Does 1t Pay to Cling to
High Ideals Through Life
Serious Girl Who Sees Butterfly Type Sailing
Into Marriage Port Is Tempted to Ask
This Question.

or not, nobody knows but the individuals.
But the fact is that some folk who have
certain weIl-formed ideals Of what con-
stitutes life as they would like 1t are not
willing to pay the price they must when
they deliberately accept poor substitutes.
Virtue Its own Reward.
1t is the c-me old question that men
and women ask over and over again
Does it pay?"
Does It pay in business TO be quite
scrupulous, when the little deviatons
often win the big returns? And the indi-
vidual a'one must make reply. All along
the line the question comes up, and while
one is bound to admit that material
things and things that are not altogether
material. do sometimes have a way of
eluding the grasp OF folk who are the
most particular and the most fastidious
in their viewpoints and their manner of
carrying them out, one can still com
fortably fall back upon that maxim that
has adorned the pages Of many an old
copy book
Virtue is her own reward"
As for the young woman who protest
ingly asks If II pays. one believes that,
try as she might, she could not travel
another way. for there would be her own
self perpetually calling her back.

Your Sachet Cap.

1t should be of handkerchief linen or
nainsook, the heavier the better. for the
cdor of the sachet must be safely con-
fined within the caps dainty limits; it
would escape through a thin material
Cut from the goods a round piece about
sixteen inches across and mark out the
edges with a thimble and pencil for seal
lops Buttonhole the scallops and edge
with a narrow valenciennes lace to re-
lieve the somewhat heavy appearance Of
the cap Run a narrow casing about an
inch and a quarter above the scallops for
an elastic. In the center work solid
design in white punch work, for eyelets
would permit the odor of the sachet to
escape. Make a fat, three-inch-square
sachet bag of the material used in the
cap (nainsook or handkerchief linen will
be heavy enough, a thin layer of cot
ton and plenty of sachet, and baste il 70
the inside of the cap right under the
center design. Use a basting stitch. with
very tiny stitches on the outside and
large ones inside, so that the hastings
will not be conspicuously prominent on
the outside. Place twisted ribbon about
the cap over the elastic casing and a
small ribbon bow in the exact center
close to the scalloped edge The sachet
cap is then ready for business" Worn
for an hour or so the cap will impart
a delightful, II somewhat fleeting, frag-
rance to the tresses. but worn over night
the perfume will sometimes cling to the
hair for several days.

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

One has little use for the public dis
cussion OF affairs OF the heart and the
little problems that vex the waking and
sleeping hours OF young folk who con-
fidently. or at least hopefully, look
ahead to the day when their love-ship
shall come sailing back with its pre-
cious freight OF happiness. But 1t Is
true that the heart knoweth his own
bitterness" and one must hearken once
in a while to a complaint that comes
from the heart
So one listens with patience-one
hopes with understanding-to the voice
OF one young woman who says she
speaks for many of her kind when she
puts a rather searching question.
She asks why II so often happens that
young women of the most pronounced
butterfly type, with scarcely a serious,
purposeful thought in their heads, and
rarely a dignified action, are the ones
who. as she puts IT, have the best time
in life" while the good, sensible, re-
spectacle ones are quite overlooked. As
she sees II, II is not at all a question Of
beauty, because often those thrust aside
are among Fortunes favorites. while
the others have nothing but gush and
mere Stiffness to commend them.
And then she goes on to explain.

By SULIA CHANDLER MANI.

ITO pass is the thing would seem to
be the slogan of Washington mothers.
To pass on with the class to a higher
grade no matter what the cost For
you see mothers and fathers pride will
be piqued il son or daughter is forced
TO go through the same half grade again.
and pride is a thing of so great account
that it must hold up its head at any
cost.
Last June, when the last semester of
the school year was nearing its end.
experimenting principals were besieged
by mothers and fathers who had re-
ceived notification that their children
had not made marks in their grades
which justified their teachers in promot-
ing them. It couldn't be true. Their
parents just knew it couldn't be true.
Their children were not stupid. There
must be some mistake. The school au-
thorities listened quite patiently TO hun
dreds of varying reasons, and in some
instances whole classes were given eN-
aminatIOns over again for the sake OF
the few whose marks were below the
passing standard. and in other cases
pupils whose understanding OF the work
they had done was doubtful were passed
on trial for teachers are more than will

To Prevent Stocking Runners.

Even with the little rubber buttons,
stocking garters will often cause runners
in silk stockings. There are two ways
to prevent runners, and combined they
are doubly effective. Place small black
tape loops around the tops, one for eacn
garter. Slip the buttons through the
loops and then fasten them with the
clasp. The loops should be fastened to
the stocking with machine stitching to
make them stronger. Then place about
the stocking a row of stitching about an
inch below the garter top. Stretch the
gauze Of the stocking as you are stitching
or it will bind the leg. II runners do
come, they will not pass beyond the
stitched line.

BEAUTY AN ASSET,
SAYS PRETTY STAR
Heroine of "Fine Feathers" Believes
Personal Appearance Goes
Long Way.

Lolita Robertson. the attractive young
actress who will be seen here in Fine
Feathers" at the National Theater this
week. does not believe in the statements
recently made by certain reformers that
one of the dangers of youth lies in over
estimating the value of a pretty face or
perfect form. On this subject she
has thus expressed herself.
undertaking physical attractions is a
tendency which has spoiled the lives Of
more women than the placing the full
value on freshness and beauty. While
il may be difficult to strike a happy
medium, you will find that the women
who have made the most of their physi-
cal charms are not the women who are
Cftenest appearing in divorce courts or
fighting against the DEGREES their hus-
bands are trying to secure. Nor is 1t the
attractive looking woman who is tramp
ing the streets looking for work today
but the women who looks old. who has
neglected herself, and is wrinkled and
generally down at the heel
while a pretty face may subject a
girl to more temptations, il isn't her
face, but her lack of will power that
makes her yield to the desire for pretty
clothes and a life OF seeming ease ana
pleasure, just like the heroine in Fine
Feathers which | am now playing.
Wholesale denunciatlon of beauty par
IOrs is unwise, as thoughtful women
know. We are not living in the country
where there is plenty of fresh air. pure
water. and abundant natural means of
, keeping young. Dusty streets, smoke
laden air. are all foes TO a woman's 5
complexion. II she doesn't take pre-
cautions to counteract these, she will
surely grow old before her time.
Beauty is not only an asset on the
stage but in every other walk OF life
Every woman owes it to her own self
respect to keep looking as comely as
possible. Many a woman owes her posi-
tiOn TO her good grooming. quite as much
as TO her intellectual attainments.
It's the way of the world. and OF men,
you know"

How TO Cook Endiyes,

The following is an excellent French
way of cooking the endives. Boil the
leaves in lots of salt and water; when
tender, pour the whole thing into a
large sieve, and, as soon as the hot
water has drained away, put the sieve
under a tap and let cold water run on
it for a few minutes. After the cold
water, put the endives on a chopping
board or rub it through a fine sieve
in both cases return it to the fire after
putting it into a china saucepan, with
a pat of butter and one teaspoonful OF
fine flour. Melt and mix the butter
and -four, stir in the vegetable, and
let it simmer fifteen minutes. Add a
little cream or milk quite at the last
moment, to make it look soft and
pretty.
