Some Of these chintz silks are quite
inexpensive, or comparatively SO.
They are used for coates and ever
for blouses, but they are at their best
when lining picturesque coats or

4O.-The Great Chance

while waiting for the great
chance, do not neglect the re-
gular Chores
So many people are looking
for a big strike,' a great op-
%portunity, a great streak of
luck, that they fail to see in
the daily walks of life many
little chances, the little streaks
of luck, and the little strikes,
which if persistently followed
would lead to greater and more
lasting achievements than the
one great coup.
Michael Angelo observed that
'trifles make perfection and
perfection is no trifle." Success
comes from attention to detail;
thought for little things: doing
little things so we'll that out of
the little things so we'll done is
sure to come one great thing
character.
A great painting is but the
result of many little strokes;
the great statue, many little
chips; the great building many
little bricks put together with
care and precision, with the
end always in mind. While
the artist sees a finished picture
in every stroke, the sculptor a
finished image in every chip,
and the architect a completed
building in every line, each
stroke and each chip and each
line must count or the end will
be a disappointment.
No man jumps into success
at one leap. No great inven-
ton has been a sudden thing.
The Wrights worked on flying
machines for years before they
flew. Henry Ford was a me-
chanic before he was an auto
mobile wizard. He did not
dream a Ford car; he worked
it out. And it took years.
1t is all very we'll to keep your
head up, but watch your steps
or you will stumble. Look out
to see once in a while, but mind
the compass near at hand. Aim
at the moon if you will, but
there's a barn door handy to
practice on. Dream big things,
but try your hand at little ones
first.
The man who wears expen-
sive clothes, a high hat, a dia-
mond as big a ahen's egg and
a watchchain that would do
honor to a battleship may look
prosperous and cut a wide
swath, but if he neglects the
razor, the nail file and the tooth
brush, he can't break into good
society, nor make a good i'm

banker wants consistency-at-
tention to little things.
