A thing of beauty always is JOY,
there is no questioning Of that! But
beauty's travesty is far from pleasing.
Yet on the streets and in the cars and
all around we see It constantly. The
Painted Girl has come-apparently to
stayl OF course, in a general way, she
always was with us-yet never quite so
prominent as nowl I wonder why?
On walking along the streets, one
sometimes think the demi-monde of Paris
has come here in fullest force! In Paris,
one can always place" the occupation
and the social r -!tion of young woman
by merely glancing at her. Here 1t is
different
Crowding the early morning trolley cars
one sees the Painted Girl set forth to
her days work. The rouge is often very,
very ceable-also the lip-salve and
the eyebrow penciling. Yet beauty does
not seem to be her ultimate aim, because
her style of dress in its extremity de-
feats that end. To be I'm fashion is
the goal of all the painting and the
penciling.
Is the Painted Girl really so very at
tractive after all? Has modesty become
its own reward? The solving of these
problems rests more or less with the
young men.
couple were discussing this question
the other day, with raised and rather
angry voices, too. They were obviously
brother and sister, and the battle-ground
they chose was most unfortunate-right
in n trolley car!
Gee, Mary, you do look sight! |

Across the Counter

Subway shopping quite easily becomes
a habit one ventures somewhat skeptic-
ally the first time with the uneasy fear
that one will be tempted TO purchase
something for very little money that will
prove to be worth nothing at all
But in the subway one often finds odd
sizes of what was once regular stock at
a much lower figure than they COM
manded before their descent in the world.
Subway shopping brings 10 light just
now Balmacaan coats that are selling at
prices than range from $3.50 to $40
The weather-proof material i'm mixed
grays and browns is fashioned into coats
of loosely fitting style, with wide collars
fastened close TO the throat
Serge coats OF navy blue or black

aetly ike a mans cost s575.
The same style silk lined throughout
Is priced at $50.
There are occasional sample coats of
really remarkable value.
a few coats of the new fur cloth can
be found for $40 and $3.50 under this
head.
Goats, similar in style and cut but
made of astrakhan and zibelne, can be
bought for the same amounts
In the matter of suits the subways of
stores bear investigation.
The tailored suit OF simple cut that is
in demand again for everyday purposes
can be found here al good values.
A coat ana skirt Of serge In blue and
black Is sold for 1880
The skirt fastens at the side under a
plait and has a beltedBbaCk. The coat
has something OF a fare, with indyid-

and buttons
Suits made in basque style made of
poplin. cheyiot and dagonals, cost only
SO
AS a rule. what IS found in the sub
way store has already figured in regu-
lar department. The newest things and
the oddities should not be looked for
But what might be called conventional
STYLES are exploited and often they are
honest bargains.

Winning Admiration

Any girl who desires to do so. can, with
very little trouble, acquire the qualities
that compel the admiration of every
man.
The first of these is unselishness. Ar.
you selfish and overanxious about yo,r
own concerns? If you are, alter your
standpoint. And If you do this you will
soon come to feel n keen interest in tbs
struggles and pleasures of your young
men acquaintance. Next to this, neat.
ness and extraordinary tidness always
win a mans admiration.

If your teeth should be what is called
naturally brown" try a little lemon
juice applied with a soft cloth. Rinse
the mouth thoroughly afterward, and do
not use too frequently,
Brush your teeth after every meal Use
the up-and- down stroke in preference to
the ordinary way. In the morning rinse
the mouth, after washing, with a glass
full of water TO which you have added a
few drops Of tincture Of myrrh.
Lastly, and most emphatically, have
your teeth examined every three or four
months This does away with all the
pain of assessing and the other evils.
Preventive dentistry is by far the most
sensible.

Worth Remembering

The clever girl who wishes to attract
a man knows that glance can convey
more admiration than volume of words.
She does not write letters which she
has TO ask to be destroyed after they
are read,
She knows that haughtiness, dIsdain
and condescension are but other words
for common everyday usef
She never expects her husband to be
in good temper when paying house
keeping bills.
She is always bright and hopeful and
never oppresses her friends BY pouring
out her troubles to them
She is not too conading IN her friends,
but tells her husband or her sweetheart
everything they ought 10 know.
She does not imagine that everyone
should show consideration for her feel
ings at all times

On Growing Mushrooms

Mushroom growing may he looked at
in two ways, as a pleasant fad or as a
profitable occupation, Even as a pas
time, with a philosophical disregard of
the results, it is full Of interest, with the
possibility OF its becoming a hobby on
which to ride away from the humdrum
of daily routine
Mushrooms can he grown In cellars,
greenhouses, sheds and i'm beds prepared
out OF doors There Is no very great ex-
pense attached to making a bed IN any
one Of these places, but as each one must
be prepared in different manner. II is
wise TO secure one Of the little pamphlets
on mushroom growing, given away by
any OF the seed houses, before making
the attempt
SELECTION OF THE SPAWN.
Then comes the selection OF the spawn.
There are many varieties. English and
American, some of the latter originating
In this State. There are slight differences
I'm the size and possibly, to the epicure,
in the flavor. But whatever selection is
made, it should be noted whether the
spawn is intended for October planting
or for April. Disaster would surely re-
suit in a mistake here,
The people who like mushrooms Ike
them very much. indeed and 10 have
ones own mushroom bed is a luxury
worth a little trouble. II is worth a trial
certainly. There are many people In the
world who hnd that time hangs heavy
on their hands to whom the details Of
preparing the bed. spawning it and water
ing 1t would be an actual delight once
they got into II. And the pleasure doesn't
come TO an end with the first crop Of
mushrooms. You can pick them all one
morning water the bed. and the next
morning II is dotted again with the little
pink buds that have sprung up over
night.

Gems of Thought

There are souls in the world who havs
the gift of finding joy everywhere, and
of leaving 1t behind them when they 90.
JOY gushes from under their fingers, like
jets OF light. Their influence is an in.
eVltable gladdening of the heart. Ara
YOU one of these?
Gods way is the best way Whether
II is long or short, smooth or difficult We
nave no reason to become discouraged.
You'll nd whene'er YOU roam.
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.
But every house where Love abides
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest"

Princess Slip

This quite indispensable garment follows
the prevailing mode in being cut with a
V-opening at the neck and in having no
superfiuous fulness in the skirt. The yoke
is of piece embroidery and is finished at
neck and armholcs with tiny fTilling of
lace. 4 rather broad ribbon should be
run through insertion, finishing the yoke
and deep frll on skirt. The frill is merely
easod on and not arranged like a fiounce
and the darts a waist give just the neces-
sary slim effect that Is imperative at the
present time.
