WE
ON BEGINNING THE
DAY WITH A SMILE
rNE HEARS a lot of chatter about beginning the day in a 6miling
I 1 cheerful mood with never a bit of advice as to Just how it is to
be done" said the blue-eyed woman as she dropped another lump
of sugar into her yellow teacup.
"That's true." agreed the brown-eyed woman "one does and I have
wondered why some one doesn't compile a list of dos and don'ts for us to
read and ponder over. It is less difficult to fall when one knows where the
' bad places in1 the road are located and if 'some wise and clever soul who has
seriously studied the matter would make a list of the pitfalls for us then at
least we'd know w hat byways to avoid and we'd stand a much better chance
of being able to turn up the corners of our lips in the early day."
k- "What about compiling a list for one's self? The same set of rules and
regulations would never In this wide wide world apply to each and every
one of us because the feminine variety of "types" is numberless. The sort
of thing that would drive you to distraction would perhaps pass my notice
entirely and the other way round. I think we'll have to make a sort of
v' selfstudy and list our own personal dos and don'ts. Don't you?"
o " " mMvooti U J'UU lilt as it
' .kiddie was to see that my room was in perfect order before I thought of
.Jj trailing off into slumberland. My dear Tante used to say I can hear her
- now 'Child child it would upset the disposition of a shiny angel to open
' her eyes on a mussed up disorderly floom so as a precaution against that
" - detestable early-morning-grouchiness make a point of putting your room in
order before vou close vour eves then when vn u 4w
. . - -
you'll find the smiles infinitely easier to coax.'
"That is one don't for you don't leave your room disorderly. Now that
" wouldn't specially bother me I'd Just as soon open my eyes to a mussy
i - - r ..rv.. uu tiuTto a Liu cmeiessiy tossed around
I ... lingerie or magazines as not. I'm not very very orderly you know."
s " 'Deed you're not but you can smile so easily."
"Not always don't fool yourself.. Little early-morning-grouch-devils
come and perch on the footboard of my bed lust as thPv rt .k
ometimes I have a battle-royal to drive tbe menacing imps away. It' isn't
easy. One of my dos is to think Just as quickly as ever I open my eyes of
v some one or something very very lovely. That helps wonderfully!
"And another way Is to have your breakfast tray-lf you breakfast in bed
lazy hateful habit !-or your breakfast table a thing of dainty loveliness
Ono naturally devotes much time and thought to the service of luncheon or
pinner but oftentimes breakfast is a haphazard sort of an affair-alniost
Sloppy one might say. And if breakfast consists nf nniv i...

. when such lovely things in breakfast trays and dishes are shown. Breakfast

J sories of the breakfast tray and table are so charming so deliehtfullv nrettv
The list so far isn't very long" laughed the blue-eyed woman "but I guess

Slender Flip Effect.
When a woman begins to put on flesh
she also begins to complain about her ad-
ditional pounds long before she takes
the trouble to reduce them by ordinary
means or dress in a way to become her
changed style of figure. This pattern of
a dress whether used for the nhole dress
or only for the skirt is particularly be-
coming to the stout w'6man because it re-
duces the apparent size of her hips and
waist and the flare below the slot-
stitched pleats accentuates the appear-
ance of slenderness above.
This gown may.be built of any except
very thin materials and it is especially
adapted to lighter weights or wools all
sorts of silks and poplins and to satins.
In the design the frock Is of the fashion-
able eggplant color which Is neither
brown nor plum color. It is trimmed with
velvet of the same hue and the bdttons
are covered with velvet. It would add
much to the handsomeness of the gown if
you put one or two hands of velvet around
the bottom above the hem and added
revers of the same along the fronts of
the blouse jacket. If you do not use vel-
vet for this purpose then sew braid
around the skirt and 'around the open
neck of the blouse and use braid buttons
and braid trimming in place of velvet.
This style of skirt is adapted to all ages
of women and to all types; but Inasmuch
as thin women now fluff out their skirta
at the hip line and practically all women
wear hoops with skirts that need to Iw
held out a skirt that Is stitched at the
top is necessarily intended for women
who can not wear bouffant effects
around the hips.
in addition to the white collars that are
worn with dresses of this sort the old
style of a fitted collar and yoke has re-
turned. These fasten In the back be-
cause a collar that fastens In front never
sets well and the yoke portion shows In
front here the bodice opens.
With dresses of somber hue It Is tho
vogue to carry very brightly colored hand-
bags and purses. Perhaps bags never
have been as brilliant In coloring as now
when vivid plaids often form the material
with which they are made.

I What About the Coming Generation?
By Edna K. Wooley.
ON'K of the problems confronting authorities in the German cities is the loosen-
ing of morals among girls and boys under 18 yeais of age.
It Is a problem born of the war. Father Is on the battle line. Mother is
earning t he family living. Trained teachers in the schoo's-most of them men
ure also at the fimit or tilling industrial places left vacant by men called to the
colors. In the places of these teachers are inexperienced young women who can
not command the respect of the older pupils.
So grave Is the situation that proclamations have been sent out In Berlin and
the other German eities calling upon the youth of the cities to remember that they
ere the coming generation and that their fathers are fighting for them dying for
them. The older boys and girls are asked to accept the responsibility of setting a
good example to the younger. Other measures are being considered to secure the
coming generation against ills that must result If the present condition continues.
The tiouble is in the cities not in the country places. In a city one may live
a respectable life on one street and be anything but respectable after he ha3 turned
the corner of that street. The manifold life of a city hides what In the country
would be known to all. The certainty of being discovered keeps many a villager
from d"ing evil and many a country boy or man Is virtuous simply because there
Is no opportunity to be anything else. And If a country girl or woman deportee
herself as many dojn our city she would be disgraced Vorcver.
It may eeem surprising that so many of these German boys and girls degenerate
so soon con.-idering their excellent training of the past. Hut it must be remembered
that they are at the danger age. those giving the most trouble being from 15 to 18
years old. Hight here at home we are having" most of our trouble with boys and
girls of these ages' and we have not the degenerating Influence of being at war
with any other country.
Our thugs and criminals commence young. When the police round up a gang
the average age is about 18. When we study statist! concerning "unwed mothers"
we are shocked to learn that the majority of nameless babes are brought into the
world by girls from 14 to 20 years of age and mark this that the lathers of these
babes in a goodly percentage ure aged less than -0; many of them mere boys.
German: is trying to solve her pioblem. She is really concerned over the wel-
fare of tr cmlng generation. She wants
men anu women bo ao we. Hut are we taking any effective measures to secure
them ?
Our asylums for the Insane for the defective can not keep up with the increas-
ing demand for them. Our jails are not big enough to house all the young criminals
our police forces not adequate to enforce our laws. Churches seem powerless!
schools lacking force and parents careless or indifferent.
What shall the harvest be?

Old-Fashioned Apple Fie.
Have in readiness a rather deep pie-
plate covered with a good tender paste.
A tin pieplate Is preferred as the bottom
of the crust hakes better. Kill with tart
apples peeled cored and cut in eighths
piling evenly around the edges and neap-
ing slightly in the middle. 7f very dry
add a spoonful of water but this seldom
necessary. Sprinkle a half cup of sugar
over the apples' and add a little nutmeg
or cljnamon for flavoring. Put on the
upper crust and bind the edges with a
narrow strip of wet cotton cloth to keep In
the Juice.
Bake about half an hour and aerve
waun or cold but always with cheese.
Variations in the seasoning for an apple
pie may he found by adding a little cold
tea a little of the grated rind and Juice
of a lemon. Some good housekeepers in-
sist upon having a little butter added to
apple pie or sauce and others think that
a very little salt brings out the flavor.
-
Orange Cream.
Boll the rind of a Seville orange very
tender; Heat it fine In a mortar; put into
it the Juice of a Seville orange four
ounces of loaf sugar and the yolks of
four eggs. Beat all together for 10 min-
utes; then by gentle degrees pour in a
pint of boiling cream beat till cold. Put
into custard cups set Into a deep dish of
boiling water and let them stand till coU
again. Put at the top small strips ot
orange paring cut thin or preserved chips.

to assisting me?
"I am a high school teacher. As 1
have no home to which I can go for the
holidays and vacations these are not
looked forward to with any pleasure.
"Do 'you think I might find emnbw-

to help make a family of children happy.
I would also like the work of a social

f 8 yl are seeking you had better study
me KuveuiBing columns or one or more
city papers for persons who want just
such a young woman as yourself. You
can enter into correspondence with the
advertisers and see whether they will suit
you.
You should also advertise yourself.
There is no other way to get Into touch
with strangers and It Is evidently to
strangers you must go for such a posi-
tion as you are seeking. You could offer
yourself as a governess for young people
and you would probably find yourself
much happier than now In- your lonely
state.
You can also register your name In an
employment agency that finds places for
governesses and companions and secre-
taries. There are several such agencies
in every big city confining themselves
solely to that class of employment
Naturally you can not tell beforehand
whether the particular situation you ac-
cept will prove a happy one for you But
there is no use waiting on the chance
that something superfine will turn up
It Is better to go directly toward your
end and once within the circle of your
new work you will be able to decide more
definitely exactly what does appeal to
you and be also-In a better position to
choose It.

A Skstlng Csp.
Of all the many garments and acces-
sories that belong to a beadttful woman.
It seems to me that hats are the most
poorly selected.
The fat woman the thin woman the
tall tvoman the short woman the
anemic woman the robust woman all
wear the same shape colors and ma-
terials. The day when hats were chosen
for their becomlngness Is past.
Style rules supreme.
Yet it is not a difficult ' matter for a
woman to select a hat that Is Individual
becoming and stylish all at thev inmc
time. She may have to Insist to the style-
blind clerk that style Is not all she wants
but If she perseveres she will be able to
find this delightful combination.
for the woman of moderate mea'js
who limits her hat supply to a street
hat a dress hat and a sport hat the se-
lection of a becoming shape' is impera-
tive. A hat that must be worn dally and for
any length of. time a dark hat is always
more serviceable and more pleasing. A
light hat not only soils easily but people
soon tire of seeing the same light hat un
the wearer each tirtie they see her. A
dark hat of blue or black can be worn
with more suits and keep the harmony
of the costume than a light one.
As for the sport hat my idea Is that '.t
should be small and snug enough to defy
the'- plays of the wind and to allow the
wearer the pleasure of not having to
think about keeping it on at a proper
angle. I always choose small street hats
for the same reason and because I feel
they are more in harmony with a tailored
suit. '
A dress hat may be large or small ac-
cording to the . taste of the wearer. It
should not be too fussy and should har-
monise with the dress or suit with Which
It Is worn.
In choosing a hat I try to Una one that
follows the lines of th head. It happens
In my own case that small hata are must
becoming and I seldom attempt a large
one. But large hats ran follow the head
lines lust as the smaller ones do.

full face and the profile which after all
la seen more often than the full face by
the public is hideous. There are manv
hats with lines that make the full face
appear to the best advantage. But those
same lines "kill" the profile and make the
back of the head anything but attractive.
The hack of the head the neck and
shoulders play quite as Important a part
in the set of a hat in its grace and be-
comingness as the profile or the features
of the front face.
T.T ?0!01 .f the 'acins of the hat nnd
of the trimmings Is also most Important
A hat should never have any trtfnming
upon It that detracts from the coloring of
the hair and eyes. For as the hat adorn
the head and face the face and head
adorn the hat I can think of nothing
more beautiful than the golden glean of
the hair as it t.nugges in under a hat.
nor than the color of the eye matching
the trimming of the hat. which It re-
flects. The material of which hats should be
m. 'I!Jlne cases out of ten should be
soft. The number of women who can
wear severe and hard hats and keep their
femininity is small. The softness of a
woman s face is of a peculiar quality. U
demands soft things to accentuate Its
softness In hard settings of any kind
the look of soft. sweet beautiful fein- "
nlnlty seems to fiy away and the Wee
