All this may sound restrained and
unnatural, but any girl who In her
daily life at home will try to do the
like will soon find how much she is
strengthening her character by her
self control. A most deadly enemy
to the sweetness and beauty OF youth
Is observation-disclosures. The
cultivation Of poise Is strong aid

Shapes of women's mats next fall
will more closely resemble the kind
worn by men than ever before. At
the annual convention of the millinery
statesmen from all over the United
States, held at ST. Louis the early part
OF last week, the statement was made
BY President G. X. Land. of Kansas
City, that the only drawback is the cX.
cessivc quantity OF hair worn by
American women. Mr.. Lind said the
elimination Of hatplus would be
brought about by the wearing OF more
closely hitting bonnets now the style
In Paris.
Millinery statesmen declare that with
the advent OF the automobile the wo-
men in the small towns and tho wives
and daughters of farmers are taking
interest in the hat styles as much as
city women.

"The best way to accumulate money ls
to resolutely save and bank fixed portion
of your income, no matter how small the
amount" Andrew Carnegie.
Man is a gregarious animal. and he is
prone to follow a leader-do what others
do This is the fundamental principle un-
derlying the Christmas and vacation saw
ngs clubs and other similar schemes to
stimulate a community of interest in the
idea of cooperation enters into this plan.
and friendly competition in saving takes
the play of a foolish vying with one an
other in the race of extravaganza.
Many persons are so constituted that
they need to put themselves into the ma
chinery of some such scheme as this which
will force them to save automatically, as
1t were.
Perhaps the best known of these meth
ods is the Christmas Savings club, which
aims to make people begin early in the
year to save money, ostensibly for Christ
mas presents. but really for any purpose
desired.
There are several classes in the Christ
mas Savings club. If you join Glass s.
you pay cents the first week, 10 cents
the second week, 10 cents the third week,
20 cents the fourth, and so on for so weeks.

over 800 banks conducted. Christmas saw
ings clubs in 1872, and the clubs were scat
tered through many states. The Union
Trust company of Harrisburg Pa, dis
tributed $350,0O0 to club members at Christ
mas time.
The working people of England are great
patrons of savings clubs, all sorts of agen-
cies being cerated to enable them to save
money that they may have 1t to spend
during the festive reason of the year.
There are clubs of all kinds, ranging from
the shop club to which the workingmen
contribute, to the little clubs run for the
purpose of letting school children have a
shillings worth of sweets for Christmas
treat. There is hardly workshop of any

are many dividing clubs carried on at pub
lie houses, and the deposits amount In the
aggregate to very large sum. The with
drawals begin in the early days of De-
cember, and 1t is not uncommon for the
banks TO pay out sl460 to $2433 to a single
club.
Working girls in this country have found
the vacation savings fund very helpful.
Miss Anne Morgan daughter of the late
j. Pierpont Morgan. is at the head of the
executive committee of this fund. which
started with the idea of pointing out
wholesome, economical boarding places
for summer outings The next step was to
take care of the savings of the girls
throughout the year, so that the outings
could be had without any slips between
the pay envelope and the two weeks
needed vacation. The work has expanded
so that it now teaches the girls thrift in
other directions.
Similar cooperative effort is manifested
by members of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Useless Giving, the 'Spugs," as
they are popularity called. The idea back
of this organization Is that there is too
much senseless giving at Christmas time.
especially by those who can least afford
it. and that this waste can be prevented
If a united stand is made against the
abuse of Christmas giving.
But, If you are not so situated that You
can join a savings club of any kind, do
not give up the idea of saving. Do 1t on
your own account. Thrift is really a sim
