Tho mother laughed when ahe said it, but there Was a sigh back of the, and the" look In her eyes woe troubled, What could she do? sho asked. There, Is nothing more ahe can do than ahe has done.

If girls look In tho direction their mother point an'd then turn their faxes the other way they must not lay the blame of the mis hap that follow on their mother's ahoul ders. The little Imp of perversity Is so -quick to suggest, so speedy to act. that -It is almost 'as if it Is something real and tangible, sitting, first on a girl's tongue, tint at her elbow, or perching on her ear, or hiding in the corner of her eye. Her first impulse la' to do the right thing, and the little imp of pervefalty la quick to suggest the wrong thing, and ahe acts upon his auggeson. There is only one thing to do, girls, and that Is to give a sober second thought a chance to strangle the little imp the in atant he appear.

"Think before you speak," la tho beat way to conquer him. Thin)-, before you act; think before you reject the good counsel of your mother; think how many tlmea you have acted on the impulse and been punished for It; think over what the little Imp of perversity suggests and weigh his suggeMfrtn, You will find it ha its origin In self- lahneas, In atubbornea. in aclj-wlll. in mougnueaantas ana in' recKiesa 'disregard of the effect on others.

Tou can't cover a lack of personality and magnetism with mannerisms." began Josephine Victor In heV very charming voice. The real beginning had been the delightful way my hosteas pro tern had greeted me at her dressing room door. Even though one glance had told 'me of wonderful great brown eyes under crescent browns, of a sensitive mouth, a clear-cut. artistic profile 'and masses of wavy dark hair, I was sure that charming Josephine Victor could have no better secret to Impart than that of her own sweet, gracious manner.

Don't you think that the lovable girl, tho popular girl, tho successful girl, top, must all be equipped with a manner that attracts, a personality that wins friend-ahlpT And why not learn grace of manner just as you study grace In walking and danclnr? Josephine Victor has that bewitching beauty known as "elusive." As a matter of fact It Is not elusive at all, but Is based on physical loveliness plus brnlns, personality and graceful graclousness. You all love the Maria Tamburri of the "Temperamental Journey." Just as lovable Is the Josephine Victor of her dressing room after the play nt the Belasco theater has rung down the final curtain. "If a gown Is made with 'understanding and earnest care. It will have good lUicai It 'will bear Inspection on Its own simple merits.

For there Is one groat rule for charm. One rule applies In gowns and' the wonien who wear them. I would like-to give credit for this great piece of knowledge to tho great teacher who Imparted It to me. Mr. Ilelasro trained mo for the' part that runs through the play 'like a minor strain of sweetness In by saying over and over: 'Simple!

Very often tile woman who appears a beauty whllo you have but glanced at her perfect features lacks the brains to bear careful Inspection. She falls apart at the touch of reality like all poorly constructed things! 'The moat, picture in the world' would not be beautiful If It were covered by 'dust and grime and mold. I think stupidity and lunsympathetle nnturo and self-consciousness hide beauty tho aame way, "Cultivate your knowledge of life, cul tivate your Interest in people and things, learn to forget yourself.

"You have no common sense and I want to hovo nothing more to do with you," wrote a bishop to a man whom he was dismissing from the diocese. Harsh word, these would seem to be from a follower of the Gentle Bhep- herd, and yet at al most the same moment a wise woman wa saying In her home halt way around the world from where tha bishop lived and worked, "I don't want my boys to grow up geniuses.

Geniuses are one elded people, over de veloped In one di rection, under de veloped In another I've never known any real good a genlua has done In the world, I ahall raise my boys so that they will be honest country gentlemen, aweet and clean of mind and full of common sense." The bishop and the lady, in different walks and different sorts of worlds had reached the same conclusion. If It were In the bishop's power to change by a word the changeless ritual of his church he would Incorporate a prayer for comrnon sense. The lady quite candidly says that It 1 her prayer, for every earnest wish ahe regards as a prayer. If We all prayed for common sense and as In so many Instances is true we an. swered our own prayers, this would be a world full of comfortable people.

At once comfortable and progressive, for common sense, while It prompts us to accept a situation we cannot control, bids us con. trol every situation we can for lta bet terment.

She thought the liquor flavored, foul tongued creature her "destiny." Emerson says, "The only destiny Is character."

Here Is a face better worth studying than those of tho multimillionaires, political bosses, leaders of fashion and disturbers of peace whose countenances are so constantly before the public's eye. It is thn faee of a man, ninety years old, -who has devoted his whole life to tho study of the man ners, customs, arts and Ideas of the world's smallest inhabitants the Insects. If you doubt whether Insects havo Ideas you havo only to read some of the captivating books that Henri Fabre tho man In the picturehas written In order to be convinced that if those Uttlo creatures do not think they do something Just as wonderful. "Do you say that these are small veri ties which the ways of a spider or a grasshopper reveal to usT" exclaims Maurice Maeterlinck, In his praise of Henri fabre. "Buj there are no small verities.

There la only one verity, whose mirror seema to our Imperfect eyes broken, but whose every fragment, whether it reflects the evolution of a star or the flight of a bee, conceals the law supreme." In Franco, whero thoy are erecting, at Avignon, a monument to Henri Faore, as in ancient Egypt and ancient Rome they erected monuments to the pharaoh and the caeears, while they were yot living, they call him the modern La Fon-talne the La Fontaine of science. With out depriving the lower world of life 6t any of its poetry, he ha urrounded it with greater fascination of biography and history the biography of bees and ants, and the history of communities whose whole domains cover only a few square feet of ground.

He never forgot that In war position Is half the battle, and he was always at the right place, at the right time. The little admiral had a lively sense of the' thing men call "responsibility."

You Are Too Young-. Dear Mlaa Fairfax: I am IT and in love with a young man four years my senior. He was away tor a week and wrote me every day. I met him the night after he came home, and he acted cool it almost broke my heart. Q.

You are too young to know your I I make you happy ir you own heart, and he is too changeable to were IKiilssssK lssssskVsssssK at Ills Work. that tho children of the future will re7 the truo storied of Henri Fabre about Insect life as eagerly as hitherto children, and many grown people, havo read La Fontaine's fables.

Fabro's llfo teaches two great lcsslona; first tho lesson of concentration, and, second, the lesson that knowledge is not valuable to humanity unless it is communicated. Shutting himself away from that part of tho world which calls Itself busy, and, until now. hardly known to the world at large, he has devoted his whole long life to the slnglo aim of learning all that an observant man could learn about the mll-mllllons of little six-legged beings which moat of either despise or detest. He stands alone, aa on a pedestal, for It Is generally iconceded that heknows more about Insects than any of hts contemporaries or any of his predecessors. Do you think that auch knowledge Is not worth acquiring? Then come back again a century -hence, if you can, and see what tho encyclopedias will bo saying of him then.

Thousands of men whom you now regard as monuments of "success" will havo only a few lines devoted to them If anything at oil while Henri Faore will probably have columns. It Is only by concentration that he has achieved this lasting fame. As 'to the second lesson that he teaches we need only remark that ho understands, a few men of do, that the wish of the entire world to know what ita few original Inveatlgatora are finding out is a wish that must be respected and gratified for otherwise science is a thing of privilege, con fined to a kind' of Intellectual aristocracy. Accoruingiy. he has written his books in language which anybody can understand, and in, a style whose beauty attracts tens of thousands 'of reader.

Most scientific writers cannot free themselveifrom their technicalities, Henri Fabro has. nevefTforgoUen that technicalities are only toola which havo no In the finished work. Yet, hte. science has not suffered from his popularization of it. Darwin, when he wrote his great book on the "Origin of Species," spoke with enthusiastic admiration, of.
