First Aids to Beauty

The Desire to Be Smart

For the past few years the most
overworked word in the feminine vo-
cabulary has been smart It is the
one adjective of the milliner, the
dressmaker and the beauty doctor.
Now to be smart there are certain
things you must not do. First, you
must not dress in any relation to
your age. The mother of grown-up
daughters, or even the grandmother
of a debutante who aspires to be
smart must wear low-necked dresses
no matter how thin and scrawny and
mottled her neck and chest may be.
She must affect to want to join in
youthful games and all the new
dances when she is yearning for the
repoSe of an easy chair, says the
Camden Daily Courier.
To be really smart you must be
young, and when you are not young
you must make yourself look go
Then begins a long and costly strug-
gle with nature, and in this fight
nature always win, for there are GER
tain indications which are unmis-
taxable. The little crows feet near
the eyes, the lines about the mouth.
and the coloring of the skin itself
cannot be ignored.
If only some of these aged and
middle-aged women who are strug-
Cling SO hard to enter into competi-
ton with youth could hear them
selves described when the young
folks speak of them as mot a bad
old sort" or "a funny old thing" It
might occur to them that they are
not altogether admired and esteemed
In the way they would wish to be.
One asset that the women who
pose as ever-youthful are lacking in
is that of dignity. To carry authority
and the respect of others is not
lightly to be foregone by anyone.

THE good fairy and the bad

the bad fairy hated the good one,

good fairy didn't want to kill the
bad one. She was too good, you

She just wished and wished that
the bad fairy would go away

THE NATTY SAILOR
FOR GENERAL WEAR

Velvet sailors are just a little
smarter and more popular than the
summer ones were. The new rage is
the wide sailor. although the narrow
ones are still very popular
Merry Widow sailors they are,
and very much like the old-feshioned
ones, except that the head-size space
Is oval, not round, as it used to be.
In those days we were wearing
rats and puffs or coronation braids,
that built out the head on the SIDES
and made the line Of the mead-size
space circular, whereas now we are
smoothing the hair tight to the
scalp.
All the style is in the correct tilt
of this nat. It must be high on the
left side to show the smooth. we'll
dressed hair, and very low on the
right side Of the front.
The highest point is halfway be-
tween the left side and the back, and
the lowest point is just over the right
eye.
This low point, however, ought not
to force the brim to cover the right
eye-and If the head size is adjusted
to hold the hat high enough on the
head it will not.

Conquer Yourself

Keep always uppermost in your
mind the thought that you are going
to succeed. Close your ears to any
voice that tells you differently. No
one ever made a success who was
afraid of failure. Doubt in the heart
weakens energy, and makes effort
lifeless and hopeless. In the majority
of cases it is true that he can who
thinks he can.
Half the battle, and the most i'm
portant half, is within your own
heart. Conquer yourself, and outside
obstacles will seem easy by COM
parison. Most people who fail are
rendered failures, not because of
some difficulty encountered in the
world without, but because Of some
weakness in the world within.

2k yards of 54-inch or 3Ss yards of
44-inch material
The home dressmaker who has had
but very little experience can de-
velop this skirt very successfully.
Using 54-inch goods, first fold it.,
then arrange on the fold the side
gore.
Now fold the material again, MAX
ing q quarter instead of a half fold
as in the first instance, and along
the lengthwise fold place the front
gore, also front yoke. Along the
opposite edge arrange the back gore
and back yoke. If the cloth Is prop
erly folded in quarters the selvages
Will meet.
To make, join the cores, then form
box pleats and gather upper edge
along double TT" perforations.
For the yoke, first undertake side
edge of front. Then turn under lower
edges of yokes on small 20 perfo-
rations, lap front yoke on back,
