style in which she would have re-
yelled. But there was no one like
her for knowing how a person ought
to dress, and she could tell you ex-
actly how all the other women for
mile around showed their utter
ignorance of it. Their taste was
schocking. She would not wear a
dress to look anything like any one
of them for the world. Not being
able to study appearance, however,
owing to her husbands restricted
! means, she resolved to dismiss the
subject entirely from her mind. She
did.
Il believe in studying appearances

you only have the time and money
to do it. But if you haven't what's
the good? l say leave them alone.
There's Mrs. Jones up the road.
She gets new hat-poor thing!-
and she's delighted. But a new hat
or new pair of boots only shows
up what isn't new upon you. And
what's the good of thing if it isn't
the best? If l can't get the best, l
say, have none at all. What did
you say? You think I've dropped a
sixpence? Oil 1t is only button.

you mind putting it into the orna-
ment on the mantelpiece3 I've got

it? There were sixteen of those
mother-of-pearl buttons on this dress
when started-all for show-and

\ Seven buttons and nine pins!
We may yearn as much as we like
for thoroughness-which means per-
fection-but if we are to be happy
and get along satisfactorily, we must
take off our hat to much that falls
short of it. One wishes, perhaps, to
do something thoroughly and then,
tryin ones hand at it. Well, its
disheartening, isn't it? The very ear
nestness of our desire to do thing
perfectly makes a little failure all
the more disconcerting. u
"The bigger the ideal you set be-

he must do thing thoroughly OF
leave it alone. We feel that we
ought to know where we are with
him. The worst of it is, however,
that he so often prefers to leave the
job alone. He might have done
something-something small, perhaps,
but still something. But no! If he
cannot do the thing thoroughly he's
not going to put finger to it. The
finger sticks.
Some time since ! lived in road
where the house had little bit Of a
garden in front of them. 1t was quite
prim little road. We were not
millionaires, equal to calling in the
best horticultural skill or buying the
most extensive displays in Horticulture.
Still we kept up to certain respect
able level. There was one house,
however, that was scandalous. 1t
was the fly in the pot Of ointment.
The bit of front garden was simply
disgrace to the whole of us-more
than that, it was a regular hotbed Of
weed viciousness.
The weeds in that garden infected
all around, and people in the road
studied the direction of the wind

blew dandelion and thistle seed to
the people up the road; if it was
in the west the down" people got
them. We used to expostulate with
the owner of the crop. He was a
most fervent admirer of gardens,
he assured us. He loved them.
Providence, he pointed out, placed
Adam in the garden. Nothing would
please him more than to go in"
for gardening, he declared, but he
hadn't time and being a thorough
person, if he could not do gardening
as it ought to be done, he wasn't
going to touch it.
