tha edges, apd neckties grow soiled, and
coa's and hats shiny, just as fast as
ever when one is out or work as when
one is ln employment; and sometimes
even faster, owing to tha wearing of
tha best in celebration of the enforced
holidays. Then the stomach cries out
for three meals a day, and there, must
be soma spot , where the hat may hang
up, and there is usually a landlady.
But the only reason for referring to
all this is that you may be encouraged
to keep a steady head on your shoul
ders and have a little thought as to
certain proprieties. For instance, it is
?oor taste, is It not, to boast of your
lna Job and prospect of promotion be
fore the youth who Is living from hand
to mouth during this shutdown season,
and who is twice as skillful as you are?
It is poor policy, too, to smile or to
wink an eyelid when some applicant
for work is politely shown the door.
And it is very poor citizenship to ba
flippant or daring or too conspicuous ln
extravagance, or to make a smart re
mark where men are lined up anywhere,
either for food or tha hope of selection
for -labor. .
In tha main, you are rather adapta
ble to conditions, son: you are a Judge
of times and seasons in tha way of pro
priety in Jest and Joke; and you gen
erally know whan you may shirk a lit
tle ,at your tasks and whan you must
keep your sleeves rolled up in earnest
Still, you are too much of a Yankee to
let pass by any real good chanca for
fun or gibes, and ln ordinary times, this
is all Hght -
But hearts are sensitive these days
and feelings are easily wounded; more
over, you are not a fixture. Be care
ful, or you will be put back where you
belong and at a lower figure!
Oh, Oh!
From tha San Antonio Express;
"Do women dress to please men?"
Inquires a contemporary. Well, at any
rate, their dresses vary seldom please

Five hundred and fifty dollars has

Antlmacus butterfly.
By Mrs, John AK togan.
IT IS TOO much to txpect that tha
tlmo will aver coma when all women
wlll act with wisdom and cease to
ba tha victims of fashion's fads, but
It Is surprising that In this ago of
Intelligence and culture of woman there
could ba found so many who would
adopt the extremes of fashion as ex
emplified by the ."Merry Widow Hat"
and tha "Sheath Gown." Both ara such
preposterous exaggerations ' of tha ar
ticles of woman's apparel which they
represent that they suggest escaped lu
natics or that their wearers ara fit sub
jects for incarcerations in asylums for
the insane.
Tha wearers of these ridiculous fads
must realise that they attract unenvia
ble attention and unfavorable comment
from all observers, A woman who haw
not thrown all her modesty to tha winds
Should hesitate to wear a hat that ln
too wide for an ordinary doorway and
that must inconvenience those near her.
They have been seen with hats so broad
from rim to rim of the brim that two
ladles so chapeaued could hardly sit in
the same seat in the cars or in a car
riage without disagreeably . scraping
against each other. .
The sheath gown is something- dis
gusting and Hsuredly belongs to wo
men who tre,d the boards of a stage '
and who are not over modest in expos
ing the outlines of their natural or
artificial figures. The wonder is that
good women will follow styles that are
invariably started by others of ques-
tlonablo character, No . pure-minded
diffident - woman ever conceived any
thing so vulgar as the r.iieath gown and
it is regrettable that any woman of re
finement should have copied the vagar
ies of the recklessly inclined.
A desire for novelty h.v- led many
women into absurdities o t'.ivss. They
Ignore the fact that anything bordering
on the ulrar is dangerously near the
preposterous line and is afways affected
by frivolous persons who have little .
brains and whose vanity carries them
to extremes.
The costumes of women of refine
ment and good taste are not often cop
ied by the fashionable class. They ore
not showy enough and fall to please the
fancy of vulgarians who revel in strik
ing colors and startling creations in
hats and gowns.
A modiste once said: "There Is a
streak of barbarism in most people and
they usually betray it ln their dress.
Many are color blind and nave no Idea
of the amaslng combinations they some
times Insist upon introducing In their -dress.
As for hats, the war bonnet of
an Indian chief is tame beside tha hats -they
would wear If their friends or mil
liners did not prevent them."
It is an Interesting study to watch ,
an assemblage of women. Sometimes
in a company of fashionables you will
see women decked out in all the colors
of the rainbow, their hats and gowns
being fearfully and wonderfully made
ln atyles that are unlike anything ever
worn before by any female since Eve .
constructed tha famous garment out of
fig leaves.
My advioe to Woman young and old,
is to avoid extremes of fashion, gaudy
colors or extravagances of any kind.'
If you are plain, ultra styles and glar
ing colors only serve to emphasise your
plainness. The beauty of face or form
was never enhanced by trying colors or
style of dress.

Beware of

THB human soul is a plant of
