Topics of Interest to Every Woman
EDITED BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI
THE SELE-POISED WOMAN
HAS WONDERFUL CHARM

| charms. but because 1t was so delight
| fully restful to all.
And as the one observer watched and
listened. her mind flew back some years
ago to a woman, who, she thought,
| talked altogether too much about the
| value of self-poise. For she always de-
clared that 1t unconsciously created a
; comfortable atmosphere for everybody
within its influence. in addition to being
| infinitely charming.
When she had lot to say about
folk who nodded their heads. played
with their fingers and uneasily shifted
about, it seemed that 1t was much
ado about nothing" because IL they
were satisfied to be nervous and i'll at
ease, that was their Unfortunate az
fair and need not concern any one else.
But time teaches many things, and time
has made her understand that self-poise
has something more than q personal
value.
And time has taught her that 1t is not
a grace for women alone to cultivate. For
the self f-poised man has a distinct advan-
tage in business and wherever else he
goes.
Did you ever hear two men in earnest
debate, well-matched in everything but
| temperament and that important little
matter Of poise?
You know how II goes-how one grows
wildly excited. with hands raised In vio-
lent gesture, voice pitched away up above
its normal tone, and his whole body nerv-
ously astir. while the other is quite calm,
cool. and collected, never once losing his
head.
Compels One to Listen.
And you know the other difference
how the one makes so great an ado with
his activities that nobody hears or cares
what he says. while the other Is 80 digni-
fed. quiet, and restful that one listens In
spite of himself.
And, whether for the sake OF its charm
or the more practical sake of its restful
effect upon ones self and ones friends,
the grace of self-poise is worth culti-
waiting.
There arc not so many graccs that may
be wooed. even by continued effort. but
time patience. and a lot of painstaking
work will go a long way toward the ell
mination of unsightly gestures. ugly GRIM
aces, and distra citing. di.hguring tricks
that are the products Of ugly habit. that
Is all.

BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

Don't believe all that you read Of the
average advice to women-that would be
fatal advice, indeed, as you probably
know.
But the next time you run across some
wholesome counsel upon the compre-
hensive subject of "poise." pause 1ons
enough to read it well through. then
pause a bit longer to think II over. And
if II does not impress you at all-well.
then. II has either not been as well pre-
sented as 1t might have been. else there
is an inherent lack OF appreciation "
real charm.
Recause-well let me tell you what
happened at little affair the other
evening. And it is only repetition Of
wha. is quite likely to happen anywhere.
Two Types.
Two women caught and held attention,
because both had more or less TO say.
One was very fair to look upon, quite
beautiful in face and physique. and when
she began to talk 1t seemed that nature
had bestowed upon her about all the
gifts it had to bestow. But she had not
talked long before at least one listener
forgot that she was beautiful and grew
unmindful of her grace. Because she
was so full Of airs, SO nervously active
In her manner that 1t made one restless
and i'll at ease. Her hands-very pretty,
white and be-ringed they were-were
raised in frequent gesture; her eyes
flas shed all over the room, and her should
ers were eloouently shrugged in emphasis
OF all that she said. And there was moth
ing quiet and restful about her, not even
her voice.
And then the other began to talk.
She was undeniably plain, not a
trace of beauty anywhere. But her
voice was softly modulated and her
manner was marked with the quiet
charm that comes with perfect control
of self. There were no distracting facial
contortions, no emphatic shakes of the
head. no struggling shoulders, upiifted
eyebrows or needless twists and turns.
Yet her voice rose and fell with pleas
ant rhythm and her movements were
easy and natural. without being pro-
nounced enough that attention centered
right there. She was so well poised. so
serene and quietly impressive that the
very grace of it made others feel dis
posed to go home and study the art.

Ruttonhole Helps.

Many sewers find it difficult to make
buttonhoIes in thin materials. but If this
precaution is taken you will find 1t an
easy matter:
Before cutting the buttonholes haste a
strip OF muslin or lawn beneath the por-
ton where the buttonholes are to be.
Cut the buttonholes through both thick
nesses and buttonhole stitch the edges.
When they are completed cut away the
material underneath close to the button
hole. and the result will be a firm, per-
feet buttonhole.
Rompers for children require a great

braid are substituted. they will serve

HOUSEHOLD SPICE.

A man who teahces his children habits
OF industry. provides for them better
than giving them fortunes.
The best advice is-dont give any.
To pay homage to beauty is TO ad-
mire nature and to admire nature is TO
worship God. Compliment the ladies
every time.
Don't believe in love at first sight: it is
such love that keeps the divorce courts
going.
Fortune knocks at every mans door
once. but the fool is not ready to re-
ceive her and she goes away.
Matrimony is a high sea for which no
compass has yet been invented.
When some men and women marry
their romances cease and their histories
begin.
Luck will never come to her who waits
or depends upon it; diligence is the
mother Of luck.

Ambition does not always insure sue
cess But in the case of the great artist.
Sir Joshua Reynolds, success very nearly
equaled ambition. He believed that by
studying the great paintings Of the world
he could eliminate their faults and unite
their excellencies in his own. That he
stands at the very head OF English art
is proof enough that he was right. Had
he been able to wrest the secret Of mix
ing paints from the great masters Of
the past. he would have stood side by
side with them to-day.

When johnson heard this, he exclaimed
Indignantly: "Sir Joshua, sir, would as
soon get me to paint for him as to write
for him."
Reynolds. the man. was little too de-
tached from his fellow-men to be loved
greatly. His was not a nature to inspire
or feel any great warmth OF personal
feeling. :
The sight of the great artist began to
fail in I7s9 He sank gradually until the
beginning Of 1872, and on the twenty
third of February he passed quietly
away.
Reynolds great portrait of Mrs. Sarah
Siddons as THE Tragic Muse" is one of
the most famous of his pictures. Mrs.
Siddons was one of the greatest actresses
that ever trod the English stage. Her
best part was Lady Macbeth: but she
also played Desdemona. Rosalind. and
Ophelia with great success. Rachel, her
great rival. excelled her in intensity and
the portrayal of fierce passion: but the
dignity and pathos OF Mrs. Siddons
proved her the more finished artist.
DR.. johnson wrote his name on the
hem Of her dress in Reynolds famous
picture.
IT would not lose" he said, "the honor
this opportunity afforded to me for my
name going down in posterity on the
hem Of your garment"
Reynolds was Justly celebrated for his
portraits. He seems to have seen right
into the heart and brains OF his subjects.
He strove to show character. and to be a
good subject for Reynolds brush the sit
ter must have character. be it good or
bad.
Sir Joshua's brush brought him great
financial success also. He left property
when he died to the value of $4,000 and
works of art that sold for $4,000 When
to this is added enduring Immortality.
II may be seen that sometimes great
ambition is attended by great success.

FLOWERS IMPORTANT
TRIMMING FOR GOWNS
Silk, Velvet or Satin Has Replaced
Artificial Blossoms-How
to Form Petals.

The most important trimming for gowns
at present is flowers made of silk. velvet
or satin. Small bits of these materials
are folded. twisted and rolled into shapes
resembling leaves and blossoms. These
are used in preference TO the artificial
flowers with their tinted petals repro
ducing the natural flower.
Chiffon, fine nets and gauzes are also
utilized to fashion flowers, not forgetting
the roses which are crocheted from coli
ored woods. When making flowers con-
slider the material to be trimmed before
selecting that for fashioning the flowers.
For evening frocks of lace, chiffon. silk.
or silk mulls, roses of silk or chiffon are
in good taste.
Bands of these miniature flowers make
effective trimming for the neck and hem
of these frocks. If purchased at the shops
this variety of trimming will prove very
expensive, but when made at home they
cost little besides the time expended upon
the fashioninG. Purchase light green
cord to answer for the vine foundation or
narrow green ribbon IL preferred. For
the chiffon roses take a strip twelve
inches long, and one and one-hah inches
wide Fold this lengthwise through the
center, and starting at one end, roll II
loosely round and round itself. When II
is all rolled up, wind the end with the
raw edges with sewing cotton. Small
pieces of green silk are shaped to repre-
sent leaves by folding and tacking the
corners in place, and these are arranged
with the roses at equal intervals alonS
the strip of stem.
The Washington herald., 1913-03-11
Clusters and Wreaths.

The roses and leaves can also be ar
ranged in clusters, wreaths. festoons or
in compact little bouquets to catch up
draperies or flounces. From tiny roses
of silk or satin buckles. pins and other
ornaments are made. To fashion bar
pin, take a piece of flexible wire tape
two or two and one-half inches in length
and cover it with green silk Select the
color you desire the roses to be and al
low four inches of half-inch ribbon for
each rose. Fold it lengthwise through
the center and roll into a compact little
rose, the selvages at the bottom. For
each leaf take one inch Of green ribbon.
Attach these to the bar and place a
safety pin to the under side. To form
a buckle for a Girdle, cut foundation
from buckram and cover with green rib
bon. Make enough tiny roses to have
double row down the center and border
either side with leaves.
This makes an effective trimming for
the evening gown. especially II the roses
are fashioned of a contrasting color.
Sash ends are attractive when trimmed
with a double border or fringe made OF
these tiny silk or satin roses. Larger
flowers are made by first forming GEN.
ter of cotton over which the silk, satin,
or chiffon is rolled.
The Washington herald., 1913-03-11
How Petals Are Formed.

Petals are then formed by folding the
material and cutting a piece two inches
square. Fold the two upper corners over
and tack them in place. Run a draw
string through the lower portion Of the
petal and attach it to the center. When
the required number of petals have been
tackled to the flower. form a calyx of
green silk and attach it to a stem OF
thin wire covered with green silk. Using
strong thread, sew the finished rose to
this and supply the stem with foliage
made of silk or purchased at the mil
liners. Buds are fashioned by using
folds of silk and shaping them to repre-
sent the natural flower.
A pretty bow can be made of one-half
yard of velvet ribbon one-half inch in
width. A fat bow is formed of two three
inch loops and two ends OF the same
length are tackled through the center,
and from this is-> hung a loop and two
ends. Three small roses and leaves are
sewed to the center Of the bow. Make
the roses from bias strips of soft silk
four inches long and one inch wide, fold
ed lengthwise through the center and
rolled to form the rose. Attach a rose
10 each of the ends hanging from the
bow. When selecting the colors take
particular care to have the tones harmon
ize. Straw-colored velvet ribbon with the
three roses of yellow, pink. and lavender
silk. respectively. is delightful combi-
nation of colors.
These articles Of roses make lovely
gifts for almost any occasion, and you
will find II fascinating work It requires
little time and materials can be frequent
ly picked from the scrap bag.
