ing, of course. Their mistakes, which
are very many, are deplorable. The
way they treat their children, the way
they let their dog bark all night, the
reckless manner in which they drive
their car are all things which ought
to be bettered.
You could better them, of course.
But the moment you begin to better
them, your affairs will be neglected.
You will find, as you go through this
world, many men and many women
and many methods that you do not ap-
prove of.
You probably won't like the girl
your neighbours son is going to marry
and will feel that you ought to talk to
him about her.
Don't do it. He will misunderstood
you, and may thrash you for it.
You doubtless think your neighbor
is to blame because all the servants
leave her as fast as they are hired.
Probably she is to blame. But you
won't get any gratitude for showing
her why she is to blame. People are
unreasonable" about things like that.
Your neighbor may get down to
work too late in the morning and get
home too early at night. You may feel
that he is neglecting his work, and is
in a fair way to get fired because of it.
But 1t would be mistake to tell
him so. Perhaps he can afford to keep
easy hours. Perhaps he makes them
up by working at night. You don't
always have all the facts on which to
base your opinion Of him.
Your neighbors, you will find, will
get along about ms they have been do
ing whether you help them or not. And
they won't be at all pleased at your
assistance.
Furthermore, you will be so busy
giving this assistance that your own
affairs will get in mess. And when
they do, you will be insulted If your
neighbors tell you you ought to have
spent more time attending to them.

ertions designed to prevent the flowers
from being wiped out. They are wrong.
Aside from the purely esthetic side
of such work, it is of great Importance
to the education of the children who
come after us. But of still greater i'm
pcrtance is the influence the flowers
will have on the lives Of the people.
No one can look upon things which
are beautiful without feeling more
happy, or without higher apprecia-
ton of Gods greatness and recognize
ing that man is small. No one can
spend part of his time admiring the
flowers and breathing their fragrance
without experiencing thrill of en-
joyment or without thinking better
thoughts and feeling a desire to make
his own work more nearly perfect.
We, therefore, should be more thank
full for the millions of blossoms so
frequently trampled underfoot, and
there should be greater effort to keep
them blooming along all pathways.
A movement to preserve the species
of wildfiowers is taking practical form
in one of the big cities of the United
States. Through the influence of ma
ture lovers, park officials have set
aside a part of one of the public parks
for a wildfower preserve.
Every community would assure
greater happiness for its people by
protecting these beautiful works of
God.

EXERCISING THE WILL

NOTHING is more fatal to growth
I of will than that form of indo-
lence which shrinks from trial and ex-
pertinent.
The person who is confronted by a
new perplexity, loses his OF her self
reliance and In despair cries, what
shall do" is not destined to go very
far afieId in the creation Of song or
story or in the crafts.
He must, like boats, keep near the
shore and be ever ready to scud into
the harbor.
All the achievements In the arts and
sciences result from exercising an In
dividual will and Strengthening 1t in
difficult situations.
The practice of doing things habit
ually, as bookkeeper adds a column
of figures or typist rattles off a
routine letter, increases speed and
contributes a certain quality at eff
cheney, but it does not by any manner
of means improve the volitional power.
No new or original force is brought
into play. r.
The mind functions from, habit with
out any strain, unconscious of exer-
ton. Mere habit is the impelling
power which If persisted in for long
time weakens the will and eventually
retards progress and originality.
The men and women who rise to
the heights are those who every day
exercise their will-power in new
spheres. In their self-appofnted occu-
pations they call up their reserve
strength, whip their brains to faster
gait and discipline their resolution.
They think and act for themselves,
master their own problems by per-
severance and mount step by step to
places where rewards are largest and
honors are unblemished.
They early learned how to depend
on themselves by reasoning and using
their judgment They dug down to
basic principles and discovered the
why's and wherefores."

Old kaIsomine and Paper Should Be
Removed and the Walls
Washed Clean.

In an article published some months
ago, a party recommended for remov-
ing old kalsomine from walls, that the
wall should be sandpapered. The party
who tried this method would be very
much discouraged before going very
far AS matter of fact, the best and
only way to do this is to take a bucket
of warm water, Il wall brush and a
large sponge, wet the wall with the
brush thoroughly, letting it soak for a
little while, Ben, with the sponge and
water, wash the material down to the
clean wall.
In removing old wall paper, it is
first necessary to get it soaked up and
the underlying coat of paste wet. To
do this process similar to that used
in wetting kalsomine should be used.
When the wall has been thoroughly
brushed over, We'll soaked, if there is
only one coat of paper it will usually
let go and come off in strips. If, on the

places with the tailleur of cloth or the
simple afternoon dress Of silk, brown
and gray are favorite colors. Great
stress is placed on brown used either
alone or in combination with gray or
beige.
In the purely sport types very I'M
usual shades Of the brightest colors
are seen, such as the above men
toned cerise and purple. Emphasis
is placed on yellow and black used in
union.
Black Jackets PIaided in Yellow.
There are smart Russian jackets of
black plaided in yellow with long vel
low scarves having a pattern family
outlined in black. Often there Is a
! hat to match the scarf. There are
suits consisting of skirt of black and
yellow plaid, yellow blouse and a
black jacket.
These are much too fanciful, the
conservative woman will say. No one
Will wear them. And the question
has been raised on all sides, Will
women accept these new knitted
things? Not only has this question
been raised because of their unusual
colorings but because the knitted
dress never has been popular as any,
thing but a sport costume. But the
subject is no longer one for cOnjec-
ture. The public has accepted them.
A demand for any particular type
of dress is a wonderful inspiration
to designers and manufacturers and
an incentive to do their very best in
that particular line.
The one great difficulty about max
ing sport suits look their best Is in
choosing the right hat. Do you know
that very many women do this thing
wrong? While one hat may be quite
perfect for the country, the same one
will not do at all for the city streets.
Then when they come to selecting a
sport hat for city wear, that Is where
the whole difficulty arises. They are
either too fancy or too plain about it.
And, if you have any decisions about
this sort of hat being of the mex
pensive variety, why, there is where
you are doomed to disappointment
They are among the most expensive of
hats. And because of their tailored
outlines their shapes have to be most
artisticauy adjusted before they can
be considered to be exactly suitable.
Must Be Suited to Face.
| The little round, turned-back
brimmed hats are perhaps the most
universally becoming. But even those
must be adjusted well and suited to
the face You see, there is the most
awful chance with hat Of this char
acter of making the face sink into in
significance, or, on the other hand, of
making it stand out as much too large
a unit for any kind of proportion with
| the rest of the figure. 1t is delicate
little trick and point that any wom-
an will do well to consider at length
before making up her mind to a final
selection.
For summer the leghorns will again
be as popular as they were last sea-
son, especially those that turn away
from the face at front, and either turn
down at back or repeat the upward
flare at that angle.
There are many hats made of duve-
tyn and tweed, and these are draped
most artist1cally to suit the faces that
| wear them. But the news from Paris
and the general tendency right here is
for blocked straws or felts to be worn
now with snort SHIFTS and all the wav
| through the summer.

There are new developments in
sweaters, writes a fashion correspond
ent in the New York Tribune. which
have caused these highly useful gar
ments to change their form. Inno-
vations lie in the means of betting the
sweater, the combination of strikingly
opposing colors in one garment and
in the collars.
The Russian blouse effect bids fair
to replace the straight sweater for
the woman who wears exclusive
clothes. This effect is obtained
through the girdle-that simple article
of dress which has been called upon
to do so much toward making new
fashions during the past year. The
evening gown, the street dress, the
house dress, the negligee, all have de-
pended upon it to bring them into the
front ranks Of fashionable dress, and
1t has not been found wanting in YER
satility. Now it must lend it's sup
port to the new Russian blouse
sweaters.
Sometimes the sweater is bloused
at low waistline by means of an
elastic band over which is placed an
ornamental girdle, or it may simply
blouse over a girdle. Among the late
models is noticed an arrangement OF
shell rings through which knitted
ribbon gird1e passed. Every model
shows something different in its style
of betting from the ordinary straight
cut sweater.
Opposing colors Combined.
Among the newest sweaters are
those knitted of artificial silk with
beautiful patterns introduced In op-
posing colors. For instance, cerise
sweater will have a design in deep
purple, a lovely shade of lavender
may be relieved by flame yellow and
again two shades of mauve may be
beautifully blended.
Some new sweaters from Madeleine
ct Madeleine Of Paris represent the
newest designs in sweater coats and
are typical of the latest developments
in garments Of this sort.
One Is Of lavender silk with the pat
tern in blue. 1t is belted by knitted
band of the silk. Another shows a
very pale lavender silk coat with the
pattern knitted in bright yellow. 1t
is bloused by means Of an elastic band
placed low on the inside of the coat.
An interesting model Is Of bright
cerise silk patterned in purple. The
purple string belt passes through shell
rings and draws in the jacket to form
the blouse effect.
Sport Bags Accompany Sweaters.
Odette of Paris is showing some
beautiful hand-knit sweaters and
sweater blouses. One of her most
striking is named Geisha. The orig
inal is developed in black wool with
landscape pattern done in yellow,
black and white embroidery silk. A

THE FLAT OWNERS FATE

-
A RICH man built a row Of flats,
All modern and complete;
A velvet lawn stretched out in front
Along the noisy street.
And then he tackled a sign up high
Above the passing crowd:
"These handsome, modern flats for
No children are allowed"
He garnered rents in golden store
And riches high he piled,
The while the echoes never rang
With laughter of a child.
No childish feet went pitty-pat
Adown the marble halls;
The gloomy corridors ne'er rang
With children's happy calls.
The rich man died, as all men must,
And neared st. Peters gate,
And DER the golden arch he saw
The words that sealed his fate.
The words he saw were writ in flame,
And scared his hard heart well:
"This place is full Of little ones
You'll have to go below"

THE WILD FLOWERS

GAVE the wild flowers.
~ Slowly, but surely, many of the
most beautiful species of blooms are
disappearing. Constantly those who
love them carelessly pull them up by
the roots, or the uncaring destroy them
with little less than criminal intent.
Virtually nothing is being done to give
them heightened lives.
Yet there are thousands who find
some of the greatest pleasure in
tramping through the woods and fields
and viewing the fragrant beauties in
their native haunts. God was kind in
giving us so many varieties to en-
nance the landscape and make the
world more beautiful. And those who
love the wildflowers would be remiss
in their duty to themselves and their
fellows if they did not use every pos
sible influence to have the floral spe-
cies preserved.
Some may contend that nothing of
material value is to be gained by ex-

there existed in New York number
of public houses where, ale and porter

These taverns or saloons came to be
known as "porter-houseS."
The proprietor of one of these cstab-
lishments, receiving hurry call for a
particularly tender and appetizing
steak, made the experiment of cutting
the top off roast which had been
sent i'm for his personal use. The Gus

the way is very unsanitary and I'M

job, and in that event it is usually nee
essary to take tool known as a wall
scraper, made on the style. of a putty
knife, only with q wider blade; in the
absence of that, an old jackplane blade
may be used, laying it fiat On the wall
and forcing the paper loose. The old
decaying paste should then be careful
ly washed off, leaving the wall clean.
Much unnecessary labor and corre-
spending mess is caused by using
cheap, temporary materials instead of
q sanitary and durable wall coating.
