LACING FROM BOOTS TO HATS
New BoIero Jacket is Laced to Fir
the Figure SnuaIy-Gfoves Also
Are Laced.

AS eagerly as the buttoned boot was
discarded to replace the laced one is
the idea of lacing any two pieces of
material that seem in any way to be-
long to each other being introduced
and adopted A costume that has at
tracted much attention is one of navy
blue gaberdine, the bolero jacket of
which was laced to fit the figure snug
ly. The rather large sleeves were
laced to fit the lower arm; the col
lar, too, was laced to the chin.
With the new inside lacing of the
boot comes the hat, whose several por-
lions are joined with lacing. Gloves
too, are laced on either the inside or
the outside of the arm; in fact, to be
quite up-to-the-minute enc must have
two parts of the costume laced to-
gether.

TO USE ODD BITS OF LACE
reat Variety of Pretty and Useful
Things in Which Odd Pieces
Can Be Used.

There seems to be an endless variety
Of uses to which fllet crochet can be
applied. A large square of this
crochet could be made into a very
charming boudoir cap. A square with
a rose pattern would be very pretty,
although the extremely conventional
designs are equally good.
The square should be made with
fifty or sixty codon net, as it will be
more attractive if the mesh is not too
fine. A picot edging may be added to
the edge of the square, or it can mere
Iy be finished with two rows of the
plain mesh.
When making this cap casing is
stitched around the inside of the
square, forming a circle by eliminat-
ing the corners. An elastic is run
through the casing; then the corners
are wired with fine millinery wire, so
as to make them stand out. The front
and back corners are slightly rolled
over the crown. The points of the
corners at each side are turned back.
The effect is very much the same as
a Normandy cap; but, being made of
fillet crochet, it is very quaint and IN
usual

TOO TALL OR TOO STOUT
Dressmakers' Art Is to Cover the De-
fects in Stature of Their
Patrons.

Most women, measured by an ideal
standard of beauty, are too tall or too
thin, too short or too stout; they do
not stand well; they walk badly; or
they have spoiled their compilations by
hook or by crook-something is wrong.
The dressmakers art is to cover these
defects so far as possible, to draw at
tention away from defects toward the
good points of the figure.
The ideally beautiful woman can wear
anything from Greek gown to a peas
ant costume, and look divine. But with
very few exceptions allowed for the
perfect woman, designs in dress must
be adapted before they can be adopt
ed to advantage. Fashion plates are
drawn upon beautifully tall and fair
women to show the proper proportions
to be observed in the designs them
selves, according to the mind of the
designing artist
Some designs are hopelessly bad at
the beginning. Designs, however good
in themselves, are not meant to be
slavishly copied A woman six feet
tall may wear a dress skirt eight or
ten yards wide at the bottom, but the
dumpy little woman who is as broad
as she is long will be a ridiculous fig
ure in the same enormous sweep OF
skirt.-Belle Armstrong Whitney, in
Good Health.

NEAT BONBON BASKETS
NEW IDEA IN TABLE DECORATION
is REAL NOVELTY.
Intended to Hold Sailed Almonds or
ections-Expensive to Buy
But Not Difficult to Make
at Home.

One of the novelties in table decora-
ton this season is the tiny gilt and
lace individual basket designed to
hold bonbons, sailed almonds, or 9TH
er dainty CONNECTIONS. They are the
prettiest things imaginable, and
though expensive to buy, should not
be difficult to make at home.
One should make trial basket first.
Get a ten-cent knot of gilt wire and
fashion into a basket, weaving the
wire in and out in very large mesh,
in any preferred shape. There is the
dainty little French basket, also the
square shape fashioned on the order
of the ordinary waste paper basket.
Both are popular and also quite easy
to follow. The lining is of valenciennes
lace. The first step is to cut tiny
round of cardboard to fit the bottom
Of the basket, square, round or oval,
as the case may be, and cover first
with silk in a delicate color and then
with scrap of the valenciennes lace.
Next cut a strip of lace edging a little
wider than the depth of the basket
and long enough to go around it and
half as much again. Gather the
straight edge of the lace and sew to
the piece of covered cardboard. Put
in gathering of the lace, thus Great
ing little frill to stand up all around
the basket, trim the handles with baby
ribbon tied into bows to match the
color of the bottom and the basket is
complete.
For a Christmas table the baskets
could be trimmed with red or holly
ribbons. For ordinary use one could
get very pretty effect by using diff
ferent color for each basket in harle-
quin fashion. In this way any scraps
of silk or ribbon that might be on
hand could be used up.
Val lace at ten cents yard or less
will answer for lining. It should be
from three to three and one-half inches

THE coMPLAlNER

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself, with others, with your en-
vironment, with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation
The satisfied man is fool, intoxicated
with his own satisfaction, never sober
enough to do more than stagger along
the road OF life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the well-kept
sly.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is forerun-
ner of success.
There is, however, wide gulf be-
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer, the disreputable knocker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up of Alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete. The two properly blended
are part of the composition of success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
to himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes in contact. He is
a failure at the start, and will be a
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely, the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and a menace to
society, because he does not know
enough to get out of the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes.
Dissatisfaction has a value only
when it spurs one on to better effort.
often does, and takes the gimp out of
him, so to speak, it is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
er. He has no friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility,
and he never will. He cannot manage
himself or command others. He has
no respect for himself and nobody re-
Epects him. He is no better than
dead log floating on the stream, accom-
plishing nothing and serving only as
menace to navigation.
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
others, he cannot afford to give more
than part of his time to listening to
complaints, and he should not give any
of his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying.
Keep your troubles to yourself or
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent of trouble
doesn't appear. 1t exists wholly in the
mind
Don't make speciality of worrying.
There is real trouble to worry about,
and enough to keep you busy.
Kick when there is something real
to kick at. You will strain yourself
and sprain your leg if you kick at
nothing.

FINDS NEW RACE OF INDIANS
Explorer Who Is Investigating Brazil
Writes That Savages Worshiped
Him as God.

Albert Lang, who is exploring the
sources of the Amazon for the Brazil
ian government, has informed F. N.
Dellenbaugh. secretary of the Explor-
ers club, of the discovery of a new
tribe of Indians, 1000 miles from civ
ilization, between the headwaters of
the Cairary and Moju rivers. Mr..
Lang gives picturesque description
of the savages, who, he says, took
him for a god, embracing his feet to
show their devotion. Their tools, he
writes, are of stone, and their
ideas so unusual as to suggest their
belonging to another age. The jew
ish cast of their features might lead
one to infer that they were of the
lost tribes did not their ignorane of
iron and writing argue against it.

What Color For Waists.

The most radical change in the waist
styles this season is in the color. The
dressy waists are either dark, SO as to
match the suit, or are in some high
color, thus contrasting with the suit.
On the other hand, the semi-tailcred
models continue to be mostly in white
and in fiesh-color, says the Dry Goods
Economist
The new season waists of conserva-
tive type are in navy, brown, dark
green, purple, gray or mulberry.
Waists of more striking type are in
garnet, light green, rose, royal purple,
French blue and other tones which will
blend tremendously with the dark suit
colorings.

LumbaQo.

Although it is seldom fatal, few dis
eases to which mankind is heir cause
more intense suffering than lumbago.
1t is characterized by severe pains like
neuralgia or rheumatism in the small
of the back. The trouble centers
around what are known as the lumbar
vertebrae.
The attacks come on and disappear
suddenly and are often severe enough
to keep the patient in bed, hardly able
to move muscle.

the lower ones of which swept the
ground. Like the young trees of to-
day, the ancient sequoia and the
clump Of trees of similar age which
grew close to it must have been a
charming adornnent of the landscape.
By the time of Marathon the trees
had lost the hard, sharp lines Of
youth, and were thoroughly mature.
The lower branches had disappeared,
up to height of hundred feet or
more; the giant trunks were disclosed
as bare, reddish columns covered with
soft bark six inches or foot in thick
ness; the upper branches had &C
quired slightly dropping aspect; and
the spi1y foliage, far removed from
the ground, had assumed a graceful,
rounded appearance. Then for CEN
turtles, through the days Of Rome, the
Dark Ages and all the period Of the
growth of European civilization, the
ancient giants preserved the same ap-
pearance, strong and solid, but with
strangely attractive, approachable
quality"
The Sequoias are found scattered
all over the park, which has an area
of 161, 597 acres, but the greater trees
are gathered in 13 groups of many
acres each, where they grow close to-
gether.
The following is a list of a few of
the principal trees, with their names,
height, and diameter:
Giant Forest Grove.
General Sherman. height, 279.9 feet;
diameter, 96.5 feet.
Abraham Lincoln, height, 270 feet;
diameter, 81 feet.

The General Sherman tree was dis

which time he named the tree in
honor Of General Sherman, under
whom he had served during the war.

The brave man, the man who wins

Home Of the Golden Trout.

The general country is one Of the
most beautiful in America, Astounding
in splendid streams, noble valleys,
striking ridges, and towering noun
tains. Some of the best trout fishing
in the world is found here. The park
is the home of the celebrated golden
trout, which is found nowhere else in
such perfection of color.
These mountains and valleys form
literally one of the most available
pleasure spots on the continent. 1t is
easily travelled and abounds in fine
camping grounds. The water is drink
able in all the streams. Aside from
the sequoias the largest, Oldest, tall
est, anG most valuable forest trees are
found here. There are forests of pine,
that are fairly royal. There are many
shrubs, wild flowers, ferns and moss es
of wonderful luXuriance and beauty.
1t is a park of birds.
In laying out the boundaries of Sc
quota National park some of the most
superb of American scenic country
was unaccountably omitted. Just TO
the north lies the wonderful valley of
the Kings river with its spectacular
canyon and picturesque mountains,
while directly On tl,a east. over the

for its beauty. Mouue Whitney, on its
east bank, is the lof6est mountain in
