anu rebell1ous majority
are compelled to get up through per-
suasion, either by an alarm clock or
urgent necessity.
The thing to do is to get up, wheth-
er one wants to argue the question or
not. 1t is not healthy to sleep through
the early morning hours. and only i'll
ness should salve ones conscience
when eating breakfast in bed
Not because one Is afraid of being
called lazy; not because one breads
the cry of shame" from sturdier folk,
but because it does not work out we'll
as a health factor. 1t has been tried
and 1t has failed.
10 Is better to go to bed at 10 o'clock
every night, and arise at Z in the morn
ing than to retire at midnight and get
up at o'clock or later.
Those who get up before 8 o'clock
do so from sleeplessness or necessity,
but 1t Is not necessary for health. One
wise man says that there is always
just so much work for every one to do
In the world, and If you get up before
8 o'clock you do just that much more
work
If woman persuades herself that
1t is necessary for her to sleep until
10 o'clock I'm the morning, she should
look back on the day and realize how
stampeded by work she was because
she began so late.
Her waking hours are mad rush
from noon until bedtime. She is so
tired when it is over that her extra
two hours of "panlering to nature" has
harmed more than helped her health.
Every doctor who studies nerves and
their influence over the mind will ad-
wise a woman to take eight or nine
hours sleep every night, no longer, and
compel herself to get up at the end
of that time To Offset any sleepiness
she should sleep for half an hour In
the afternoon.
The best time is about 4 o'clock.
and if the afternoon is a strenuous
time with her, then she can take her
nap before dinner. This will refresh
and give her an appetite.
If too much sleep deadens one, re-
member that too little sleep ages one
as nothing else does but continued Ill
health. Trying to get along on six
hours sleep or less takes ten years
off a woman's life in looks, just at the
age she needs most to look yung.
1t throws her digestion out of tune,
dulls her perceptions, and makes her

The problem of the right amount OF

the ruling moral as well as physical
factors in life.-Philadelphia Ledger.
