THR GOLDEN coLLR.

Once upon a time the king of a cer- tain country said he would give a gold collar to the dog that could show that he deserved the prize.
 Of course every dog thought he de- served the golden collar. The king and tell why they thought they should have the prize:
 The king sat on his golden throne and as each dog passed they told him what they. had done to win his favor. First came a little French poodle with soft white hair. He said to the king: T think. I ought to have the collar because a great many times, when my mistress would wash and I dtdn't''
 We'll said the king, 1T can see readily how you felt, and I will think about the natter
 The next was daschunde and he was quite tinnid, for as he said, he was new 1 in this country and didn't know the ways, but a. dog from another the collar. Just then aNbig dog step ped up and said: q am sure you will think I deserve the collar for I am a good watch dog and have bitten a great many people and taken care of my master.''
 That is very good and it is possible that you will wfn,', said the king.
 Then a big shaggy dog came in and said: T don't think I have done any thing to. deserve a golden collar, in fact I have never worn a collar, as my mistress says, I don't need one for I am never tied up. If had been I could not have run and pulled Master Charles out of the deep stream and he would have been drowneds'

THE FAsE1ONABIE SKIRT.

This graceful skirt Is the raging mode of the moment. It shows the Russian tunic and is cut in two pieces. which makes it easy of construction.
 To make. the design requires 61b yards 36-inch material or H yards~ of A4-inch or 3 E yards 54-inch goods. If upper part of back gore is made of lin- ing. E yard less material will be needed.
 An open width Of s6-inch material must be used to cut the tunic (D1. and on this may also be laid the inserted pleated section co. The back gore (B) and front gore (A1 of the founda- ton are cut from the folded material, these parts being laid on the length wise fold.
 In making the skirt first slash front gore to- the left of center front on dou- ble ''or perforations for opening.

Youth time is planning time. the season Of golden day dreams, ardent hopes and unbuffeted ambition If ev-. cry young woman had her way. her. future would be all radiant sunshine, without cloud to overshadow it. world. accomp fishing her share Of good Love the happiness and con tent it brings, would crown her ef- forts.
 This is the way the average girl would have it. But when her hopes drift wide of the mark. her best in tenttons are misunderstood and her valiant efforts meet with defeat. she finds the road of life is not as smooth : Iy diusted to our feet as we would will 1t. The asphaIted paths. bor- dered with roses. are for the few.
 There are some young girls who are so stunned by the first defeat that they cover back. too fearful to make another attempt There are other women lGod bless them ) who defy the fates that would crush them. They battle against all odds. succeed- ing through sheer force of determina- tion They know when one door ia closed against them, another will be opened. They realize that into each life some rain must fall; that it is by defeat they can gauge their strength. It takes the darknes of night to bring out the glorious light of the stars
 Tie girl who takes for a motto. If at first you don't succeed, try. try again. is above the petty jealousies of those who would make of their deeds against her lassoos to fasten about her and draw her from the height which she has gained to Hheir level The stirring ambitious girl is sure to have enemies There could be no greater proof of her ability. The general who has fought and won no battle is not. feared The girl who plans her life out and strives to reach the goal must be immune against heartaches The greater her achieve ments the more faults her interiors will find in her. It has been said, and with much truth: ssIt is folly for an i eminent woman to think of escaping censure. It is a weakness to be af- fected by it. All ii1ustrious persons Of every age in the world have passed through this fiery persecution.'
 Young girls who would amount to anything must expect thorns will be encountered when they reach for the roses They should emulate the ex- ample of Davy Crockett. who said, with homely pathos. but a world Of eloquent Judgment, Be sure you're right then go a14ead.'' Women who have made the. most of their lives have encountered many trials.
