Where there's watermelon pickle,
Where there's evrything to tickle
Any palate in the land,

Honest folks who amt above you,

Summer frocks arc Of transcendent
interest just now. White net is used
for lingerie dresses this season. The
washable white net is selected and
when the pretty frock is soiled it may
be sent to the laundress along with
white dimity and lawn costumes.
These white net dresses. are rather

sleeves. Snap-fastners close such a
frock invisibly, and usually there is

with handsome sash, tinted pussy
willow lining ard dainty slippers-at &
very formal evening affair in summer.

speech, so If you cannot praise, be
silent If you arc forced to utter an
opinion about a person you dislike,
pick out the one point you find to ad-
mire in that person and mention that
Unfortunately, it is all too seldom
that the real hypocrite recognizes
herself in her true nature. She usually
garbs herself in a cloak OF self
righteousness, covering her inward
self with a mask ofs disSimulation
Her better -than-thou" attitude
succeeds in deceiving most of the
world, including herself as well. This
pharisaism is one Of the commonest
characteristics Of the hypocrite. 1t Is
better TO be blunt and outspoken than
to be hypocritical. The hypocrite
may make more friends, but the frank
person knows her friends are true,
You want your friends to like you for
what you are-not for what you are
not, but pretend to be.
