EVENING LEDOEJEt-PHILABEIiPHIX, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 19JJI - 10 WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW NEW FASHIONS AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTIQ . .. I vH ( Dl.tn ON MOODINESS By ELLEN ADAIR .sar jMyp ftp 77te Importance of Self -Control The man or woman wlio gives wny to Itervous ImttRlnlnRS mid Hie vnilety of ttJlfl netisatlons which mny be olnsed to Kether under the nll-cmbrncliiK tetm "moods." In sooner or later going to court dlwster. Kor In jloldlns to nnythlna against our better Judgment nnd our com mon sense, wo lose each lime h'shade mora Of the self-control which Is so es feudal to the well-balanced existence. There Is no slntullnfr still on the rotd of life. 'VVc aro cither Bolng lincknnrd or going forward. And It Is entliely up to i ourselves to decide which way the iat:i will take us. Wc are the tnastcis of .u,1 j fate, we aro or ccrtalnl should be, the captains of our soul. But too many lice pie are drifting aimlessly alonn on the sea of life without any sort of chart or map for RUlde, with no fixed plan nnd without even a rudder for guidance. Sin ill wonder, then, If they meet shipwreck by she way! Llfo Is something very leal nnd some thing desperately earnest, and It teuulrts all our courage and nil our strenKth of mind to face It in the right va) nnd with the right spirit. It Isn't hard to make a success of things. For doing out best Is tho only success that really matteis. If wc can tny at the end of each da that wc have given of our utmost, lived ns best we know and been faithful In nil the small things that matter to much, then our day has been well spent. But too many people can say nothing of the sort. For, Instead of being ntastoi of the situation, strong In self-reliance and In entire control of words and moods, they are the unhappy victims of every breeze that blows. And to be at the mercy of eery breeze that blows Is fur from being In a pleasant situation. It recalls, in a word, that they make no effort to control their moods, that eery little untoward happening, cery little trifle, very petty annoyance throws them off their mental poise, upsets the'r happiness and damps their enthusiasm. "I caift help being frequently de pressed," lamented a woman the other day to her best friend. "You see I am 10 sensitive to outward Impressions thnt every little unpleasant thing hurts me dreadfully! t don't get over It for days. The world Is a cruil sort of place for a woman. Don't ou think so?" But the candid (friend laughed most heartily, and the breezy, clcar-souled ring of that laugh would have swept the cob webs from the brain of most listeners. For she was a woman of the deepest com mon sense nnd a large-hearted, kindly nnd delightfully cheerful person. "Sly dear," said she. "Vou mustn't talk like that. It Is finite wrong, to begin with. For that Isn't the way to go through life. You have quite the wrong nttltudc, bcllep me. In u world as kindly and as cheerful as this, there's no need whatever to bo In the blues. And ns for ptldlng yourself on belli sensitive why. my dear. If jou wcie In my ofllcc for h few das and gne way to depression over every little unpleasant happening, ) ou'd be dead in 11 Aevkl Indeed J oil would! For although this Is n pleasant and a gloiiotis old world. It's n working world too, thank goodness. And when one works hard, one literally hasn't time to be offended mid sensitive nnd nil that sou of thing. For work occupies one's mind so fully that tlitio Isn't 1 rally space for moods there. 1 can unsure oii I nm truly thankful that such should be the case." "Hut don't you have lots of worrlco 'n business life'." iiucrled the plaintive friend. "And don't Jou have tots of upa and downs?" ' "Hundreds, my dear," wns the quick answer. "Hut 1 should be ashamed of myself were I ever to give In to these. Hardly a da passes without unite 11 number of wortlcs. anxieties, nnd any number of what ou call ups and downs. Hut then I tackle them all In n spoiling spirit I utteil refuse lo give way U moods'. For moods nre dangerous things, and jou can't fool long with them. If ,ou don't control them, picttj soon they'll control ou! There Isn't nny compromise possible. ou Know. You must just sit down calmly and think things over. 'Am I going to be master of myself?' ou must nsk. 'Or arc mj moods going to control me?' The latter alternate e !i not a happy one. I cnu tell ou. And so I made my choice long ago, Juit as jou must do for yourself now." "I didn't think that it was possible In control moods." said the Oral speaker thoughtfully. "I thought they wore some thing that one really couldn't help." "Nonsense." said the other qulcklj. "You nren't so far lost as all that, my dear. But If ou don't pull oursclf to gether, and face lire In a more sporting manner, jour moods pome sad day will control vou, nnd you will then be nothing hut a 'weak-willed, decidedly neurotic woman whom nooody will admire, and whose greatest encm will be herself!" And the foregoing conversation had Us effect. Just as the normal, sane point of lew always will have Its effect. For moods are things that must be kept well In hand If life Is to mean achievement and happiness. THE DAILY STORY AUNT JO A crash of breaking glass, followed by excited voices In altercation, brought David Carver out of the house nt a bound. "What Is the niatter now?" he asked the flaxcn-halrcd twins. "Reggie did It!" accused Hobble. "Robbie did It!" accused Reggie in turn. "If you please, Mr. Carver, I think they both did It," said the housekeeper In dignantly. "Two stones came Hying through the pantry window and the broken glass flew all over everything and the stones landed right in the berry pudding cook was making for dinner. If ever there were two mischievous " "That will do, Mrs. Soper," Intenupted David. "I am sorry It has happened and ou will see thnt cook does not make I any more Derry puddings lor a month stop crying. Itobble! And Mrs. Soper," turning again to the woman, "please tele phone Into town to have the glass re placed Baker will give y'ou the name of the glazier. Boys, coma Into the library." Reggie and Bobble burst Into fresh . walls and slowly followed their uncle up the steps and Into the gloom of the li brary. "No puddln' for u week!" sniffled Bog gle In his brother's ear. Bobble gulped down a sob. Berry pud dings were the delight of their childish souls. "Boys," said Uncle David, sadly, "this Is the third time since breakfast that I have been called away from my work by your naughtiness. When your father and mother went to Germany I offered to take care of you during their absence because I believed you would be good boys. "Why is It that you can't enjoy the pleasures I have prepared for you? You have ponies to ride, you have swings and games of every description, and yet you continually run away out of bounds and cause me no end of trouble. What am I to do? "I'm not going to beg you to b good. If I hear another bad report of your mis doings what la It, Baker?" to the serv ant who stood In the doorway. "Please, sir," said Baker, with a swift glance at the chastened twins, "Miss Sco vllle has sent a messenger to say that the little boys have overturned two of her beehives." David flushed. This wub the latest of many complaints he had received from hla nearest neighbor concerning the an tics of his little visitors. Miss Scovllle'a caustic letters embodying these com plaints had made him extremely uncom fortable for many weeks. He did not know Miss Scbvllle. But neighborly courtesy demanded that something be done about the matter, so taking- the twins the three walked hand lii liond across the wide lawn til) they cams to a gap In an evergreen hedge that admitted them to Miss Scoville's estate, "Why did you turn over the hives, Hobble?" asked David. - Robbie paused and nuns back to kick pebble. "I dunno," he muttered. He wanted to see If the bees would come out," tattled Beggle. "Did you find out?" asked David sup pressing a smile. "Yes." said Robbie gravely, "One stung roe on the band." Robbie and Reggie ran on ahead, and as they came abreast of the summer bouse they paused and, wlfn one accord, dived through the doorway and disap peared from view. David did not unbend from his dig nity to follow them. Instead, he pro ceeded along the path and presently stood in the presence of Miss Scovllle. "( brought my nephews to make apol ogies to you. Miss Scovllle," he smiled ruefully; "but they have escaped frpro 4na and " tyUtt Scovllle lifted an ear trumpet. "Politics?" she shrieked. "Young ,raan, I beg you to understand that I am not Interested in politics I don't care whithrr women ever vote or not! Most at 'em are running around the country iTs., S... nl.oauM whEIa tllAII flll.ttathn Vl vlMt if left to annoy the neighbors' h si-ulna"' l am Mr. Carver, your next door 1 j.ehJJ-."- MtdJe4 Ingratiatingly "I re to talk t you alHWt the few-" vjfaaec1" WJtfWtiL Mi Sum -he "You are collecting money for the erec tion of what'" David drew out 11 notebook and pencil nnd wrote a few words which he pro suited for Silts Scoville's near-sighted Inspection. While she scanned the words his ees roved past her to .1 corner of tho cratula around which peeped three pahs of merry eyes. The four brown eyes belonged to the jellow-lieadcd twins, but the wonderful hnzcl eyes set beneath n broad brow, above which was a coionet of Jet black hair, belonged to a girl. Hut the girl and tho Impish twins! Who was she and what were they doing together? "Indeed!" cried Miss Scovllle, as she read the note: "so you aro the mis guided voting man who has chargo of thoso bad llttlo boys?" "I am, madam," answered David, as meekly as he could with those six eyes fixed 011 him. He suddenly felt very young. "I brought them over to apolo gize to you, and here they nre!" With one bound he reached forward nnd grasped tho nearest twin nnd with him pulled the three eavesdroppers. "Jo!" exclaimed Miss Scovllle. severe ly. "What are you doing here? Have ou no regard for the conventions that you rush upon mo In this manner?" The girl's face changed and the dim ples faded "I found the little boys In the garden, Aunt Hester," she said, sob erly, "and I brought them here." "Now that they nre here, I can dispense with your presence," said Miss Scovllle. Her niece withdrew from the clinging grasp nf the twins and had reached the hall door when as by one accord the two started In pursuit. "Aunt Jo we want you to stay. Aunt Jo!" . Miss Scovllle, who had heard the out cry of the twins, grasped Reggie by one white linen shoulder. "Young man, why do you call my niece 'Aunt Jo'?" she demanded. The frightened Reggie bawled his an swer lustily: "Because every little boy hns uncles and aunties together! There's only Uncle David here and Aunt Jo promised us she would be our auntie!" Miss Scovllle glared at the embarrassed but not unhappy bachelor. "Mr. Carver, has Josephluo promised jou that she would be an aunt to these c"ntlilren7" "Not yet, Miss Scovllle," said David wickedly. Miss Scovllle gathered up her skirts and turned toward the door. "You may tell Josephine mat 1 will never give my consent to her marriage with you unless you court her In the conventional man nerthe Ideal" And Miss Scovllle flour ished into the house, leaving David to face a very Indignant young woman who came from some safe concealment, "How dare you how dare you?." she cried, "Really, I was rather pushed Into it." David began to excuse himself, then sud denly he said abruptly: "I'm not a bit sorry. Mica Jo and I mean every word I say, I shall hope to gain your consent to be the children's 'Aunt Jo," " David Carver led hla chastened neph ews home. But It Is significant that Jo. sephlne Scovllle was not as flinty-hearted as had appeared that summer afternoon. While she was cold to David himself, she was kind to the twins and graciously permitted them to call her "Jo," leaving off the objectionable title. David sulked over this, but after he understood women a little better, and Jo In partloular, he went Impetuously about his wooing, and when the married Carvers returned from Germany they were Just in time to attend a wedding whereby the twins were furnished with an auntie of their own and they called her "Aunt Jo."

Light-topped 0. fords, pumps and the other cxtiomo of boots, which reach almost to the calf, are some of the newest showings in the large stores and novelty shops. A pair of shiny patent leather low shoes, with plain vamps and high-arched Instep, are made more or less conspicuous by the addition of chamois sides, with foxings of the patent leather. They are Just the thing for spring wear, and sell for S3.00. Stockings to match are made of heavy peau de chamois colored silk, with clock IngB of black and white, triple stitched, on the sides. These sell for $3 a pair. A very new stocking has been origi nated by a well-known New York manu facturer, and promises to be the sensa tion ot the season, when It reaches Phil adelphia. It is made to wear with low shoes, nnd nt flrst glance looks exactly like the high, light-topped boota we have been wearing all winter. If you look more closely, you will see that the buttonholes, front and back seams are made of black embroidery, and the top as well. Tiny buttons on the side, as on a high boot, complete the resemblance. These come In all colors, nnd are very novel In appearance, to say the least, Tho price Is 5. High white boots are very fashionable this year, although the prices attached to them are high, too. Buckskin has yielded Its honored place to white kid, with vamp, foxing and top outlined with black leather. A white tnssel hangs from the top of the boot, and the price is J8.G0. Gaiters promise to be as popular dur ing the spring as In the past winter. They come In every Imaginable stle, from white broadcloth ones at $2.50, white duck, w)th lacing up the front, at J1.25, to gray and tan, black and white check, rind whilo bioadcloth ones, trimmed with black, at $3.00. A most military looking boot Is made of khaki-colored cloth, with lacings, fox irtg and tassels of bleu soldat leather; these are very high, nnd can bo bought In the stlo that laces up both, sides, as well. Tho price Is JS. Another very conspicuous boot was made of black kid, with Insets In eacli side of white kid. The real novel part of the boot were the lacings, which wero made of heavy black braid, and laced up the back. In order to leave the novelty of tho front Intact. They were also seen In gray and tan combinations, and sold for $10. A neat little .slipper for conservative women wns made with a patent leather foundation, with a top of black and white stripes of patent lpather and white kid, alternating. The price was $3. Black and white striped stockings to match were striped up a little way above the unkle, and plaid above this. They nre very striking, indeed, and cost $" a pair.

J A SMART Cm DIARY A Frock of Striped Taffeta This afternoon I was at another de lightful little "dansant," and saw some very pretty styles In clothes. Tho slrls there wero nil very smart, and almost all good-looking, so It was qulto a pleas ure to watch them. Coats and skirts wero largely worn, but most of the girls wero sensible this time nnd wore thin one-piece frocks or removed their Jack ets. The fashion ot dancing In coat and skirt la really very absurd, In my opinion. l'"or one gets so dreadfully healed that really ono cannot onjoy dancing nt nil under tho circumstances.
