Controlling Your Life

more berries and asking the other some question which sent the con- yersation into pleasanter channels. The Art of Taking the Sting Out
 of Annoyances.
 I had always admired that wom- an, but I admired her more at that moment than ever before.
 For she showed that she was past mistress of the great art of taking the sting out of the minor annoy ances of life by not permitting them to upset ones boise.
 There are so many things that one can fuss about if one wants to fuss! -
 At a boarding house where I once lived the hostess did not dare shift certain of the guests from their places at the table. no matter what the exigencies of the occasion. They'd fuss sol" she said. Such a little thing Think of fussing over 1t!
 Don't Forget inc Funny side,
 Either. Q"
 Most of the little annoyances and accidents and upsets and disappoint- ments of daily life have their funny side. . Get the habit Of seeing ii and you won't be so inclined to-, fuss. Say, "I will be serene" Laugh, if you can possibly find anything to laugh at, remedy the evil if there is anything to remedy. but through it all keep yoIr poise. Remember fussing will not change or help mat. ters a particle, and it will tire yoa and everyone asound you. You can't control events. but you can control your attitude d mind toward them. And he who does it is surely great CT than he that taketh a city,"

He caught up his hat and dashed to the front door.
 Quick, Madge!" he called. Follow her out the kitchen door as fast as you can. I'll meet you at the serv. ants entrance! I wouldn't let her get away for hundred dollars!"
 l obeyed Dicky's instructions, but with a feeling of disgust creeping over me. I have always hated a scene, and this performance savored too much of moving picture melodrama to suit me.
 I hurried down the two flights of stairs and on toward the servants entrance. I was about there when Katie came flying back, almost into my arms.
 "Oh! Misses Graham" she moaned. 'You kind lady. l pay it all back. always have it with me. Don't let him put me in prison. I work, work my fingers to the bone for you. If you only not let him put me in prison"
 'Hc May Come"
 Dicky came up behind us. As she saw him she shrank closer to me in a pitiful frightened way, and put out both her hands as if to push him away.
 Don't be frightened, Katie" he said. Come to the house and tell me about it.''
 Bring her into the living room and get her quieted before I talk to her." suggested Dicky, as he disappeared into his room after we had got her upstairs.
 Bewildered and displeased at. this bazarre situation which had been thrust upon me, I ushered Katie into the living room and removed her hat and coat. She still trembled violently.
 went to the dining room and from decanter on the sideboard poured glass of wine, and bringing it back, pressed it to her lips. She drank it, and the color gradually came back to her face, and the twitching of her muscles lessened.
 When she was calmer I took her hands in mine, and looking her full in the face in the manner which I had sometimes used to quiet a hys- terical pupil I said slowly:
 Listen to me, Katie. You are not going to be put in prison. MT. Gra- ham will not harm you in the least. But he wishes to talk to you, and you must listen to what he has to say"
 Her answer was to siege my hand and cover it with fearful kisses, detest an exhibition of emotion, and this girls utter abandonment to what ever grief or terror was hers irritated me. But tried not to show my feel said: ...s...
 Come Katie. You must stop this, and listen to MT. Graham"
 Katie obediently wiped her eyes, and sat up very straight.
 "I all right now" she said quaver- ingly. He can come. I tell him everything"

POLL PLAYERS IN
 THE SHEPHERD KlNG'

One of the greatest attractions ever attempted by a stock company is be- ing shown this week at the Poll +beater by the Poli Players, who' in .orbe shepherd King" demonstrate their ability in handling very difficult nroduction. "The Shepherd King" is a high achievement in playwriting and stageraft No detail mas been over looked and nothing left undone to make the piece big local success. The play is Wright Lorimer's great Biblical drama and portrays the life of the Israelites in their days of pow CT. The play opens on sunny helds and hillsides, the home of Jesse, father of David. A wonderful pastoral scene is shown, a picture in vivid colorings, softened here and there by o11ieter hues and mellower Sem1tones. One sees the boy David, in the fields with his f1ocks, and the brothers as they come and go on their rustic labors. Later David, grown to man. hood. is shown in his kingly robes and power, the master of willing people. "The Shepherd King" has held a position at the very pinnacle among gorgeous, faithfully reproduced Bibli- cal plays. It will be presented twice daily the balance of the week.

The things that happen to us and the way we take them, these two fac tors make up the whole life. The things that happen to us we can only partially control; the way we take them we can entirely control. And yet, while most people struggle and plan and contrive all their lives long to control the things that happen to them, comparatively few set them selves to control the way tl,ey tBSe these things.
 I am speaking not only of the big things that happen now and then, but of the little things that happen every day and hour and minute.
 When the Child Upsets the Milk.
 At a dinner table in a certain house where I once stayed, one of the children upset a cup of milk.
 The father, a man of nervous. ir- ritable habits, at once began to fuss. Look at that milk, all over the table-cloth and the floor! It will ruin the carpet! Look out or it will get on your dress, aMrgaret! Can't you be less awkward ?.'-to the em- barrassed child. There it goes on- to that chair!'
 During this tirade the mother had swiftly but quietly righted the cup, mopped up the milk, laid napkin over the soiled spot tnd soothed the child. who was ready to burst into tears, all without any appearance of hurry, any show of nervousness or irritability. Having done all that could be done, she slid into her seat assured her anxious husband that the spot could easily be removed from the carpet, and closed the in- cident by offering one guest some

REVELATIONS0F A WIFE

Katie and Dicky Have Met Before All right Katie" I said, delighted that she was so thoughtful about marketing problems and interested enough to go to the trouble of mar keting herself, i've will go together. I will show you where the shops are, then you can go by yourself other days. I need the air anyway"
 That will be so nice," Katie beam ed at me.
 Thank you Katie" I replied. "I will be ready in moment"
 put on my hat and coat and Katie and I walked to the shops where I traded. I saw at once that she was a shrewd buyer. She saw faults where I would not have dreamed they exist ed, and haggled over prices in a way that made me blush, even though l knew that she was doing it in my interest.
 ''These people they charge you double prices if you don't watch" she said bluntly to me.
 T hope you won't believe that, Mrs. Graham" The marketman came for ward. Sometimes prices are quoted incorrectly over the telephone. I am sure you will find our prices as rea- sonable as any other markets which keep our high class of goods"
 See you keep 'em cheap or I no trade with you" This was Katie's parting defiance as she picked up the bundle of eatables and started home ward.
 I had luxurious afternoon. Katie in the kitchen sang softly over her work, some minor-cadenced Polish folks song, and I, nestled deep in an armchair by the sunniest window dip ped deep into the pages of magazines and newspapers which I had not read. I realized with start that I was out of touch with the doings of the out side world, something which had not happened to me before for years, save in the few awful days of my mothers last illness. I really must catch up again.
 . Katie's Amazing Flight.
 I was so deep in a vivid description of the desolation in Belgium that I did not hear Dicky enter. I started as he kissed me.
 Head ache better, sweetheart? It must be or you wouldn't be able to read that horror.'' He closed the magazine playfully and drew me to my feet. '"
 T am perfectly we'll" I replied, land I have some good news for you. ''We have maid, trifie rough in her manner, but one whom think will be very good" A -
 That's fine" Dicky said heartily. ''I'd much rather come home to find you comfortably reading than scorch- ing your face and ruining your. hands in a kitchen" t-a.ss
 Say, Misses Grahanal"
 Katie came swiftly into the room, and I heard an exclamation of sur- prise from Dicky. .tE
 Why Katie, wherever did you come from ?"
 But Katie, with scream of fear her face white with terror, had back ed into the kitchen. I heard hel , opening the door where she had put her hat and cloak, then the slamming of the kitchen door

The bodice was so quaint. .Tight-fitting, fas- tening down the front with cut steel buttons and ending in two points .... Over the shoulders was a picot- edged frill of crepe chiffon; above this the chiffon was gathered into a V neck =. The three-quarter length sleeves ended in a similar frill and were tied below the elbow by a mar row violet velvet ribbon. The skirt was very full and an apron panel with two ruffles was let in the front. ... By the way, my dear, that apron effect is quite the latest thing !

Photopldy Fashion S
First Aid To the
Fair Students
Of Style.

Fashions in women's attire are
becoming almost as important
factor in the motion pictures as they
have been on the stage for several
years. Motion pictures actresses are
carrying the latest styles In dress
much further than the stage favor
ties, carried them-ths is meant
literally. For while the stage
favorite was only seen in a few
cities, the motion picture actress Is
found in every little town and ham,
let.
The result Is that motion pictures
are really helping women to dress
better and to keep up with the ever
changing styles. 1t is, of course, I'M
possible to give an idea Of the colors
OF the costumes in the ordinary black
and white film, but It is possible to
show something of the cut and fit
ting Of a gown and the women inter-
ested in dress-which means practi-
cally every woman-are beginning to
realize that they get their fashions
quicker by the motion picture route
than they do in the columns Of their
favorite fashion magazine.
The producers and actresses in the
motion picture industry are realizing
Che great value of the most up-to-
date costuming in their plays because
OF the interest the women take In
them, and the result Is that the ac-
tresses are kept hard at work pro-
viding costumes that will give their
audience the proper idea Of the
styles.
There are so many addressed
actresses in film work that the task
Of picking out the one that fur
nishes women with the most infor-
nation Is not possible. Clara KIM
