OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

A young girl who had been missing
from home for a while returned the other
day with a story which was pitifui even
when viewed in the cold light Of eensure.
She had tangled her life by a hasty mar
riage, and with an alien who has appar-
emily deserted her-a chance acquaintance
at that. There was a welcome for her at
home but there is the publicity TO face
and the disgrace of being linked with
worthless man.
why do girls do such foolish things?
They have so many advantages IN these
days and SO iarge a share of good looks
that one would think that ordinary per-
sonal pride would keep them from such a
fate. ] am afraid that the mothers are
being blamed. whether they deserve II or
not. One thing is certain. no girl in her
teens should be allowed to roam the
streets at win and make chance acquaint-
anees. Mothers should know something
of their habits and their companions and
use the maternal right TO direct both.

one kind OF woman there is who IS
joy in the home, in business, wherever
there is anything to which she lays her
hands. 1t is a woman who is thorough.
ThorOCghness is such rare quality, now
adays, that when one finds person who
is thorough. one feels this person ought
10 be put in a glass case and exhibited
as wondrousiy precious and almost ex-
tinct. The objection to this course of
procedure is that so much work and so
many places are waiting for the thor
ough person that he can't be wasted in
being exhibited. The man or woman who
wants to be sure Of holding down job,
OF being IN demand, can cultivate few
surer qualifications than thoroUshness.
Many young people, particularly when
they first start in business, just about
half do thins- What is the result? The

Size Feature Of Partisan Hats.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
The predominating feature OF the lat
est millinery Is size. Many OF the new
hats might be designed for giantesses in
stead of the dapper little woman the
Partisan is, more often than not Every
thing is large about them, the trimming
being quite in proportion to the size Of
the shapes. which appear 10 grow witt
every passing week.
II trimmed scantily. such shnpes
would look outrageously big AS it is,
the Importance of the trimming saves
them from such an imputation. the re-
suit being rather to make the woman
who uses them look diminutive, which,
from an athletic point Of view. is doubt
less to be deplored.
The past months have not brought In
much in the way of new shapes. particu-
larly inasmuch as hats are concerned.
Milliners seem to have come to the con-
clusion that a certain amount Of pub
licity Of form is better suited TO the big
hats they are making than could be
any caprice of shape. good many
may be described as enlarged sailors.
Others are more or less of the cloche
shape. Instead Of turning the brim up,
as was pretty general earlier in the sea-
son. a downward tendency is gaining
ground Nevertheless. some Of the large
hats. though not quite the largest. have
the brim doubled back from the left
front almost over the crown which Is
low. Crowns continue TO differ very
much in height, but when high they are

of the trimming or this is so arranged
as TO conceal them to a great extent.

Healthful Hints.

From the Philadelphia Star.
Daily messages and wringing Of the
hands increase their circulation and re-
juvenates them. The hands. as well as
the rest of the body, need exercise If they
are to retain their youthful appearance.
Always wear shoes that are large
enough if you wish to have pretty feet,
and the leather should be soft and pill
able The foot. however. that slips about
in a large shoe is as much likely to get
dishguTed as the foot that is pinched.
A good cure for slight headaches is to
take a facial bath of cold water into
which a few drops of sweet spirits of
ammonia have been dropped This has
