CULTIVATE HABIT OF GRATITUDE
By ELLA WHEELER ILCOX

Tor these blessings.

The Lords of Karma VINO stand
guard over our lives are pleased with
our gratitude. They are the High
/ Ofiicials sent out by the Mighty One
to lead us into the paths most neces-
sary for our best development
Whe nwe give praise for anything
life has bestowed upon us, these Lords
OF karnla know we are gaining in wis
dom and worth, and they are ready to
.oifer us greater opportunities
But to the ungrateful and COM
planning soul they send trouble and
pain, until it learns its lesson of graft
tude for every ray of light which falls
upon it.
Gratitude must not be confounded
with self-satisfaction.
The self-satisiied soul obstructs the
path of its own progress.
There is healthful discomfort
which means growth, and this, too
pleases the great Lords of Karma.
When we have finished our
prayer of gratitude for the blessings
and the opportunities of life it is well
to begin a brief analysis and to lay
bare to our higher perceptions the
weaknesses and faults which have pre-
vented our best achievements.
Have l been indolent? Have I
postponed my duties? Have l done
careless work? Have 1 lacked in
promptness and dispatch? Have I
been too well satisfied with myself
and my methods? Have l been too
selt-centred and shown too little ap-
probation of others? Have | allowed
unworthy sentiments and emotions?

Small Women, Is and IS years.

BORDERED MATERIAL, ELBOW OR LONG
SLEEVES.
This simple shirred blouse is a pro-
nounced favorite of the season and very
charming it is for small women as we'll
as for young girls. 1t is essentially smart
in its lines yet it is the simplest thing in
the world to make. There are only two
seams to be sewed In the illustration, it
is made of fowered crepe and the edges
are turned under to form headings but,
since the inner edges are straight, founcing
and bordered material can be used with
success and, in such case, the edge of the
material makes its own finish. Shadow
lace founcing which is greatly in demand
would be charming with the inner edges
left untouched and the sleeve edges turned
under and finished with hem-stitching on
the lines of the frills.
For the I6 year size, the blouse will
require 2T yds. of material 27, 36 or A
In. wide or as yds. Of bordered material
27 in. wide.

Less still achieves the one who is
blind to his blessings, and who gives
no thanks for the opportunity which
lie at every mans door.
The first thought of the waking

However shadowed life may be,
