Laurel Leaf Embroideries.

Every season the Paris embroider-
ers adopt one particular leaf for their
designs, and according to the way
the foliage is reproduced the leaf is
enlarged or reduced far beyond its
natural dimensions.
There was once vogue for poppy
foliage and flowers, followed later
on by another for tulips. The art
nouveau craze brought irises and or
chids into fashion. There was a
period also when ivy and woodbine
were mixed.
This year, when so many OF the
gowns are First Empire, our artists
have drawn chiefly laurel leaves in
termingled at times with various
Greek designs and the traditional key
pattern. A lovely scarf, especially
made for an American blonde, was
in pale green net incrusted with long
satin laurel leaves of much darker
shade delicately outlined with black.

a passenger escaping, and not one
being able to keep anything of val
ue.
When all the berths were emptied
the bandit drove his victims into the
private car, where all, including SUI
perintendent Hawks, were told to
place their property in pile on the
floor. Still covering the crowd with
his gun, the bandit swept the plum
der into sack and backed out of the
car. AS he departed he shot cut the
rear lights of the train, firing four
times.
Hastily organized posses pursued
the robber in the 'ope of intercept
ing him before he crossed the des-
ert to the mountains, toward which
he was headed. The passengers, who
were left destitute for the time be-
ing were cared for by the railroad
company.
Two hundred and seventeen dol
lars in cash a diamond ring and sew
eral other trinkets were all that re-
warded the robber. The railroad re-
funded to the passengers all the
money taken from them and offered
$4,000 reward for the capture of the
robber.

once met a young man who told
me that he was studying music. He
said that his teacher had trained
him to hear defects in the voices Of
singers. And he added, Nov I am
able to detect defects in the finest
singers" OF this he was very
proud!
This, believe, Is the primary
point with reference to the whole
subject of the sanity and clearness
of ones mental operations: we can
have the fine things If life, or we
can have the opposite-just as we
choose. The type of person who is
habitually seeing faults in others,
who is constantly feeling pain, who is
always imagining sights, loses the
sense of balance and proportion.
Our friends are people who see the
good in us and who believe in that
good. That is not to say that they
do not SEQ the other side. They
probably see it, and they ought to:
but, by holding to mind the good in
fully in ourselves and to hold our
selves to this vision Of the ideal.
L know of invalids who in spite
of pain determine to see the beauty
of life. know men and women who
have been tremendously wronged,
but who have deliberately forgotten
themselves, and just gone straight
on, seeking the beauty and the truth
in life.
The first point, then, is this-the
atmosphere which makes for sane,
simple, straightforward thinking is
predominantly one that can be chosen
by each individual for himself.
1t is not playing false part DELHI
erately to choose for ones self the
truest thing and to hold to it con-
stantly even when the thing that is
less true presses at the moment and
seems to dominate. That is, the atti-
tude of health in mind and body is
not false thing. 1t is the essentially
true thing, because, unless we were
predominantly healthy both in mind
and in body, we could not live; if
the sum total of our lives were mainly
defective, we would be dead or in
sane. So it is absolutely fair, dur
ing the up-stroke of life, to formu-
late that attitude and carriage of the
body which one will use when the
down-stroke comes. And every per-
son, crippled or not crippled, who
has an up-stroke in life has downs
stroke. Worlds Work.
