you, but do not do this until you are
very, very sure that you really love

WEARING GRAY.


The curious thing about graz is that
women never understand it's tones. The
middle-aged, the invalid. the anaemic,
the unstyllsh and many others of their
kind choose gray whenever in doubt.
They don't look any further. If they
didn't want to wear black. they buy
gray, haphazard, with a satisfied feel
ing that they couldn't have made. a
mistake, IA a writer.
They have made a serious mistake.
None of these women should wear gray.
AS a rule 1t produces the most ~lifeless
look to the face that any color does,
except black. Young girls, who have
brilliant coloring, can wear 1t: and
those weli-fed matrons who nave
rounded lines and red cheeks. can
choose gray without another thought.
But the pale, the frail, the middle-
aged woman with lines under the eyes
and without color in her, cheeks. should
dread gray as she does a dull, wet day.
1t ~depresses every look Of vitality about
her.

can do to aid each other in a pinch.
Orr friends and neighbors are closer
to us than strangers, after all. They
may err in various ways and talk just
az we do ourselves. but they know us
our good points as well as our bad
ones, and for this reason we must
sift their offenses against us free from
every grain of excuse.
Persons who get on in the world and
over personal grievances or bewail the
fhlsity of friends. They learn to know
life and people and themselves. They
do not expect answering loyalty from
those they are thrown with fer they
know their own hearts and desires and
the general balance that exists between
characters.
Above all, they make the most of
pleasant companionships without ana
lying them too deeply. Life is made
up to a great extent, or our attitude
toward Others and theirs to us. We
must keep our friends rather thar cast
them off.
The personal equation enters into
everything and the woman who makes
friends and holds them will be far
happier than one who allows unimpcr-
tant small matters to break In upon her
circle. First thing she knows, she
will fine herself aloof and unsought, for
the reason that others of her sex learn
to give and take more easily in these
matters.
She may congratulate herself that
she is more sincere than they, but no
one else will TAXI this view of IT. They
will probably rate her as disagreeable
and tina is just what over-sincerity
tends to.

LIVERY now and then some unhappy
girl writes to say that a friendship
which meant all the world to her ha:
been shattered through the insincerity
of d trusted friend.

We learn to avoid hypocrites and to
keep our trust and confidence, very rare

sincerity of a friend so strictly is a
course which only a schoolgirl would be
guilty of.
There are few of us perfectly sincere,
although many of us try to be loyal to
those with whom we associate. But we
are all open to criticism, n not many
of us are there who do not utter a word

The superstitions which cluster
around flowers are as many as there
