Value of KNOWLEDGE.

Mrs. Featherton had embroidered a
gown for herself Butterflies were the
design, and she had made them look
so natural that-so Mr. Featherton
said-one would think they we're ac-
tually alive. But Mrs. Featherton's
little son was more critical. He re-
garded the decorative insects long
and earnestly, opened his lips &c
speak, and then, with remarkable self
control for one so young, closed them
again without speaking.
"Well, frankie" said his mother at
last. tell me what you think OF my
butterflies"
"They are very nice, mother" re-
piled he seriously, but the next time
you embroider butterflies, would you
mind putting the antennae on the 9TH
er end?"

PRETTY RIBBONS FOR NECK
At No Time Have These Adornments
Been So Handsome and Worthy
of Praise as Now.

The latest development Of the sau-
toir, is the grosgrain or MORE ribbon
with plain or pilot edge and large
single ornament on the left side. One
of the prettiest OF these is a circular
motif of exquisite delicacy. Another
is a square Of finest filet lace mesh
wrought in platinum and diamonds,
placed diagonally on the ribbon and
held at the two opposite corners By
two diamonds. These are again at
tached to jeweled section that COW
ors the ends Of the ribbon. If a sim
pier chain for tho lorgnon is desired
there is the solitary pearl without
sny metal and strung as slide Oh a
silk cc:d. Both men and women are
adopting this inconspicuous but hand
some device.
Perhaps One OF the most pleasing
novelties OF the moment is ve:7e5
nee!; band with Slides Of seed pesSIs.
These come with; two or three slides
or with a Simple festcon They are
both radical departures from the: old,
fashioned themes, SIGH as the roset:e
and the Northumberland.

suddenly into the hun4ta anatomy by

There are two distinct species, one
eel-like IN appearance, blunt-headed
and smooth-bodied, the other armed
with sharp, bony spnat, two to three
inches in length. swa.low-talled, and
covered from snout to tail by small
barbs. 1t Is particularly attracted by
the human body, into which it dives
suddenly and with great force, pro-
ducing shock somewhat akin to a
powerful electric discharge.

,...ssTaKs That IS GENE
Too often Tire Is Mated Ge1si
ii inc Difficulties instead Of Per-
forming Allotted Task.

When a hard thing is to be done the
natural inclination of most of us is to
allow ourselves to think on the effort
necessary to do it. instead OF going
ahead and doing it.
And here we make one Of the most
common mistakes in our lives.
When one is confronted by severe
task Of duty which seems almost be-
yond ones powers, it is fatal to pause
to consider it's difficulties.
Never mind how hard it may seem,
nothing can be tolerated lin the mind
except the consideration Of ways of
accomplishing it.
The secret of accomplishment lies
in the answer of the urchin who was
asked if ne thought he would get the
woodchuck for which he was ener-
getically digging: Get him? Why,
man, I've got to get him; the minis.

to train the mind to take the attitude
of determination in TIE beginning; 70

dwelling upon difficulties, and at once
to bring into action the self that is
determined to succeed.
Most persons have had the expert.
ence Of looking back over an accom-
plished task with amused surprise at
the exaggerated idea they entertained
of it beforehand. Do the thing first
and consider SIS difficulty afterward.

Archie Roosevelt, shows the different
natures of the two boys. When a boy
at the Force school asked Archie what
his father did" Archie promptly an
swered "My fathers IT" A little girl
asked Charlie what his name was, to
which question he replied Taft" The
next was whats your father do?" to
which the youngest member Of the
Taft family replied: ooh, he has some
sort of a government job down here"
Probably the two liveliest persons at
the White House dance Friday night
OF the holiday week was the president
and his youngest child, Charles, who
was a privileged character and allowed
to mingle with the guests, though they
were all of a set known as the young
er set, but not quite as young as Mas
ter Charles own set. The president
never loses a chance to dance, because
he loves it, and because, some whis-
per, the exercise helps to keep his
weight down.
Christmas week was full of dances,
for that Is the accepted way of enter
tanning the young people home from
college and school for the Christmas
holidays, and every hostess seems to
have taken advantage Of the dance as
a means of giving a good time to
everybody, the older folks as well as
the younger.

Presidents Son Kept Busy Dur
ing Holiday Week.
Accepted So Many Invitations to At
tend Dances, Teas, ETC., During
Holidays That He Didn't Find
Time for Anything Else.

Observation-Disclosures Charlie Taft,
the younger son Of the president, was
home for the holidays, and was quite
the busiest young person, socially, in
Washington. Charles has always fig
ured as an out-of-doors boy, one who
loves to sail a boat or take a swim,
play a game of baseball or kick a foot
ball, and when his father was secre-
tary Of war and Charlie was quite a
little chap, he ven delighted to shovel
off the snow in front Of the Taft home.
In fact, Charles was rather contemptu-
Gus of affairs social, but his point Of
view has changed with this homecom-
ing.
Many stories of Charles exploits in
the quite young set have already been
told, but his banner day, the day he
beat all records, was on Thursday OF
Christmas week. Master Charles start
ed out with a luncheon at the home Of
Mrs. Benjamin Macou for her young
sons, likewise home from school; he
Squire, which was followed by a din
ner given by Mrs. John G. Hewson at
her home in Sixteenth street, after
which he and some Of the other young
guests departed for the Washington
club, where a dance was in progress,
at which the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor and Mrs. N!agel were hosts
for their children's friends. Master
Charles got home in the hours just
preceding the wee sma ones, a bit
tired, but very enthusiastic, just as a
beginner in anything always is, and
now he throws no more stones at So
ciety or it's devotees.
