TRUE IDEALISM

Are you an idealist? Be thankful
for it. Permit no one to tear the
scales from your eyes.
There can be nothing more terrible
than standing face TO face with things
as they are. The light of idealism
is the only thing that can make men
and women and human events bear
able.
Friendship, love, is the Artist that
brushes magic glow over the face
of your friend so you see in him the
beauties you wish were there, the
nobility you hope enshrines him.
Idealism teaches you patience, hum
ility. Without it you should under
stand you are as bad as the rest of
humanity, as good as all others, and
thus squaring yourselfwith the world
in an absolute knowledge fyour own
defects and virtues you would rob
life of faith and Danish hope from
your heart.

the Wind. Dust swirls blind after a
time and the roar of the busy mart
shuts out the pleadings of nature so
the glory of early ideals fades over
the lost, sun-kissed sea of boyhood.
What Iwere your dreams then?
Were they of wealth. were they of
the hard money changing world into
which you have fought your way?
Were they not rather of colossal
manhood, physical or mental, so that
worshippers knelt at your feet? You
dreamed yourself supreme; you
crushed your enemies and elevated
your friends and all men called you
good. In your hearts dreams, then,
you looked upon yourself as a great
poet, famous writer. Wierdly
beautiful thought flowed from the
imaginary pen and the world was
better for your musings.
So ran the idealism of your boy
hood days. Well for him who holds
these air castles close to the heart of
hismanhood and touches them gently
with the finger of an ancient love.
You know you shall never break the
giants over your knee and mock the
towering enemy that your dearest
friend may triumph. You knowyou
shall never sing sweet songs so the
world hearing shall stand entranced.
Time has drawn the realism from
your imaginings. Yet 60 forward,
wrapping yourself in the mist ofim-
possible dreams So shall you be
freer in your dealings with men, fit
ter to cope with hard reality, more
apt to take life lightly and pass sew
Gritty to the wretch who has lost his
idealism and forgotten how to smile

Topics Of Interest to Every Woman
EDITED By JULIA CHANDLER MANI
MANY WAYS TO USE
JAPANESE TOWELS
They Make Lovely Bags, Toilet Sets,
and Trimmings.

The majority of us know the little blue
and white towels of the japanese collie
and peasant only as a bit of blue and
white decoration.
One there is, clever woman who has
discovered that there are divers and sun
dry uses to which they may be put.
The towels are white. thirteen inches
wide and are printed in unfading blue
that only grows brighter from repeated
visits to the laundry.
Bamboo and the chrysanthemums are
the favorite designs, although there is
quite variety. These designs are print
ed on to the towel. which measures a
scanty yard. They are most artistic and
have been in use in Nippon for ages.
The first thing this clever woman made
was a summer workbag. One towel was
long enough for both sides. The de-
sign was one that was not ruined by
cutting in half As the cotton was rather
sleazy. she lined the bag with thin mus
lin.
Two pieces of cotton cord served as
draw strings, and a few points of white
Anatolia lace, or fringe, made an a6mi-
rable finish across the bottom.
The bag was so much admired that she
further experimental, and concluded to
do up her room in blue and white, and
use nothing but the Japanese towels.
The bureau and table scarfs were made
Of them, with border Of the Anatolia
fringe.
The counterpane, made of white muslin
and cut long enough to cover the bolster,
was bordered with the toweling, and was
extremely pretty. The short window cur
tains were trimmed across the bottom
with bands Of the same.
The couch cushions were all covered
with the toweling in as great variety
of designs as possible. OF course, the
rug was blue and white, and the wall
paper matched.
Another experiment was made that
turned out a great success A perfectly
plain white frock was bought. 1t was
made of the rough material that looks as
IL you had. cut up your bath sheet to
save expense. The skirt was faced on
the right side with a border of the
towelling: belt and sash were made Of
the same, and a part of the blue design
was ingeniously worked into the collar
and cuffs. 1t was a most artistic dress.

VACUUM SWEEPER
AID TOHOMEMAKER
Invention Is Great Time and
Labor Saver.

The housewife who is looking for
something new whereby she can save
time and make the dreaded housework
easier ought to have one Of the new
vacuum sweepers. These are very easy
to operate indeed, and cost only $3.50, but
the most important part about them is
that they collect all dust and do not
scatter any, as in the old-fashioned way
No need to cover pictures, books or
ornaments of any sort, and every woman
should stop to think what this means
as time saver, for who, after all. is as
busy as the average housekeeper whose
duties take her over the house many
times a day?
Any sort of a clever device for saving
time ought then to be, hailed with de-
light by the modern housewife. In using
the old-fashioned sweeper it was neces-
sary to pull out every piece of furniture
unless the careless housewife did not
mind the accumulation of dust and what
not under the bed, bureau or sideboard.
This new sweeper, however. avoids all
this extra work. as 1t is so built that it
can be run under any low built piece OF
furniture. This sweeper, too, is sanitary
above all things, and that is what the
modern housekeeper is looking for. a
sanitary sweeper as well as a sanitary
house in all things.
A child can manage the sweeper, be-
cause it is so easy TO move across the
room, and there could not be a better
idea than for every mother to get one
of these sweepers and to let the children
use IT now, in the summer time, when
they are out of school.
It will save mother lots Of time that
she can spend around the house in Other
ha sOn nf rla2
and delight to the little ones, who like
nothing better than to feel that they are
actually and really helping mother clean

MILLIONS In AUTOS
THAT WENT ABROAD
Machines Made Here Find Ready
Market in Various
Countries.

Thirty million dollars worth Of Amer
lean automobiles found markets abroad
last year, against less than $1,000 900
worth ten years ago. Figures just COM
pleted by the Division Of Statistics of
the Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce show that the exports of
/ automobiles to foreign countries in the
| fiscal year 1912 were valued at 81. SOC, 900.
and of parts thereof, including tires,
IS. 10000
II to this were added the shipments
in Hawaii and Porto Rico. We get for
the years sales OF American automobiles
outside OF continental United States a
| round $50, 0O0.000 since the value of auto
mobiles and parts thereof sent to Porto
Rico was nearly 100000 and to the
Hawaiian Islands a little over 81, 100000.
The totals number of machines ex-
ported to foreign countries was q. .757.
valued at S2l, ,55o.l59. averaging slightly
less than s1,0C0 each. while those to the
noncontiguous territory were higher, av-
eraging 81, 500 each.
The export price of American automo-
biles in 1912 averaged less than in any
earlier year in the history of the export
trade. The average for 1912. dividing
the total number OF machines exported
into stated value, was $3.50 each, against
H.l0o in 1911. 1880 in 1910. s1,7Oo in 1909,
and 1850 in hos
On the import side, the automobiles
imported last year amounted to but
about 100000 in value. against more
than 100000 in 1907. The average i'm
port value of the automobiles brought
into the country last year was s. 2216
each, against s2.13S in 1911, 81. .9ss In 1910,
H.7ss in 1909, and s2.3s2 in 1908. Thus the
export price OF American machines has
fallen from 8, $50 in 1903 to 800 in 1912.
while the import price for foreign auto
mobiles entering the country has only
fallen from s2,3s2 in 1908 to se,21s in 1872.
the reduction in price on the export side
being II per cent and on the import
side but per cent.
Even the remarkable growth in the
exports of American automobiles noted
above has not kept pace with the growth
in production at home, since the census
of 1900 showed the value of automobiles
manufactured in the United States in
1893 at A.74s000. while that of 1910 showed
S249 202, 900 as the value manufactured in
1909 The wages paid in the automobile
industry as shown by the census report
aggregated 81, ,321 900 in 1899 and S4s 694, 600
in 1909; the capital employed in the in
dustry in 1899, s5,7ss.OOo. and in 1909, s173,-
S57.O00 and the number OF wage earners
employed in 1899 to be 2,2il. and in 1909
75.72.
English-speaking people are the chief
purchasers of American automobiles. OF
the 21.757 exported in 1872. 6,2Ss went to
Canada, 5,71s TO the United Kingdom,
and 3.625 to Australia and New Zealand

credited to South America. while Euro
pean countries other than the United

OF the 963 automobiles imported into
the country in the fiscal year 1912, 4u1
were from France, 1ss from the United

Labor Day at Chevy Chase Lake.

While no extra means Of entertainment
are to be provided at Chevy Chase Lake
for the coming holiday, "a big time
will undoubtedly be enjoyed by all who
spend the day at this beautiful resort.
Always popular as a family resort. the
attractions of the park are invariably
taxed by this class of patronage on holi-
days. The extensive grounds. the many
summer houses, tables and seats and
supplies of water provide all the neces-
stiles for successful picnicking, and La
Dor Day will very likely find hundreds
enjoying these features.
At night there will be the customary
illuminations, the concert by the Marine
Band players. with free dancing in the
spacious pavilion at the later part OF
the evening. Ladies' and children may
come to Chevy Chase Lake unattended,
IL conditions make 1t necessary, for the
grounds are policed all day and evening.
and no intoxfcants are sold or permitted
on the grounds. No matter how heavy
the attendance, car service is always in
every way adequate.

BUTTONHOLES SHOULD BE
WORKED HORIZONTALLY

In most of the ready-to-wear shirt
waists and lingerie blouses sold in the
shops the buttonhole will be cut parallel
with the opening, and IL there is the
slightest strain on them when the blouse
is worn they will either come unfastened
or will cape open in a most discouraging
way.
There is really no way to remedy this
fault in the bought waist unless you are
able to match the material and cut
away the strip of material having the
buttonholes in it and stitch on a new
piece, in which you can work the but
tonholes horizontally.
