Attractive Skirt Model.

One Of the newest skirts fastens little
to the left Of the front and is open from
the hem for several inches, showing
plated chiffon trimmed with wide fancy
braid, Around the centre Of the skirt
across the front and sides is band of
the same braid at the back the skirt
hangs straight from belt to hem like a
panel, and is gathered at the belt to
give little fulness. This is universally
becoming skirt and looks well in almost
any material, although the original model
was made in satin. Another model that
stands every chance Of being popular

overskirt is to be noticed in all the new.
est satin gowns, and there are few if
any plain skirts among the latest models.
Tunlc effects are not so new as the
drapcd double skirt or the wide bands OF
the material so fashioned that no other
trimming is required. A wide, straight
fold the width Of the satin, drawn tight
across the front and at the sides, gives a
most singular effect, but carries out the
stll prevalent idea of a scant skirt, re-
lieved by fat box pleat or panel at the
back. Below the band there is either a
wide fold of the satin or a deep, scant
nounce.

to be undertaken too lightly and inadviscd-
ly, as an inch or two difference in the

entirely destroy the effect and make the
gown most unbecoming. 1t is indeed one
of the models that require to be made by a
clever dressmaker; its very simplicity isl
a trap for the unwary.
Almost without exception this season
the gowns require careful attention as to

amount of fulness at the waist and the
straight lines are difficult to combine, and
the fulness must be placed not too far

ness at the sides to make the skirt hang
straight, without any break or curve in

On Worry


Worry is disease. In fact, it is
ofttimes associated with physical
disorder Of some kind. The inclina-
ton to worry over tribes is universal.
Some people have acquired the wor-
ry habit. 1t sticks to them like an
adhesive plaster. Their first mental
efforts on rising each day is to seek
out some unpleasant subject to wor-
ry about. One can readily imagine
the disappointment that would ensue
should person of this character find
nothing to worry about. But, this
would be an unusual sensation, for
one can always find something to
worry about. Ifnot a misfortune of
yesterday, then one Of the day be-
fore if not of this year, then of last
year. If you are a victim Of the
worry habit, you are uselessly vast
ing valuable energies and rest assur-
that life will be of little value to
you or to anyone else.
Physical exercise is of invaluable
assistance in this respect. When
you find, for instance, that you can
not possibly avoid worrying then inn
mediately find some means of actively
using the muscles of your body.
Take long walk, or play some game
in open air that will keep you con-
tinuously and pleasantly occupied.
If this is difficult or impossible. take
some exercise in your room. Work
persistently and vigorously until the
blood is bounding through your ar
teries, until you feel the pulsation Of
new life stirring your entire physical
organism. Realize the tremendous
possibilities in life and stop wasting
your time with trifing grievances.
You must remember that worries
are never important, notwithstand-
ing the value they may seem to as
sumo in your life. Their only inn
portance is the power they, have for
harm, and il their power is evil,
then by all means they should be
recognized as evil, and every effort
should be made to stamp them out
of your life. You can rest assured
that the exercises taken as a worry
cure will accomplish the desired
purpose if they are given your entire
attention, and use all the muscles of
your body and vigorously arouse the
activity of your lungs and heart. -
From Physical Culture For October.
