WOMAN’S PAGE.” 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- ful to the button and pottonhole ever since. Women have wavered. They have used metal hooks and eyes, and metal hooks with loops of cotton. v have used various sorts of shap- or press-buttons. and they have fastened their clothes together by means of tied strinss. Quite fre- 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 frém up-to date women's underclothes, and the button buttonhole on neglige or nightgown is as rare as teeth in a hen's mouta Just why women have been less fond of but than men is an in- teresting questic It might be that since men do not have to sew on the missing buttons, but from time out of mind have ieft that work to their wemenfolk, they can have no such prejudice against them as have wamen But women still wear buttons. The that often these buttons { merely ornamental value. They fasten not, neither do they unfasten en’ they add a desirable bit color or finish to a frock or wrap. veral years our coats and wraps have heen iznocent of buttons and buttanholes. And now, by way of variety, the coat that actually but- tons up and down the fromt is con- dered very smart.

Gemini. 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 mak demands on your will power to counteract gloom or pessimism. Re- member that clouds roil away, and that the sun. as sure as night follows day, will shine again. A child born today will be normally healthy, but its character and dis- position will not be what vou wish it to be, and its actions during youth will cause heartache and worry. It will be a great mistake to take this condition too serfously. 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 vour birthday you are always bemoaning your fate and langing 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 discontent by useless regrets, and éo nothing to at- tain what you imagine are your de- sires. This lack of appreciation of what you have, and are, 1s 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 witn one's lot is futile uniess it serves as an urge to betterment; discontent per se 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. Flagg, clergyman and artist; Charles Denby, lawyer, soldier and diplomat; Wesley Merritt, soldier. military governor of the Philippine Islands; Cushman K.

The Guide Post By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke Limits. There is a happy end to the man of peace—Ps. 37 Enough is not as good as a feast. It is far better. There something magical and satisfying in the art of leaving off. Good advice is infinitely more potent when it brief and earnest than when it dribbles into vague exhorta- tions. Many a man has been worried into vice by well-meant 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 murh more or better that we can say than what Sir Walter Scott said, when he was a-dying, to his_son-in-law Lockhart: Be a good man, my dear, be a good man.” The life mnst say thé rest. We often fancy, in this world, that Beautiful and pleasant things would matisfy us better if they could be con- tinued, without change, forever. We regret the ending of a good “aay off.” We are sorry to be “coming out of the woods" instead of “going In." And that regret is perfectly natural and all right. It is part of the condition on which we receive our happiness.

A superior furniture polish, which is inexpensive enough to admit of generous use in polishing floors and woodwork, can be made at home or prepared at a paint and oil store The ingredients are one-half each of benzine and rubbing oil, also known as finishing oil.

What <he does not tell us is that she sel- dom feels right or appropriately Aressed at anything. The fact of the matter is, that the distinction of the “best dress” fs largely passing out or women's ward- robes. This is partly dueto the revo- lutionary changes that have come about in the manufacture of mate- rials. There was a time in the early days of the country when silks sold for much more a yard than they do now, and a silk dress was supposed to last not only for many seasons. but for many years. It was, indeed, not an uncommon thing to bequeath a dress, just as one did a silver urn or other valued possesgion, and fre- quently the dress was valued at more than the silver. Few of our dresses would last to- day to hand down to the next genera- tion, even if they cared to have them, which they would not! ‘There are so many more fabrics on the market today from which to choose our ward- and with prices to suit every robes, purse, so that it is possible to have ays of old, and certainly the balance is all on the hygienic side, if not on the economy side of the ledger, in the fact that a garment no longer does duty from generation to_generation.

Just take evervthing as a matter of course In the first place, You gave it as a matter of course. The child wished for it, asked for it, and when he ar- rived ‘at home one day there it was. All he had to do was to take it and {use it. It came as easily as his breath and cost him just as much. He is not to blame for his lack of apprecia- tion. He has no basis vor It. In order to appreciate tne value of a thing in terms of money, and the work and self-denfal that gave value to the money, the child must have personal experience with all the ele- ments associated with it. He has to undergo the self-discipline of the work, and the sacrifice involved in using the money for another than himself. That is hot what you meant by ap- preciation? Then what can it be? You wanted him to thank you for the gift? He did—but that was from his lips only and you were dissatisfied. You wanted it from the spirit. You wanted him to comprenend the love that prompted you to labor and sac- rifice for his pleasure. Don't you see he cannot? Don't you know he must do the labor and he must suffer the sacrifice before he knows the mean- ing of it? And ism't that the very last thing you are willing to let him do? “Why should he work? T am will- ing to do it for him. Besides, he must attend to his lessons. That's more important to him than working and earning the money for his desires. All I want of him is a little apprecia- tion of what's being done for him." Then I'm afraid you want what he has not to give. Nonme of us, child or man, values in terms of humanity What we do not earn in those terms. We must be content to have it true for the children. Many things that we never had as children we give ours because they are a part of every- day liying and necessary for the com- plete llving of the children. Radios and phonographs and cars are every- day experiences for our youngsters, and because they are new to us we think they should be thrilled by their possession. They are not and they nnot be. CAfet us make up our minds that certain experiences and possessions are the inheritance of the children by right of birth, &nd dismiss all u{n of appréciation and thanks from the situation as we do when Wwe order thelr dinners and clothes. But lest y srow in ignofanée of the most important quality of their char- acters, loving acknowledgment of their parents’ sacrifice and care, let us make sure that they gain by ex- perience the knowledge of labor and sacrifice and service for others. ‘That must be done on the scale of Al ARERS as the high-brow writers say, when some little ho then all your phi 1lest eyes were ever seen. wisdom Will be turned into foolishness by and a little rose-bud mouth, and suddeniy of the damned and you will He has He may spend all « He 4088 not have to work hard unless he feels like i, hor He may tuke chun, He is wought aft to hostennes On the other hand, the merried man is a sluve (o his family.

Obviously, the woman who never travels does not need a traveling dress. The woman who never goes to places where peo- ple wear “decollete” gowns does not need to buy one. Of course, any gen- eralization in regard to the “average woman" is difficult. But nearly every woman has need for one smartly tai- lored suit, an afternoon dress, and for a dressier type of evening dress. Between this and the woman who must have several ultra-fashionable formal gowns at once, are diverse in- dividuals whose needs define them- selves. The important thing to re- member is that each costume, whether designed for the kitchen. the train the ballroom or the links, must be carefully selected for its special pur- pose Few clothes at a time and these distinctive. and the best that can be afforded, is the rule of every wom- an who understands the art of goqd dressing.
