Yet she is wrong. for more reasons
than one. To begin with it is, of
course. demoralizing to the character
OF a child to permit its qualification at

family. Deep down underneath hr
vanity the girl knows she is selfish and

to dress her daughter well.
If motheers would talk this over

sacrifice on the daughters part. so that
they might all dress well as the
family purse permits, a general at
nosphere of cooperative effort might
result. Girls do not have to wear ex-
pensive clothes to look dainty and
chic; they do not have to wear the

something pretty to wear will bring
its own satisfaction, if only she is
taught how to be unselfish.

Many a woman who speaks quite
smugly of her "Jacobean" room has
little conception of the significance
of the phrase which she perhaps
ferent types of furniture.
First of all, it may aid you in your
understanding of the period and its
furniture to know that the deriva-
tion of the term "Jacobean" is from
the word "Jacobus,' which is Latin
for James-in this case that James
of England and Scotland who gives
his name to the period, even though
it is of much longer duration than
was his reign.
You will not find it an easy task
to learn to recognize Jacobean fur
niture, for it is of all kinds-ornate,
not so ornate, and downright simple.
This is because, though elaborate
Tudor and Elizabethan types of fur
niture were still popular when James
came to the throne, the puritanical
Cromwell later changed. for the
time. the entire trend of fashion.
substituting the extremely simple
for the ornate and pretentious
Probably your greatest confusion
will come from the resemblance of
Jacobean furniture to Italian Renais-
sance and Flemish furniture. And
you will be able to judge what is

which differentiate it.

Passing Fashions.
By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke

The fashion of this aUidr 1corid Pass
eth daidy.-l Cor .nthian 81.
one Of the fascinations Of looking
over old albums or magazines is to
notice the changes that are always
taking place in peoples manners and
customs and dress
What contrast there is between
the pictures of the young soldiers
that went to war in 1S61-5 and those
that went in the great war
How different were the formal two
hour discourseS of the early nine
teenth century from the swift incisive
sermons of today
Contrast Addison's Spectator
with a modern newspaper; or Shake
speares plays with a modern dramatic
success,
fiux. In such things variety is the
spice of life We need change and
we deliberately cultivate IL
But underneath these surface things
human life is the same.
The boys of 81 were of the same
stuff as those of 1918.
The formal discourse and the swift
sermon deal with the same Gospel.
The Spectator" and the modern
journal are both newspapers.
Shakespeare and the modern dra-
matists are both dealing with the
eternal tragedy and comedy of hu-
man life.
The fashion of this world is pass
ing away every year.
Then why spend so much time over
what is temporary?
why not get down under the sur
face scheme to the eternal NcritieS
which never pass away?
One of the sins for which we shall
have to answer some day is that Of
frivoling away over fashions what We
ought to spend on realities.

Today's aspects are rather ad-
verse during the early part Of the
day, but improved after midday; the
betterment is maintained and they
become and continue excellent later
on. During the morning, it will be
adversable to think and to plan,
without actively engaging in any spe-
cial line of endeavor; in the after
noon, your thoughts can be translated
into action, and your plans executed
A child born today will be very
amenable to either parental or out
side influences; it will also be quite
susceptible to nattery. Its health will
not cause much anxiety; it's tempera-
ment. however, will require careful
treatment. 1t must, to be happy and
successful, be surrounded during
childhood with a good environment,
and every effort must be made to
render it immune from any contami-
mating and evil atmosphere 1t must
also be taught the fundamental diff
ferences between well deservd praise
and idle fiattery.
If today is your birthday you could
secure much more happiness and OBJ
tain greater success Il you could
overcome the unfortunate habit you
possess Of begrudging other peoples
fortune and of failing to concede
good motives or impulses to their ac-
tions. You are not generous, either
in thought or in deed; as result of
this weakness, in an otherwise per-
fectly good character. your nature is
becoming grabbed and your disposi-
tion uncharitable.
The best prescription for the cure
of these symptoms is furnished by
Henry Van Dyke. who says: IF YOU
are looking for that which is best in
those with whom you come in contact;
if you are seeking also to give them
that which is best in yourself; if you
are looking for a friendship which will
help you to know yourself as you are,
and to fulfill yourself as you ought to
be; if you are looking for love which
shall not be a fiattering dream and a
madness of desire. but a true COM
radeship and a mutual inspiration to
all nobility Of living, then you are
surely on the ascending path

With the direct. clean-cut pre-
