NEATLY-TIED SHOES.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Nothing is more untidy or more trou-
blesome than shoe laces that slip and be-
come united. This can so easily be pre-
vented that It is the more inexcusable.
II a LAGER has one loop pulled through
the bow that IS tied in the usual way
and is then given a firm pull it will rare

II ordinary mohair lacers or even silk
ones are slightly waxed, they stay tied
much longer. Should the metal end come
off either a shoe or corset lacer, il can
be pulled through the hole quite easily by
waxing ends TO a point.
Ribbon lacers should De tied IN a fiat

SNAPSHOTS OF THOUGHT.
By I'm. SULLIVAN.

Right thinking is a religious IN
junction. but right acting is a d.
vine mandate.
As many plants flourish better
IN the shade than in the sunshine.
so great characters are best devel-
oped in the shadows OF afiiiction.
Re not 80 profuse Of promise as
lavish Of accomplishment.
Let not the sneers of the ignorant
deter you from seeking 10 merit
the appreciation Of the wise.
Lose no sleep brooding over how
you may avenge a wrong.
You can never bridge the chasm
between yourself and your ideals
by allowing your talents to lie
dormant
The pleasures OF prosperity are
often less joyous than are the COM
forts and hopes OF adversely.
Justice IS as essential to a peo-
pies happiness as to their liber-
ties.
II you covet sympathy IN your
adversely. be not arrogant in your
prosperity.
If chance were a necessary ele-
nlent in nature, Providence would
have made more use Of 1t.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

I am afraid that we are allowing the
fine points of etiquette to slip away from
our daily life. We are not careful about
keeping appointments and redeemlng
promises. about acknowledging favors and
gifts and answering letters. II Is down
right impertinent 10 accept an invitation
to dinner or luncheon and fail to put In
an appearance or send an excuse. The
hostess has spent time, money. and
thought in preparation. and her disap-
pointment is keen. When annoyance at
thoughtlessness Is added, she is quite JUS
tilted in cutting out that particular guest
from her visiting list
4 promise should be a sacred thing, and
only made after due reflection. Then
nothing short of calamity should stand
in the way Of its fulhnment- If social
ostracism was the fate OF promise-break-
ers there would be fewer offenders and
less discomfort In the world Harsh rem
edies are sometimes needed 10 wakeE us
20 a sense Of our responsibilities, and
know Of nothing more humlliating TO a
woman than being left out in the reckon
ing Of desirable persons.
Few OF us show a sufficient apprecia-
ton OF favors When we have been en-
tertained through the generosity of
woman or man. the least we can do in
return IS 90 express our pleasure-the
warmer the terms the better. I know
from experience that a few written words
or a telephone message the day after an
entertainment compensajes one for deal
,e "a q
ter of acceptance repays one twice over
for the trouble spent in choosing a gift.
It Is always hard 10 console grief, but It
IS a duty we owe everybody with whom
we associate. Duty is not a pleasant
word, but it plays a large part in life.
and we should not try 20 eyade It. IN A
broad sense. we are n fairly decent nation
IN the matter OF politeness. but we are
apt 70 overlook small points. We are not
courteous to the aged. we are not respect
ful 20 our elders. We are not very strong
on table manners. since tOothpicks are
still displayed in conspicuous places. We
DO not respect the rights Of others or
the opinions OF those better informed than
ourselves.
we all want 10 talk and are so busy think
ing OF the things we want to talk about
as 90 make us oblivious OF the speech OF
others. Il would almost seem. from the
list Of shortcomings. that we can have
little or no politeness 10 fall back upon.
yet we manage 20 pass muster in these
Gays. OF course. the truly delightful peo-
pie are these who are polite in small mat
ters. for the little things OF life are those
which bring US pleasure or pain. Among
the guests at recent house party was a
man OF middle age who was established
as a favorite in half an hour after his ar
rival. He was an army officer who had
not forgotten his training. and his man.
ners were a delight 10 men and women.
He excelled In small points which other
men overlooked, and there was his charm.

chance against such rival for pOpu-
larity. BETTY BRADEEN.
