By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Some years ago a tiny millinery shop
was opened in ST. Paul. Mimi, and il
opened with as pretty flourish OF small
trumpets as its woman-proprietor could
possibly bring about.
Because for seven long years she had
worked and planned and saved for the
fulillment Of that business-dream, and
when the time came that she had the
wherewtthal for starting. she put in the
venture practically everything she had.
Time went by; the pretty little shop had
begun TO take on an encouraging air OF
prosperity. and the busy owner at last
persuaded herself that all was well with
her dream of many years.
But one night she was aroused from a
sound sleep by the noisy clang of fire
engines as they clattered by her home.
Something whispered to her that her
little shop was in peril, and .hurrying
into her clothing. she was soon out on
the streets following the crowds headed
straight toward the building that held her
business ALL
With an ominous sinking in her heart
she passively watched the flames wipe
out the treasured fruit of her seven years
work-plans. labor, savings. dreams, and
all gone up in smoke.
Refused to Borrow.
When all was over, there was nothing
to do but to go home and take inventory
of her slender resources. Her handbook
showed a discouragingly modest balance,
and, as she was determined to start anew.
friends advised her to borrow what she
needed and make an impressive showing.
But that was not her way.
She hired a basement room, secured
a stock of goods on consignment, and
by 10 o'clock the next morning had a
little corps of helpers at work on orders
for the approaching springtime.
But there was the question of fur
pishing. When the first months rent
had been paid. she had very few
dollars left which well-meaning friends
assured her was nothing at all, for no
amount of pluck and nerve would count
when it came to buying stands and cur
tains for even a modest millinery shop.
1t simply could not be done. they said.
But she closed her lips with a firm

INTERESTING PAGE FOR WOMAN AND THE HOME Man.
HOW n WOMAN WRESTED
SUCCESS FROM FAILURE

little twist and determinedly went to
work, right sure that she would not
borrow and convinced that that little
basement room could be made to beam.
Customers Did Come.
On the afternoon of the first day after
the disaster, her new furnishings were
at the door-the necessary tables, chairs,
and hat stands, grass rugs. japanese
screens, simple curtain material and
sevreal rolls of crepe paper.
BY o'clock the new shop was fur
nished and its one little door was hung
wide open to all who might come, to
look or to buy. And the customers did
come, attracted first by the unique art
displayed in the basement shop, then
held by the art of its beautiful output.
BY pluck and nerve the woman who
did not know how to quit wrested sue
cess from failure. And as the years
went by the cheap little furnishings
were gradually replaced by more preten-
tious things. antiques pushing aside the
plain tables and stands, and fine hang
ings f1inging out their assurance OF pros
perity where. once the simple little cur
tains sufficed. For the basement shop
had grown into two big establishments
recognized and patronized the city over.
And the seven years dream that fell
all to pieces in a night Of fire was firmly
rebuilt by pluck and nerve.
Character Is What Counts.
And as one heard the story Of the dis
aster and of the rich fruits 1t bore, the
thought was driven home once more that
characteristics count nightly in the
great scheme of life. 1t was not money
that won her fight against pretty heavy
odds; it was not the help or encourage
ment of friends. 1t was pure grit and the
grim determinat ton to take the material
at hand and trust to work for the rest.
And when one sees young boys and
girls grow ing up with no apparent effort
to develop the very characteristics that
might make them shine. one tries to look
into the future and to guess what the
outcome will be. Because II Is mighty
easy to let even the best of natural
go to waste unless they
are fostered bit.
When il happens that seven years
work and saving and planning 60 up in
a cloud of smoke, IT is a right fine thing
to have the pluck and the heart to begin
all over again. And sometimes the pluck
and the heart may be beautifully en-
in childhood.

one of the finest examples of Tudor
architecture in existence. Extending
for $40 feet, along the bank of the
Thames, the Houses of Parliament cover
eight acres. and contain eleven courts.
100 stairways, and LOO apartments.
Within and without they are adorned
with more than 800 statues of sovereigns
Of England. members Of royal and noble
families, and men who have been emf
nent in public life. Three large towers
rise above the main building, the tallest
Victoria Tower. rising to a height of $40
feet. II is through this that the King
enters on the opening and propagation
of Parliament. In the clock tower is
Big Ben. weighing thirteen tons. one of
the largest bells in England. whose
tones can be heard over most of Lon
don.
The interior decorations and furnish
ing Of the Houses of Parliament are
rich to the point of magnificence. The
House of Lords. where the peers Of Eng
land meet contains at one end the splen-
did thone OF the King. with the throne
Of the Prince of Wales at its right, and
that of the Kings consort at the left.
The House OF Commons Is in direct
line with the House of Lords. and has
the speakers chair at the end opposite
to that occupied by the throne in the
latter hall.
On the river side is a broad terrace of
stone, on which the members walk or
sit and drink their tea. By day a flag
on Victoria Tower, and a light by night,
in the clock tower, indicate that Parila-
ment is in session.

by putting the stems in very hot water
and leaving them until the water is cold.
Then snip of the ends of the stems and

is a fact that the flowers straighten up
