They Spoil Your Looks, and, Besides, if You Can't
Get the Moon It Is Not Sensible
to Cry for It,
Girls, don't get blue don't allow your
self that luxury. The blues, whatever
you may think to the contrary, never
yet came under the head of the neces
sities of lire.
They are always to bo classed as among
tho luxuries. That being the case, ban
ish them as far from you as possible.
Don't give them tho least headway or
they will swamp you.
Blues and common senso don't "go to
gether tliercforc throw overboard the
blues and load up a cargo oC common
senbe. It can bo done. Just try it and
see. Lire wasn't given to human beings
to muko other people miserable, and that
is what you do whuuever you give way
to a fit of tho blues.
Of course no one can bo gay all the
time any more than tho sun can shine
always. There must bo an equnl propor
tion of night. It is necessary to the plan
or our being. But blue devils are by no
means a necessity, and you can Mangle
them out of existence if you will. When
troubles, real troubles, come, you will
have no strength left to bear up under
them IT you give way on every provoca
tion to n Ht of the blues over the most
trivial happenings.
Don't imagine that you arc going to
waste away and die over some disappoint
ment in your affections. You aro going
to do nothing of tho kind. When your
time comes to die you will have no voli
tion in tho matter, and tho chances are
ten to one you will bo none too well sat
isried that you have to say good-bye to
the things of earth. It is a way human
nature lias.
DON'T CUMBER THE EARTH.
You are not going to die of a heart
break. You are going to weather the
storm just as millions have done before your
time, and will continue to do after you are
really dc-sd and forgotten by the world
of to-day.
Whatever you do, don't cumber the earth.
There are pests and troubles enough al
ready, without your adding a quota.
Don't be a drone in the hive. There
is plenty of work to do, and it will do
you good to attend to it, regardless of
what you may think to the contrary.
Don't go upon the idea that no one else
in the world has as keen a sense or suffering
as di'ep capabilities or happiness. That is
a mistake. The world is full of people
who are your equals, if not superiors, in
this respect. Because they do not happen
to make a noise about the fact, and go
alwut mroiming the universe, is no reason
that they lo not exist.
Don't get bilious over your worries.
Don't dose with medicine. The only medi
cine you need is a good , big dose of common
sense. Take as much of it as you have
on hand, and repeat the dose as frequently
as it is possible to get a new supply o"
that most invaluable commodity.
When you get bilious you do not look
well, either to yourself or to other people,
thereforCj in the name of common-sense,
have some consideration for those other
people who have to look' at you .and, coming
in daily contact with you, have to bear
with your crankiness and low spirits.
Turn off the flow of tears. Reverse the
crank. You can if you will. It does not
need bv any means as much exertion as
you might at rirst suppose. Get up and
work. Take whatever comes, even if It
is nothing more spiritual than sweeping up
your room, cleaning out your closet, going
through a rag bag and sorting out the bits,
so that some poor old soul may be furnished
with the reruse for the patching of her
beloved quilt.
ILLVE THOUGHT FOR OTHERS.
For heaven's sake stop thinking of your
self. Don't allowthetelephonicconiicctions
or thought always to run tothe central sta
tion of self. Have some thought for others.
Your troublo may be pretty bad a real
heartache but there are.il ways troubles of
others to discount them in degree and kind.
Don't bemoan your fate. Get up and try
to make things different yourself, instead
of imagining that some one even the most
vaguely indefinite some one ought to take
you under their wing and shield you from
all troubles, or, give you an establishment
with a fine turnout included in the deed of
gift.
It won't do. The world in the main is far
too sensible. People will not bear with
yon when you get into any such vein of
Uioughr. Don't go mouthing over that old
worn out phrase that the world owes you a
living. It owes you nothing of the sort
unless you work to get that living Tor your
self. Try it and see if tills is not true
every time.
Suppose disappointments do come. Thoy
are bound to do so at times, even to the
most successful Biace up aud go at it
again. Try something else if ouo thing
fails. Don't howl about a scarcity or
work. There is always plenty, provided
you will do it, and not go upon the plan
that it is not suitable or that it will
demean you. No one, however exalted
their rank and station, can demean them
selves by honest work.
KEEP OUT OF CONVENTS.
Don't go' into a convent. This is an
idea that appears especially poetical to
very young girls "who have had some
unfortuiiate love affair. Banish that con
vent idea just about as far as it is pos
sible to put it from you. It lacks com
mon sense in wonderrui degree, it, maj
do for a period of religious fevor, but
it won't last and your life will.
It may seem very beautiful and poetical
to immure one's self from tho world but
it is vastly more beautiful and poetical to
remain in the world and help your fellow
beings in an active rather then a neg
atively assive manpner. There is no com
parison betweeu tho amount of good you
can accomplish outside of a convent wall
to that possible by immuring yourself
therein.
Suppose you yield to the .fancy of tho
moment, and then some fino day a wake to
the fact that you have mistaken your voca
tion that the world, the great big throb
bing world of live, keen interests outside
the convent walls, isthe place in which
your vocation really lies.
Suppose, too, you get over theunfortunate
love arfairs, as you undoubtedly will, before
you are aware of it. Everyone has some
thing of the sort at some time in their life.
Suppose everyone went into a convent, or
spent their days and nights bewailing their
Tate. The world would be fairly drowned
in tears and the problem, "Is life worth
living," would be answered In tho most con
clusive manner as the world went sailing
away on the briny flood.
Brace up, girls, brace upl There is lots
in the world lefc very well worth the living.
It hurts at the time and we mortals don't
want to think that we can ever recuperate
from sucli a deep wound. The best thing
in such a case is to use heroic measures
cauterize the wound. Brace up and spend
the time, just for a little while, at all
events, in doing something for others.
It will help wonderfully and before you
know it the relief will have come. Brace
up; brace up every time.
BENEFITS OF STARVATION.
Suppose it does affect; your appetite.
Suppose something does rise up in your
throaC every time you try to swallow and
refuse to allow that very necessary process
to proceed in the proper manner. If you
cannot eat, really cannot, then starve
yourself out until your stomach rebels
and claims its rights in this respect. A
little starving under such circumstances
will do you no ultimate harm.
Suppose you cannot sleep. Then lie
awake, or better still, get up, turn on the
light, and read or sew. The time of night
makes no difference. Occupy yourthoughts.
Get a glass of milk, if you can, and drink
that. It will work wonders. If that is
not advisable, then try the soporific effects
of n warm bath. If that don't do, go at
ih
ltW
the rending and working again until tired
nature asserts itaelf and flcop comes with
out any wooing.
Occupy yourself during tho daytime. If
there is nothing elfe to do, go for a walk.
Not juht around a couple of blocks. Take
areallongwalk outlnthecountryifyoucan.
The sight or the fields and greut open
breathing spaces will do you good. That
sleeplessness may last for a little time,
hut you can overcome it, if you will make
up your mlind to the task.
There is an old airy tale to the effect
that long ago a little prince cried ror the
moon. He made a dreadful to do about it,
and gave no end or trouble to his courtiers
and attendants because he could not havo
thaL moon. But finally he had to content
himself as best he might without tho
moon, seeing that not even Tor his royal
pleasure was it tobc tecured.
WE ALL WANT THE MOON.
We aro each and all of us at times like
that little prince. We each want the moon,
but we don't get it, and thcreforo the less
said about it the better. We havo the com
fort of knowing that in the end the less
noise we make about it, the less fools we
make of ourselves.
Givo your energies an active outlet.
Don't sit in some dark corner of tho
houso and get your handkerchler damp
aud soppy mopping up tears. Go out. Go
out or doors. Go out in tho yard, if you
happen to have one. Make a garden and
tend to it so that the plants you put In
will really grow. Thero is an immense
amount or satlsraction in tending a gar
den. Don't get homebody else to do tho
digging and all the hard work. Do that
youraeir It is what you need. It is just
what is going to do you good.
Get your hands dirty. Don't Btop to
put on gloves; thut is finicky, and what
you want to avoid is tho least approach
to pessimism. Get your hands dirty there
is plenty of soap and water in tho world,
and washing tho dirt off again will do you
good. Cold water is a wonderful bracer
at times ir properly applied. Don't be
alraid of it any more than of the work.
Watching tho giowtli or plants that
you have set out, looking Tor the first
signs of bloom, keeping tho garden weeded
and tho vines in order, is about as inter
esting work as the average girl will find
for tho summer. If you havo not a yard
in whicli such work will be practicable,
then set up a flower garden in a window
box. or even in several flower pots. Try
the experiment once, and its efficacy as
a dlstractor or disagreeable thoughts will
bo found to be wonderful.
One bright girl, who had set her heart
upon a certain moon that she could not
have, finally recognized the fact and,
instead or proceeding to make the entire
family miserable, undertook the conse
quence to mnke the entire family happy.
The manner in which she did this was to
arm herself with a spade and, alter dig
ging up a large patcli of ground entirely
by her own errorts, planted it with corn,
potatoes, and the small vegetables easiest
to raise for the table.
DO WITHOUT CONFIDANTS.
It took some time to do all this. The job
lasted, indeed, through the entire summer,
as tiicrc wad always something to do in
attending to the young farm, but it re
warded tho efforts expended thereon,
Tor the family tabic was kept supplied with
fresli vegetables during the summer months,
and when the autumn came there was a
burplus of potatoes to stow away for
winter use.
Tiie work accomplished its purpose at
tho same time, for the open, out-of-door,
active life Induced a new train or thought,
aroused new interests, and kept down that
horrible pain hi the heart that had, at
tho outset or the task, threatened to anni
hilate health and reason. The whole neigh
borhood became interested, in fact, over
that bravo girl's kitchen garden. But
no one ever dreamed of the real reason
for its being started. There was no need
or a confidant. That dangerous phase of
such cases was altogether eliminated by
the activity of the physical forces.
And now just one great big, last don't.
Don't have conHdants. IT you must talk,
talk to yourself. Emulate the example ot
tho canine species bay at the moon.
Hang out or your owu back window, or
the frontone, as the case may be, and bay at
the moon. Whisper all the foolish and
heartbroken things you may desire at the
moon. Then there will be nothing to repent
or when the morning comes.
Alwaysremembcrlhatheartsdon'tbreak.
Hearts are tough things in reality. They
and the eyeballs arc the toughest portions
of one's anatomy. They rarely, if ever,
break. There are a few medical instances
to t lie contrary, but they are so very few as
not worthy to be considered in the suming
up of the case.
Take that dose or common sense recom
mended and then work, work with all jour
might and main at whatever offers, don't
allow yourself to get billious, keep the liver
active, eveuitthemoselieroicmeasureshave
to be resorted to in order to accomplish
this, and the result will be that you and not
the heartaches will conquer every time.
GLORIANA GADABOUT.
HE WAS "WILTLNG.
Time Hud Tempered His Grief For
His Lamented Partner.
There was an old man with a big and
bulky satchel at his feet and a weed on his
hat leaning against the Griswold streot
front of the post-office the other day, says
the Detroit Free Press, when a vag who had
been hanging around for the right sort of a
man to appear, approached him and said:
"I see that the grim destroyer has in
vaded your hearthstone."
"The which?" asked the old mjj,n.
"The grim d estroyer tho angel of
death. I take it your wife has gono hence."'
"Yes, gone hence."
"Allow me to extend my heartfelt
sympathies.'
"Yes, you kin extend 'em."
"You must be lonely,"
"Yes, purty lonely."
"I have lost the partner of my own bosom,
and 1 know how it feels. You seem to be
all alone in this great world?"
"Yes, that's the fcoiln'."
"Life appears to be a desert to you?"
"Yes, a reg'lar desert, with sand a foot
deep. "
"But in your loneliness in the seeming
emptiness of your life does it not occur
to you that you could dq,something to add
to the happiness of your fellow-mar-?"
"Yes, it has."'
"And will you do it?"
"I will. It's 'Ieven months now since
my wife was taken away, and if you'll
p'int me out a woman about forty years
old who wants to get married I'll pop the
question so quick that it will make herl
heels lift up. i-ou uetcner lire t want to
do something fur my feller man, and I'm
waitin' right here to get another sight of a
woman whom I've followed for three miles
and winked at over a dozen times."

Bell Home, at Colonial Beach, Established by Char
itable Washington Women, for the Sake of
Suffering Humanity.
At Colonial Beach Is established one of
tho most practical charities of the city,
known as Bell House, an asylum for sickly
and destitute children, worn out mothers,
and hard working shop girls. The ob
ject of the promoters is a most praise
worthy one and through which the desired
results are most quickly and satisiactorUy
accomplished.
The idea of establishing such an instu
tion was first suggested by Mrs. W. G.
Davenport in the early part of the present
year. Deeply interested in her work she
enlistedthesympathy and support of others,
among whom were the clergy of this city,
irrespective or their religious belief, the
Daughters of the King, and many well
known ladies and gentlemen, prominent in
charity circles.
Their united efforts resulted in a most
decidedsuccss, and now those mostdirectly
and deeply interested in this most laudable
work already begin to sec satisfactory re
sults. Although not entirely completed
tho work on one of the buildings is so far
advanced as to make it habitable with com
fort and on last Tuesday the first colony,
consisting of ten hair famished, puny and
sick children, was established under the
care of Mrs. W. G. Davenport, superintend
ent of the home.
IT IS PLEASANTLY SITUATED.
Bell Home, named in honor of Dr. Mel
ville Bell, of Georgetown, is pleasantly
situated on a beautiful slope overlooking
Home Bay on the south, and on the west
fronting Davenport avenue, a bcautUul
broad drive, named in honor ot Miss
Davenport. The building now occupieu
is known as the "Clergy House," and will,
when the main one is finished and the little
ones transrerred there, be occupied by Miss
Davenport and her assistants.
The main building, or Bell Home, when
completed, will be an imposing structure.
It will bo two stories in height and will con
tain sixteen large, airy rooms, a wide
passageway running the whole length of
the building from east to west, and on
the top will be constructed a pavilion, where
the invalids can get the benefit of the salt
air from botli the Potomac and Home Bay.
A visit to Bell Home will easily convince
any one of the amount of work already
done and the excellent results attained
in so short a time, and also give a pretty
clear idea of tho work proposed to be
done in the future.
Of the ten little ones who arrived last
Tuesday very little need be said, except
that the marked improvement in eacli has
been so -rapid and perceptible as to make
it-. siirnriKln-r. When they arrived they
were without exception, puny, sad-eyed
and sallow and even for this time of the
year verv thinly clothed. Surprising as It
may appear, it can be truthfully stated
ihnt nirpnriY nil these traces of trouble
havo been removed and in their places
are rosy cheeks, bright eyesand comfortable
clothing and any one hearing their merry
prattle as they play around the Home
would find hard to believe they were the
eamo children.
The most pitiable of all the little un
fortunates arc Jennie Thompson and
Katlo Stowe, each about eight years old,
tho former a cripple unable to walk, the
latter derormed by curvature or the spine.
They are as happy, however, as it is
possible to make them under the circum
stances, for they are the special care of
everyone, especially the less unfortunate
comrades, who pay their constant attention
and do their all to amuse them.
CARE FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Besides tho little ones and Mrs. Daven
port, tho other colonists aro Mrs. J. B.
Stephens and Mrs. L. K. Roomo, who
are Daughters or tho King; Miss Edith
Brewer, Mrs. Mary Joseph, of the Chil
dren's Hospital, and Mrs. A. E. Tyler,
"of the Help and Home Mission. Of these
Mesdames Tyler and Joseph and Miss
Brewer arc permanently attached to the
Home, while Mesdames Stephens and
Roomo .are only temporary visitants, who
wllVbe relieved by others of the Daughters

'Airthis is very pleasant to know, but,
as?SMrs. Davenport says, it all costs
money, without which the wheels of this
charity must cease to turn. So far the
responses to the prayers for aid have
hnn answered, and In a very Bubstan-
I tlal way, and up to date the managers
were just 500 in the lot. and after a few day's
selling- at $2.4S instead of the old price, S2.9S we
have just 9S pairs left. The splendid quality and the
cut price combined made them go very rapidly. We never
make extravagant claims for our shoes, but we can honestly
state that there is no better Gents' Russet or Tan Shoe on the mar
ket to-day at double this cut price. Your chance to secure a pair is
getting slimmer every day better come Monday.

Mrs. Davenport has unbounded faith
in the friends and patrons of the institu
tion, and reels that they will be as gen
erous in the ruture as in the past.
Among the largest contributors are Pror.
Melville Bell. Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smitb,
Barber &- Ross, J. T. Campbell, Dr. Tabor
Johnson, Mrs. J. S. Brown, and Mrs. A.
M. Weaver. Besides their handsome girts,
the residents and sojourners at the Beach
show their interest in the welfare of
the institution In many practical ways.
Nearly every day some one of them sends
a team so that the little ones and their
nurses may enjoy the benefits of a drive
along the beach.
With all this there are a thousand and
one things which are absolutely necessary,
but which there is no money to purchase
at the present time, as all the available
funds are being used to puh forward
the building and for actual necessities.
All the provisions used up to this time,
the cooking utensils and the diuing-room
china are the gift of Mrs. Davenport,
but of course this supply will not last
always, especially, the china. The cots
in use are all borrowed and must be re
turned or accounted for. And so it is with
many other things that might be mentioned.
TLAYTHINGS ARE NEEDED.
Of the many articles the absence of
which is sorely felt and more so every day,
are playthings and clothing for the chil
dren. Mrs. Davenport and the other ladies in
charge of the Home speak in the highest
terms of Capt. Fred Tosey and Purcer W.
F. Corkey, of the City of Richmond, to
whom theyareindebted Tor many kindnesses
for the care and transportation of supplies
and also to the owners for the free trans
portation of the suffering little ones to
and from the Home. It is hoped that the
main building will be completed by the 20th
of this month at which time the managers
propose having an "opening day" when the
many friends of the Home from the city
will go down and participate in the ex
ercises. The patients now at the Home, besides
those already mentioned, are May, Ella,
Daisy and Viola Jennings, Mamie, Jennie
and Blanche Gatewood, and Raymond
Davenport Fillius.

Divorco Suit Dismissed Two Years
After Lltlgunts Iteunite.
Not long ago, says the Indianapolis Sen
tinel , the bailiff of one of the superior courts
was going over the docket rooting out old
musty cases which had been long pending
in order that the rubbish might, to a greater
or less extent, be cleared away. The genial
lawyer. W. W. Herod, had quietly entered
the room in quest of certain Information.
as tho bailiff's finger rested at a certain
nlace on the page of the docket, he casually
looked up and noticed the handsome old
attorney.
"By the way, Mr. Herod," remarked the
cou rt officer, "when shall we set this divorce
case of Williams against Williams down for
real trial?"
Mr. Herod suddenly faced the bailifrand
exclaimed with hands upraised: "Dismiss
it; dismiss it. The parties, have been living
together for more than two years , and have
had one child since that suit was filed."
A reconciliation has been effected, and the
dismissal overlooked.
