 No one escapes sorrow and difficult ty. Its the common lot for part of each existence, and the way you face it has a great deal to do with settling the question of your success or failure in this world.
 I'm going to tell you of several folks know-each of whom had his or her way of meeting difficulty. There isn't much question-when it's method you want to adopt.

DAINTINESS

Do you always look dainty?
 It is a strange thing that great many women and girls feel that IL IS not necessary to look fresh or dainty when they are at home Any oiu thing" will do to wear about the house when no one is around except the family.
 I think even the most careless Of these women knows that this attitude is a mistake It is not so much oe- cause the women loses certain amount of respect from her own fam fly as it is because she loses certain respect for herself To make IL a personal matter. don't you always ! like yourself better when you are dressed up and looking fresh and | After all, it is quite as easy to look fresh and attractive when alone at | home as it is to go about looking and resting it takes no extra time |" slip into a pretty neEligec- This neeu not to be expensive. for negliSees can be made up from low-price materials fresh and attractive when alone at out of the question. but you should wear neat looking house dresses so that you are always presentablc-

MEN BELONG TO WEAKER SEX
 NOWADAYS

London-"AIen are the weaker sex" 'TThey are quite helpless-quite un- able to protect themselves"
 ''They are caught in the net of war;
 "Only women can protect them."
 These are but a few of the start ling statements made by Mrs. Pethick Lawrence one of the leaders of th women's suffrage movement, who hs-' returned to England after a tour of America.
 You have only to read about the war to realize mems heroisn-only to visit the cemeteries on both sides of the line to realize their helplessness; only to look round Europe to realize how they have failed to protect their women and children said Mrs. Law renee.
 'In my opinion, the special mission of women in public life is to make war impossible in the future. No oth- CT political issue compares with it in importance.
 "As non-combatants we are in the best possible position We're not so liab1 to be called towards and we can say what we think about war. It is essential that we should say ii and say it so clearly that the gov- ernments of all countries will have to listen. We must bring about uni versa1 disarmament 'F'or the future intend to devote my time to appealing to women all | over the world to do what they have | never attempted to do before-to pro- | tect the men.

NEW HE.LICOPTOR
 SOON TO BE TRIED

(By International News Service.)
 London.-Mr. Louis Brennan, the inventor of the monorai1 gyroscopic train, who has been experimenting for more than @ year on a helicopter at an aerodrome near London, is shortly to have his experiment off, cial1y tested.
 A he1icopter is a air machine which it is claimed will be able to ascend and descend vertically, or nearly so, without putting its nose up or down, and will also be able to hover while in flight.
 It is understood that not only has the British Government financed MT. Brennau's heIicopter experiments, but has also offered him an unprecedent- ed reward if his invention proves successful.
