RETURN TO THE FooTsTooL
Woman's Vanity, or Love Of Comfort,
Has Brought Back Style So Popu'
lar Some Years Ago.

What Is It, a desire for comfort or
woman's vanity. that accounts for the
increasing popularity Of the fOotstool?
certainly we are comfort loving peo-
pie; formality and stiffness repel us.
Certainly, too, the dainty footgear OF
wOmankind seeks a means to show
itself, and where can this be so well
accomplished as on one of these foot
stools, which are in themselves works
of art? At all events these luxurious
necessities of our grandmothers have
apparently come back to stay.
Footstools always have been made
in the various French periods Of furni-
ture. for France is the home OF the
modern fOotstoOl, and no room furn.
ished In any of the historic French
styles would be complete without &C.
companying foOtstoOl. But within the
last year or so footstools have been
demanded for use with every sort OF
furniture and today the best dealers
meet this demand with q bewildering
| assortment.
One of the most servlceable foot
stools Is shown with q mahogany
frame In straight, simple lines, with
red, brown or green leather cushion
Tapestry In various dull hues and up
holstery of other sorts Of color thai
would blend with the color scheme Of
almost any living room are also uset
to cover the cushions Of these usefu
fOOtstOOls.

LONG SHOULDER A feature
Distinctive Mark Of the New s!ouses
-Robespierre Collar Also Much
In Evidence.

The long shoulder is one of the fea.
lures of the new blouse. 1t extends
well below the shoulder, about one
third the distance to the elbow, and
there it is attached to the sleeves by
a fiat double seam.
Shirtwaist sleeves are long, many
with a frill falling over the hand.
The odd sleeve is seen in few OF
the lingerie blouses, the body being a
plain white wolfe, the sleeve having
small embroidered designs.
The Robespierre collar is seen In
various forms, but Is more suited to
the everyday bluose than to a more
formal gown. 1t makes satisfactory
finish for blouses that open in front.
especially for wearers who desire q
feeling Of freedom at the neck.

You Won t Lose By It.

1t is exactly so in every other
department If you make your
employer do half your thinking
for you, you only earn half your
money.
Your life may seem a hard one.
and his easy; yet you will never
make your lot better by shifting
the duties he pays you to do upon
his shoulders.
Even if you are working for an
unappreciative employer, you are
not losing anything by doing all
your duty. mentally and physical
ly; you are building your own
character, and that will lead to
better positions for you by and
by.
Think about whatever you are
doing, and if you are merely sent
upon an errand, let nothing pre-
vent your accomplishing It short
Of an earthquake or a tidal wave.
And every morning of your life
say a little prayer of gratitude to
the Invisible Powers for giving
you something to do. No matter
how distasteful the work, how in
ferior to the employment Of your
imagination, be thankful for it;
and know by this sense of graft
tude that you are preparing your
mental ground for better things.

GONE

STHlS a word all men must hear
When they stand beside a bier
That contains a lily stem
Der a form once dear to them.
Gone, dream that was too sweet;
Gone. soul to seek the Seat:
Gone, a smile that tripled m1rth;
Gone forevermore from earth:
King or beggar, prince or pawn,
Gone.
'Tis word with meaning fraught,
Giving birth to somber thought
Gone, friend through anger lost;
Gone, a chance you spurned and tossed;
Gone, some high ideal you priced,
Some belief you idolized
Gone, your childhood with its truth;
Gone, alas! your golden youth.

do with all your mind and force
and energy.
Do not despise your occupation
and wish you had a higher call
ing, and rush through what you
are doing in a slipshod manner,
nor shift It upon other shoulders.
If you are a clerk, or a house
maid, or secretary, or a cook,
or a stenographer, or a governess,
or a man or woman Of all work,
find out IN the beginning what
your duties are to be, and get at
them without bothering anybody.
Consider your duties the i'm
portant ones Of the world until
you have them accomplished.
No matter if you are a boot
black or a floor scrubber. go about
the shoes and the floor in dead
earnest.
Do not ask anybody to find your
shoe brush or your floor mop for
you-find it for yourself. DO your
own work, do It well, and II you
have ambitions for higher en-
ployment, expect it. It will never
come to you if you half do what
you are now attempting.
Try to be broad minded enough
to realize that those who employ
you need your efficient aid, and
that unless you can take all men
tai anxiety about your work from
them you are only half earning
your salary or wages. and are
guilty of a species Of dishonesty
when you take your pay in full.
If you are paid for carrying
mortar up a ladder and your en-
ployer has to go along behind you
each trip to see that you carry it,
you should share your wages with
