No Wasted Moments.

A story is told of Gladstone, which
shows how careful the old statesman
was not to waste a moment of his
precious life. One day the Grand Old
Man" went to visit a friend. and after
an interesting conversation of an hour
or SO, the host left the room for a few
moments. On returning. he found
Gladstone deeply immersed in a book,
which he carried with him for use at
just such spare moments as these.
This was Gladstones method of uti-
lizing every minute of his waking
hours 1t is not fair, however, to in
sist that every man should do the
same, for it is not considered polite
to read a book while calling on an ac-
quaintance. 1t would be well, how
ever, for every one to carry book
with him in his pocket. There are
many spare minutes during which
we have nothing to do, when we might
be studying.

WEDDING GOWNS OF BEAUTY
Brides of the Winter and Their At
tendants Have Been Most Charm
lnely ALFRED.

Winter brides have been, if pos
sible, excelling those of the earlier
season in the beauty of their we'd
ding gowns and the daintiness of
the professions. A recent bride
chose for her bridesmaids tudor
gowns in brocade that could have
stood alone, Elizabethan collars and
small gold caps which proved most
daintily becoming. Another bride
wore her heavy lace veil Madonna
fashion, with the filmiest of tulle
falling over the face. AS she walked
up the aisle the diamonds and crys-
tails with which her gown was en-
broidered caught the light and SHIN
mered most POLITICALLY. Quantities
of lovely old lace draped her silver
brocade train.
Here again the bridesmaids had
selected a decorative period for their
Pompadour pannier gowns of old
rose and china blue. With these they
wore large black hats and carried
bouquets Of pink roses. Shepherd
ess dresses were worn by another set
of bridesmaids, who carried crooks
on which punches of flowers were
tied with colored satin ribbons. The
shepherdess hats were among the
prettiest that have been seen for
many months. Let us hope they
may lead the fashion away from the
extraordinary headgear that has been
adopted of late, crushed and untidy
looking in many cases.

WouIdn,t Stand FooIlehness.

Philadelphia dog used to be sent
by his master every morning with a
penny in his mouth to purchase a bun
for breakfast. He had continued to
do this for some time, when the
baker, having changed his helper, the
dog was unheeded.
The dog thereupon ran to the baker,
laid the penny at his feet and barked
loudly at the assistant
The baker explained matters, but
the assistant, a surly fellow, took IT
in bad part, and next time the dog
appeared he selected a very hot bun
and gave 1t to him.
The animal, as usual, seized the
bun, but finding it too hot to hold,
he dropped it. He tried it again;
again 1t burned him.
At length. as If guessing the trick,
he caught up the penny and ran on
to another bakers shop In the neigh
borhood
No amount of coaxins could ever
get him to return.

DRESSING FOR THE CAMERA
Good Advice on What You Should
Wear When Having Your Pho
toaraph Taken.

A writer in Vogue, telling how to
dress to have ones photograph taken,
says:
AS to dress, all artists demand
simplicity-always simplicity, in or
der that the face may be the theme
of the picture, with dress merely the
accessory, an assistant in the revela-
ton, yet none the less chosen with
great care.
A transparent, filmy gown not
overloaded with trimming, is always
effective. Yet care must be taken
that there shall be something to pro-
vide the right lights. This is best
done with crystal trimming, or it can
be done with satin accessories or silk
embroidery, but not with lace, which
is Of the nature of the transparent
material. The ordinary lingerie
gown is not good, for the reason
that the trimmings are apt to be con-
fusing.
If colored gown is chosen it is
best to have it a monotone, for color
contrasts nearly always jar. They
are apt to prove hard, to make shad-
ows where none should be, and to
interfere with the soft melting of
tones which yields an harmonious
effect. In the monotone gown there
are many lights and shadows all of
one tone, which the camera will take
care of and use with good effect.
Black and white, unless it is a gown
of artistic conception, is extremely
hard to deal with.
Black satin and black velvet, be-
cause of the play of light and shade
on their surfaces, are wonderfully
good in camera production. Young
girls, however, should never choose
them; indeed, a young girl should
never select black of any kind for
her portrait gown, for the camera
makes shadows about her face when
none exist; it creates somber hol-
lows, and hardens soft lines, unac-
countably saddening her face. But
put this same black upon a woman
of middle age, and it will relieve
shadows, tone them down until they
melt out Of sight, and soften and fill
full of lovely light all Of the rest of
the picture.

No Money in Fame.

Upton Sinclair was talking about
the profit that publishers make from
authors.
THE merchant" he said, pays his
statesmen 10 or Is per cent. commits
sion, while the publisher, who is the
authors salesman, pays the author 10
or 10 per cent. keeping the balance
for himself. This seems rather queer.
ut reminds me of n noted authors
definition of fame.
"As this author sat in his humble
cottage. eating a frugal dinner OF
bread and water, an admirer asked:
"How would you define fame, dear
masterY
Fame the author replied, thought
fully regarding a patch on his trouser
knee-'fame is what endears you to
the publishers after you're dead and
all your copyrights have run out.
