 The material employed for its de velOpment is bottle green broad cloth. while the cuffs and collars of the jacket are of gold and green whipcord, Accompanying 1t is :, dainty hat of barnyard straw, trim. med with old gold gros-grain ribbon and wings of the same shade. Sand colored tops are seen upon the black patent leather shoes displayed with this suit

There are lovely new crimpy weaves in these and all the natural tones, which run into the popular biege. castor and sand shades; these silks are considerably exploited. In oyster white, too. the heavy soft creepy tussor is used for exceedingly good looking frocks and suits.

As far as the materials and trimmings are concerned, however, there is no appreciable change
 One of the chief reasons why all women take peculiar interest in trousseaux is because they contain fashions that are especially original. One gets many valuable suggestions from the models designed for the festivities which usually follow the marriage ceremony, hence the go. ing frock. the afternoon cos tune and the dinner gown are all of transcending importance.

The chin Is the mark of human ity. That is 10 say, 1t is found only in the human species. Hence it behooves all of us to make the most of such chin as We have.
 Of course. it is not within our power to mold our chins It Is not even in our mothers power to mold our chins, as they may mold our noses, to some extent. when We are yet plastic, in babyhood Our chins depend on the bony for nation beneath them for their gen eral countour
 It is our privilege to make the most of such chins as We are bless ed with, We should stand with our head erect, thrusting our chins for ward and holding them well up.
 If we have too-prominent chin, we can in a measure take away from it's sharpness by the way we hold it. We should not drop it or let IL sag, but We should not thrust it forward so that it is the most prominent feature of the face
 All of Us have the opportunity of avoiding. even curing the great est detraction from the chin, no matter how beautiful 1t may have been originally-the bagging, fat tened muscles which are called a double chin. Careful diet, exercise and activity are the things that pre- vent the coming of double chin.
 Expert massage and, again, care full diet are the things that cure It. But remember that it is far easier to prevent than to cure and if you have no double chin now cling up to the clean cut line from the point of your chin to your throat with fervor. Don't let it lose itself in folds and rolls of fat, for you will have hard time to find it again

''BIame Not Obstacles for Failure"

So 1t is right and just for you to call the other strong ones 10 your aid and roll the boulde, away or blast it out of the path
 That is exactly the way you should think of the present industrial ron. ditions.
 In spite of them, the strong, well poised, earnest and determined soul can reach any desired success
 But there are boulders in the road which do not belong there-boulde-s which cause hundreds of the pjl. grims who are lame or blind or burdened to fall by the waystde and perish.
 It is your duty to aid in removing these obstacles and in making the road safe and clear thoronehfare for all who journey
 Do not sit down by the roadside and say you have been hinGered by these difficulties-that is to confess yourself weak
 Do not mount over them and rush to your goal and say coldly to the throngs behind you. "Oh, everybody can climb over that rock who really tries-didn't r." That is to announce youself selfish and unsympa:hetic.
 No doubt the lame. the blind nd the burdened could attain the goal despite the rocks if they were fired by consciousness of the divine force within them-that conscious ness that can achieve all things un. der all circumstances
 But there will always be thou sands of pilgrims toiling wearily toward the goal who have not cone to this realization. If there are un. just, unfair and unkind restrictions

placed about them. see to it that you do all in your power to right what is wrong.
 But never wait to attain your own success because of these restrictions or obstacles
 Believe absolutely in your own God given power to overcome any tbing and everything. Think of yourself as performing miracles with Gods aid
 Desire success SO intensely that you attract it as d magnet attracts the steel Help to adjust things as YOU go along, but never for d moment De lieve that the lack of adjustment can cause you to fail

PITCH OF THE AMERICAN VOICE

4 writer on this subject says: Our women's voices are. on the whole. ungentle. that is to say, they are pitched unpleasantly high and hardened by throat contractions into an habitual "Quacky" or metallic quality,
 This ungentleness Is the one at tribute of our women's voices that seems to have attracted most at tention abroad. It Is the most strik- ing American defect Nasality has held that place in popular estima- tion, but true nasality is not very common today in America; it seems to be dying out The 'quacky' qual ity often stimulates nasality, how ever, and is often mistaken for it. It has not yet begun to die out to any great extent Today it affects the utterances of nearly all our cruder girls and women. and of many of our gentlewomen, too. Even those who have given much time to the art of song admit it freely and unknowingly into their speech. It Is hateful tone-mean and pinched-opposed in it's very essence to all that Is generous and winning.
 The needlessly high pitch that commonly goes with 1t is utterly heartless and ungenerous. 'Quacki- ness and shrillness prevail less in the southern states than in the northern and western, but even southern women are not free from it."
 Now why should not American girls and women have as soft, low, wellmodulated voices as the Eng fish? No reason in the world, if We will only take little trouble and remember that a loud. high pitched voice in any other land than our own would plainly denote that its owner was not quite a lady.

WAKING FLOORS.

Old floors can be. waxed quite successfully if little time and care is given over to the work. The floors should first be washed thor oughly and then, when dry, coated with some floor oil, such as linseed oil, This should be at once rub bed with sawdust, which removes all surplus oil and polisbes the floor. After this any wax may be used, according to it's direction, and then. after weighted brush is used the old floors will be as smooth as new oaken ones.
 In polishing furniture remove the dust thoroughly before starting to polish. For the crevices use a small stick covered with cloth, or brush Should there be any ereasiness wash with vinegar and water before polishing. Use very little polish and apply on pad of flannel or soft linen. Be provided with a second duster with which to hold the furn- iture while polishing.

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox. )

(By Ella Wheeler WiIcox.)
 However great the obstacles be tween you and your goal may be Or have been. do not lay the blame of your failure upon them.
 Other people have succeeded in overcoming just as great obstacles.
 Remove such hindrances from the path for others, if you can. or tell them a way to go around. Even lead them little distance and cheer them on.
 But so far as you yourself are concerned do not stop to excuse any delinquency or halfheartedness or defeat by the plea of circum- stances or environment.
 The great nature makes it's own environment and dominates circum- stance.
 It all depends upon the amount of force in your own soul.
 While you apply this rule to your self, and make no scapegoat of fate, you must have consideration for the weakness of others, and you must try and better the conditions of the world as you go along.
 You are robust and possessed of all your limbs. You can mount over the great boulder which has fallen in the road to success. and go on your way to your goal all the strong CT for the experience.
 But behind you comes q onelegged mana blind mana man bowed to the earth with heavy burden which he cannot lay down
 It will require weeks. months, years of effort on their part to :lhnb over that rock which you surmounted in . few hours.

i Some people say that the electric
 wedding anniversary should be the l first one following the legal one. be. cause within that time the welded lacks many small electrical convent enCes. The occasional guest can easily discover if the new menage lacks a portable electric lamp with an adjustable shade, and whether the one to be provided would best be of vase or pedestal shape in nick el. brass. bronze or a glazed compo- sition. Or whether side wall, a desk or piano lamp would be the
 most acceptable. The occasional guest can nearly always learn if there Is an electric clock, cigar lighter, a percolator, coffee urn or chafing dish in the establishment, while only an intimate friend of the housewife can know-but she can tell other people-if the kitchen holds an electric toaSter, small emerg- ency stove or flatiron. Also. whether the parlormaid ever operates an electric suction cleaner, and if an electric hair curler lies on the mistress dressing table or if there
 is an electric shaving light for the masters chiffonier.
 At the electric anniversary dinner the bride wears her wedding gown and a wreath of illuminated flow. CTS instead of her veil. her brides maids carry bouquets interspersed with electric bulbs and the men of the party wear bulb boutonnieres. As many dishes as possible should
 be illuminated. and if the hosts are at all clever at getting up unique effects in favors. an immense amount of fun may be extracted from tho affair.-E1changs.

HOW TO SHAMPOO

 GREEN SOAp
 Before shampooing. comb out all the tangles. The hair will not be nearly so difficult to dry If your scalp is tender do not use a sham poo with ammonia. soda or b0raX in it. They are all irritating to the scalp But if the scalp Is normal any one of these ingredients are eNtCiiflll u lItLht Nat tihit4 iiHiA - They are especially valuable when washing light hair
 While a tincture of green soap rubbed thoroughly into the scalp makes the best preliminary for a shampoo. the pure green soap is diff ficult to secure Be sure when us ing this to add enough water to make a good father. then wash il out with white castle soap.
 IL requires soap to remove soap. Lack of sufficient soap is why your hair is hard and stiff after you have washed it thoroughly Watch the woman who shampoos your hair in a beauty parlor. She plasters 1t down to your head with soap lather. then rubs in more soaps.
