IN WOMAN'S WORLD
The
Smart
Set
WHY do people lose things at
\Y balls? Gold lorgnettes and an
VV antique earring disappeared
Friday night, and haven't been
seen Trailing after the lorgnettes
was a broken chain set with pearls.;
Mrs. Davis, who was a jeweled harem
beauty at the ball, believes the chain
must be broken, because it couldn't
have slipped over the paradise plumes
in her hair without her knowing it.
It has been suggested that, the lorg
nettes had no place in a harem cos
tume, anyway, and since modern .sym
bolism gives presonality to bread and sugar, maybe the lorgnettes were
animated by a sense of their own unfitness, and fled, dragging their chain.
But this is no theory. * However, no one believes the lorgnettes were stolen.
tn the first place, a thief couldn't" have brokenthe blockade to get into the
ballroom, and, once, there, Mrs, Flood's emeralds would have been more
worth his while, or the Sharon pearls. But only lesser jewels disappeared.
The earring was lost somewhere in ragtime, and was doubtless danced
to pieces. The bayedere didn't miss it until supper, when some one told her
the jeweled hoop was gone. By that time it was scattered to the four corners
of the floor, because the bayedere knows she lost it dancing, and not "sitting
out." Seed pearls, rubies-and turquoise, with crystal fringes that adorned
oriental robes, were swept away the next day. But these were unimportant,
being paste. The gold lorgnettes and pearl set chain were real to the point
of four figures, and Mrs. Davis will pay generously for news of their where
abouts.
Lost at other balls have been long lists of things. The famous mystery
of the Crocker pearls, recurs. One Irwin earring at a Greenway, of great
value. Countless other earrings, which are the least dependable jewels to
wear at a ball, and certain""bracelets at the.Mardi gras. At a Cinderella one
year a rare aigrette <vas the queer find of a sweeping maid in the morning.
Neck chains are constantly catching in something to break and disappear
with jeweled pendants, and pins-come unclasped at balls that are perfectly
reliable anywhere else. It may be the spirit of irresponsibility that lights
and music and the rhythm of ragtime evokes*. ?.

Perpetual Growth Principle
Of All Life
ARE you growing? '*.'** ..
Of course, I don't mean growing physically. I
mean are ? you developing ?in ? any way, 7or 7 are you
standing still, or even retrograding? '.? 7 * ' •*
\.lt?, seems? to me that- is a question which each one of
us ought to ask himself at least once a year. And what
better time?,than this, the end of the .first lap of the
new year, to ask it? .: '■ <■- '
"S'.X l'll tell you? what made me think of this subject. A
college girl who had been out of college 10 years*went to
a reunion. ■■■{'■ At that reunion one of her classmates; who is
a music-teacher, played a piano solo. The first; girl .j is* a
teacher, but. she understands a good deal about 1 music
and she realized at once that her classmate had improved
to a wonderful degree in her; playing. And not only did
she? play infinitely ;, better 7 than she had during ? her college days, but even
better than she had three or even two years ago. *~ ? ?.??-?
Then the first;girl, said to?herself: /'Gertrude has ■;been 'growing?every
year'since she; left college. She hasn't stood still and rested on her laurels
although she ?has?hadplenty7?of-*them—-rone?* instant. 7 She•"lias*-just' kept on
developing. ; Now;? am I doingthat? Am J. as .much better as a teacher than
I was the first year 1,: left college, as Gertrude ■is as a, musician? , Am I a
better teacher now than I was two or three years ago? 7'?, ; " '.
And after she had put this question she wasn't at all sure what the
answer ought to _ be..; ?-•;?'?* ?7';?-?■?. ■ •? . \ ;'?--:.??.. 7 v*7; "■ '
* Are you growing?" Are you 7 developing? every year? • Would (any: one,
who could understand, be able to see a vdistinct advance in your 7 proficiency
over your standard of (two or three years ago? ?.? - y. '•,.'' ~■ X
Are you, each-year,* a better teacher, - a more, accurate proof reader, a
more efficient business man, a more gripping preacher? /
; Are you—l've saved' this?for a ' separate' paragraph,"because" I* knew there
would be a. large class of people who would want to remind? me that- they
did not ; need :; my question, because they, had neither talent,to: develop,; nor
profession or business . to; masters-are? you each % year a better home maker,
are you each year; a more livable • member of \ society? v*,*.? > -•' • ?-.. 7 y » Cyy
- .You,? who follow that most? humble and yet most « exalted -'profession.* of
home making,* you?• whose talent's are? the talents of -the soul ,;and; character
rather than of the brain or ..fingers, remember that there • is just ■as much
technique in?home7 making 7as X there is in piano playing. - Remember that
there are just as many graduations, just as vast possibilities'for? development
and improvement in the art of livableness as in the art of painting or writing.
The greatest principle of life is perpetual? growth. 'When'anything in
the vegetable world ceases to grow :it begins to decay. 777
To a certain extent* this is true? in the immaterial world also. «
So. If you want to guard yourselfand your powers from decay and de
cline, take "the only sure -method—keep on growing fall? the time.

of a series of articles,
by C. P. Connolly,

If you believe in this

lend a hand. We can't

If you pass by on the
