BY Henry and Tertius Van Dyke
Limits.

There is happy end to the man Of
peace.-Ps. 37:37.
Enough is not as good as feast
1t is far better.
There is something magical and
satisfying in the art of leaving off.
Good advice is infinitely more potent
when it is brief and earnest than
when it dribbles into vague exhorta-
tions.
Many a man has been worried into
vice by well-neant but wearisome
admonitions to be virtuous.
A single word of true friendly
warning or encouragement is more
eloquent than volumes of nagging
pertinacity, and may safely be spok-
en- and left to do its work.
After all, when we are anxious to
help a friend into the right path
there is not much more or better that
we can say than what Sir walter
Scott said, when he was a-dying, to
his son-in-l law Lockhart:
BE good man, my dear, be good
man"
The life must say the rest.
We often fancy, in this world, that
beautiful and pleasant things would
satisfy US better if they could be con-
tinued, without change, forever.
We regret the ending of good
DAY off"
We are sorry to be coming out of
the woods" instead of going in"
And that regret is perfectly natural
and all right.
1t is part of the condition on which
we receive our happiness.
The mistake lies in wishing to es-
cape from it by petrification of our
joys.

Again, the Button and Buttonhole
BY MARY MARSHALL

Ever since buttons were invented
to hold garments together the men
of the race have remained partial to
them. The first white men who set
tied this country wore clothes fas-
tened together with buttons and but
tonholes. and they have been faith
full to the button and pottonhole ever
since. Women have wavered. They
have used metal hooks and eyes, and
metal hooks with loops of cotton.
They have used various sorts of shap-
pers. or press-buttons. and they have
fastened their clothes together by
means of tied strings. Quite fire.
quently they have worn clothes so
constructed that a frock or bodice
would stay in place with the simple
staying of a single clasp pin.
Buttons and buttonholes have been
practically eliminated from up-to
date women's underclothes, and the
button and buttonhole on neglige
or nightgown is as rare as teeth in
a hens mouth.
Just why women have been less
fond of buttons than men is an in
teresting question. 1t might be that
since men do not have to sew on the
missing buttons, but from time out
of mind have left that work TO their
wCmenfolk, they can have no such
prejudice against them as have
women.
But women still wear buttons. The
point is that often these buttons
ire of merely ornamental value. They
fasten not, neither do they unfasten.
But often they add a desirable bit
of color or finish to a frock or wrap.
For several years our coats and wraps
have been innocent of buttons and
buttonholes. And now, by way of
tons up and down the front is con-
Sidered very smart. In fact, there are
froCks that button with buttons and
buttCnholeS.
The sketch shows one of these
frockS-in this case of white crepe
de chine with narrow horizontal
tucks, fastened at the left side by a
row of large crystal buttons.
Though there are still wraps and
coats of the sort that wrap around
and tie al one hip. there is an in
creaSing number of coats that but
ton down the middle of the front with
buttons and buttonholes. There are
tailored frocks Of the same sort. And
quite recently some charming lin
gerie has come over from France
that included dainty nightgowns that |
actually showed buttons and button
holes.

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gen1iini.

Today's aspects are not favorable.
and tend to promote feelings of dis
quiet and disappointment While it
is expedient to refrain from any un
usual activity, either commercial or
social, it will be necessary to make
demands on your will power to
counteract gloom or pessimism. Re-
member that clouds roll away, and
that the sun, as sure as night follows
day, will shine again.
A child born today will be normally
healthy, but it's character and dis
position will not be what you wish
1t to be, and its actions during youth
will cause hearache and worry. 1t
Will be great mistake to take this
condition too seriously, as it will only
be the ebullition of an agitated state
of mind. The child should be gently
yet firmly disciplined, and it should
be given responsible tasks at as early
an age as possible, and taught to be
self-reliant
If today is your birthday you are
always bemoaning your fate and
longing for something different from
that which you have, or to be unlike
what you are. This attitude is jus
tifiable if you have the ability and
energy to change the conditions that
cause your dissatisfaction. YOU how
ever, register your discomfort by
useless regrets, and Go nothing to at
tain what you imagine are your de-
sires.
This lack of appreciation of what
you have, and are, IS attributable to
your one-sided view of life. You look
only at the minority that has what
you desire and do not have, or at
the few whom you would like to, but
do not, resemble. For a change, con-
template the majority that has much
less than you; consider the many who
would like to be. but are not, like
you,
Dissatisfaction win ones lot is
futile unless it serves as an urge to
betterment; discomfort per Sc only
breeds unhappiness and causes an un-
healthy mind.
Well known persons born on this
date are Alvin Adams, merchant and
expressman, founder of Adams Ex
press Company; Jared B. F1agg,
clergyman and artist; Charles DENLY,
lawyer. soldier and diplomat; Wesley
Merritt, soldier, military governor of
the Philippine Islands; Cushman X.
Davis, statesman, senator and gov
ernor.

For washing baby's bottles,

Use small shot and be generous
with the soda and the bottles

BEAUTY CHATS
Outdoor Exercise.

I'm sure it seems superhuous to
most of my readers to advise fresh
air and exercise as means to real
beauty. Every one must know the
value of fresh air, sunshine and ply
Sical culture, Every one does, but
every one doesn't practice it.
Our girls colleges are doing a great
work through putting in sun parlors,
outdoor swimming pools and roof gar
denS with cots where the less robust
girls can lie for few hours daily in
the sun and air. and sleep or rest
Some colleges, on the advice of the
college doctors or the gymnasium
teachers, compel many of the girls TO
take this simple means to better
health. And it's splendid idea.
Sleeping porches are growing more
and more common. Thanks to the
propa ganda among newspapers and
magazines, and the suggestions of the
architects employed by these pub
locations. outdoor bedrooms are being
included in the plans of almost every
suburban and country house. It's
another little bit toward building up
the health of the nation. | wish the
