V THE CURE FOR WORRY. Live One Day at a Time and Take Short Views of Life, W. J. Dawson in New York World. Worry is one of the worst curses of modern life. I say of modern !le. not because people a thousand vears ago did not worry, but because as civilization advances men become more highly strung. more sensitive and less capable of detachment. Thus we often say in a very expressive phrase that a thing "gets upor. our nerves." Something distressing hap pen to us, and we cannot shake it off. Some one treats us rudely, harshly or unkindly, and the word or deed rank les in our minds. We think it over till it is magnified into a grievous and intentional insult. We take it to bed with us, and no sooner is the light put out than we begin to recall it and turn over in our m nds all the circ-in stances that occasioned it. We sleep feverishly. haunted ali the time w:th the sense of something disagreeable We wake, and the accurs2i thing is sill -ank1ng in our minds. This is one frim of worry, ' which is very commcn among people of sensitive minds. Another form of worry is the tend eacy to brood over past e:rOrs. The business man or ihe public man is .suddenly everwhelmed with the con -viction that he has made an awful mess of things. The worst of all ea lamities is the lack of energy to grap -pie with calamity, and in most cases it is *orry that breaks down a man's senergy. A third and perhaps more common form of worry is the gloomy anticipa -tion of future calamities. There are -some men who, however happy 'Ehey -may be today, are perpetually fright - ening themselves with the possibilities -of a disastrous tomorrow. They live in terror. When actual sorrow comes --apon us most of us discover unexpect -ed resources of fortitude in ourselves. .it nothing sickens the heart so much as imagined sorrow. Of this form of -worry we may well say, "It's wicked!" I have no doubt that most of my 'readers know by experience what some of these -things mean. No doubt .also many of them have many real causes for anxious thought, and they -will ask me how I propose to deal -with it. One~ of the best ways is to 'be content tb livn a da-, at a time Syd 'ey Smith counsels us with rich wis -dom to take short views of life. Each -day is an entity in itself. It is round ~ed off by the gulf of sleep; it has its own hours which will never return; 11 ~stands separate, with its own oppor tunities and pleasures. Make the most 'of them. Anoth'er g.2d andl su5ifI rAle is -never to take griefs to bed with us. "Easy to say. bt t how ditIicttat tod,' -will be replied. But it is largely a anatter of will and habit. iohn Wesley once said that he w tild as soon steal as worry, for each was equa'lly a sin. To worry is waste ful and foolis'h; we have also to recol lecd .that ~it is wicked. Fashion's Echoes. 'For finger rings che emeralds are -said to lead all precious stones. Amiong the novelties of the season -is a material called voile d'hiver (win ~ter veiling.) The irridescent garnishes are among the lovliest trimmings for evening gowns, and for them opalescent ef jects prevail.. A small bonnet is so much worn 'now for 'the theater and evening con crerts that it threatens to become the 'only kind of headdress that can be \-.orn. Dyed laces remain in high favor, ~and there ar6 sets comprising gal -loons, insertions and edgings of va -rious -wdths in modish tones. Among the newest wrap materials 'there is a beautiful plush that very strongly resembles fur. In gray tones it suggests squirrel. Cashmere promises to .be highly fashionable for the coming spring cos tumes. As newly revived it is softer, more -supple and delightful than even of old. In juvenile wear the kimono shape e2s shown i-n a1i sizes, even to that of the smallest baby. A five pocket directoire coat is a pleasing Parisian invention, compris ing two large hip pockets, one breast pocket and one pocket in the turnover .:uff of each sleeve. A bonnet made entirely of small Horses, h The best the State. F ceived. Pric Quat ostrich tips on a white silk foundation is the latest of dainty affairs for a baby's wardrobe. How Homes are Lost. They let their insurance run out. They bought things they did not need because they were cheap. They subscribed for everything they could pay for on the installment plan. The father always intends to get his life insured, but died without do ing so. They did not'realize how easy it is to get into debt and how hard it is to get out. Money enough went down in drink and up in smoke to have saved the home. They tried to do what others ex pected of them rather than what they could afford. They thought it small to insist on having an agreement or understand ing put in writing. They could not say "No" and could not afford to tell their friends, "I can not afford it." When the shoe began to pinch they "really did not see where they could re-rench." Habit had made luxuries seem necessaries. There is a magic in the world that makes men, even when they are so crass and ignorant that they don't know the meaning of it, profess a loss for art. Afraid of Strong Medicines. Many people suffer for years from rheumatic pains, and prefer to .do so rather than take the strong medicmnes usually given for rheumatism. not kr.owing that quick relief from -pair m y be had -imply by app'ying Cham| berlain's Pain Balm and without taking an medicine internally.
