THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
BY Ruth Cameron.

Il wouldn't give much for person
who didn't have backbone enough to
hate some one | heard girl say
that the other day in Justification OF
about disliking one of the girls at her
school Her mother had gently re-
buked her for having such feeling,
and the above statement, accompanied
by toss OF the head. was her way of
taking a rebuke.
1t seems to me that this idea that 1t
takes backbone to he an enemy. ana
that it is sign Of high strung and
desirable temperament to hate. has
good deal of prevalence. People quote.
in support of this view. the saying that
man who has no enemies has not
done very much They have the wrong
idea. BY a mans enemies, this say
ing means those who hate him. not
those whom he hates. To be hated
may sometimes be a sign of character,
10 hate. never.
l wish the folks who hold this pc
culiar' idea would make business
some day of analyzing the causes and
motives behind all the hatred which
they pride themselves on cherishing.
and then see II they think hating is so
fine q thing.
II we hated people for being cruel.
for causing suffering, or for being very
wicked in any direction, our hatred
would not be an altogether shameful
thing. although even then it would be

they are not. nor anything like that
One is a rather small-minded person
who once said something unkind about
you, which came to your ears. The

simply desire for revenge. Another

SARTORIAL HINTS.
BY Elizabeth Lee.

Elderly women might with benefit
take advantage of the bargain sales
in remnants of fine wooden goods now
going on in the stores.
One can find the greatest variety or
quite thin fabrics. as nuns yelling,
albatross, crepon, panama and sulHh
serge. all suitable alike for making up
! into pretty and comfortable gowns for
| home wear. \ frock of this kind
comes in SO well for vacation use
| later on.
Many women who are no longer
young often feel the cold when away
from their own homes, and require a
gown little warmer when visiting
| than they usually wear.
In the country or at the seaside a
simple woolen gown that is also light
| in weight will be found a great COM
| fort at times.
| Some of these remnants are going for
| half price, SO one can get an excellent
material for only a very small sum.
The same remark will apply to trim
mings. Really handsome short lengths
and odd bits are going at very low
prices. The trimming question is
quite as important as the material when
it comes to the needs of the elderly
woman. Anything, ever so inexpensive
and simple, will answer when the
wearer of the frock is quite youthful,
| but in my opinion the gown of the
upon good lines. suiting her individual
ity, but never elaborate. for daily wear.
| the material of good quality and the
trimming conspicuous for its quality
rather than quantity.
! 1t may be a handsome lace collar
and cuffs. bit of hand braiding or
embroidery. a little velvet or trile
of lingerie. but it should be the best
/ of its kind always.
| Most women have something on the
order of the list above lying by which
| could be used up and so save buying.
Even should it be little old fash
| ioned what does it matter? If the
dress is up-to-date in style the trim
| ming will surely take on the same air.
The one-piece models are really the
| very best for women generally. and
| the older women particularly. If only
| the dress could be made to close in
the front and had long sleeves. but
these features have not been included
in the styles of late years, otherwise
l am sure elderly women would in
ready to wear, instead of getting them
made AS a fact. not a few dress
makers refuse to make the closing down
the front. even when the order is given
for it. I have often wondered why the
dressmakers ,not alb were so short
sighted to please themselves rather
than their patrons--why they should
always meet a patrons expressed wishes
in regard to making her gown: "Oh.
no: YOU can't have pleats in the skirt
oh dear: nobodys wearing long
sleeves. The yoke lined. did you say?
why. who ever heard of such thing
1t seems to me there is a fortune
for a woman who has good ideas-that
is sufficient to enable her to know how
she might improve upon her patrons
scheme without practically changing it,
and with sense enough either to hold
her tongue or acquiesce as practicable.
The patron is going to wear the dress,
not the maker, so ! cannot see any
reason in the world why a person
should be compelled to wear the choice
of another. but we do, don't we, time
and again?

for that hate is simply antaEonism.
And probably at least two or three of
those whom you say you hate or dis
like are people who have offended you
in no more sinful way than by being
successful in some direction than your
self And the other name of that hate
is the ugly little word-envy.
Would you say that man or woman
who was too big and too busy to
bother with any of these mean and
childish feelings wasn't worth
much''''
It is sometimes said in extenuation-
nay, more in praise-of hating that
people who have strong likes also have
strong dislikes. This may be true OF
people at a certain stage of develop
ment. but the biggest people are those
who put so much of their energy into
loving and living that they haven't
any time for hating.

Cotton Goods and Civilization.

The prospect for n bumped
cotton crop should not cause the
Texas farmer to despair, for the
uses OF cotton are increasing far
more rapidly than production.
Press reports from Manila an
nounce that Uncle Sam is putting
trousers on the Filipinos, and
when our fellow citizens on the
islands take to full dress, it will
open up a new market for cotton
goods; likewise the awakening in
China will call for more clothing.
The Stars and Stripes and
Christianity are the two best
friends of the cotton farmer and
while the bulls and bears are
tearing at the fIeecy staple, the
Flag and the Cross light the
