He had made up his mind ne.e to eultivate such a thing “Feelings, my dear sir,”” he explaine! are the greatest worries of life. What makes a man fall in love with a girl wh hasn't a penny but feelings? What causes him to make a fool of himself and lose innumerable chances? Why, I know a score of folk who would be riding in |« their cesviages today if it hadn't been for their feelings. Feelings are extrava feelings were remarkably acute, but they were all centered on himself. When a young lady complained to Lord Beaconsfield that an acquaintance had described her as a ‘“heartless person,'” she was, no doubt, delighted to hear his first words. “Nonsense, my dear young lady. You heartless? Absurd! I have never known & heartless person yet. But I have known those whose hearts were wholly set upon themselves.” But the smale faded from her face as she waited for him to say that she was not one of them. He didn't. Lord Bea- consfield was a gentleman who could be remarkably disagreeable at times. The fact 8 we all have hearts, and they must be filled with feeling of one kind or another. Nature abhors a vacuum. We can’'t have them empty, but with what they will be filled with depends a great deal upon oureelves. One of the wisest men who ever lived wrote the following advice some thousends of years ago, and it is one of those pleces of advice that keep—are as good today as ever they were. Truth keeps fresh. His advice was that ome should ‘keep one's heart with all diligence.” He was not one of thosé people who advise you te do a thing that cam't be donme, or that isn't worth doing. “You ocan make up your mind as to what you are going to set your heart on in Ufe,” sald Samuel Smiles. “And how it is set means what your life will.be." It seems an enormous difference aa re- gards happiness. One cannot be sure of success in amassing money or in olimbing the ladder to high places, but success in happiness, the result of hav- ing one's heart “in the right place,’ is uncommonly hard to miss if one cares for it. The world pays a more universal hom- age to kindness and good nature than it does to anything else. Bluing and Bleaching The use of bluing is really an attempt to deceive the eye, to which a light blue appears whiter than a light yellow. Were it possible to have pure water, unlimited | sunshine, and ajr free from dust, clothes | would not need to be blued. Most of the tluings on the market contain iron, which in time produces a yellowish discoloration of the clothes. The indigo used by our grandmothers was preferable to modern | bluings on account of being a vegetable ompound, and it is still sold by first | class stores.

Tn matehing ohiffon any material with a changeable silk it is best to ravel a small plece of the silk. and match the chiffon to the raveling, as in this way the colors will blend harmoniously The chiffon dress is edged with silver fringe, which hangs slightly below the underskirt. A good idea when putting the lace on the chifon drop skirt is to attach it with machine hemstitching; much time will be saved and a more The Habit By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. When you ask yourselt the question, “Am T easily lrritated?" the anewer will be ‘‘yes,” unless you are the hundredth individual following ninety-nine irritable, excitable, uncontrolled humans. #miling when everything goes wrong is & beautiful and much to be desired accomplishment. Smiling when things g0 fairly wrong ought to be atmple enough—and fsn't. Most of us confess with a laugh that fan't as shamefaced as it ought to be that we “fiy off the handle” very easily. And it does not occur to us that that confession marks us as being illogical, weak and rather unpleasant, individuala with whom to assoclate. Self-control is to a large extent & matter of habit. I know a girl who when she had nothing in particular to be eheerful about deliberately tried the experiment of curling her mouth up at ‘the eorners. Now, when you are curling your mouth up at the corners you are arranging yeur face into a little mutomatic smile. And when you are smiling physioally you are inducing the mental state of smiling. The girl who arrenged her face into a smile because she thought it the wisent way to look at trouble aetually taught herself a cheerful frame of mind with which to meet difficulty. She de- Iiberately chose her weapon. Now, ocartainly facing trouble chger- tully ought to be no harder than facing irritation amiably. But the most of us excuse ourselves for the excitabllity with which we face petty frritation by saying, “Oh, I could | much more easily endure a real trouble. Its just this constant stream of annoy- ances that 1 oan’t endure.” But the constant stream of annoyance we say we oan't endure is precisely the thing we a oalled on to put up with every day and all the time. Bvery time we make a plan and the weather inter- feres with it we are in the throes of an annoying circumstance.

If, by taking thought, you can make bad matters better, it is distinctly worth your while to sit down sanely and try to adjust the situation.
