Making Use of Sorrow

Have you ever thought of It, that all
the experiences Of life are yours to use
and do what you like within The sorrow
that makes one person selfish and self
centred and hard, makes another loving,
generous and sympathetic. Everything
that comes our way is rough material,
which must be used to form character.
Joy comes, and the true man or wom-
an welcomes Joy; he rejoices, and uses It,
and in using It grows stronger and
better.
Wealth comes, and he welcomes
wealth, and uses It as trust and in
using II wins true riches.
Sorrow comes, and he welcomes sorrow,
and in using It his sympathies are Wild
ened, and his character is made more
beautiful.
Pain comes; he welcomes pein, ana
uses Il to gain wider sympathy.
And so he goes on, taking life as II
comes; not running to meet Joy and fly
ing from sorrow, but facing each, calmly
and earnestly and using each as a
stepping stone TO higher things.
That Is life. Don't be at the mercy or
every wind that blows, and let 1t do
what II likes with you, but take It, use
II, whatever It is, and appropriate 1t to
yourself and all its strength and good
ness will become part and parcel OF
yourself, that no man or devil shall ever
be able to take from you.

even an enemy can call forth this divine

his opportunity.
The girl has taken of her armor OF

victim for the shafts OF the little archer.
He has found the weak spot In her de-
fenses, and he rejolces.
Right into the heart left unguarded and
open, love enters, and, In the guise of
misfortune, Is allowed to pass. And he
takes care that he does not leave II
again until It's fortress has surrendered.

Increased in the beauty Of their work
manship and setting.
The present styles in coifrure furnish
every excuse for beautiful combs and
ornaments, and the makers Of such things
have been lavish assto the kind and the
quality they have supplied
One of tho favorite combinations of the
season is Jet and brllliants, or rhinestones
or paSte-they shine by whatever name
they are called.
A number OF these new ornaments are
sketched today to show some of tho very
attractive shapes and settings that the
shops are exhibiting.
A bow for the hair in cut Jet and bril-
liants has a very graceful shape and
the square and oblons stones are alter
mated in tho knot and the loops and the
ends very effectively.
Another pin for the hair has a rather
peculiar head. 1t is oval and the stones
are rounded and set obllquely somewhat
above the fiat surface.
The crescent pin, one of the favorite
ornaments to be worn with the French
twist, is a solid mass OF Jet and paste
in a charming design and one especially
becoming to dark hair.

white, where combs are concerned, ia q
comb made of polished black bono and en-
crusted in brilllants in some highly artis-
tic design.
Frosted crystal inlaid with rhinestones
makes a comb OF dazzling whiteness and
one very beautiful for evening wear.
The neckband of black velvet, tied Ia
the back or fastened with a clasp, has all
sorts OF possibilities in the way OF PEN
dants and side ornamentations.
The one illustrated, like all the orna-
ments sketched, is set with Jet and paste.
The earrings are set so that the black
and white stones alternate, and they
swing free from the ear in the way Of
earrings of the long ago
The chain pictured is one OF the very
slender ones of silver that are hardly
noticeable and that seem to retire into
the background and make tho setting SO
much the more conspicuous.
The ornament dangling from the chain
Ia not a pendant, but a watch of very
small and extremely ornamental variety,
now more than ever in vogue
Nowadays watches hang from chains or
else are worn on the wrist. The leather
strap bracelet watch is really servioeable;
the fact that 1t is worn so often by men,
mining engineers and army officers, not
dandles, but hard worlIlngmen, proves
that to be beyond dispute.
But the days when women carried tho
plain gold or silver watch have passed
and the present day Is the day OF the
jeweled trinket.
