laugh.
If you laugh In the face Of mis-
fortune, you have robbed it of its
very essence. Poverty, reverses,
even illness lin these days of
auto-suggestion) can be DETECTED
and often turned to actual good
account by the power of laughter
by the power Of the individual
to laugh at and through them.
A laugh Is as potent a weapon
for offense as for defense. A
woman's most invincible often
sive campaign is attraction. When
we say that q woman goes ont
after a man what we mean is that
she seeks to attract him. What
is there In the world so attrac-
tive as laughter? The flash of
an eye-the toss of a head-a
sudden CLINT of white teeth
the ripple of a hidden dimple-
You can catch, analyze, mimic
even turn to ridicule the love of
the woman who calls men by
means Of "come hither" In the
wistful depths Of her eyes bu.
who shall measure the depth of
allure in a sudden smile-the stab
of a sudden peal Of laughter?
Or the power Of the scornful
laugh that is turned on presump-
ton? What uttered words have
half the wealth of disdain-half
the potency Of those unuttered
words that lie in the back of a
scornful laugh? =
But like all potent weapons, it
must be used advisedIy. You
would not toss a lighted match
into a can of gasoline. Do not
throw a laugh into the ignitable
material of a mans inflamed
vanity. You would not rub vitriol
into a wound. Beware how you
apply ridicule to injured pride.
If you had a powerful automatic
you would learn how to use It
properly. And you would be care
full with it. Laughter is your au-
tomatic-always at hand-always
loaded. Use it freely-but with
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and mercy.

Handkerchiefs and garments
which have become yellow should
be allowed to soak in cold water
with cream of tartar-a teaspoon
full of cream Of tartar to a quart
Of water. This is a simple but eff
fective method Of whitening them.
Sour milk brightens hearth tiles
and sinks, and a little added to
the water in which the steps are
washed makes them white.
Iron mould must be removed
from linen before 1t Is soaked or

THE VOGUE
FOR BEADS
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

A LMOST ell the new frocks
"a and robes show the vogue
- for beaded effects. Whether
for evening. afternoon or boudoir
wear, you viii find beads Iavishly
displayed.
For evening, a pink crepe roma
gown beaded all over with close
crystal beads is cut on straight
chenlise lines and IL sleeveless;
1t IL marked by the addition OF
q great flowing sleeve dropping
off the shoulders to effect a train
and q sash of brown tu1le on the
opposite side.
Simple sleeveless chemise
frocks, with perhaps long drape
at the side, are made up in all
the soft crepe fabrics. and are
closely beaded in fine crystals.
For afternoon and informal
wear, the Egyptian influence is
strongly felt, especially in printed
silk frocks. Frocks that inter
pref this mode do 30 entirely with
colored bead. and the colorings
and designs are exquisite. These
frocks follow the simplest lines,
and depend on their gorgeous
coloring and workmanship for
success. Sometimes. ono finds
the tiny beads Stimulating a yoke,
and also a border at the bottom
Of the frock. A narrow girdle of
plain material is often worn.
Not only evening gowns and
afternoon frocks show the beaded
popularity, but the costume suits
OF the late afternoon, too, are
prettily beaded. For instance. a
suit of soft black charmeuse
shows a one.piece gown and a
short flare hip.length jacket. The
jacket is entirely beaded with
tiny steel beads riveted into the
material, and there is an interest

ranged at the bottom Of the skirt

Stunning negligees and tea

times this may be merely to out.

sometimes may form q smart
