Now, democracy is the spirit Of
youth. 1t has made its difficult
way over the thrones of monarchy
and monopoly, not by the caution
OF age, but by the valor of youth.
Perhaps it is not too much to say
that democracy has never won
battle by Fabian tactics, never
gained an inch by the exercise Of
that passive and balanced intellec-
tualism which is called the Judi
cial temperament"
AS a matter of history, democ-
racy is in its very nature a revolt
from the rule of cold and passion

humanity against the scribes and

fine embroidery fiouncing.
The needlework was about six inches
deep and finished with tiny buttonhoie
scallops. In fact. the entire design was

yelopment of the material was the most
simple imaginable, for the yoke was
formed of the tiniest tucks. from which
the material hung straight and full.
These tucks were placed close together
and extended from sleeve to sleeve. both
back and front. A narrow beading edged
with frill of val lace finished the neck
and also the little bishop sleeves. This
was all there was to the frock. but II
was the daintiest thing imaginable.

dresses could be made up In this way

goods would be sufficient and 81 should

There is very little fitting. because the
dress falls straight from the shoulders,
the waist being loosely defined by a

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Pale blue taffeta and deep, cream-tinted
shadow lace make up this effective even
ing frock, which is especially suitable Tor
a young girl 1t is made with a founda-
ton skirt faced nearly half way up with
the taffeta The tunic is composed OF
strips of the taffeta, lined then dropped
at the waist SO that they form an I'M
broken surface, until after being draped
over the skirt each strip separates lit
tie from the other just as it is turned up
in under. The loops thus formed are
threaded with strand of pink rosebuds.
Atop this is a lace corsage with a deep
gathered peplum reaching well below the
hips, caught at the waist with more of
the rosebuds, with rosebuds again to fin
ish the little close shoulder sleeves. The
lace is slipped over a round waist Of plain
blue chiffon cloth and incloses cross
over vest Of silver tissue.
Summer evening gowns should be dis
tinctly different from those worn during
the winter months. Light silks, net and
generally cheaper materials may be
pressed into service with good results,
and even wash fabrics, provided they are
tastefully made up.
There is nothing more effective for the
usual half-formal affairs which are the
rule during the warm weather period
than the lingerie frock, which, although
it should be exquisitely fine and dainty,
need not be too expensive. Hand work
is very desirable and pays when it is at
all consistent with the size of ones
pocketbook to have 1t, but many OF the
machine-made embroideries are so beau
tiful that it is. after all. a matter Of COM
paratively little moment.
Sometimes, however, it is a satisfaction
to have a portion of the lace and en-
broidery real. particularly laces, although
there are limitations that are so cleverly
done that they are almost indistinguisha-
BILE from the ones after which they were
designed. And they are not, by any
means, far behind the real ones in matter
Of price.
Allover laces are being used to advan-
tage in these gowns, not only with the
white and cream-colored batistes. but
with fower-sprigged muslins. with which
they combine charmingly. The lace is
generally employed in a princesse founda-
ton, with the muslin draped or hung
over it as a straight tunic. In the same

JUSTIPYING ONES SELF
By Ruth Cameron.

A certain young woman who had been
given a chance to make good in very
big position, lost this chance recently.
And the reason, as expressed by her
employers, who. by the way, were quite
as disappointed as she, was simply that
she didn't know how to receive criticism.
Whenever her employers criticised her.
she always fought back. instead OF
being grateful to them for giving ume
and energy to try to make her sue
cessful business woman, she was angry
and resentful at every CRITICISM. IN
stead Of profiting by their suggestions
and corrections, she always tfleo 10 Justi-
fy herself.
Now to try to vindicate ones self when
one knows that a criticism Is undeniapiy
unjust, is right and reasonable. out al
ways to fight to justify ones SELF, no mat
ter what the criticism, is oecloeoiy the
opposite.
n,oves.and others-who always adopt
this latter course. Even when they know
in their hearts that they have made mis-
takes, they try to prove OTHERWISE TO
those who criticise them. :.
OF course It il not at all easy 10 Tell
when a criticism is just. To be able to
weigh a criticism of ones self calmly and
disnassionately, and see where 1t is right
and where 1t is wrong. is a fine art. Even
a most upright judge finds 1t difficult to
decide a case fairly when his own IN
forests are involved But one can at
least make some effort to do this.

you try to deceive him and incorporate
some of them in the building in spite of
him? Or will you listen to him calmly
and thoughtfully. and thank him for his
help?
According to which course you take. you
will prove yourself a big or little man.
For it is only the little people who
cannot endure criticism. Sir Walter Scott
in his journal mentions an anonymous
letter sent to him from Italy, full of acrd
and acute criticism on his Life of Bona
parte," and instead Of resenttng 1t and
justifying himself. he remarks with con-
summate restraint and wisdom. Its tone
Is decidedly hostile. But that shall not
prevent me from making use OF all it's
criticisms where just If Scott had been
a lesser man he would have sconed at
the criticism, and concluded that the
anonymous writer was merely some dis
agreeable ignoramus.
Again, Epictetus, after hearing a scath-
ing criticism of himself, comments gently,
HE little knew my other shortcomings or
he would not have mentioned these
