ECONOMIC VALUE
OF TAILORED SUIT
Self-colored Stripe Better
Than Plain Style.

II a woman wants an inexpensive tai
lored suit that will wear well, her best
choice as to fabrics is some Of the hard
finished mems suitings. And those with
little self-colored stripe or pattern of
some kind are better than the plain
styles. II a suit is made from self
patterned, crisp finished suiting, few can
tell, judging from the fabric alone,
whether the suit costs SIS or $50. Even
the inexpensive grades OF these suitings
have a high-class look.
Black and blue are perhaps best col
ors though the art OF dyeing is so good
nowadays that almost any color will
prove satisfactory, except, perhaps, some
of the peculiar shades of gray.
In the inexpensive suit, the semi-flt-
ting coat is best choice. 1t is not only
conservative, and good, season in and
out, but with inexpensive tailoring II Is
liable to fit better. When the tailoring
cannot be of the most skilled kind, 1t is
better to go in for simple effects.
Collar should Fit SnuEIy.
In buying an inexpensive suit, be care
full to note the fit OF the collar. 1t should
lie snugly at the back. 1t must. not stand
out even a trifle.
dl present llNllG piCdlCu'
but If there is any pleating on the
skirt, 1t is better to have II stitched
all the way to the bottom. In the less
expensive tailoring where pleats are
stitched part way. they are liable to get
out OF shape quickly.
Good guaranteed satin is the safest
choice for the coat lining. A soft mes
saline may wear, but there is less risk
with a good satin. And a new lining
means considerable expense to the one
who is counting cost closely.
II a woman wears her skirts out fast
er than her coats 1t is a stroke OF
economy to get two skirts with a suit.
Many stores will make for very little
extra cost two skirts for a suit. And
this is more economical than throwing
the coat away before 1t is worn out. And
by getting the extra skirt at the time
the suit is purchased you are sure Of Sc
curing the same material.

FAITH IN IMMORTALITY

to Disappointment and Failure

ual beings. and that innumerable others
exist in space-cities beautiful and un-
beautiful, on higher and lower planes
according to the spiritual workmanship
Of the inhabitants.
Toward Good and Beautiful.
I believe you and I to-day, and every
hour OF the day, are helping to build one
Of those cities: and just as we build, so
shall our structure be when we leave
this particular chemical formation in
which our spirits now dwell and pass on
to new realms. And when we reach
that new region we Shall find for neigh
bors those who have thought similar
thoughts, held similar ambitions, and
committed similar actions while on this
sphere. The scientific world has de-
cided that thought is energy" This
energy will select our place of habita-
ton in the life beyond and therefore It
behooves both you and me to direct our
energy to good and beautiful purposes II
we wish a desirable location in one of
the many "cities not built by hands, -"
but by thoughts.
There is something wonderfully slim
ulating to the human mind In the very
vaguest dream of such a city.
Religion of fhe Universe.
1t gives new impetus to worthy action,
new wings to hope, new comfort to sor-
row, new solace. to disappointment and
failure. 1t makes everything good seem
enduring and everything that is not good
trivial and OF small import. It makes
the hurried transit of time In this little
life seem of less Importance, and arouses
the heart from sad reveries over broken
earthly ties to a consciousness of reneed
friendships and affections IN worlds be-
yond.
For those who have always longed for
the beautiful and ideal, while compelled
to live in sordld and commonplace sur
roundings, it gives the exquisite hope Of
compensation for disappointment and re-
ward for patience.
All hall to the Cities Beyond!
May our eyes receive the inner vision
to behold them while we are yet In
the temporal body upon this plane.
And new name shall science hence
forth wear.
The great religion Of the universe.

EVERY HOME SHOULD
HAVE LYING ROOM
With Plenty of Space for
Life's Business.

In every home there should be at least
one living room-in the true sense of
the word. This would seem an unneces-
sary statement. But, unfortunately, there
are vast numbers of homes that possess
no such room. There may be a parIor,
which means a reception room; there
may be a sitting room, or even a library,
but none of these quite takes the place OF
the livable living room. The other rooms
have their uses and advantages, but
they should never be allowed to crowd
out the nursery for grown people-the
living room.
An English architect makes a plea for
the living room in these words: Let
us have in our houses room where there
shall be space to carry on the business
Of life freely and with pleasure, with
furniture made for use"
The walls of a living room should
be papered in restful tones, care being
taken to keep the room sufficiently light
for reading, sewing and writing AS a
rule, a plain or two-toned paper will be
the wiseSt choice. These do not irritate
or weary, as is sometimes the case where
a figured paper is hung in a room that is
constantly occupied.
Wall Should Serve rs BACKGROUND.
There should be plenty of pictures. pho
tographs, &C, and the walls should,
therefore, serve as a background for
them. In the successful living room there
are so many things to attract the eye
books, flowers, magazines. photographs,
&C, that the walls are not called upon
to supply interest; but rather are needed
to give an atmosphere of rest and cheer
to be a silent, irresistible influence
The furniture for the living room
should be chosen primarily for its use
fulness. A large center table, with
good reading lamp, and books and maga-
zines. will help more than almost any
thing else to give the feeling of nominees
and comfort so greatly to be priced
In choosing the chairs the individual
requirements should be remembered. So
that when the family is gathered together
there will be comfortable spot for each
member Of the circle. 1t often happens
that two persons love the same chair
There should be no rivalry to spoil the
unity.
Fireside seats with wings or ears"
morris and wicker chairs with padded
cushions, are favorites. They look what
they are-substantial and comfortable.

BUSINESS WOMEN NEED MORE
THAN CREATURE COMFORTS
She Owes 1t to Her Mental and Spiritual Self to Get
Out and Meet FoIks-TO Come in Contact with
Fresh Ideas and New Thoughts.

Please do not understand for a moment
that I advocate the gadabout, or the
woman who neglects the duties that are
rightfully hers, in order to enjoy a So
cial life. That is the other extreme. and
is as deplorable as the case in which a
woman allows herself to become a slave
to work, and deprives herself of the op-
portunity to break the bonds that bind
her to narrow, monotonous life.
We Need Friendships.
No woman can achieve her highest
possibilities who shuts friendships out of
her life. Companionship was intended
for the human race. We need it to
brush the cobwebs from the brain.
But how shall find it? cries the young
business woman in her letter.
First, through affiliation with some
church. and church work
1 have known young women who came
to the city strangers in a strange land.
knowing not more than a half dozen
people, who within a few months had
formed a little coterie of friends, who
kept them from treading the narrow
path from office to home and home TO
Office.
This was accomplished through an i'm
mediate connection with a church. Other
young folks were met there-both young
men and young women. With them
friendships were formed. and through
them outside acquaintances were made
until the newcomers were invited out
to little parties, both in connection with
the church and otherwise.
a young woman's invitations depend a
great deal upon herself. If she is jolly
and unselfsh, and strives for the highest
things that life holds, friends will gravi-
tate to her.
But she cannot obtain friendships by
sitting at home evening after evening"
refusing all invitations, and making no
effort to do her part in their formation.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-07
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI

A young woman has written me to
ask how she may form friendships with
worthy young men.
The trouble with me is that I do not
go around enough, and consequently
meet no one. When I come home from
work in the evening I stay there. My
home is such a comfortable one that
never get any further. Tell me what to
do to meet people," she asks.
This is not the first letter that has
come to me from young business women
who spend their day down town absorbed
in making a living, either for themselves
or others dependent on them; who, when
the day is done, go home and remain
there throughout the evening, yielding 10
the comfort of negligee and relaxation.
The business girl needs rest. She needs
relaxation, plenty of sleep. and whole
some food if she kIld keep her health.
But her need does not stop with her
creature comforts, for the physical being
is by no means the whole of her, and
the mental spiritual woman makes just
as strong claim for food upon which to
develop and stride forward.
The business girl who allows herself
to form the habit of staying at home
every evening in the week gives her mind
no chance of contact save with the home
circle, and result to her is that she mar
rows down to one little rut of thought,
a condition which is sure death to her
mental progress.
Result UnaItered by Love.
Love for home and the dear ones there
does not alter the result to the girl who
makes no effort TO get out and meet new
folks; to come in contact with fresh
ideas, thoughts that are different from
her own-to learn something of lives
spent in other fields of work than her
own.
And the worst of the matter is that
the more one yields to the temptation of
remaining in one little rut of living and
thinking. day in and day out, the harder
grows the habit to break
Nor is the temptation to drift along in
one narrow channel that alone of the
business woman, for the home woman
also yields many times to the inclination
to don a negligee and remain at home
when she would be spurred to higher |
thoughts and greater endeavor by going
out where she would come in contact
with newer currents of thought

BILE shampooing and facial massage at a

following are a few lines:
ITO me 1t seems so very queer
That when we little children here

4 NEW WAY TO
PREPARE POTATOES

Cut the potatoes to the shape of large,
elongated olives. and let each weigh
about three ounces. Gently cook them in
butter. in a saucepan, and take care to
turn them over.
When they are cooked, withdraw them,
and then slightly fatten them with a
fork without breaking them. Drain away
their butter; return them to the saucepan
with three ounces of fresh butter for
every two pounds of their weight, and
cook them with lid on until they have
entirely absorbed the butter.

Syllabus.

Beat a pint of cream to a stif froth,
divide into three parts and add to each
part the following mixture: One made
of two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar
and grated banana; place that in the bot
tom of a glass. The second mixture is
two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar
and two tablespoonfuls OF strawberry
juice: pour this over the first mixture
in the glass, and then add the third,
which is of the same quantity of powder
ed sugar and orange pulp and a bit of
grated rind. Place over all a piece of
ounce or current jelly. Serve with
sponge cake or angel food. This is excel
lent for parties.

L T.: From what you say. I. judge
your trouble is not eczema, but a rash
powder, and the only remedy is to en-
ploy a good massage cream to thor
oughly cleanse the skin of local i'm

ceptional value can be made at little
cost, by stirring two teaspoonfuls gly-
cerine in a half pint cold water, and
adding one ounce almozoin. Let stand
overnight, then apply to face, neck,
and arms and massage in thoroughly.
A few such treatments rid the skin of
