18 WOMAN'’S PAGE. Don Simply Tailored Cloth Suits BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE In the vocabularics of some word- along with aboo.

The low closing with three ; buttons and the impertinent little E 5 i i pockets give it decided sm “ ‘The sleeves are close-fitting and cuff- less, and the notched collar flat and well tailored. Alw these smart little suits the closing is held by three buttons and button- holes placed fairly low. Sometimes— usually here—the jacket is cut very straight, but many of the tailored suity in Parls are cut with a slight curving in at the waist—at a rather low-placed waist line, to be sure. Whatever the blouse or the collar thereof. there is always seemingly a scarf of some sort, though sometimes isis worn pendent from the crooked arm rather than draped around the throat. The hat worn with one of these new tallored suits must, of course, be small—just at present the small cloche still leading in choice. — e Date and Walnut Cake. Chop one cupful of shelled walnuts and one cupful of dates, beat the volks of four eggs and roll two table- kpoonfuls of bread crumbs fine. Add one cupful of powdered sugar to the ts, the dates and the eggs, then add the bread crumbs and two teaspoon- fuls of baking powder. Heat the whites of the eggs well and add to the other ingredients. avor the mixture with vanilla, pour into tw. pie plates and bake in a_moderate oven for twenty minutes.

Shows How Il Health May Be Just Stealing To Be Sick When You Might Be Well is Dishonest *lain O vou ever think that it is dishonest to be sick when you might be well? It is just plain stealing. And it is the most despicable form of petty ¥, because it is robbing those who love you and trust you and who are defenseless against you. They can- not lock up their svmpathies, their peace of mind, their personal service, their money, safely from your pilfering. Of course, who are really ill of their own. they a smitten down by some terrible disease, and they deserve all that we can give of pity and help as they go stumbling down the agonized Wway to the grave. These words are not for them, but for that multitude of men and women with whom sickness is mere- 1y a graft, a cam or selfish- ness, and a bla excu: with which they cover 11 their sins of omission and commission, and that furnishes them a per t alibi for doing everything they want to d and leaving undone those things| which they do not wish to do. Ninety per cent of all the sickness in the world is voluntary, or at least contributory negligence. People are sick because the are not willing to make the sacri s to keep well. lare way there are many peopl Through no fault { DOROTHY DIX. el Curiously enough, they justify themselves by claiming that their own health is a personal matter. 1¢ T make myself sick, I am the one whe has to suffer.” they say this were true, far be it from the balance of us to Interfere with t pleasures. But it isn't true. No man or woman is sick to himself or her: alone. We have to listen to their groans. We have to minister to them. We have to do their work. We have to pay the doctor's bills. We hav 10 put up with their irritability and unreason because sickness i to give people carte blanche to do and say all the things that well people, do not dare to do or say. . When ill health is an act of God, as shipping manifests say, and therefore beyond our control, it is one thing. When it is the result of weak self-indulgence it is another thing. Our sympathies and our assistance go out to the victim of tuberculosis or cancer, but we have nothing but contempt for the glutton who keeps himself sick from over- eating. g I, EVERY business house where women are emploved there is sich a large percentage of them absent from work on account of sickness, especially during the winter, that the question is often ralsed whether the delicate feminine constitution can stand the strain of commercial life Stuff and nonsense! It isn't the work that Is hurting the girls. It is ihe way they dress and live. They feel that they have a perfect right to risk bad colds and pneumonia by coming to work on rainy, sloppy, sleety days in paper-soled satin pumps and chiffon stockings, and with not enough clothes on to keep an icicle warm. They consider it their own affalr if they prefer to xpend their money on an imported hat instead of on nourishing food. They think that if they come to the office with a nervous headache that makes them blind and stupid with pain, and that was brought on by too many nights of successive jazzing, it iS a matter between them and the aspirin Lottle alone. But it isn't. They are not glving their employers a square deal. They are not giving them the services they pay for. They are upsetting the ‘routine of the office, and laying the burden of their work on the shoulders of other people. Look at the invalid wives you know! Dozens of them who have brought nervous prostration on themselves by overwork, or too many clubs and causes, or too much society. Don’t we all know women who go on orgles of housecleaning, or dressmaking, though they know perfectly well that every such debauch is going to end up in a spell of sickness that will call for doctors and trained nurses? Don't we know women who wear themselves to tatters over church fairs and club campaigns? Don't we know women who play bridge every day until they are so nervous that they become unbearable at home and whose husbands have to send them ©off to sanatoriums to get a little peace and rest themselves? We do. We marvel that these women never stop to consider how they defrauding their families, They mever consider what & wickosn st thing je is to deprive a husbund and children of a healthy, strong aeite and mother, and give them a neurotic, irritable, cross, nervewreckod creature, who makes their home about a8 cheerful as a graveyaupC s in which they have always to walk softly and speak in wh g o ot disturbing the lads who has just gone to bed with & neuralgia hogna e HEN there is the large army of women who enjoy po professional invallds for the simple reason lhu'lI?fip';q;‘:n(lrs(’:'l“Vh? ket Indolent to make the effort to be \well ? gtvand hey are quitters who literally take life lying dow ; small ailments.

Dropping, dropping, dropping still— A squirrel chatters in the tree: A jovial band of chickadees Loiters and passes on A nuthatch pauses at the rill, With little squeaks to drink his fill, And then is gone. Still drops that lightly dripping tone From an invisible source, until, Guided, it seems, by chance alone, _ The seeking eyes their quest fulfill Now high, now low. the midget flies, From willow base to maple crest And back to earth, with ceaseless zest; Exploring, poising hummer-wise— A happy spirit of unrest.
