THE BEAUTY OF POISE
BY LILLIAN RI SSRLL.
(Copyright, 1912, by Lillian Russell.)
Persons who use
their minds always
have poise. It is only,
the thoughtless ones
who offend. The rat-
tle-brained talker is i
;ui absolute nuisance
at* large.
What a refreshingj
sensation It. is to
meet n quiet, self-
controlled, clever wo-
man cr man; one who
can look steadily at a
situation and wait.
One great fault of
the American man or
woman U the lack of
repose, we all do too
much at a time. or.
rathe*- too mauyi
things at a time. If
we could only wait to
finish one thing be-
fore starting upon
another we would bo
much happier. But we must rush at our
goal, rarely ever straight and direct, but
generally stopping for something on the
way. disconcerting our original intentions.
The poise of looking straight ahead,
awaiting opportunity wi ii relaxation,
refreshes and reinforces the mind for
greater thoughts and expressions. The
Lillian Russell,
persons who think twice before spenkin
generally say* something sensible.
and
clever when they do speak.
(Jive your mind a chance to decide upon
what course to take and it will, -us a rule,
decide for your best. I have heard men
who were considered clever say: "Make
a person answer quickly by frightening
him and he will tell the truth."
A man may do so, but I am sure a
i
woman would not. If a woman is hurried
and frightened into answering quietly any!
vital question she will invariably answer
at. random and probably be accused of
telling an untruth, which may be a fact
much to her subsequent, embarrassment.
Whereas, give a woman time to think be-
fore she decides to speaK, and she will
at least, be logical. In many cases she
will outwit the cleverest man.
Bliss Carman Says in his "Winged
Victory":
"The practical advantage of poise and
its chief sanction i.s the opportunity it
affords fpr spiritual precedence." That is
true in the case of woman. She will
always think the highest if given tl** time, j
Therefore, how necessary it is to a woman
who wants to appear at her best to take
herself in hand and take time to think
out her problem first, know her desires,
then carefully, trustfully go shout her
business of realizing them, losing nothing
in the deliberation but anxiety and ill
temper.
What a poor example of her sex is tbe
restfless, giggling, gesticulating woman! If
she thinks that she fc attractive, let her
look around at her really attractive sister,
who is quiet, intelligently restfuJ; who
thinks enough to be dependable; who
never laughs except %vhen she is amused •
who Keeps her bamfs quiet and her eyes
steadfast. Such a woman is a wonderful
friend and companion: her beauty is the
beauty of culture, refinement, and intelli-
gence. She takes time to breathe deeply
and develops physically.
Remember: The woman who cultivates
poise simplifies living.
G. R. Ii.: I am sorry that "your face
troubles you." Deep breathing exercises,
in tile open air, should improve your com-
plexion and condition, as perfect circula-
tion clears the complexion.
A Constant Reader: A girl of 15 years,
five feet in height, should not wear dresses
above her shoe tops; ankle length is
pretty. The prettiest colors to wear for a
girl who has dark gray eyes and brown
hair are light blue, violet, light gray, rose
color, and light tan. Brush the hair thor-
oughly, after rubbing a little vaseline into
the scalp with the tips of the fingers to
remove dandruff. Liquid green soap
applied to all blackheads aVid left on fif-
teen minutes at a time should draw them
out without rubbing. I think that n
greasy, shiny complexion can be improved
by the use of plenty of cold water.
M. E. G.: I suggest that you gently
massage the knuckles with a healing salve
t«> reduce them. For a shiny red nose
lake deep breathing exercises, as your
circulation must be in T\ bad condition.
Edna: The yellowness of your complex-
ion is probably caused by neglect. Your
liver must be torpid. I would advioe you
in take epsoin salts two or three times a
week. A thorough treatment of calomel,
by prescription of your physician only,
will probably have the desired effect and
clear your complexion.
Genevieve W.: You failed to inclose a
stamped envelope. You can cultivate
naturally rosy cheeks quickly by exercis-
ing in the open air. Do not eat anything
containing vinegar or acids. They are
liable to thiu the blood and cause paleness.

A TRAVELING COAT FOR SOUTHERN
JOURNEYS.
Furs must be left at home when one
travels to the Southland, but a good warm
traveling coat which may be used also for
motoring is a splendid garment to have
along. This smart and serviceable coat
will be worn by a February bride in the
South, and is of a brown and cream mix-
lure with a trimming of brown velvet and
cloth and small gilt buttons. The lines
of the coat are especially attractive and
while straight and easy-fitting, the gar-
ment gives an effect of slenderness.

SUNNY SKIES IN SAN ANTONIO
Crowds Throng the Plazas and Thor-
oughfares All Day.
Basking In the sunshine of a typical
San Antonio winter's day thousands
thronged the streets and plazas yester-
day, while nutos and the less dashing
carriages were called Into requisition for
a Sunday's outing. The day was balmy
enpugh to satisfy the most exacting, lo-
cal or tourists.
The forecast for tomorrow indicates
that a cooler temperature will prevail
and this probably will be accompanied
by a light wind. There is no particular
cold snap in sight.
All letters to Marlbn Harland must be

applicants.
Mrs. C. Y. C."
I thank you for
the information with
regard to Christian
Science liter a t u r e.
May I hope that some
of the readers of our Corner who write
asking where they may obtain a copy of
"Science and Health" will make a note ol
the fact that they may read it as often
as they wish at such residing rooms as
our thoughtful correspondent mentions.
8eekt» Animal Patterns—"Can you tell me
where 1 can get patterns of animals such
as dogs, cats, pigs, or rabbits, to be cut
from canton flannel and stuffed? I have
not been able lo find them fur five years.
These are so nice for children, and 1 have
five, the oldest of them .lust ten.
"One can make a very inexpehstve
laundry bluing that I like much better
than any of (lie prepared bluing. At; the
drug store get two ounces of soluble
Prussian blue and one ounce of oxalic
acid, put both in a bottle, and add one
quart of rainwater. This costs only ID
cents a quart and is very strong'.
"A nice candv is what we call 'six, four,
and two.' It 'is six cups of augar, four
cups of water, and two of cider vinegar.
Roll until it forms a hard ball when
dropped in cold water. Any flavor desired
may be used, or nuts may be added.
"BUSY HOUSEWIFE."
I nm not surprised that you sign your-
self "Busy Housewife." The five children
alone must take much of your time, and
I note with admiring wonder that you
have the unselfish ambition to make toys
for these same little ones, to send us a
cheap recipe for bluing, and one for a
good plain candy.
Surely the children of such a mother
deserve'the safe and Indestructible toys
you would provide tlieni with. 1 hope
that some parent whoso "little ones" are
now "big ones" may have tucked away on
a closet or attic shelf some such patterns
as von desire.
or if not, perl'.'ps some of our readers
may tell you where you may obtain them.
How to t I fan .Jewelry—"Your depart-
ment is always interesting to me, and in
a recent issue I saw directions for clean-
in" lewelry. Now this Is rather a harsli
method, especially if the articles are
simply plated. I suggest using hot soap-
suds with ammonia and a hand brush,
"lying a good scrubbing.' You will then
have the articles as good as new This
Is good for any kind of jewelry and cleans
it perfectly. In fact, this is one way that
Jewelry Is cleaned in factories. i he
emery' and pumice are liable to cut the
plating and will do more harm than good.
"I see in your corner many times tiat
magazines are to lie given away. There
are many sailor boys at sea who would
appreciate reading matter, and every year
1 send to a number of the training ships
large quantities of magazines. If any of
votir readers have magazines they do not
want I should be only too pleased to send
for them so that I conld send Ihem lo the
different ships of the navy that are on
long cruises, especially the trailing ships.
We acknowledge gratefully your amend-
ment to the article on cleaning Jewelry.
As to your second paragraph: The sailor
bov is ever an object of Interest to sym-
pathetic persons. The remembrance of the
lads far from home always gives one a
little constriction about the heart, but the
thought of the homesick young fellows at
Ibis season of the year brings with it nn
added pang. They must have many dreary
hours on stormy days when the wind howls
und the air bites.
I am sure that our valued correspond-
ent's plea for some reading matter with
which the faraway hoys on training shins
can amuse themselves during the hours In
which they are not on duty will meet
with a prompt and hearty response.
Do not send the magazines to me, but
write to me for the address of the kind
friend who will see that they reach the
various ships in the. navy on which they
are most needed.
Who'll Care for I.lltie One*?—-"I am
tlip mother of two little children—a boj
four years of age and a girl six years old.
Both have brown hair and eyes. Both are
rosy, healthy children. My husband left
me four years ago. I do not know where
he is. I must give up the struggle of
trying to support my children and myself.
If the little ones were safely provided for
I would not worry about myself. I should
like to get them both in the same home;
hut if it is Impossible I shall not stand
on that. But I do want them In a Chris-
tian fnmily. Do you know of any one who
will take them? M118. E. S."
l'oor little worse than fatherless chil-
dren! Will not doino of the correspond-
ents who write from time to time with
regard to their desire to adopt one or two
children write to me for the address of
this deserted wife. I hope with her that
the brother aud sister may get a home
together. It would be n comfort to know
that there would be left to each that inuca
of a family tie.
This correspondent wrote to mo with
regard to an offer to adopt a child which
she saw in the corner, but before her
letter came the would-be foster mother's
arms wore filled by a homeless 111 tie one.
So I have published the above letter, hoping
that it may be productive of results that
will mean a Christian home aud future for
the brown-eyed, brown-haired twain.
Ilow Silk Curtains Are Made—"Will you
kindly inform me how silk curtains are
made? Are the pieces cut 111 strips like
rag carpet?
"Will *»>n tell me what to do for tlia
odor of kerosene In pillows?
"CONSTANT READER."
1. Yes, sew the silk strips together for
curtains, just as one would sew rags for
carpets. After that take the bnlls of silk
to a weaver to be woven Into curtains or
portieres of the desired proportions.
2. Lay the pillows in the sun and fresll
air every clear day. If you have a tin
veranda or house roof lay the pillows tbcro
each bright morning and leave until the
sun sets, turning and shaking the odorous
articles every hour or two. Even if the
smell of kerosene is not agreeable, you may
console yourself with the thought that it
is wholesome—moreover, that fresh nlr and
sun will dissipate it in time.
Wants lied Cigar Bands—"I nm making a
cigar rihhou quilt from the yellow hands
und would be delighted with some red
.mes to sprinkle in. Would you please
help me to secure them?
"I am also very fond of music, playing
both piano and violin, and have wished a
great many times that I could meet one
who was "also musical and played somo
instrument other than the piano, that, we
might plav accompaniments for each other.
"L. C. C."
Will any one wishing the address of
this music lover write to me? And if any
other correspondent has any of the bright
ribbons this one asks for, will she not
supply her need? ;
Mould Improve Fngliftll—"I wonder if
von know a respectable young woman who
would like to plav the piano from time
to time and who i* not in the profession.
This will at the same time help me to
learn tu talk better English, because my
husband and I don't use this language
verv often together, i was born in Hol-
land and have been only ten months in
this country. MRS. M. W."
In spite of which you write nn excellent
English letter. 1 gather from it that you
desire to cive music lessons in exchange
for English conversation lessons. In the
great city in which you live there must
he many' refined young women who long
for piano instructions but whose means
will not allow them to gratify this yearn-
ing.
The probability Is that several persons
will write lo me for your address. In which
case I shall gladly give it, leaving to you
the decision as I" which of the applicants
you w ill accept as music pupil and English
teacher.
