TT's WHAT YOU ARE TODAY"
Not What People May Have to Say
About You, That Really Draws
Balance of Your Merit.

In little article in the American
Magazine, William Johnston says;
1T is not what people say about
you-it's what you are that counts,
The one person in all this world whom
you should aim to satisfy is your
self. You alone know yourself. Other
people know your outward appearance,
your actions, your deeds, your ambi-
tions, your thought.
Are you satisfied with yourself?
It is your own fault il you are not
Are you satisfied that you are doing
the best you can in your work; that
you are making the most Of your
time? Are you confident that your
conduct toward your family, your
friends, your neighbors, your EN-.
ployer, cannot be improved?
Look yourself straight in the face
this morning, in your minds looking.
glass. Ask yourself whether it is
what people say about you or what
you are that hurts. Analze your own
conduct in all matters.
Put yourself in the other fellows
place and try to see your actions
through his eyes. Imagine that you
are your employer instead of your
self Answer honestly whether if he
knew as much about you as you know
about yourself he would discharge you
or would raise your wages. If you
do this conscientiously there are many
things you will do differently.
Remember this, too Other PEG,
pies opinion of you is based on your
own opinion of yourself. Are you
self-respecting? Other people will re-
spect you. Are you truthful? The
world will believe you. Are you hon
est? Everyone will trust you.
But weigh yourself frequently
Weigh yo.sself carefully. Be certain
that your own opinion of yourself
is justified. Be satisfied with your
SELF"

The season for short evening wraps
is the psychological moment for the
woman who possesses one of the hand
some fringed Chinese crepe shawls to
get it out and have it made into
stunning wrap. The priceless shawl
need not be cut to do this. All that is
necessary is to take loop in one
edge to form a Capuchin hood or sling
drapery, and the shawl will then adj

way. If it is very large shawl, turn
down one edge several inches be-
fore making the sling loop, allowing
the fringe to fall on the outer side
of the wrap, of course. A clasp of
some sort should be set at the front,
high on the left front. the opposite
side of the shawl being lifted to this
fastening in soft, graceful manner.

Time was when the fair autoist con-

vided with its veil.
In the management of lines about
the face there is so much variety that
it is worth while to try on number
