NOT SATISFIED WITH FATE
Most of Us Have Some Kind of a
Crouch as to How We Have
Been Used.

AS a rule we all hold a crouch
against life, because of the one thing
that we think should have happened
to us and did not. This is not a new
idea; it has been worked over and
over, but, just the same, if we take
the time to look little more deeply
into our hearts than we sometimes
like to do we are very likely to find
there a certain degree of resentment
against life, or fate, or circumstances
because some one outstanding thing
has not happened to us, something
that we would have liked to have
happened and which we believe would
have contributed in large measure to
our happiness. OF course, the some
thing that we have in mind differs with
each individual; it may be blessing
that we just missed or something that
we never had the least idea of obtain
ing; it may have to do with our per-
sonal happiness or our personal sue
cess; it may have been the one thing
necessary to round out beautiful life
or it may have been the one thing that
would have brought us disappointment,
but whatever it was we know that we
1onged for it with all our heart and
because it never happened to us, and
never will happen to us as far as we
can see, we continue to want it and to
feel hurt and injured because we have
not obtained it. We may not look
upon such condition as a blessing
in disguise because most of US prefer
our blessings in plain view and be-
yond all shadow of doubt or misunder-
standing.-C Charleston News and Cour-
Ter.

1t always takes exceptions to prove
the rule and to- keep certain accepted
styles from becoming monotonous. The
handsome dinner gown which presents
its brilliant accomplishment in black
and white with such assurance here is
an exception to the straight-line silhou-
cite. 1t belongs to small and exclu-
sive company of exceptions to this fea-
ture of the styles for fall, for the
straight-line figure grows more popular
all the time and is destined to domi-
nate in the styles of the coming sea-
son.
Allover lace and black satin join
forces in the tunic skirt and bodice.
There is an underskirt of white satin
bOrdered with black. The tunic is set
onto q body Of black satin that forms
a short yoke extending a few inches
below the waistline, and has border
of black satin about it's lower edge.
The lace bodice is very simply draped
over it's satin foundation and the
sleeves are of lace-rather full above
the elbow and shaped to the arm be-

low. They extend a little way oveE
the hand and are finished with a mar
row binding of satin. A bit of white
georgette suggests an underbodice OF
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
If this gown started out with dec
laration of independence as to it's out
lines it makes amends by making the
most of the vogue for long silk tassels.
There is very long girdle.of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist,
crossed at the back and Topped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long, handsome silk tassels, fall
to the bottom of the tunic and little
below the bottom of the skirt.
This gown is becoming to almost any
type Of figure. 1t is dignified and
quiet, but it is also brilliant. In the
picture a big black satin poppy adds
it's fine silken sheen to the finish of
an exquisite frock. 1t is in black also,
but might be in some brilliant color If
occasion seemed to demand it.

front and back of the bodice between
those at the sides, are pointed at the
top. They all hang several inches be-
low the waist and the end of each band
is threaded through a bead. Two of
these narrow silk bands are tackled
about theswaist and the bands that are
applied to the bodice are threaded over
and under them and then tackled to
them. The ends hang free.
The same bands in five overlapping
rows are stitched about the tunic just
above its hem. This is all there is to
tell of pretty afternoon gown which
one must acknowledge achieves dis.
tinction by the simplest means The
round neck has q Dicot edge and so
have the sleeves at the wrist. They
could not be palmer snd they fit the

Magnificence is not q characteristic
or any of the dressier gowns for after
moon and evening these days, but they
rejoice in simplicity and elegance.
These are the Indispensable things in
war time and the most satisfactory
in any time. Ingenuity in the manage
ment of simple trimming takes the
place of lavish work in elaborate en-
broioeries. About all the chance left
for milady to be splendid in sumptu-
Gus clothes lies in the direction of
furs. Among these there are some SUI
perb pieces, but they are bought for
a lifetime and so their case and that
of gowns are not parallel. They are
allowable even when good taste for
bids other extravaganza.
An afternoon frock as presented in
the picture seems almost too simple
to need q description. It is of blue
georgette over an underslip of satin
and is made with a bodice and tunic
skirt. The tunic is plated onto the
plain crepe bodice at the waistline,
which is little higher than the nor
NAL waistline of the underslip.
Straight bands of satin are applied to
the bodice. One Of them at each side
extends over the shoulder and down
zhe back. The three bands on the

and Temple Of Sun, cuzco.

fOwer-filled square, more than eleven
thousand feet above sea-level, the
semitrOpical sun shedding its warmth
radiantly upon your head through the
thin, transparent, cloudless air, you
find yourself wondering which way to
face lest something Of the strange
ever-unfolding scenes escape your
gaze. One side of the square is lined
by row of little shops filled with 81
varieties of merchandise in which pre-
dominate gay-colored saddles and di-
verse accoutrements for the burrOS
and pack animals, with prOfuse deco
rations of red and green and blue
wool; before these shops sit Indian
and cholo women holding in their
hands spindle spools which they manip-
ulate dexterOusly during the intervals
of trade, spinning the wool and weav-
ing it into the poncho and caps and
full shirts Of the native dress.
Above these quaint places of mer-
chandise in the top of these two-storied
houses that spread out over the side
walks are homes with deliberately
carved balconies overhanging the
street in old Spanish fashion, and with
red tiled roofs that glitter in the bright
sunshine.
Cathedral and Fortress.
On another side Of the plaza stands
the ancient cathedral, built as one is
told of the famous Inca stone and con-
tanning the brother Of PiZarro and that
Spanish conqueror's partner, AlmargO-
On the doors of the chapel of San
tiago, adjoining the cathedral, one can
read the legend preserved in archaic
sculpture of st. James coming down
visibly on his white horse, standing
with lance in rest, turning the tide
of battle in favor Of the Spaniards, thus
noting the last throes of the famous
Inca empire.
On still another side Of the square,
you can study the remarkable facade
of the old Jesuit church and the an
cient University of CuZcO founded in
the sixteenth century, which buildings
are said to be connected by an under
ground passage, associated with many
an historic intrigue in the days that
are dead.
These great piles of ancient mason
ry look straight away to the east where
the great megalithic fortress of Sacsa-
huaman, that cyclopean structure Of
ten called the ninth wonder of the
world, tops the hill 600 feet above the
city, and where one climbs to behold
the rock remains which guarded the
aboriginal Inca empire Of Nance Ca
pac. On the summit stands cross
bearing the inscription to the effect
that he who climbs the hill kisses the
crucifix and says prayer at the foot
of the cross, to him hundred days OF
indulgence shall be granted.

PROHI AMENDMENT
TO De ADOPTED BY
CEORGIA'S SOL0NS

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan THAT the
Georgia legislature wa ratlfy the
sYohibition amendment to the federal
constitution when it comes before the
lawmakers Of this state for their vote
IS accepted by political observers here
as a foregone conclusion.
Assuming that the twenty-segen
states which have voted for statewide
prohibition will ratify the amendment,
this leaves only nine more states, out Of
the remaining twenty-five, in order to
secure the needed ratification by thir-
ty-six state legislatures.
William J. Bryan, in signed arti-
Gle just published, predicts that the
federal amendment will be ratified by
thirty-six state legislatures in the next
three years. He takes it for granted
that the legislatures of the twenty
seven dry states will ratify the amend
ment.
