For years we thought it was the
correct artistic thing to have the hat
match the gown. NV it is not con-
sidered fashionable, even if it is ar
tistic 1t is not amiss to have sug-
gestion of the gown ia the hat. Some
people do this, but it is not necessary.
The best dressed women wear suits,
we win say, of black AMI white check
snd a hat of burnt straw trimmed
with chantecler red. Nor only is the
contrast violent, but we like it.

alone. No matter what the emergen

disturb him in these two hours OF
meditation. The rest OF the morning
until o'clock was given to his work
At 2 o'clock he dined, always with
invited guests, usually those inter-

own. Rants effort was to rest and
amuse his mind by contact with as
many diverse intellects and characters
as possible. At night when ready to
retire he remained for half an hour
perfectly quiet alone and without a
bock-as possible. he said, without a
thought-in order to calm his brain
for sleep.

You Never Gan Cell.

You never can tell when you send word,
Like an arrow shot from bow
By an archer blind, be it cruel or kind
Just where it will chance to 90.
1t may pierce the breast of your dearest
friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm;
To strangers heart, in life's great mart,
1t may carry it's pain or it's calm
You never can tell when you do an act,
just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing seed,
Though its harvest you may not see,
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know, yet the tree
shall grow,
And shelter the brows that toll
You never can tell what your thoughts will
do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe:
Each thing must create it's kind,
And they speed DER the track to bring you
back
Whatever went out from your mind
