IN THE CASE Of MENTAL F0G
Many Causes Is to Be Fought
of as Dire Enemy.

We all of us have days when ne tn
ing seems to go right.
You have a feeling of utter degrees
sion come over you.
Not because there is anything par
ticularly the matter, but you're dis
satisfied
So you sit in a desolate hump and
wonder what's the good of anything
especially yourself, and the little
petty details Of your life.
"Of what use am l after all?" you
say to yourself.
A kind OF mental fog has taken hold
of you and you are sitting in mist,
so to speak
Well, do you know what is the very
best thing in the world for you TO
do?
Get out Of it quickly
Remind yourself that every one has
these horrid moods, but every one can
master them if they will only set to
work the right way.
One of the best ways to cure your
self when you feel cross, or miserable,
or discouraged is to 60 and do some
thing for somebody else.
Never yield to mood of idleness or
fear, of depression or worry; the more
you think about these things the worse
they become.
Start doing some work that will
employ all your physical energies and
TO ind "a
in hand
If it's only making beds, make UP
your mind to do it with all your might
Of course, if you can go out for a.
good walk you have a sovereign cure
and a good many girls who go to the
city would be better in health and spir
its if they walked at least a part of
the way to and from their Offices.
Depression is very often caused By
Ill health, and it's quite certain that ii
you continue in mood of depression
for any length of time you need visit
to the doctor.
In most cases depression is an i'll
just like neuralgia or headache.
And if you find yourself getting blue
sometimes, don't make too much Of
f., don't agonize about your nerves
and SO on.
Give yourself, if you car, some lit,
tie extra pleasure; take d girl friend
out to tea; go and see play.
Never mind whether You feel in,
clined or not, once you are there you
will enjoy yourself thoroughly and go
home feeling ever so much brighter
and better for the little change OF
scene and thought
Anyway, when here are so many
nice things in the world, make up your
mind that you won't lose any of the op-
portunities to help others and be hap
py by dwelling in mental gloom

Lost-One Powder Magazine.

prefect of police, was passing along a
corridor in the prefecture, when he no.

What are you doing there?" asked M
HenniOn, in tone that effectually
wakened this subordinate. "Guarding
the powder magazine" was the an
swer. And where is the powder maya
zine that you are guarding so jealous
y?" was the projects next question.
The policeman had to confess that
1e didn't know. M. Hennion organized
4 search, not with candles, one may be
sure, for the elusive magazine. 1t was
aowhere to be found. Finally, the old

thing OF a wag, walked into one Of the
public Offices in Cincinnati the other

that he was wearing pair of new

repaired
One OF the clerks remarked aboul
the shoes, and the German said:

Touch Of Fur.

Plain chiffon velvet, If it can hardly
be said to lend itself 80 well to the
frock for the specially glittering So
cial function, is charming at theater
or restaurant dinners, where a hat Is
used to complete it. From the point
of view of fashion, and certainly Of
elegance as we'll, it is best when
completed with a touch of fur, the
beautiful shade of yellow with dash
of mustard, which is 80 fashionable
just now, being immensely enhanced
with the addition of dark skunk, while
there Is q pale orchid mauve which
Is equally effective with chinchilla or
smoked fox. Some women vary this
in a more striking fashion with a
touch of "civette" on black or bright
green velvet.
