NEATNESS A GOOD SIGN.

There is no more pronounced mark of a
lady than scrupulous neatness. / don't
mean cleanliness by this statement for
it is taken for granted that every girl is
clean, but | mean an added touch which
comes from innate refinement
1t is an astonishing fact that neatness
in details OF dressing is rarity. There
may not be holes or tears, but a min
! taking the place of stitch will destroy
every atom of smartness and make the
wearer appear slovenlX.
Persons who are obliged to count the
cost OF Giving closely know that perfect
cleanliness, in the extereme sense of the
word; is expensive luxury. Either
money or time must be consumed in
achieving 1t. and the pursuit is endless.
No sooner is some article of wearing ap-
parei in condition than another requires
attention, or else the first needs renovat-
ing at the end of the day. When laundry
bills are to be considered it is only by
washing many little pieces that a girl
can keep her accessories in condition,
and, as many can tell, it cannot be
counted diversion to stop to wash a neck
, tie when one is tired and wants sleep.
Even so, Scrupuously fresh tie is to
be regarded as important, not as trivial.
Let girl who goes down town observe
those among whom she is associated and
see how infinitely better the one looks
whose neckwear is immaculate, which is
something more than clean. The same is
true of her hands. 1t is not enough that
, they shall be merely mot dirty" Should
she be willing to take the trouble she can
keep them white, even though working
with carbons or typewriters. 1t takes
time, of course. and work. but 1t can be
done. and that she instinctively makes the
effort to achieve this shows a girl to have
the highest kind of refinement.
sloppy is not a pretty word, but il
precisely describes a type of girl often
seen in business houses and elsewhere
Everything She wears is clean, but it is
put on in any old fashion. and more often
than not is crumpled. Such a girl is not
immaculate as to garments. and she
lacks both distinction and an air of good
breeding.
The idea some seem to have that a bit
OF lace or ribbon tackled on will cover soil
or creases is a mistake. characterization
only adds to the undesirable effect and
may even create an impression of tawdri-
ness. The smartest and best bred girls
wear immaculate severely made garments
when working, leaving fripperies for other
occasions

How the Baby Bird Flew.

j. NJ. Barrie has a little fable in
one of his works about baby lark
asking its mother to teach it to fly
The mother thought hard about how
she herself had learned to fly long
ago last year, but all she could recall
was that you suddenly do it,
Wait till the sun comes out after
the rain" she said, half remember
ing. The rain came and glued the
birds wings together
II shall never be able to fly nor to
sing it walled. Then of a sudden it
had to blink its eyes for a glorious
light had spread over the world. The
baby birds breast swelled. it did not
know why. and it fluttered from the
ground, it did not know how. The
sun has come out after the rain" it
trilled. Thank YOU, sun, thank you"
and it toated up crying: Thank you. >

NEVER A MAN TO BE ENvIED.
Philadelphia Writer'S Idea of Status
to Be Accorded Bachelor in
Society.

The bachelor is punished already,
not only in losing the joys of a home,
but being an object of contumely. So
long as bachelors are willing to put up
with all the losses they sustain in
celibacy far be it from the majesty of
the law to impose further penalties.
1t was Cicero or a man of his day who
remarked that it was onerous for
man to get along with a wife, but inn
possible to get along without one. The
bachelor is not a man-only a more
or less imitation of sometimes
very poor one He thinks he has a
good time in escaping all the major
responsibilities of life, but he is de-
ceiying no one but himself AS an
example and warning he has his
is apt to find that he is eating only
apples of Sodom The man who de-
liberately remains bachelor is al
ready punished enough. Let him alone
in his misery until some nice girl
comes along and carries him off And
we may remark that no man is bach
elor of his own initiative-no matter
how much he may think So He is
simply human derelict whom the
women have examined and passed by
The bachelors are the disjecta mem
bra of society whom no woman will
have. That is awful and it is enough
