Men crowd to thcao things, but tho women who tako tho trouble to do so can bo counted by two and three instead or by the hundred, as should bo tho case. At the last one I went to ono of the speakers who most Interested mo, talk ed on personal Initiative, and he Bel a high premium on it. "I'm Inclined to think that personal initiative haB more to do with business success than any other slnglo thing you cau name," ho said. "It's what wo aro all looking for. It meanB intelli gence aud courage iu about equal pro portion, it means a quick realization of what Is required of you and the gump tion to do it before the other fellow haB to prod you. It means the ability to take a hint and mako the most of it, to see the possibilities in any situ ation or opening, and not to let them pass you by. It means doiug the thing yourself, uot waiting to have the most of it done for you." I'd had a bunch of letters from girls that very day that brought this talk home to me. The letters wore from women who had read various suggestions of mine and who were attracted by them. Dut instead of going ahead and working out the details, instead of trying to dis cover how best to get to work In tho special circumstances and with tho special ability each had, they wanted me to tell them. They wanted to bo prodded each stop of the way. It was up to them to study the thiug out carefully with regard to tho applica tion it had for them. That was tho thing I couldn't do! But, not much! Tho suggestion, tho hint, was no good to them without planB and specifica tions. There was no shred of porson al initiative. Suppose, girls, you try to do it yourself. UY EDNA EUAN. NEVER know such a girl as Mlas Aubioy!" exclaimed u girl tho other day, as the sub ject of hor remark went out of tho front door of a woman's club. "Sho Is simply smothered In friends. You can never get her for half an hour nt n stretch. She has Ju gu and sen this one, or go homo to receive that out. I think there Is something rather weary ing in having such a number of peo ple always about one." "She Is a very delightful compan ion," another woman remarked. "Every ono likes her, aud I supposo she likes every one. At all events, people never sepm to boro her," "Walt," said tho first girl, "wait and see. They will soon, or I am very much mistaken. It Is all very well for n lit tle while, but when sho lisTs been Bot tled hero for a year or so, you will find hor wanting to drop some of theso people." V "I don't think so, She has always had a great many frlenda wherever she has lived," tho other woman an swored, handing her friend a fresh cup of tea, "Oh, Indoedl" exclaimed sho. "And la it permitted to inquire whethor sho corresponds with all theso ono-tlme friends, or whethor she has dropped them for a now set?" "I am not suro. ShnJias posnlbly dropped somo of thorn," was thu an swer, and then another visitor enter ing the room, tho conversation was changed. Lator in tho day, however tho words of tho first girl camo back to the older woman, and sho wondered how many of tho friends who had been so dear and so necessary to tho popular girl under discussion a fow months previ ously sho now corresponded with. From that tho older woman wont on rather naturally to a consideration of tho making and tho keeping of frlenda. Some of us mako so many, others make so few. Some people are so hard to mako friends with, and we discover, when It is too late, that they havo real ly been wanting to bo friendly all tho tlmo that they appeared to be avoiding our society. Lonely people hayo a way of erecting a kind of thorn hedgo be twixt themselves and the world about them, and then they wonder, not a lit tle plaintively at times, why no one is bravo enough to forco a passage through the prickles. There is the person who professes an undying friendship for you, and keepp It up for perhaps six months. Thero is, on the other hand, tho friend who never admits that he or she feels anything in particular for you who appears on the surfaco to be devoid of enthusiasm for you. There is, again, the objectionable in dividual, who Is friendly with a pur pose. This Is perhaps a bald way of putting It. but wo are, as a rule, only too painfully aware of this persou's ulterior motive In being so nice to ua, AVo do not like, If we are honest, to hoc him approach our door. We with, If the person happens to bo a womau, that sho would not always bo "drop ping In," but it Is hard to know when to bo rude enough to say "go away." Wo often doludo ourselves lu trying to bcllcvo well of this friend or ucquuiut ance. Wc try to think that he or she Is really disinterested in his or her efforts for friendship, but It is usually something of a failure. There Is another typo of this kind of friendship, or rathor of friend. This is tho person who uses people, not consciously, but all tho camo uses them, for hor own benefit. All tho way through tho lives of somo wo cau sco the person who has to bo madu use of sitting malting. A friend, this will ing helpor, and often one who Is quite uncousclouB of being used. Hut tho fact romnlns all tho same. And v.hou tho need for this friend or that has passed with tho years, what of tho friendship? Does it outlast tho period of usefulness or not? This deponds on tho user, but morn often than not tho friend is slowly but surely "dropped." It is as though wo took un orango and sucked It dry, and uftcr a tlmo tho empty skin would ba thrown away, having served its pur pose In proportion as wo uso somo friendships, bo they endure. Tho un dying affection of ouo schoolgirl for another Ib too lutenso to last. It has uo wearing power. The friends of a lifetime aro not those people we should address as "darling" on a postcard. Friendship Is a slow growth. It has its foundation in respect, and it Is knit together with the line, yet strong web of association. There can be no sud denness about it, If it Is the real thing; no easo, no haste. It comes creeping slowly, ofteu with difficulty, into our lives, growing from month to month a more porfect thing, becoming stronger, moro able to with stand tho tests which assuredly await It In the future, "Perfect knowledge Is perfect charity," aud friendship de pends very much on charity. Very many of our so-called friends aro merely acquaintances, and it may well happen that more than ono real friend is unrecognized by us because he makes no proclamation of his friend ship, o - nFi ERE is an idea for the luventive III slrl. It comes from London, IUJI and proves that the hatpin can bo something besides u telle of the inquisition, She who likes an odd touch of color and of originality In her own handiwork can now mold "sealing-wax" hatpins. Lovely now colors aro now found In sealing wax sticks of exquisite "hortensla" plnk, emerald green, llzzard green, gemlike put pies which aro captivating. Theso, softened and cunniugly modeled by tho wearer's own Augers, produce beau tiful results, and. too, artr puzzlliiK to the looker-on, who wonders of what substance tho hatpin heads are produced. II :::aas0 TT3 ggggg This is u practical item, given by one who has endured almoBt endless tor ture as a result of tondor feet and corns. To remove tho corns, soal: tho feet In tepid suds. Soap a toilet puin Ico and rub over tho corns until the chIIouh parts uro worn off, Contluuo this every day imtll the corn disap pears. Keep It siift with oils. If tho corn is too sora in tho beginning for this treatment, apply turpentine for several days to kill tho pain. If tho fcot aro afflicted with soft corns, pow der prepared chalk, without making It too flno, and sprinkle between the toes, This does not absorb the moisture or become caked llko talcum powder, and by belug coarser thau the powdor It separatorthe two portions of tho corn, Always uso white wool n proferonco to cotton to placo between or under tho toes, because It is springy and will not harden llko cotton. Oils and tonics should never bu used ou a child's hair. Cleanliness uud tho mother's conscientious earn In tho mutter of brushing, trimming and dressing will insure its beauty for lator years. To shampoo a llttlo girl's hair, uso warm and pure soap suds. Lather tho head well and rub gently, always remembering that tho skin is more tender than a grown person's. Iet the child sit In a low-backed chair, hor back to tho bowl. Her head thrown back, her hair falls in the basin. Illnso thoroughly, gradually cooling the water. Wring the hair gently with your hands, then dry with hot towels, rubbing so that the strands will uot be unnecessarily tangled. A sun bath next is good. Wrap the child up warm ly so that she will not take cold. Do uot let her sit In a draught. While It may bo questioned whethor any powdor is entirely harmless, a cel ebrated skin specialist recommends this formula for face powder: IJIco flour, six ounces, rice starch, six ounces; carbonate of magnesia, threo ounces; pulverized boric acid, ono and a half ounces; powdered orrla root, one and a fourth drams; essence of citron, fifteen dropa; essence of berga mot thirty drops. Mingle the essences with tho magnesia and then smoothly nib all together. Apply the powder over u light coating of cold cream well massaged Into thu skin und put it on generously, so that it may sink In. Then, before- going out, wipe off tho superfluous white with a soft cloth. In this way the powdor Is kept on und tho sklu protected from wind and dust. To teduco a double chin uud to tighten tho muscles which havo be como looseuod lu u Hubby neck, try this simple but efficacious exorclso: Throw tho head back as far as it will go, drawing tho muscles taut. Now turn tho head slowly us far to tho right as it will go, then as far to the loft. Hopeat ten times, increasing na ou become accustomed to tho strain. Dathlng tho nock frequently with u plccu of ice Is excellent for kcoplng the tlcsh tlrm and for removing flab-blness. For any Inflammation of the oyo which comes on suddenly cold water soothes tho pain, Aftor poralatunt trouble vory hot water will lolleve tho pain and reduce the swelling. The eye cup Is tho most convenient way of bathing tho eye, for the eyeball la washed directly. Tho mouth of tho oyo cup Is oval, which fits around tho eye ut tlio margin of tho orbit. Tho oyo may bu opened Into tho lotion, A weak solution of boruclo acid, ',) per cent, may bo safely utied. The acid must be fresh and clear, however; tears aro tho natural method of cleansing this organ. For softening rough or euaue skin on tho hands common, yellow rornmeal Is an oxcullont cure. It should bu mixed lu tho proportion of one ounce of orris root, powdored, to u pound of meal. To apply It tho hands should bo washed as usual, taking euro to use a soap that Is not drying; then tho meal la poured into ono hand and thin Is rubbed over the other with tho same motion used iu washing, using agatu the grains that should have fallen on u towel, box, etc, until tho sklu is qulto dry. The operation is much more thorough In Its drying effect than can bo secured with u towel uud tho action of tho meal is bouoilciul. COMFORT IN FASHIONS m wittj. KINOSLE. LIKE from tho practical and the plcturesquo point of viow it may bo well to congratulate, ourselves upon tho prospect which Is offered by tlio now fashions for tho autumn and winter Heason. On all sides a spirit of reasonableness prevatls, whllo cortaln rogrettablo vul garities und exaggerations which pre vailed not bo vory long ago havo van ishod entirely, never to return. In their placo thero are long flowing lines, full skirts which leave to the wearer a most desirable and delight ful freedom of movemnnt, cozy fur roats which can bo fastened up close ly ut tho throat when occasion re quires. Two typical walking costumes wer seen a fow days ago, designed for tha winter season, one Intended for ordi nary ovcry-day wear, and the other for smart occasions. In tho case of both theso gowns, however, the coata are carried out on novel lines, and mado very much longer than those which wero worn this tlmo last year, while the skirts remain exceedingly full and yet sufficiently short for porfect com fort when walking. Flno navy milting Is the fabrlo chosen for making that novel coat and skirt which la trimmed with black silk military braid. The upper part of the cout tits closely to tho figure, while the basques aro vory wide and full. Three straps of broad military braid, held In placo by crochet silk buttons, adorn tho frout of the coat, while ut tho waist thoro uro crossing straps of sorge trimmed lu tho Bamo way with braid. Threo rowa of braid In graduated widths, appear also on tha lowor part of tho coat, uud aro repeated on the full skirt and also on the cuffs. Hecognlilng this fault, some of tho deslgucrs havo arranged the collar bo that from a high, close, velvet chokor It may bo unbuttoned und turned over into u lace faced, rolling collar. Thero are quantities of three-plecn velvet coutumes with short coats reaching only a llttlo wuy below tho wutst line and either belted or vory loose und daring; and there aro, too, innumerable velvet frocks that have no accompanying cout. These frocks may bo or tho elaborate sort, part chif fon or laco or silk much trimmed, or almost uutrlmmed, save for mere touches of fur or embroidery and but tous, mado, lu fact, with almost exag garatcd simplicity, but with careful attentlou to Hue. It is curious to note, the revival of fanciful velvet aud sllkeu fabrics, al so tho flno cloths lu the shades of our grundmo'thers, either trimmed with ribbou bands, pluked-out ruches, or fur edglugs. " Velvet is tho material used for the beautiful evenlug cloak, Tho luxurious folds of roso pauno velvet that fall from the shoulders and form roomy sleeves are a distinctive feature- of this elaborate evculng rap. Tassels In self-colored silk lwl iv fin ishing touch and tho lanw gray fox collar comblues beautifully with th ros velvet.
