broidery is not only used in bright
cOlors and peasant designs on silks,
but all-over patterns in self colOrs are
excellent style.
Lace IS used extensively for the
more elaborate type of frock, dyed
brilliant colors, as well as in cream
and black. Most frequently it is COM
bined with a blouse or basque of silk
or velvet.

Skirts Not Very Long.
Skirts are OF medium length,
neither uncomfortably long nor con
spicuously short, and they are
pleated or draped or straight and
narrow for those so inclined.
The waistline is slightly raised and
gives n much trimmer line TO the
figure than the extremely low one of
the fall and winter. The chem;se
frock is still very popular, but so is

tomorrow. Realize that most prob
lens solve themselves. As you go quiet
ly to sleep, give to your subconscious
the suggestion to solve the problem.
And, if you believe that it will, in oil
likelihood it will.
IL you follow these suggestions
faithfully you will be surprised to see
how the kinks of life smooth out, how
your health improves, how your en-.
vironments changes for the better.
And finally, you will awaken some
morning to find that your problems
have been solved, that your life is run
ming smoothly and that you are glad
just to be alive and do your work.
II trouble comes, turn UP the cor
ners of your mouth, brighten your own
atmosphere, relax the muscles of your
face and smile, smile, smile, and soon
there will be miles of smiles. Give
yourself the suggestion that you are
able to meet any problem, and you
will be.
Such mental attitudes not only save
energy, but recoup it. BY adopting
them you will get into the habit of so
charging yourself with energy that

from the physical and mental points
of view, but rccuperation is not the

To be able to maintain a rccupcra-

you must be able to maintain also a
sufficiently relaxed mental attitude in

and the rest saved for subsequent

beauty, sympathy warmth and light.
He longed for the happy life as he
saw it lived by Ann and Tom Mason.
He could not understand such love rs

some who were gosSiped about be-

that.
That Bruce tried so hard to be fair
was only proof of how desperately he

himself deeply in love with Muriel
and he tried TO convince himself he
never had ceased TO love her in the
same way. As an honest and straight
forward man he realized the force OF
obligation, the Sacredness of duty and
was ashamed Of any double dealing
with himself. He reproached himself
without mercy:
"Muriel is my wife. She has my
faith and my honor. We are bound
together for life and cannot-must
not - be separated in mind and
thought. l must do my duty if /

These thoughts surged in his mind
as Bruce opened the door with his
latchkey. He made no noise and came
upon Muriel with a sheet Of paper
crumpled in her hand, the hard look
he so dreaded on her face.
"What is it, dear?" he asked, sur

have, for instance, with her clergy

Such calls are made during Of

Paris, Feb. 23.-The veritable 1880
gown today is offered here and there
for the evening. 1t is a full skirt
and n snug bodice and the neck is
bare and so are the tops of the
shoulders though there are small puff
sleeves.
Paris, Feb. 23.-Quilted fabrics are
gradually going out OF fashion today
in spite Of their great popularity; or,
rather because of it. Crepe effects,
however, are still i'll the height OF
their vogue. This is particularly true
Of crinkled silks of all kinds.

handsome gown worn here at fash

bodice a wide and irregular sirdle Of

match the dark blue crepe of the dress.
The resemblance was to fish scales
rather than petals but the effect was
