THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

For the great men are modest, be-
cause they continually compare them
selves, not with other men, but with that
idea of the perfect which they have be-
fore their minds. Milton.
1t has always seemed to me that the
blind bard might well have added that
the great men were great for the same
reason that they were modest.
l want to tell you today little story
about a certain great woman ! have had
the privilege of knowing.
l call her great and perhaps you are
waiting to hear some famous name. but
1 don't use the term in just that way.
For she has spent herself in channels
which had no great name on earth.
But she is great just the same, even ii
nobody knows it.
This woman, who is now about fifty
years old, has brought up family of
seven children. And not only has she
been one of the finest of house-mOthers
to them. but she has also frequently been
the financial head of the family. She
has been I'm several lines of work, literary
and otherwise, and she says today,
proudly and with absolute truth, $50 far,
l have never failed"
She has at different times earned a sal
airy of over twenty-five hundred year,
which, if you will recall statistics l have
wage of the average man. Furthermore,
she did not have a college course or any
specific training-Only an ordinary high
school education.
OF course the natural explanation of
such a career is that she an unusu-
ally good mind. Yes, she has that. But
don't think it is chiefly that which has
made her success possible. There are
many qualities which have helped-a
splendid energy, an unusual definiteness
and practicability, never-fiagging per-
severance and an agreeable personality.
have all played their parts. But the
quality which has had the most to do
with making this woman successful in
whatever she turned her hand to. l
think. is just this, "a passion for per-
lection"
1 worked with her once and 1 have
good reason to know. At the time l often
smarted and sometimes rebelied at the
exactions which she laid upon US both,
but now I only wish l had been with her
longer.
She never tried to do her work just SO
that it would "get by Her superiors
were usually her interiors, and she might
have done less careful work, and still
been praised. But she wasn't working
primarily for them or their praise-she
was working for herself and her OWE
praise. and her ideal was not to have
things do but to have them right
L And the result was that she can say
now, 81 never failed
/ wish that every girl in this city who
is starting on a business or professional
career might work under that woman
for a few weeks. l am sure she would
be better worker for it all her life.
Every one cannot have remarkable
brains Every one cannot have personal

Wardrobe Hints.

Ravens wing serge is quite the color
OF the hour for useful wear and it is
usually richly braided.
Ratine is being used for cuffs, collars
and belts with all kinds of dresses. White
ratine on gray gowns is a popular COM
bination.
Purple gowns are in vogue and are
often trimmed with purple.
Gray dresses are trimmed with cut
steel trimmings
Velvet gowns were never more worn,
especially In green or royal blue.
Gold and water blue are being made I'D
in combination for evening wear, the
skirt bordered with gold and a narrow
edging of fur
A great secret in good dressing, now
and always, is not to run into extremes
of fashion.
Belts are used on some of the wraps.

Eat and Get Thin.

This is turning an old phrase face about. but
modern methods Of reducing fat have made this

exertion during this warm weather. and likewise

druggist (or write the Marnola Co.. 2s3 Farmer
Bldg. Detroit, Mich) and give him Tor send

money the druggist will put you in the way Of
satisfying your ambition for q nice. trim, slim
figure. without fear Of harm even on the hottest
summer days. He will hand you a large ease Of
Marmola Prescription Tablets compounded in

of serge or cloth for business wear.
is in the new blue and gold combination
1t is slightly empired and has a demure
tichu of fawn-colored lace. This is caug II
with bows and ends of light brown vel
vet ribbon. Around the foot of the skirt
and on the sleeves are shirred bands OF
the taffeta, with picot fringing, showing
the bright blue cross threads.
Another, odd little dress is in crepe de
chine of a really bright Pink that is yet
mum. In the front of this is a bib apron,
square and with plain edge, of the crepe
de chine, with row of small crystal
buttons down each side.
In the plain frocks for business or shop
ping wear the waist line is more nearly
normal than IL has been for several years,
though the empire influence is still seen.
Belts or satin glrdles encircle some and
the sailor collar remains, though much
reduced In size. The collars are finished
with ties of black satin, even on the
colored models.
The inevitable blue serge appears TO
have a stronger hold than ever in this
line of dresses. 1t is a very dark navy,
n3fQly 10 De OlSIlnS ulSllcU from Didck
under artificial Light, and it is trimmed
in black or a color. The weave is mod
crate, and there is pretty sure to be
some embroidery above even the plain
est model-perhaps just spray in
purple or green on the narrow collar
and the blouse pocket. which Is a fea-
ture of many. The sleeve covers the
elbow instead of ending just at or
above the joint as in last years mod
els. whether or not short net under
sleeves are worn. and very few of the
serge dresses have full-length, closed
sleeves. The armhole is wide-the new
of the peasant shoulder
and outlined sometimes by binding of
satin in another color, and sometimes
by a fold Of the serge. The skirts are
slightly fuller than of late.
One advance model in blue serge has
several good features. 1t buttons down
the back and has narrow vest erect
In cream net, with tiny dark blue en-
amel buttons in a row down the middle.
On the bodice are siX-inch perpendicu-
lar bands of embroidery in lighter blue
and green, alternating near the waist
line with big dots in black shaggy en-
broidery resembling ratine. The skirt
Is plain in front, but has fold around
the back at the knees. The back panel
Is Kathered into the belt. making the
closing on the hip. marked with big
buttons covered with the rat1ne en-
broidery.

Sumptuous Evening Coats.

Magnificent laces. in many cases me-
talic. are used upon some of the sumptu-
Gus evening coats of the moment, and
daring effects are produced with velvet
and fur, among which leopard is in the
ascendant.
But none of the ornately trimmed coats
transcends in beauty and distinction the
all ernline models exquisitely lined.
The Innings are made of white and gold
or white and silver brocade, and color is
also used. In the case of two mag
nificent ermine coats the Innings were of
crimson velvet embossed with gray satin
crepe and silver lace.

Notes and Novelties.

Among the novelties Of the season that
every woman would do we'll to remember
Is that satin is used over satin for
draperies: chiffon is not as Fashionable as
It was. This does not mean that II mas

seen on many excellent gowns. but the
new thing is to use satin instead.
