decided TO move to outlying territory,

acres, north of Rhode Island avenue

Happiness in Days Events
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

| has reason to appreciate that they
already have II, That is. Ii we have
a loving family we are among those
| really blessed with positive powers
of happiness: IL we have health, ii
we have friends. if we have a work
that we enjoy. if we have privileges
of gratifying a taste for literature,
for the artistic things. for music. for
travel, etc. we have a measure OF
happiness that should be recognized.
Magnetic Power.
These things conspire to create the
state of mind known as that of happi-
ness. 1t is amazing the power that
even a small magnet Of happiness
has. 1t draws happiness toward us.
1t is well worth giving the magnet
a chance to show us what it can do
if we are happiness hungry.
Moments Gifts.
But of what avail is all this if we
do not recognize it at the time? Abso.
lutely nothing as far as actual
pleasure is concerned. We may be
negatively happy. but that is far from
positive happiness. To be negatively
happy means nohing more than that
we are without an acute sense OF
misery. either mental or physical, and
that we passively accept this situation
or condition. Such happiness Is bet
ter than distress. but it savors more
of a lack of Indebtedness than an
apprecia ton of happiness.
Truant Guest.
There is something feeting as well
as winsome about happiness. Few
realize that it means something here
and now. not something past or some
thing to come. We may have happy
memories to revive. That is remem-
brance. And we may have anticipa-
ton Of happiness to come. that Is
anticipation. Dwelling on such things.
making them a part Of the NOW"
in our thoughts. makes us happy at
the moment. The thing that we call
happiness is of the fiber of things
present. Our knowledge that we have
il is imperative. 1t Is this realization
that is just as essential as the things
themselves which conspire TO create
the supreme joy Of happiness. We
may have great reason for happiness
and not know it. There are few
things in life more pitiable than this.
Let us rejoice to recognize happiness
and to revel in it as We glimpse it
here and now.

Well. the poor doctor made a fair

much. for it Is well known that the
pain Of gastric or duodenal ulcer Is
periodic and SO is the pain Of various
other internal troubles. But vague
periodic pains In the upper abdomen

Hazardous Game of Fashions

dressmakers in Paris do not create
the fashion-and no one would be
more willing to admit 1t than the
distinguished dressmaker himself-or
herself.
Once upon a time when I was very,
very young and had never been be-

dressmakers and designers made the
fashions. / had a vague sort of idea
that the artists that made the pic
lures for the paper pattern cata-
logues just sat down and made pretty
pictures of any sort of frock that
popped into their heads-and that
was all there was to it.
The most you can say is that the
great dressmaker proposes and wonl'

women were likely to approve. You
have no idea-unless you have been
behind the scenes-what a compli-
Gated, nerve-racking, hazardous game
it is to design new clothes.
Quite often the dressmakers pull
one way and women pull another.
You know perhaps how hard the mil
liners have been trying to revive
deliberately trimmed hats. Simply
and frankly, there was just about no
profit at all in the simple untrimmed
hats that women favored. The really
wise milliner knows that women Will
wear fancy hats exactly when they
choose, and not a bit sooner.
We hear a great deal about the
efforts of the French dressmakers to
revive elaborate and elegant fashions.
1t would mean better business, and
many of them feel that the very SIM
pie type of frock has run its course
and the time really Is ripe for a
