THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN wp1Trp

There is an old school book adage
that says, Experience is a hard
/ school. but fools will learn in no
other"
The trouble with most of us is
that we are such super-fools we do
not even learn any wisdom from the
bitter lesson that experience should
/ have taught US. An Intelligent per-
son may blunder into making a mis-
take once. but il would seem that
only three-pIy idiot would be stu
pid enough to fall into the same err
ror again, yet every day of our
lives we see men and women
stumbling into the same old Iits
that they fioundered into the day be-
fore, and before whose dangers their
experience has hung no red light
| of warning.
The most curious example of the
ivory domed individuals who learn
nothing from experience are those
whom poverty has taught no lesson
OF thrift. All Of us number among
our acquaintances people who have
been down to their last penny.
They have known what IL was to
be shabby. cold and hungry. They
! have walked the streets in thread
| bare garments and wondered where
the next meal would come from.
They have had their hearts quake
with dread at the sound of a hand
fumbling at the lock for fear it was
the landlord turning them out of
their humble home. They have
gone through the agony of seeing
their loved ones sicken and perhaps
die for lack of the things that
money could have bought. They have
mad their souls sicken with shame
when they had to ask charity of
their relatives and friends. There
is no need. no humiliation, no anxi-
ETY. with which the lack of money
can torture a person that they have
not been through.
You would think that the lesson
of poverty had been so scared into
the consciousness of such people
that when they got to making
money that they would hold on to
every nickel with the grasp of a.
miser. You would think that they
would never take the slightest
chance of ever being caught with
empty pockets again. but in the
SiSoN VI CdStS IneY nave
learned nothing from experience,
Give them 81 or $4,000 and they
spend 1t as they go with no thought
for the morrow. They make no ef-
for toward safeguarding them
selves against the terrible exper-
ience they have been through.
That is why we have to help the
improvident over and over again
They are fools who learn nothing
from experience.
Domesticity furnishes US with an
other interesting illustration of
those who are too stupid to learn
from experience.
That is the why of the family
spat that makes the great majority
of homes a dark and bloody battle
ground instead of the place of peace
and quiet it is meant to be.
1t is inevitable that every bride
and groom when they are really
getting acquainted with each other
and exploring the angles of each
others tempers and dispositions
should unwittingly bump into sharp
corners that knock the halo of ro-
nance askew, and fall into bogs of
argument in which the chariot of
love is temporarily stilled

fering there is in the world now!
A great heart pain torments hu-
manity and there seems no end
to it.
I wish we could find a way to
live in quiet and peace. May II be
granted US to be strong and strug-
gle forward on our thorny way,
forward to a radiant goal! I hope
you will not have any difficulties
with Alexiev and that you can
soon come back. This Is not a sell

well how -the believing mob" acts
when you are near. They are
afraid of you now. and they must
be made still more afraid of you.
Therefore, wherever you go they
must tremble before you. Among
the cabinet ministers. too. you are
a power and leader. Come back
soon
You see what I ask of you is not
for my own sake and not at all for
Bebe's sake, because we know you
keep US in your thoughts all the
time. I know the duty that takes
you away from US and that now
you are needed there much more
than here. So, then. as quick as
you can clear up your affairs be
good and come back here by the
list of March. when I hope that all
will be as ii ought to be.
Come home. Your wife-your
helpmeet-stands on watch back OF
the front. 1t is true she cannot do
much. But all who have been near
by know she is your supporter.
My eyes ache with tears. 1 am
going from the station straight to
JunCfur Marie's church. because it
is there we have always been to-

strengthen me, and I shall pray
God for you, my angel.

Always more and more. my love
for you is deep as the sea. Ny
affection for you is immeasur-

Sleep quiet. Don't Cough.
The change of climate will help
you to a better health. May
white angels protect you!
Christ is with you and Mother
Mary will never leave you.

tistes, handkerchief linens and lawns
are particular favorites this season as
time and experience has proved to
most women that their wearing quail
ties are superior to garments orna-
mented with lace. There is a SIM
plicity and elegance about the delicate
embroidery which appeals to women
of taste.
But the lovely creations of crepe de
chine, untrimmed or with touches of
lace have an irresistible charm OF
their own. Bits of tucking. hem
stitching. and ribbon bows or roses
ornament these silken beauties. r'or
the most part the coiors for lingerie
are limited to white and pale pink,
although occasional pieces in pale
blue, green or yellow are presented,
made specially to match colored even
ing costumes.
There is a slowly increasing ten
dency to add color to white lingerie
by mere touches of embroidery or by
knots of pale colored ribbon.
Many of the most elaborate lingeries
are in sets" of three pieces. having

OF the season.
The set sketched here is OF French

show touches of fine shirring. while
the combination suit is semi-ftted at

A woman can find it in her heart to
pity mere man these days. What can
a man know of the strictly feminine
thrill Of interest and pleasure that is
stirred by a great, brilliant shop win
dow. foaming and frothing With lace
embroidery, lawn. linen. silk, satin

and general delectability which is un-

At this season the land Is dotted
with such shop windows and their
alluring displays surrounded by ad-
miring feminine throngs, silent in ad-
miration. and doing sums in mental
arithmetic to see tust how much of this
frilly delight they can afford to buy!

Pine Needles for Brushes.

It has recently been discovered that
the leaves of the pine make a very
fair substitute for bristles in the max
ing of brushes and bTooms. These are
to be found in huge quantities on The
ground in fir forests. and owing to the
large amount of silica in them, they
are hard and do not decay rapidly.
They are Of varying lengths, accord
ing to the kind of tree from which
they fall. In some cases the leaves
are six and even more inches long
Some elaborate tests have shown
that the pine needles wear very well,
indeed. They are not more easily
broken than much of the material
which has been commonly used in
broom making, and owing to their
hardness. they can Withstand a great
deal of friction. 1t goes without say
ing that vast quantities of pine nee
dies can be collected for nothing
wherever the trees abound

you for what you must now suffer
and stand against. But how long
must we now wait?
