THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Tt is very hard she haid. after having
finally put through her plan despite all
objections, for me to give up anything
1 set my mind on
She said it triumphantly, her friends
applauded Der, and the plan which she
had put through was an eminently desir-
able one, which brought much pleasure
to several people.
But all the same, think that girl needs
to look out. There is a power within
her in which she justly exults, but it is
a power which may bring her happiness
or misery, according to whether she con-
trolls 1t or let's 1t control her.
All virtues have a point at which they
change color and become vices. De-
termination and perseverance are no ex-
ceptions to this rule.
To have the perseverance and stick-to-
it-iveness to carry through your plans,
even when many objections are raised
against them and many obstacles stand in
their way. is good so long as these OBJ
stables and objections do not consist Of
the rights, desires and privileges OF
others.
Some one has said that the only diff
ference between perseverance and OBJ
stinacy Is that perseverance is what you
exhibit, and Obstinacy Is what the other
man shows. If you allow for shifted
viewpoints that certainly is a clever
analysis. but taking them both from the
same viewpoint, 1 should say that per-
severance is reasonable, considerable te-
nacity that is never blind to the rights
of others, and obstinacy is a blind, pig
headed. tenacity that must reach its
goal, no matter whose rights or COM
forts it tramples over to get there.
This girl who triumphs in the fact that
she finds it hard to give up is right on
the borderland between perseverance and
obstinacy. l have seen her get good
things DONE despite many obstacles, de-
spite lack of means to work with, de-
spite discouraging shiftlessness on the
part of others, and l have admired her.
At other times l have seen her, at a
gathering of young folks, insist on put
ting through some plan which was not
at all agreeable to the majority, and
have not admired her.
l know more than one man who, al
though attracted by her many good
qualities, has been repealed by these ex-
hibitions of power and perseverance gone
to seed.
Indeed, an unannounced engagement
was broken by the man because this
girl would insist on ordering his whole
life and. worse still, in ordering him
about before other people. Some men
never like to be ordered about at all;
some men in their courtship days rather
enjoy being commanded by the lady of
their hearts in private, but no man likes
to be dictated to In public, no matter how
well he loves the dictator.
My advice to any man or woman who
is conscious of possessing the power of
getting his or her own way, Is to look
well to that power, and be very careful
to see that it does not lead through the
paths of selfishness to the land Of un.
popularity.

Floor Coverings.

When change Is proposed from carpets
to hardwood floors and rugs, or filing and
rugs, the first objection usually raised
is the increase in cost. This Is wrong
idea, as rugs are to be had at a most
reasonable figure--cost varying of course
with choice.
Housekeeping Is robbed Of half it's hor-
rors IL there are no heavy carpets to con-
slider. Carpets in dining rooms are open
to serious objection, as it is almost i'm
possible to keep them clean. There the
bare floor seems a necessity. Many house
keepers buy long hall rugs and lay them
outside the chairs at the table. This IL
sufficient to deaden the footsteps. When
no rug IL used in q dining room, 1t is
wise to have the chairs provided with
rubber tips, or the noise will be most
trying.
Oriental rugs may be washed without
injury. 1t has even been said that wash
ing improves the colors. Cotton rugs
may be redyed II faded. Figured car
pets are made attractive when dyed

II carpets are used, by all means have

the way carpets in the finer hotels seem
to yield to the football, giving us the
idea Of being particularly heavy ana

have at home. Padding makes the carpet

SARToRIAL HINTS.
BY Elizabeth Lee.

The possibilities of short lengths Of
ribbon and lace, bits of linen, lawn. or
silk are simply wonderful. If only they
happen to fall into skilled hands, while
even the veriest amateur can produce
really charming results, supposing her
taste is good, and all at little or no cost
beyond industry. All the tiny scraps that
are left over from the summer sewing
now in progress should be carefully pre-
served, because they can all be utilized.

and embroidery. too, being employed, yet
when all the linen was cut away the eff

posed Of incrustations of lace and en-
broidery. Yet these same bits of decora-
ton would in nine cases out of ten have
been consigned to the waste basket.
Embr oidered linen belts are cheap
enough, l know, still there cannot be
the individuality about them as may be
seen in q belt made at home, say, from
a single motif of handsome embroidery

linen. closing with a buckle of ones own

come in well for chemisettes, for while
these. too. are cheap, ready for wear,
there is always a certain sameness
about them, unless those of better
quality, and consequently more eXpen-
sive. Simply tucked in groups, or with
the addition of bit of lace, these
homemade affairs will possess a GER
tain air of daintiness the shop article
lacks entirely.
The same with coat collars. Little
bits of lawn and lace. forming them
selves into a dainty lingerie collar by
hand sewing. is a very different Access
sorry to the machine-made collars Of
fered for sale.
Quite a tiny bit of lawn can be fash
toned into dainty bib for baby, and
a large piece for small neck pillow
cover for an invalid or a baby car
riage.
Another way in which short lengths
of ribbon and lace or lawn may be
utilized is in making top" for a negli-
ge. That is. deep yoke reaching the
bust. and short sleeves are created by
sewing strips of ribbon and lace to-
gether alternately and then buying
sufficient lawn or organdie to finish the
garment. All that is necessary is to
hem the material on the bottom and
gather it at the top. Only a few
stitches are required to put the gar
ment together, calling for little time or
skill either. yet think of the price
asked for anything so smart in the
stores.
Other short lengths Of ribbon can be
twisted around fine wire and serve for
pretty hair garnitures. The tiniest
scraps will make buds to decorate
these ribbon bands. Small pieces of
silk should be preserved for pipings
and larger pieces for small ties or
similar decorations for the neck.
