it was possible the duplicate model of madajn's gown had been sold in San Frartcisco. but not to any one madam would meet. Very interesting and consoling. Only the woman in the St. Francis ballroom who wore the other model had been a certain and conspicuous young matron who goes everywhere, and the certain and charming young matron whd frequently her about wonders where in his social gradations the importer of models, had placed, her.

For one of the weddings of a season before the fire gowns had been elaborately planned, because it was an elaborate affair, to be properly honored. One girl decided to be distinctive, which is always more or less of a mistake. Only unusual personalities' are successfully distinctive, and these, remembering literary celebrities of the past, look better in conventional effects However, the girl told the man at the silk counter, and 3-c -aid lie had wonderful piece of old bonnet silk, pale apricot color, that was the very thing. There were only two dress patterns, and it had been reduced fo-s7a yard because in places it was yellow with age, having been stortd" away for years. It was delicate and beautiful, and of one pattern the girl ordered a gown with ivory lace, and wore it to the wedding, where the other pattern, adorned witfl confronted her.

Comparing notes, both wearers had jrone to the same silk counter and asked for something distincthe. and both had heard the story of the long stored bonnet silk and had surrendered to its look of heirloom beauty and distinction.

Parent. Sensitive Persons Harm Unconsciously HOW much trouble and unhappiness is caused in this world by the person who is always being hurt and offended. A young mother whom I know has been confined to her bed over two months since the birth of her baby, although at first the doctor was delighted with her condition and expected her to be up and out inside of a month. And the cause of all this trouble was one of these easily offended folks. A few days after the baby was born a cousin of the wife came to see the new baby and its mother.

As she was a favorite cousin and had come some distance, she was allowed to see them for a few minutes, being the first visitor outside of the family admitted to that privi- lege. Not half an hour after she had gone a relative on the husband's side of the family arrived. The young mother was tired and excited by her first visitor and was urged by the nurse not to see any one else, but, as it happened, this visitor was one of the easily hurt people, and the wife said, "I wouldn't mind if it were some people, but you know what, she is. She'll be sure to hear of Gretchen's being here and she'll never get over it. And you know, her husband has a good deal of influence in John's business and we simply can't afford to offend them." She had her way and received the visitor, and the doctor says there is no doubt whatever that getting overtired that day brought on the relapse and fever which for a time threatened her life, kept her In bed for eight weeks, made it impossible for her to nurse her baby, and laid enormously heavy expenses on her young husband's shoulders.

Some people may think this incident unlikely or at least totally unnecessary, but I know that it will seem altogether too likely to the young mother who has tHed to please her folks and his folks, this neighbor and that neighbor, in this matter, and despite all her efforts has ended by offending some supersensitive soul. know a young bride who was married from a small home, and hence could not invite all her friends to the wedding, and who says she thinks she made enough enemies by her necessary omissions to last a lifetime. "If I were to do it again." she declares, "I'd go to 'the little church around the corner' and invite everybody, and then nobody could be hurt because somebody else was invited and they weren't," "I'd like to go and call Mrs. says my mother sometimes, "but if I do I know Mrs. Y.

will be hurt." What a travesty on friendship all this is! I say that such persons as these who spoil our happiness, impede our actions and even sometimes actually harm us by the restrictions and of their supersensitiveness, have no right to the name of friends. Real friendship is too big and fine for such childish quibbles. Real kind worth having as too busy to be always on the outlook for slights. The person who is perpetually getting hurt could have no better medicine for his bruises of the spirit than to be left severely alone. Catering to him only aggravates the trouble.

With the other be any good to may get well and become a real, worth while friend. Try it sometime with some of his type. WORK OF CLEVER POLICE MATRON IS RECOGNIZED NEW YORK.
