Little Mistakes.

we will go back to the days before
you worked for your living" says Anna
Steese Richardson in the Woman's Home
Companion for March. when you were
a hddie with a perfectly normal fear of
pain. You ran a silver deep into your
finger. You gouged at it with needle,
but drew only a little blood for your
pains SO YOU made a secret trip to the
medicine-clOset, rubbed salve over the
spot and trusted biindly that the silver
would come out somehow and the wound
would heal. OF course, if you had gone
at once to mother and had her take
out the splinter. there would have been
no need for salve or bandage.
But you said mother would hurt.
and so you endured the irritating little
ache until one day mother saw the
dirty bandage. removed it and found an
ugly infamed spot on your finger. II
was a sickening moment when the wound
was opened and the bit of wood drawn
out. but you had had your lesson. Never
again did you allow a splinter TO tester.
Our little mistakes in the business
world are like splinters in the finger
of childhood, and If we never let them
tester more than once, we are at leas:
faced toward success. We can't score
success until we have learned never 70
repeat a mistake, never to score failure
on one line a second time
And what inexcusably foolish little
splinters hold US back! I dropped IN

The Unlifted Rrim.

From the Boston Herald.
AS a departure from the hat that seems
to have aimed at an eclipse of the hair

brow in a protecting manner. Rather
trying is this STYLE requiring features
that can be overshadowed by the front
brim
Some new shapes are turned I'D at the
side, and 1t must be confessed that this
line is generally becoming. The question
for you TO decide is which side is the
better; and the arrangement of the hair
and your prohle are the points TO claim
your attention.
The end is not yet A brim may be
turned straight up at the front with Ma
poleonic severity. Not every woman can
wear this shape. but to the fortunate one
there is great joy in store. With a
military suit. this is the best model for
an all-conquering success.
The main point is 10 twist and turn the
brin until the proper line for you be al

the case or window and considered in its
relationship to the wearer. When vo,,

Buttons for Spring.

From the Chicago Tribune
The friend Of the conservative woman
and the foe Of the reckless one, a button
needs sane consideration before You al
low it to make or mar your gown. To
the observant one the fact is apparent
that buttons have decreased in number
and increased in size on coats. Two large
tortoise-shell buttons are very effective
on the new jackets that fasten at the
waist line. Cloth buttons, braided and
Embroidered, are used at odd places on
afternoon gowns. but there is never an
abuse of the idea. You need not buy but
tons by the dozen for the spring costume.
On many white linen coat suits gilt
buttons will be effectively used to carry
out the military or the marine idea.
When vests are worn. the brilliant silk
O. linen can be touched up with line OF
five or seven buttons.
Crocheted buttons that are really works
of art viii be used sparingly but effec-
lively on linen frocks, and buttons of
plated braid can well carry out the deco
ration of cloth costumes.
The important fact for the home dress
maker is TO keep well in mind that a lit
lie time spent upon the fashioning of
four or six buttons will add immeasar-
ably to the frock II is worth any worn-

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

It seems TO me that the time is about
ripe for a radical change in banking
methods. The crop Of defaulters Is
steadily growing, and while nobody
dreams OF holding & thief blameless.
there is something 10 be said OF those
who throw temptations TITO the path of
weak mortals. A matter-of-fact public
is not convinced that bank president
who bestows his presence upon the enter
prise for an hour or two each day is do
ing much toward keeping the business
on a firm footing or that directors that
consider their duty ended after they have
permitted their names TO be printed and
attended the infrequent meetings are of
much use to a practical world. Il is no
secret that absences from directors meet

ings.

ing will be wiped out till punishments
are sure and swift and precautions are
such that only very clever brains can
elude them. ! presume that salary has
very little TO do with the matter, since
the great majority OF criminals could
not urge the plea OF poverty. The won
der OF the age was a poorly paid book
keeper. but he did not offer that as an
excuse for wrecking his life and bringing
shame and sorrow TO his family. The
one grain OF comfort in his position is
his bachelorhood. There Is no wife TO

Bleaching Oriental Rugs.

Hundreds Of thousands OF dollars worth
Of Oriental rugs are brought into what is
known to the profession as wash rugs"
says the Scientific American. This means
that brightly colored Oriental rugs are
sometimes washed with a solution OF
chloride OF lime. treatment which part
ly bleaches the colors and imparts a soft
appearance to the rug.
The chemical treatment is a process OF
washing which produces the effect Of age
and a particular sheen to the surface.
which is pointed out by many dealers as
proof of superior quality. The fact IS,
however, that the process OF washing In
variably weakens. and in some instances
destroys. the materials Of the rug.
The progressive effect Of the chemical
treatment OF the rug is this: The chloride
gas contained In the chloride Of lime ex-
tracts oxygen and moisture from the air
by which muriatic acid is formed. This
eats away the vitals of the fabric. Sooner
or later the wool and cotton in the rug
become brittle and thus weaken the warp
and deteriorate the wool. When this de-
terloration is complete the pile Of the
rug may be swept away by the ordinary
process of sweeping. and the warp. which
is the foundation OF the rug, becomes so
weak that holes appear here and there,
and soon the rug Is worthless.

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
The Problem of the Wife Whose Husband Is Too
Attentipe to Other Women.

The woman who thinks her husband
too attentive 10 other women should
study seriously and lmpartially first her
self to see whether 1t is simply jealousy
on her part and next whether It is mere
~ gallantry on his without any real wan
dering OF his affections from her. Many
a wife is jealous without cause, seeing
IN her husbands actions motives of which
he never dreams. And many a man is
attentive 10 other women simply from
an excess OF masculine gallantry and with
never a thought of being untrue to his
her ground before she settles down to
the conviction that she has on her hands
the problem Of how to hold fast a hus-
bands wandering affections
But when she realizes without shad-
ov of doubt that she has a husband who
finds more pleasure in other women's So
eiety than in that of his wifes she wants
to face the situation squarely and Crap
pie her problem. II she quietly goes aside
and weeps over It. doing nothing to mend
il; II she drifts. hoping It will mend it

herself practically a deserted wife; not

world. but deserted in spirit. in compan-

the gymnastic carnival at the opera

cost OF erecting such a gallery an(
track has not been secured but indi
cations are that the cost will be from
$500 to $1,000.

Present facilities do not make 1t pos
sible for boys to view the gymnasium
work. The average boys OF the stree
are greatly interested In all kinds OF
physical activity and there Is no bet,

1t. In fact, in many Instances there Il
no other place at all where such worl
is carried on in the city.
The lovers of basketball will be pro.
vided a place for watching that Snort
during the coming winters that will
be equal to any in the city, and under
the association management should
prove very popular in the future
These reasons have stirred the physi-
cal section committee to make siren
uous efforts at this time to secure

lected this means of doing what the5
could in raising money necessary for
the improvement. They therefore
make an appeal to the friends of the
association to patTonize the coming
