Being Satisfied With Ones Self
BY RUTH CAMERON.

How often one hears the above or some
similar remark made as a criticism, and
vet, when you come to think of 1t. how
few of us there are who are not pretty
we'll satisfied with ourselves.
You think that's an exaggerated state
ment? You know a great many people
who are always bewailing their defects
and who seem very far from satisfied
with themselves? True, my friend, but be-
lieve me, if you could see into the secret
chamber at the bottom of their hearts you
would probably find that after all they
think themselves pretty superior people.
Perhaps they may not have even admitted
to themselves that they hold such an
opinion. Most of us seldom visit that Sc
cret chamber in the bottom of our heart
where absolute truth lives, and where We
come face to face with our real serves.
And so we often fool ourselves in this as
well as in other things. But underneath

often justifies her sense of her own su-

OF course we should not confuse the
foolish dissatisfaction with our lot which
is so common with that divine discomfort

OF THE SEASON

Bound buttOnholes are appearing even
on the children's Bingham dresses.
At the recent horse show in New York
a great many slashed skirts were seen.
There is a tendency to the use of many
dull reds and blues in millinery for
spring.
Serge in black or blue. bound in silk
braid, is as much in favor as ever for
tailored suits.
Favor seems to have settled upon
rather small and medium shapes in
black hats for day wear.
Some smart black MORE dresses have
the coat fastened with single lace but
ton of jet or amber.
The theory that woman looks her
best in velvet and fur is having ample
confirmation this winter.
The new sporting skirt with braces and
tiny straps across the back is an English
innovation.
Luxurious toilets for afternoon wear
are of white crepe de chine, velvet bro
caded and edged with fur.
