LOOK UPON THE BRIGHT
SIDE.
via

Pollyanna is the girl in story who
helped others to look on the bright side
Of things, however dark they seemed
to be, and when she discovered how
well her plans had worked realized that
she had taught others to play her own
game better than she could play 1t her
self. How easy that is for most per.
sons. even those who have not the sp1r.
itual insight of snch girl as Polly
anna! A mother teaches her child to
be brave and to strive for high ideals.
All the time she may be sure that she
is herself moral and physical coward
and that she often falls below the av-
erage in her acceptance OF ideals.

or woman may say on whom devolves
something that presupposes not only
intelligence. but high moral purpose.
The very fact that he questions himself
indicates that he is fit in way and
that understanding what Is required Of
him he may at least approximate it.
Those who have not the ability to per-
suade themselves to look for the bright
things of life may at least help others
to do it and in the doing may profit by
the experience.
Very reverently a mother looks upon
the task Of leading her children in the
right way. What am l." she asks her
self. vain and frivolous as | am. to be
intrusted with the upbringing Of a
child?" But no doubt the very fact
that she does not preach. but leads her
in a sweet, human way. makes
better children of them.
Life to be perfect must be well bal
anced, and the grave must not be al
lowed to outweigh the gay. A child
playing marbles or spinning top can
be taught to be careful and consider
ate. to play fair and respect the rights
Of others and many other things, just
as well as in his Sunday school class. |

mother must lead her child by threads
Of precept and example. so strong that

that the great spirit Of kindness be-

CONCERNING GRAY.

Well Liked but Trying Color, Which
! Should Be Cautiously Chosen.
There is always revival of gray
when spring comes. 1t has been fea-
ture of new spring frocks since the
days of the last century novelists, who
raved over heroines CARRIED in sober
gray" and dove gray" and silver
gray"
Beyond a doubt all shades of gray
are lovely in the piece. and it Is al
most impossible to keep from buying
them unless you have wit enough to
lay the material against your shoulder
and look in the glass before purchas-
ing.
As a matter of fact, gray is very
difficult color to wear unless you have
a very pink and white skin. If you
are wee bit coloress or sallow avoid
dove gray as you would putty. Some
times a sallow complexion will stand
steel gray, or, better yet, taupe. but
the coloress woman will do better to
avoid gray If she must go into neutral
tintS at all.
A soft pink gray is the most gen.
orally becoming, but the lavender grays
must be carefully tried. lovely as they
are. "Battleship gray" is. of course,
the popular color this spring. and this
and taupe are being much sought after.
both in cloths and In the corded Silks
such as faille or silk poplin.
The woman who cannot wear true
gray must also be careful how she
selects blue, as blue of the color that
turns slate under artificial light is apt
to be unbecoming to her 1t is strange
thing. but the colorless woman with
hair of no decided hue usually looks
well in rather intense shades of blue.
such as peacock or even the new Joffre
blue. whereas she will look faded In
the pale true blues. In other words, she
needs something to add tone to her
rather colorless personality and she can
often strike becoming color that
would be trying on anybody else.
1t should be remembered, however,
that a vivid color should always be
chosen cautiously If one cannot afford
many clothes. A vivid hue in silk or
summer fabric is always wiser pur-
chase than in an expensive cloth, which
must be worn more than one season.

HOW TO DRESS.
The Advice of Famous Actress Not
to Be Followed Too Closely.

The Advice of Famous Actress Not
to Be Followed Too Closely.
Dress your character, not your fig
ure." is the advice of famous actress
and rather surprising this advice
seems at first hearing. But think 1t
over well and the excellence of the
idea will appeal to you. Every woman
has certain individuality Of her own
IA temperament. if you wtll-that
deal, different from all other women.
1t Is this ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS tempera-
ment-that woman should dress up to,
according to the actress, in order to
make the personality more marked
and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out Of
this advice with no heed to the prompt
ings Of reason may result in disaster
For example. there is always the wo-
man who weighs 200 pounds or there
abouts. but whose personality is dis
tinctly kittenish. Is she to dress her
character-or her figure? There is also
the little woman who ought to belong

yearns to be impressive and stately. If
she insists upon wearing the garments
Of the grenadier woman she may spoil
her chances of being fascinatingly
charming.
The actress in her part always is
dressed in conformity with the char
acter she is portraying. but her cos
tumes-and here is an important point
are made to suit her figure lines
while expressing a special sort of per-
sonality. Therefore If the delightful
founces of the 1880 period suit your
type exactly, but are a bit trying to
your too solid figure, adopt the
founces. but see to 1t that they are so
cut and so arranged that the lines OF
the silhouette are right. This Is true
also of pert millinery styles. Of classic
draperies or oriental modes They all
may be worn. when they suit the per-
sonality, if their lines are cleverly
adapted to the figure that Is to sustain
them.

And he ran to her across the smok-

he had just passed fell in with
cracking, crashing sound, and through

opening the window AS Tommy
reached her she staggered and fell
into his arms.

and groaned like a thing that had

Supporting Celestia with one arm
ne succeeded in opening the window.
The crowd In the street below saw
them, and a kind of groaning and
lamentation arose.
CeIestia began to revive.
Tommy had turned his back to the
window. Not until the last moment
would he let her iump. and then only
to escape more shocking death
Meanwhile his heart beat strongly,
and he pressed her closer to his
breast as If he thought as they had at
best but few minutes to live he
must make her understand how much
he loved her.

love me, could let me know she loved
me before the end"
II seemed to him that he couldn't
die, that he mustn't die without her
knowing that.
Then a sudden and more practical
thought came into his head. If he
was to die, he must die trying to save
her. Then she would understand. He
looked about him wildly, and his eyes
fell upon a great roll of black and
material for making
shirts. Leaving Celestia leaning
against the wall near the open win
