Our Houses as Our Mirrors.
By Ruth Cameron.

Have you ever happened to observe how
largely a house absorbs an atmosphere
from those who dwell in it?
This thought came strongly to me the
other day when 1 went to visit an old
friend and found a little note saying that
she had been unexpectedly called away
for few hours and inviting me to get
the key from neighbor. enter and make
myself comfortable.
My friend is one of those beautifully
hospitable people who have the pleasant
art of making every guest feel thoroughly
at home, and her house must have alb
sorbed some Of that spirit. For the mo-
ment I entered / felt at home. The
empty house greeted me. / missed my
friend. of course but l felt no sense OF
constraint or formality. as l would have
in SO many houses. The house was full
of that spirit of hospitality which its
mistress possesses.
Perhaps you will remind me that the
character of the furnishings may have
had something to do with my impression.
l grant it, The congenial magazines and
books and pictures. the comfortable
chairs, the harmonious hangings did give
me part of my welcome. But not all.
insist that the spirit of hospitality was
in that house.
Surely YOU know some home which has
an atmosphere of cold formality. No
matter how tasteful and pleasant the
surroundings, you never feel wholly at
ease Nor is it simply your hostess lack
of cordially. Even before she appears,
you sit in chill constraint on the edge OF
your chair. You are oppressed and re-
PEELED by the atmosphere of the house.
Again there are homes which seem to
be haunted by the spirit of unrest. and
others where peace abfdes. Some one
has beautifully said, An old house har-
bors peace better than a new one" That
is partially true. and yet I know many
new homes which, being Inhabited by
tranquil, restful people, seem to breathe
the spirit of peace on all who enter there.
Along these same lines / have another
theory, and that is that household pets
also take on the character Of those with
whom they live. The most diSagreeable
dog / ever knew lived with some most
unamiable people The dog finally be-
came so snappy that they had to get him
out of the neighborhood. He was given
to the family carpenter The other day
called there and a pleasant little dog
trotted into the room and welcomed me.
could hardly be convince that 1t was
actually our neighborhood bete-no:re. But
it was. Living with pleasant people he
had become pleasant himself
Again 1 know a wonderful black Per-
sian puss with queer uncatliNe habits
who Is the close friend Of distinctly
eccentric and wonderful woman: and
have been particularly impressed with
the case of an awkward. impetuous, web
meaning doggie who certainly mirrors the
characteristics. If not the actual appear
ance. of his master.
Truly, it is an interesting theory, this
idea that people with strong character
tstics affect their surroundings. Try It
out some day with your friends.

Many players are inclined to over
they are called upon to declare after
their partners bid has been over-called
by an intervening player. All such as
sisting bids should convey accurate in
formation to the partner, as they deter
mine his future course If the bidding con-
tinues. If player assists on one thing
at one time and on something else at
another. the original bidder will never
know what he is about.
It Is conventional for any player to
make an original declaration of one trick
when he holds hand that comes up to
certaip standard. This standard is based
on the law Of probabilities, and. while
it will not win out every time. 1t will win
out in the long run. The foundation upon
which 1t is built Is the expectation that
the partner will hold his share of the out
standing winning cards-that is, two
tricks in something or other on the aver
age.
Consequently. when the partner Of the
one who makes an original bid finds him.
self with not more than two tricks in his
hand he has no right to assist the bid
by going higher. because the two tricks
that he holds have already been included
in his partners declaration.
The average player is continually max
ing the mistake of regarding his own
hand as if it were a separate affair, and
looking upon his partners bids as based
on that players own cards, forgetting
that 1t is very seldom that bidder eX-
poets to take all the tricks himself. with
out any assistance from his partner. Take
this case:

his hand one sure trick In that suit and

soft drapings and graceful lines show
up to the best advantage, but some
thing also is to be accredited to the fact
that a contrast is always appreciated.
The model sketched represents pretty

The skirt is cut long and full, then the
fullness is taken in, in gathers, to meet the
measurements of the waist. The length

modes-the classic which represents SIM

absolutely no rule to be observed. The

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

The mistake most women make, and
especially those who have reached MID

in the shape and size Of their corsets;
also the method Of putting them on
AZ a rule the woman who finds flesh
increasing sets out to buy q corset that

s;rab,e qualities. of course, but the quail

Strength in the opinion or most women
means something hard and unyielding,

a lightweight corset will be much more
satisfactory than heavy one. In fact
the first necessity in a corset Tor a
woman whose figure Is somewhat full
is that It should be light In weight, Win

the size that fits the hips rather than

hips being made to measure a little less

line This can take care of itself in these
days Of corsetless figures.
An authority on corsets recommends
the following directions for putting on a
corset:
First provide three laces. One should
be used from the top to within four
eyelet holes of the waist line. These
four holes and four below them are for
the second lace, the third being used for
the space from below tha waist to the

that a mile in length in James street
having been laid ten years ago this
year, and Romans are so well satisfied
with it that they designate it as their
preference even at a greater cost than
other payements. Horses have never
been known to slip on it, and neither
do automobiles skid on it and it is just
as easily swept and kept clean as is
