Have the Courage.

Have the Courage.
One of the hardest things in this
world to do, is to hold the right in
the face of adverse criticism. 1t is
not easy to wear the old clothes
until we have the money to pay for
others, or TO sturdily wear patches
rather than visit the pawn shop.
Yet, if ones associates are people
whose opinion is worth having,
they will think all the more of us
for our independent honesty.
Have the courage to live within
your income, be it large or small,
and even when the unavoidable
emergency arrives, make sure that
it is unavoidable before you con-
tract a debt or ask a favor. Debt
is species of slavery; the creditor
owns the debtor to the extent of
the debt, and his claim grows every
dav. If the debt must be incurred
let it barely cover your necessities,
and paw it back as soon as possible
even at self-denial on your part.
Keep down expenses to t be very
least, if you have not ready money.
Have the courage to live on two
meals a day, if you cannot pay for
three and if there seems no prom
Use of betterment in your circum.
stances, one meal a day will save
your self-respect. Besides, hygen-
lists tell us an occasional fast is a
good thing
There is one thing which dis
heartens the would-be honest ones.
If you frankly acknowledge that
you are poor, yet keep out of debt
and wear and eat solely what you
can pay for, keeping your own
counsel as to shortages, sacrifices
and self-deniaIs, your neighborS
will at once determine that you are
secretly boarding money; that you
have a big bank account and are
living on easy street" while being
openly close" as a blind. You
may even get the name of being a
millionaire and work people will

How Wide is Your New Skirt?


Nowadays the question of SUI
preme interest in the world of dress
is the width of the skirt. When
your friend appears in a new gown,
your immediate speculation is: How
much is it around the bottom? If
you are friendly enough to indulge
in comment, the minute you have
breathed that it is sweetly pretty,
you follow up with the the inquiry:
How wide is your skirt" And
then when the momentous secret is
disclosed, you generously exclaim
that you never would think it; it
looks Just as comfortable as any one
would wish For, of course, the
triumph of dressmaking at this
moment is to have your skirt look
as narrow as possible, and yet not
look absurd or uncomfortable. We
do want to be fashionable, but we
do not want to sacrifice our reputa-
tons for good sense
In my opinion, from two to two
and a quarter or two and a half
yards is d reasonable width for a
skirt that has pretentions to mar
rOWness, and three yards is not too
full for those women who do not
care about adopting the narrow
skirts. Many of the newest skirts
measure as little as two yards and
they are quite sensible and good
looking
One sees many varitieS of the
narrow circular skirt. Some of
them sometimes 90 by the name of
semicircular, which sounds rather
odd at first. The idea is that they
are not cut in one piece the way
the strictly circular skirt is, One
of them is in two pieces scanned
down either side, and with the clos
ing made necessarily at one side or
at both. Many women find they
can wear this style much better if
a seam is introduced down the
center back. In that case the skirt
is apt be scanned in the center
front also, so that you have four
pieces. And you have an excellent
opportunity for using striped mate
rails so that the stripes meet in
VS. at the seams. Mrs. w. Harri-
son Black in October Designer

An Impression.

Two city pastors exchanged pull
pits. One was handsome young
minister, the other an elderly one.
The Or9aniSt at the elderly minis
ter'S church was an ambitious
young lady who wished to make a
good impression on the young visit
ing pastor
Now the sexton who blew the
organ for the young lady was in
the habit of stopping when ne
thought the voluntary had been
long enough. To avoid such an
awkward ending on this occasion,
she wrote him a little note and
handed it to him. Surprising it an
announcement for the pulpit, the
sexton in spite of the young lady's
frantic gestures, handed it to the
young pastor,
That is what he read. Will you
kindly keep blowing away this
morning until | give you the signal
to quit?" Elk.

HOW TO TRANSFER PATTERNS
Simple Method Of lmprintIns En-
broidery Designs ~ Linen oy tie
Use Of Carbon Paper.

Several correspondents have asked
me to explain the method OF transfer
ring the patterns given on this page
20 linen OF other material, for their
own use In embroidering. The method
is a simple one OF carbon paper trans
ference.
Put you linen down Fat on a hard
table: over II place a sheet OF car
bon paper large enough to cover the
design; over this the design itself
Draw all over the design with hard
pencil. or any sharp-pointed object
which will not cut the paper, and your
design will be transferred TO the linen.
When the whole pattern is not given,
measure and repeat. until the design
Is completed.
II you wish, you can dispense with
the carbon paper. Fasten your design
by pins or thumptacks firmly to the
frame OF a window, place your linen
over IL and draw as before A lighted
lampshade will do In the evening.
However, you must be very careful;
and the method will not work at all

sign to shine through.-Exchange.

REPAIRING THE BIRD WING

or Court Plaster.

Those OF us who have hats trimmed
with the bird wing consisting OF in
Vulnerable little feathers. something
like fishes scales, know how these
drop off and what an unpleasant bald
appearance they give to our best hat
trimmings. One woman has solved
the problem by pasting them on as
they come off. They we're black In her
case, and. so that the paste she used
should not show. she pasted them on
the back with library paste on which
she dropped black ink and let 1t soak
in. This same plan can be followed
with any color Ink to match the feath-
er, even the iridescent feathers (as
these often are) being usually easy
to match.
Another plan Is to use court plas-
ter. although this is possible only with
black and white feathers. The plas-
ter must be cut In little strips and
fastened in back to the cloth founda-
ton, for feathers Of this sort are al
ways what is called made" that is,
stitched on 20 a backing of fabric in
