If you do not wish to be counfed among the foolish, Horatio, it will be well for you to observe their little pe- | culiarities and avoid them. I cannot help you much in doing this—unless it 18 by “horrible example”—but I can give you a pointer or two, and I am about to do so. There are two kinds of fools in this world, my bgy—not to mention any others—who ‘are worthy of observa- tion. The one kind consists of those who are greater fools than they look, and the other of those who look great- | er fools than they are—the weight of | their folly consists in not looking | what they are entitled to look. The first kind you may see about you on any day and you need not boiher much about them, for they are soon detected. But the second kind are | more trying; they hurt a man’'s feelings so. I know of few things more dis- couraging than to play a man for a | fool and then, of a sudden, have him flash out about 70 degrees brighter than you ever have hoped to be. It is very disheartening. I know, for I have tried it You want to look omt for this va- riety of man, Horatio, for he leaves you with the feeling that you are all |the varfeties’of chump in the cata- | logue, with a few added just for luck. How are you to know him when you meet him, do you ask? I'm blessed if I know! He is such a modest, unas- suming cuss that he would deceive the | very wisdom-elect. But I fancy it might be well to treat all men as if they were wise until you have had the contrary demonstrated to you. Sup- pose you try it, my boy. I guess it will pay. :: ' B Dwelling on Your Deficiencies Serves Only to Enlarge Them. BY ANQELA MORQAN. ON'T be a negatjve person. Don't permit yourself to fall into negt- tive ways of thinking and talking about yourself and your abilities. So surely as you do you' will find the cenditions of your life corresponding with startling accuracy to the unfortunate statements you have made in thought and speech. So many gifted, capable people in this world are living indifferent, unsuccess- ful lives simply because they do ndt real- ize the necessity of being positive, and have no conception of the actual wrong they do themselves in failing to take the aggressive mental attitude. Success in this life consists in sharply, clearly, decisively determining what one intends to do and definitely starting out to do it, meanwhile thinking, talking and acting consistently. It is not consistent to expect success when one thinks and talks in a way to destroy one's claim to success. If there is any one habit that will ef- fectually weaken the position of an as- piring or ambitious person it is the habit of thinking and talking negatively. It is a habit one very easily falls into, if one is not on guard. You who read this may realize the truth of this state- ment. Have you not frequently found your- self telling some one very earnestly about the things you could not do, the desirable traits you lacked, the unfortunate ten- dencies you possessed? Have you not put more emphasis on “I can’t,”” “I have never been able,” “IT I could only” and “I'm afraid ‘would fail,” than you have on “I can,” “I am ‘I am confident” and “I am happy W try?” Yet this very habit of negation and condemnation is one that blights your every prospect of success. Dwelling on yeur deficiencies enlarges them, estab- lishes them more firmly in your mind, and robs you of the force you need to draw desirable conditions and to culti- vate admirable qualities: and You Will BY DOROTHY FENIMORE. ORIGINALITY IN DRESS Have Your Clothes Cut to Fit Your Personality f i No matter how ambitious you are, nor: how hard you work, if you hold a nega- tive mental attitude you defeat your own purposes. Your thoughts must not be uncertain, or wavering. You must not undervalue your gitts. You must not waste yourself in longings, wishes, dreams that have no clear-cut lina. The great mirror you call your life re- flects with wonderful accuraoy the pic- ture of yourself as it exists in your mind and shows with unerring distinctness the real bellefs you hold about your abili- ties and powers. There isn't a thought you think that does not register itself upon your body and In the conditions of your life. What- ever you are thinking—now, at this very moment—has an influence in shaping your future. If your thoughts are negative, you cah- not have a positive success. If you are continually talking of the things you cannot do, you subtract from your abil- ity to do well the things you can do. It is a law that the more we dwell on the positive side of things, the more power and ability we attract to us. Pos- itive statements kindle in us the desir- able traits we would cultivate. Nega- tive statements are blighting in their ef- fect. If people would use the same amount of fdrce, time and breath in talking positively that they employ in talking negatively there would be fewer failures, fewer invalids, fewer unhappy charac- ters in the world. Begin now to think positive thoughts of good about yourself. Begin now to talk positively of your aims and your inten- tions. ‘When'you are tempted to dilate on your shortcomings, your difficulties, your de- ficlencies, stop short and reverse the cur- rent of your thought. Substitute for “I can't,” “I fear” and “I lack,” the positive -statements, “I can,” “I am confident,” “I am .able.” Be positive. Just try it, and see how much more you can accomplish. Look Better. | ANY women of strong per- M sonality have claimed the right to dress as suited them, what; evet the prevailing mode. In their canons of good taste they have placed individuality a notch higher than Dame Fashion's artificlal man- date. But for a Parisian dressmaker to adopt this heterodox opinion, as a prominent one has just put himself on record as doing, is certainly something Of a departure from the expected and the traditional. Taught by experience, we -have come |. to expect the styles to revolve and re- volve again, double-decade after double-decade, as mechani as a Chinese prayer-wheel. I if we could bear the shock were- things to change in this regard. And would we women .find enough to @ceupy o minds if we did not haveito study how to-turn last year's sleeves upside down, so cleverly that' nobody could possibly guess what we had done, or how to get a twelve-gore skirt out of the nine-gore pattern of goods which we bought because it was a bargain? I know this much, anyway, that by the end of the twelvemonth we could save money enough to inyest in real estate, and still, as we walked . the streets, give ample evidence by our apparel of our own or our husband's ability to pay. Every woman, advises our French would-be emancipator from the dec- orated yoke—of slavery—which La Mode has imposed so long upon our shoulders, should be dressed according to her silhouette. She should study herself by shadow pictures, instead of from the gleaming images reflected in Fashion’s mirror. / “What a handsome figure,” should be the beholder’s first impression at sight of her new gown, and after that should come the gasp of admiration: “La toilette, mais c’est charmante!” (“What a pretty dress it 1s.”) —_ ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

If a foreigner comes to the United States, does not become a citizen, mar- ries an American woman and there are children, born in the United Btates, out of such unfon, such children are natives of the United States, and if there are sons, guch are entitled on attaining ma- Jority to exercise the right of suffrage, unless they, on attalning majority, by some overt act, announce intention of adopting the citizenship of ‘the father. If the children on attaining majority desire to remain citizens of the country ‘What is called “clothes conscious- ness” in erudite circlés is recognized by scientific students of humanity as an important element of feminine psychol- ogy. Some authorities even go so far as to claim that man, the noble lord of creation—who alone, of all created things, is eligible to a seat in the angel's row—is also, like womankind, at'the mercy of sartorial influences, that while fine clothes will make him brave to the point of recklessness, a coat that is badly cut may blight in its bloom a flourishing career. Both esthetic and industrial history would swerve out of the beaten track ' into new lines were every one to have his clothes cut according to his per- sonality. There would be no servile copying; each one would think his own style the best, just as every one-ad- mires most of all the family photo- graphs the one. which represents the extension of his own ego. ‘We would hardly be likely ever again to hear of a famine in red neckties like that which agitated Austria a couple of years ago when King Edward of Eng- land wore every day on the promenade at Marienbad a gorgeous crimson scarf. Nor would it happen that suddenly all the glove factories of Paris would be obliged to run night and day stitch- ing black stripes on the backs of yellow glaces gloves because of a de- mand created by his Majesty wearing such coverings for his hands at the Longchamps races. A new artistic opportunity would be opened to careful dressers, even aside from that offered in study of special appropriateness of particular clothes to the wearer's form and bearing. One could learn his, or her, soul color, and either match it up in raiment, or else choose materials of a harmonizing shade. Indeed the advantages of idea are legion.
