BE AN INSPIRATION
To DO So You Have To Cultivate
CHEEKY ManneriSms.
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

wv L all know the citation OF
" spirits that comes when, aft
er long spell of sticky, slop-
py, exhausting weather, a morning
breaks with a jolly northwest wind
blowing the round white clouds across
the shining blue sky, till they look
like fluffy kittens chasing each other
IN play. There is a general grace
and vigor in the atmosphere that will
force even the family pessimist-and
it is a rare family that hasn't one-to
look less glum and sound less grum-
by.
That clear, clean vibrant, healthy
northwest spirit is one we should all
cultivate. The moods and changes
of the weather are nothing less than
variations of the mind of man, and
in studying the one we can get a pref
ty Shrewd notion of the faults and
virtues of the other.
Some people are born northwesters,
and carry the wind of fresh endeavor
and the bracing hope of sunny skies
wherever they go. A half hour in
their society is a tonic, an inspiration
1t does more to clear away the mist
and humidity of the blues than any
amount of doctoring; difficulties
x1raighten out under the simple effect
of their smile and voice-even real
difficulties; and, after all, these are
the least that bother US. Most are
the work of our own fancy, coddled
and humored till they come to COM
mand us.
We cannot control the changes in
the weather, and have to take what
comes willy-nilly, unless we are of
the fortunate few who, in Kipling' 8
words, can chase the spring around
the world and always live in May
a.me. But we ought to train our
selves into some sort of control of
our mental weather, and give the fine,
CHEEKY, courageous quarter of US it's
innings.
If we are ashamed, as we ought to
be, of the sulks and the blues, instead
of rather complacent over what we
call our sensitiveness or loneliness
or dignity or whatnot of the unim-
portant and the trying, not to say
the plain disagreeable. that north
west wind of ours would get lot

NO other accessory to a woman's
~ costume can so add or detract
from a well groomed appearance
as the arrangement of her veil. And
it can add enormously to facial love-
illness as well. Therefore, it should
be given the proper thought and care
not only in the selecting but in the
wearing of it.
The smart woman has resolved this
to fine art. She adjusts it with as
much care as she gives the coiffing of
her hair and the poising OF her hat
She fastens it securely and invisibly.
She draws it together at the nape of
the neck in exactly the right manner
that is to say, neither too tightly
nor too loosely.
She abhors knots and is Mortified
careless woman fastens her veils Nor
will she endure the half curtain eff
feet concealing only the front of
the face and pulled up on the sides of
the hat, nor the veil that dips and
says beneath the chin.
A careful selection of the wells she
wears will repay any woman. And
after choosing those that are most
becoming, if she will give the proper
time and attention to their arrange
ment she will be astonished at the
result. Thus an ugly woman may be
transformed, for the time at least, in
to quite a pretty one if she will profit
by these suggestions. But, after all
is said and done, each week shows
wells going more and more out of
fashion.

HARMONIOUS
CHANGES
BY MRS. McCUNE.

VYOU are busy earning your living
Y and have little time to bestow
on the care of your living place:
little time to pass in it, for that mat
ter So you neglect to make your
surroundings as agreeable as you
might. Your place is not 1.-The right
place" You get along somehow.
fix things up bit, get a new rug or
change the hangings or arrange the
furniture more tremendously, but let
time pass without doing anything
Well, you are making a mistake.
You ought to recognize the impor-
lance in your life of your home, even
though this home be no more than
room in a boarding house. There is
no -,eason why you should not do all
you can to make that room suit you.
Instead of the heavy, ugly hangings
that constantly distress you, you can
put up others that will give you q
sense of pleasure whenever your eye
falls upon them. These need cost but
little. but their color can be good, and
you can hang them SO that they fall
in straight, restful lines. Then you
can get a plain bookcase and a good
lamp, instead of using the awful over
head lights. You can have a COM
Portable chair, : pretty tea table and
small service and you can take the
SLSFeOLypoQ pictures OH the Walls anu
hang up a few of your own. In the
end you will ind yourselT VITA real
little home, instead OF a mere stop
ping place where you were never COM
Portable nor content.
The harder you work the greater
your need for congenial surroundings
in your off time. There is fifty times
the rest per minute to be got in a
room that pieases you than in one
that affronts you. The little murmur
of appreciation your friends will give
will be in itself a stimulus and re-
freshment.
We don't realize sufficiently the re-
storing or firing effect of what we
look upon. Color that soothes in
stead of irritating; lines that do not
weary with a useless fntricary, but
whose flow produces feeling of har-
mony; something particularly lovely
that gives distinct pleasure whenever
the glance falls upon it--aboye all,
that conviction of being, as the
French say. "at yourself"-these are

that If she were as impudently per-
sonal to another girl she would be
dropped for keeps" as the saying is.
They presume with the boys because
they fancy they are of coarse fiber,
whereas, if the impudence comes from
the girl he likes, the boy friend feels
the hurt far more deeply than the
girl. He may go or he may stay, but
missy's sauciness makes him a little
afraid of all the sex. And when he
gets with other boys who have had
about the same experience with this
girl or others, the whole gang sits
upon the failings of the sex, and the
girls get back their own unpleasant
coin in some way or other
In fact l can almost hear the boys
binding themselves with a solemn
vow to go the "snippy" maids one
better in point Ct treatment.
They will never escort them to
dances.
They won't ask them to dance.
They'll give them the grand snub at
picnics.
They'll go across the street to keep
from bowling.
They won't ask them for walks or
visit them.
They'll tell everybody how hateful
they are.
Are not these resolutions appalling
for nice girl who wants to be pop
ular and have the nice time that other
girls have? Yet they are quite pos
sible, and every girl who is aspiring
for social pleasures will run the risk
of the masculine boycott if she does
not treat a boy with the respect ne
deserves.
j have watched a number of Gladys
little tricks an would e to tell of
a few more for the benefit of other
faulty girls. | have noticed that she
does not treat the old friends as nice
ly as she does the new. One night
Bob and Billy, his chum, were visit
ing her when two girls came in. Up
jumps Bib, like the gentleman he is,
to offer his chair; but Billy held on
to lis, too bashful or too stupid to
move. Yet Miss Gladys gave her dose
to the punctilious gentleman.
When one of tie girls refused Bob's
chair the pretty hostess said with a
toss of her head: "Oh, take it; he
likes to think he's politei" Then as
soon as she came to know Bob's chum
better, and discovered that he was
organized with bashfulness when a
new girl appeared, she would giggle
at his sheepish looks and call Bob's
attention to them, maybe, and make
herself generally hateful.

things of actual value and we'll worth
taking time and trouble to procure.
We think a lot about not making
ourselves physically uncomfortable
and would not continue to sit in an
uncomfortable chair or in con-
strained position. But we don't seem
to care q hang very often how much
we weary or insult our eyes, our
feeling for beauty. Yet these are
quite as important to our well being
as the muscles of our body.
The hours, no matter how few they
can be, which you pass in your own
apartment, are extremely important;
are hours that matter immensely
make them as agreeable, as restful, as
inspiring as you can. Do not be sat
listed with hah measures-they new
er got any one anywhere.
Devote all the time anc "a the pains
necessary to securing the very best
place possible, the fright place." as
far as you are concerned. 1t is an
investment thoroughly worth while,
as you'll soon admit-and you'll find
yourself enjoying the thought of 1t
even when you are away.

SNlPPlSH GIRLS
BY EDNA EGAN.

n HAVE just seen my niece Gladys,
aged 16, in mortal wrath with her
best boy friend.
You must have done something"
declared mama, wisely, as the pretty
girl bounced into the room, declaring
that Bob had called her "snippy" and
that she was never going to see him
again, Think of him insulting me
like that" famed Gladys, land then
saying that he didn't want to know
me any more!"
Again mama put IN her oar. What
did Miss Gladys do to Mr.. Bob? After
a moment of hesitation all the de-
tails of the scrap came out.
Gladys had done something; more
over. she was always doing the same
thing. She had Knocked the boy friend
before other girls, given him tart re-
plies for his boy opinions on this and
that subject, even suggested that he
buy another sort of hat. She had
been insolently personal, rude, hate
full. And yet poor. tormented Bob,
who knew what a fine girl she was,
with all her foolishness, had only
called her SIMPLY" And he had
gone off with the only threat any self
respecting boy would utter-he didn't
want to see her any more.
O1 course, IL was Ol1ncu1J 10 get all
of these admissions out of Gladys, but
as she is an honest girl they did come
to light finally.
What am 1 going to do?" she said.
TREMENDOUSLY, at last. for a nice girl
wants to keep her boy friends as well
as her girl intimates.
Write and tell him you are sorry
for your rudeness and will not be
hateful again." said all the grown
ups. every one of whom knew that
Bob was the sort of square, nice,
sensible boy friend girl couldn't at
ford to lose.
Now there are good many Gladyses
in --outhful society only waiting for a
chance to make boy friends feel small
before others and wretched in their
company. These silly, SIMPLY" girls
haven't the least idea they are doing
anything wrong when they guy the
| boy friends opinions or joke about
his clothes or the way he has OF do
ing things. They just behave like
that because they have not found their
