A SIMPLE STYLE OF WRITING 18 LUCID AND THIS INCREASES ITS BEAUTY. Then, as they grow older and life begins to ?nu upon their minds, with its mul- tiplicity of concerns, it daasles and con- fuses them. Few adults retsin their Ol'w::'l‘ youthfyl charm of simplicity. you come to censider things in the light of this characteristic of sim- plicity, it is discovered to be one of the rarest virtues. Think of it in the terms of costuming. A gown that has the charm of simplicity has had evn‘donu of its making worked out to the highest point. Each bit of ornamentation that does not contribute to perfection of line, contour and chaste severity is elim- inated. There is no chance about such simplieity. So difficult is it to acquire that, when attained, the prices soar. In interior decoration simplicity is the element to se2k. It is true that there are different kinds of decorative sim- plieity, varying according to the period. For instance, French Louis XVI deco- ration would be ornate compared with Jacobean, but in each there can be its own style of simplicity. To one embel- lishments prevail, to the other they are Rot essentials. However. decorative sim- Pplicity is a study in itself. @implieity of style is something au- jtrive for.

This is assuming that/ grammatically ‘ve paragraph is cor- ness in different forms. For example, a frock that has too many frills, poorly placed or too many ornaments is termed ‘fussy.’ No woman wants a fussy frock. A room that lacks simplicity of deco- ‘rlflofl is said to be “stuffy.” It is over- furnished. Writing that is full of ad- jectives or in which a subject is pom- | pously treated is called grandiose. It is amusing where it tries to be impressive. Acting that is too full of gestures and | mannerisms is termed overacting. In each instance cited, the cure is sim- plieity. Simplicity is something to hold fast to if you have it, and to study to get into the things you make or whatever u may do. s Y 9% copyrient, Cherry Pot Pie.

[0 HEN I was a girl,” said an attractive woman the other day, “I used to look forward to marriage as a sort of Elysium in which I could give up all the work and worry and struggle and trials and tribulations of trying to make myself attractive to men, and just let myself slump the balance of my life. “‘Ha!" T would say to myself of & night as I put my hair up in curlers and rubbed in the cold cream and the skin food. and did my daily dozen, ‘no more of this torture for me after I am married. Then I am going to have the stringy hair and the saleratus-biscuié complexion, and be just as homely as T was made. “‘Hum-um,” I would say to myself at the table as I counted my calories with the hungry tears dimming my eyes, ‘no more of this starvation businei in order to keep a boyish figure, for me after I am married. Then I am going to eat all the whipped cream and mayonnaise and chocolate creams and gooey desserts that I want, and if I get to be a perfect 46 it won't make a bit of difference, for I'll have my man. “‘And oh, me, and oh, my, won't it be perfectly grand not to have to be always breaking your neck to please some man, and keep him interested and fascinated, and to have to be reading up on the subjects he is dotty over and that you don't care a rap about?” ‘I would say to myself as I swallowed a yawn while attempting to hold a thrilled expression while some man monologued to me about the stock market, or the grocery trade, or whatever he was doing. ‘How restful it will be to be married and have a husband that you don't have to jolly or keep amused and to be able to read the six best sellers because you like 'em, and not something to improve your mind.' “But alas, and alack, T hadn't been married very long before T discovered that my artless and unsophisticated ideas about matrimony were all wet. I also discovered that while it is easy to catch a husband, it is hard to hold one, and the woman who does it has to be on her job all the time, and that there is no place between the altar and the grave in which she can sit down and take it easy and feel that she is safe. “That settled my delusion that marriage was going to emancipate me from the permanent wave apd the cosmetic jars. For, you see, one of the reasons that my husband had picked me out as a wife was because T was a good looker. and it sort of dawned en me that if I failed to deliver the goods he might Tegret his bargain. “I eouldn't see.that getting married had aficted him with any astigmatism that would prevent his taking note of the feminine pulchritude that was always aboyt him, and I had the hunch that if I let myself get fat and flabby and dowdy, and went about looking as if I were in need of a shampos and a manicyre, he eould but compare me invidiously with the snappy little flappers in his ofice and the lovely ladies he met eut in scciety, and wonder what made him do it ‘SBo I am still eutting eyt all the rich feod I like to eat and putting on my complexion and delling myself up when I would like to be lounging around in a kimeno, and I have takem up in a serioys way weman's eternal problem of and beautiful that I will spend the balance of my life trying Tealize that every wife has competition to meet nowadays, snd if she can't do it, she is sunk.” DOROTHY DIX.

Tt is not difficult to learn to use an eyebrow pencil, and the knowledge Is very useful. Most women use the pen- cil too heavily, and make their eye- brows thick &nd unnatural looking, whereas a light touch of color added here and there is all that is necessary. The shape and color of thelr eye- brows add so much to the value of the eyes that the whole subject is worth a | lot of study. On the whole, eyebrows that are thin, or rather, that make a thin arch, give lightness and animation to the expression. Long eyebrows make the eyes seem larger. above the eyes give sweetness and serenity to the face. nothing to a feeling of force of charac- ter. But heavy, low-set eyebrows do give this impression. 80 a woman who has a weak face can improve herself wonderfully, if she shapes her eyebrows, by thinning them from above. And a heavy-featured face, or one with a discontented expression, | or just a dull, uninteresting face, looks | better if the brows are thinned from underneath, to set them higher, The eyebrow pencil can be used to make the brows darker, in which case it is rubbed lightly over the whole length, and the color is worked into the individual hairs by pinching and pressing them together with the fingers. The color must be on the hairs, not. the skin. If it goes on the skin, the eye- brows at once look painted. The pen- eil should be laid on a little more heav- ily toward the outer edge of the eye- » Rid Your Home OF Flies » » Spray Dethol—flies won't bother you any more.

GUNN. Materialism. “So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."— Luke, xii.21. Like the man in the parable—that certain rich man whose felds brought forth plentifully, and whose barns were stored with much goods, and who thought he had reached the time when | he could eat and drink and take life easy, but to whom just at that time came that startling voice in the still-| ness of the night, saying, “Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; &en whose shall those things be| which thou hast provided?”—so is| every one “that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.’ But how hard it is to turn men from this false conception. Talk to them about the supremacy of the spiritual over the material, and they will read- ily concede all you say. Warn them against worldly-mindedness and ava- rice, and they will not dispute your premise. But so far as their practical life is concerned all their planning and all their doings run in the very oppo- site direction. 8ense and flesh tend to make us feel that temporal and material things are | the best. The commercial spirit of our| time powerfully reinforces this ten-| dency. Indeed, the increase of wealth, the growth of luxury and the general materialistic drift of our age threaten | us with a perior when not only religious thought will fail but when the very, conception of God, all idealism, all that is unseen, all poetry and philosophy, all the nigher incentives and enthusiasms, will be scouted among men. Oh that some prophet of the eternal might appear with the power and voice to turn us back to God and save us from the peril of materialism. Seasoning. Green pea pods, usually thrown away, although they cost as much per pound as the peas, can be added to the stock pot if they are young and fresh and green. Wash them and put them in with the other ingredients. When the pods have stewed down to & pulp put | the contents of the stock pot through a sieve. The liquid will be a good green color, and with a seasoning of salt and pepper will provide an excellent basis for gre pea or oxtail soup. @ Forthe BLONDE BEDTIME STORIE Jim Crow’s Eyes Are Opened.

All the time the other Crows had been telling him about the joys of freedom and independsnce. It was early in the afternoon that Jim Crow had gone away with the other Crows. After a while he grew hungry. Now, Jiam Crow hadn’t had to hunt for his ewn food since he was hatched. First, his father and mother had pro- vided food for him and then Farmer Brown's Boy had seen to it that he neger was hungry. e other Crows evidently were hun- gry at about the same time, and it was proposed that they go get something to eat before bedtime. So the flock flew over to the Green Meadows and there they scattered, each one looking for something to eat.
