Topics of Interest to Every Woman
EDITED BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI
Word of Praise When Deserved
Encourages One to Try Again

the word or two there is nothing but
rebuke, even men and women lose
heart.
You know, there are some strangely
misguided folk who believe 1t fatal to
proclaim their satisfaction with any
service extended. They think It will
mean a dropping away from the stand
ard. and that II worker once under
stands he is doing well he will gradually
lessen his tension of effort and soon fall
by the wayside-a victim Of too much
praise. And instead of approval when
approval is earned, they point out every
shortcoming, emphasize mistakes and
never by any possibility, recognize good
work.
Yet We know how infinitely easier
1t is to go on when at the end OF day
of real effort there has been something
to show that II was not. in vain.
Gives Us Faith in Ourselves.
Our days sometimes move slowly
enough. and We grow weary OF work
that seems to reach nowhere In par
ticuIar, but we never forget the red
letter days that beautifully stand out
in memory because some one found
reason to say ''Bravo!' and to make us
believe that we were not SO inconse-
quential after all.
alone who longs for a bit of praise.
The great artistic who has sung her way
straight into the hearts Of an admiring
and loving public never grows surfeited
with the gracious evidences of approval
that reach her from one end Of the world
to the other. Professional folk. great
surgeons, literati. artists-everybody
glows at the sound of applause.
- Praise Gives Color to Work.
But in the selfish. and perhaps child
ish, desire for commendation. to let one
know that IL there is criticism and dis
approval there is also praise. It is easy
to remain in the attitude OF looking.
never offering so much as a word to give
color to the daily task of some one else.
Yet that some one else is not above a
weakness for praise. and the first sign
that things are running well.
A sign OF bigness? Not at all: Just a
hint of the weakly human that makes
us more or less akin.

Currant or other tart jelly may be used

Deyonshire Cream.
1t is not a difficult matter to make this
deiicacy. which is always appreciated by
young and old. The quantity OF milk
ne eded may seem excessive; for a pound
of the cream one and one-half gallons of
good milk is required, but after all. the
ordinary family would be satisfied with
much less.
To make this cream strain new milk
into large shallow pan until 1t Is four
or fve inches deep. Leave in a cool
place for twelve hours in the winter Do
not disturb It In any way. Next careful
lv carry the pan to the stove and place
over a pot Of hot water. The heating
should take at least one-half hour and
the temperature should rise to 1sO de-
Erees to develop the proper flavor. 1t is
done when the cream forms a ring around
the pan and is wrinkled on the top. Let

Lesson in Scientific
Complexion Renewing
From the Family Physician. }

Every one has a beautiful skin under
meath the one exposed to view. Bear
that in mind and II will be easier to
understand the correct principle in
acquiring lovely complexion Nature
IS constantly shedding the top skin in
fiaky particles like dandruff, only
much smaller in size. In abnormal
conditions, or in advancing age. these
particles are not shed as rapidly as
in robust youth. The longer they re-
main the more soiled or faded they
become-thats the immediate cause of
bad complexion"
1t has been discovered that ordinary
mercolized wax. to be had at any drug
store, will absorb these worn -out par
ticles. The absorption. while hasten
Ing natures work. goes on gradually
enough to cause no Inconvenience. In
a week or two the transformation is
complete. The fresh. healthy -hued
youthful underskin is then wholly in
evidence. You who are not satisfied
with your compilations should get an
ounce of mercoliZed wax and try this
treatment. Use the wax nightly. like
cold cream. washing II of mornings.

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

II I were an employer OF many men
and women, or of the few, there In one
tsing / would try to remember-that II
really pays once In a long. long while
to give a word of commendation to a
worker who puts his heart in his task
and registers faithfully and well.
Because one may try desperately hard
may do his best year after year, yet
hear no comment except when thing &c

Pathetic Story.
A long while ago in a large mer-
camille house it happened that q rather
serious blunder was made by an en-
ploye OF long standing, and the head
of the department in no gentle tones
and in the presence of others rebuked
him for carelessness, lack of judgment.
and balance. Ordinarily, his work went
along with rare occasion for comment,
but that day a cog slipped somewhere
and something happened.
l chanced to be one of the unwilling
listeners, and when the affair had quieted
down and the managers wrath was a
bit abated. the man questioningly SAID
he assumed that his work was not over
satisfactory at best, since in all the years
of his service the only estimate OF MS
work had been words Of disapproval
never forgot the reply:
you would have known 1t, soon
enough. If you hadn't been satisfactory.
And with that the man had to be con-
tent.
We Never Quite Grow Up.
And perhaps 1t should be sufficient for
men and women, who are supposed to
have outgrown childish longingss and
childish needs. But there are ways In
which we never quite grow up. The wee
boy and girl always look for bit OF
applause when they strike out In a new
effort, and in the announcement there
is an incentive TO try again and to DO
better. And Just when and where do
thev leave off in the desire for we'll
earned commendation? In later years II
Is tempered, and a word or two goes
a long way. but when it happens that In

VARIETY OF CUT IN
NEW AUTUMN COATS

Beside the betting in at the back Of

will be cut as very smart eton in an
even line or one that Just dips in front.
Some other tall coats have little slashed

DESK SETS MAKE
PRETTY SOUVENIRS
Nine Pieces Compose the Artistic
Brass Sets.

Nearly every one who travels likes to
pick up some souvenir OF the city or
town visited. Many spoons OF all sizes
as we'll as belt buckles, paper weights.
and ash trays. together with their other
little things. such as pictures of historic
and interesting places. are found in all
cities
1t remains. however. for an exclusive
department store in an Eastern city to
get up a handsome brass desk set, ev-
cry piece Of which has an etching OF a
person or place famous in the history
OF this town near the banks of the Della
ware.
Nine pieces compose the set. and either
a single or double inkwell may be
chosen. Each piece. too. can be bought
separately and would make by itself a
pretty souvenir The price OF the en-
tire brass set Is IS. 1t sounds like quite
lot. but 1t is not, when the beauty OF
the pieces are considered.
Works of Art.
The etchings are works Of art and the
finish is in old brass, which is so much
used for desk fixings in so many of the
artistic and handsome libraries of today.
The man or woman who can afford
such a souvenir Of pleasant time
spent in a historic town should be glad
to have an opportunity to add this hand
some brass desk set to their collection
of souvenirs.
Some people make a point OF gather
Ing only certain pieces while away. such
as spoons, pitchers. desk fxings, or
other things which particularly attract
their attention.
One woman who made a collection Of
pitchers numbered several hundred Of
souvenirs in this line alone; she had
them from all places, and from cities
on the shores Of the Atlantic as well
as those on the banks of the Pacific.
