ICf FATE AND HAPPINESS ELLEN The Shaping of Events "It's a poor heart that never rejoices," so Kixs Hie old sajlng. Ami jet the world is1 full of hearts that rejoice no viry seldom that one wonders how they ever manage to drag along at all with out the happiness that Is really essential to every human being. The sad thins Is that this pessimistic ' IMlll AAL tin a liw niila n nnh (It-Ml fail It a lit I with them. It Is a wort of second nature. "If they weren't gloomy they would ho so ' surprised that they wouldn't quite "know what to do with themselves! For, Irish as It may sound, there Is some truth In the statement that many people are never so happy as when they are supremely miserable. The people who take the pessimistic lcvv of life are b no manner of means those whom one would expect to bo Bloomy, nor those who really have a right to feel a little out of tune with the "world In general and thlims In particular. No, Indeed! More often the discontented men and women nio the very ones who have been specially favored by fortune. They have had so many till run they want, llfo has been so kind to them, affairs have shaped thciiwclves so easily that never have they been called upon to make the struggle which, after nil, Is really essential to the development of character. And without the putting forth of this effort, there can bo no fulness of living, and, in most cases, no apprecia tion of the best things of llfo. For, after all. the right to happiness Is only found through work. Whether one. is rich 01 poor, favored bv fortune or up against n dlflleult pioposlllon of "poverty. It matters not. For each must wprk out happiness for himself. And true enjoyment only comes through hav- ;f . Ing to work for It. Happiness is only a relative matter, "after all. "What would probably mean de lirious Joy to one person might bo a matter of sheerest boiedom to another. "And It Is in thU way that fate and life level things to the appearance of some thing fairer and more Juit than would ' t at first appear. Kor happincn depends on the capacity we possess for It. Our THE DAILY STORY Bertie's Martha's ecs were troubled as she hung up the receiver. "Just like Hertle," she mused, taking up her coat, cap nnd goggles, nnd going slowly up he stairs. "Kxactly like Bcrtlo. This morning we vvene to spend our last afternoon sailing; at noontime he sends xS-Tnessengcr to say he had changed his mind, nnd would come In his automobile, now he telephones that we will go on our bicycles to tho redwoods." "Unhtable ns water, but handsome as a king ought to be," was her thought a few minutes later. They were walking down the garden path to the bicycles awaiting at the gate. "Here's a flower for sally, stopping to pick "Fitting symbol of you Washington. Not a bit ou," he said, a pelargonium, is this Martha high-toned, but smiling alike on the rich and the poor; delicately colored, but sturdy for all that, my Martha." She responded absently to his chatter. 8he was glad he did not seem to expect much pf her in the way of conversation. ' -4'i suppose you have been wondering why I changed my mind so often?" ( They had walked up hills and wheeled down them and over the level places and along the cool, shady path to the red woods. They were sitting where n streamlet leaped forward to kiss the feet of the ferns: where tho redwoods gave out a soothing fragrance. A few steps away was garish suiiBlilne. but here, shade and coolness and quiet. Martha's troubled heart lightened, and she smiled wlnsomely Into Bertie's face. "Why?" she queried. "Because, I am going to aBk you some thing, and I wanted to choose the best place for it. This is the best qf all, isn't It, beloved? I want you to marry me, Martha, tonight, and go away with me. or not go away. I don't know that I care anything about seeing New York, anyway," "You want me to marry ou tonight for fear that by Christmas, or Septem ber, or tomorrow, ou might change your mind? Tfianks for the compliment, mid nor thank you, for the offer," Bertie's face was white. She was savagely glad she had hurt him. He might realize a little of her Buffering. "Do you think I want a husband who changes his mind on a subject as many time as there are hours In a day? What pleasure Is there In you, Bertie Ilarrison. and what confidence can one have? We were to read to Improve our minds. You "began with Wllllahi Tell at the nrrow scene; then you took a chapter In "Mer chant of Venice"; next you thought Bur ten Holmes' travels" "Don't. Martha," Bertie Interrupted. "Probably I shall thank you sometime; but Just now I can't stand any more than a homeopathic dose." It Bertie had gotten furious with her. or if he had cried she felt as it she would not have been surprised to see him . -cry like any girl she could have kept on oeltlne him with her sharp words; but to have him quiet and white that was sormsthtng she could not beor. Tears dropped on the Martha Washington In - her -cold hand. "Forgivjs me, dear. I didn't mean" 1 "Pardon me, Martha. I think you meant exactly what you said. In the flash of ypUr words, t what I wonder I have failed to discover heretofore. Isn't there . saying that If you can properly diagnose a. case, the cure Is half effected? If I If overcome the fault, and make a rpan of E. nTyself, may I expect your favor, 'Martha?" 6.- 'BJi shook her head. A'l can't have any faith in you, Bertie, Wit after all you are not to blame.

We may not be really liv ing; we may be merely vegetating. Hut then lest nssured that the reason for this lies In our own way of life. Circum stances may be against us, but to a ciy large extent we nre the masters of our fate If things have gone against us, then It Is up to us to get busy at once and mend matters. Hut too manj people sit down wcarll under misfortune, vvllh folded hands and an attitude of deepest dejection, nnd allow life to deal with them In ways that could be easily averted. Whenever I hear people railing against tl.elr bad luck, and the Impossibility of making n successful career for them seHcs. and bewailing the fact that life has withheld fiom them the only things upon which they have set their heart's desire, it seems ns though they had either chosen the wiong tilings or that they had st about the mattei In the wrong way. Tor, after nil, life can be made to sleld so much. The woild Is literally crammed with pleasant things, delightful Inti macies, Interesting friendships nnd gieal opportunities Hut It needs Judgment and ii sense of the Illness of tilings to seize the opportunities and to discriminate be tween the useless and the worth-while Tliu-o are so many occasions which de innnd a rc.id Judgment, n quick decision, and so wo hesitate, waver and happiness escapes us. Then why blame fate for what we ourselves nre solely responsible? Vet It Is dcperntely hard to convince , people of this truth. They will not admit iliat with, each one lies this ethical re- i M'onslblllty. this shaping of falo and molding of the future as well as the prei.nt. Without sufficient courage nnd strength of purpose to take matters Into their own hnuds. they yet lament the turn of events which they are pleased to consider as Inevitable, but to which noth ing will reconcile them. "Ah, Love, rouM ou nnd I wllh fntr conspire To shape thla horr Scheme of Things entire! Would ne not (shutter It to hits, nml then ttoinolil It nearer to tho Heart's Desire " Hut llfo Is. nfter all, no sorry scheme nf things. It only becomes such thiough oui own Ignoi.ince, our childish mis takes, our lack of .voting enthusiasms, oui love of ease nnd our disinclination for the harder choice. And in a very wide nnd very wonderful sense we are the masters of our fate, we are the captains of our soul Indecision nnd all the rest. You'll see. iiinlil M'ir tha." This sudden change of spliit was so like variable Bertie that Martha sighed "I'm sorry 1 can't encourage jou." 11 was a year befoie news came from the absent Hertle. Martha might have Inquired from his fi lends In her own clt, but slio was too proud. He had turned from her as lightly, as easily, as he had nlwns tllttcd from one phuse of life to another, A bnttcrll.v, she thought, scorn fully, why should sue waste tears on him? So fho spent her dajs among her Mowers nnd hooks, and If hei nights weie not al ways peaceful, sho gae no sign. At the years end a thick packet came to her. With nervous, trembling haste she tore off string and paper and brought forth Bertie's diary. "And to think 1 doubted him," she sobbed, as she found her name on every page. Ho had taken with hhn to New York J10O of his fortune, pledging himself not to touch another dollar of it till a year had gone He had sought service Immediately, beginning with tho most menial tasks. How his sensitive mi tut e loathed them none knew better than Martha. He had kept each omplojment till he found something a step higher. At the end of four months he discov ered a friend of his father's, who ofv fered him a clerkship, nnd gave him freely all the Information he needed. It was when ho was established In this that ho had made his code of rules. After office hours a two-hour walk, dinner, then study till 11. his bedtime. This was not to be varied for six days. Sundays were to be free. "I am beginning," he wrote, "on Ma caulay'a history. I swear not to take up anything else till these volumes nre finished." "Can he be strong enough, the dear, brave boy?" Martha wondered, as she read eagerly on: but it was when she was smiling over some whimsical, happy thought, written In Bertle'B happy ex pression, that It came. "Failed!" on a dozen pages! Then one bore bravely a line from Goldsmith: "Our greatest glory consists not In never fall lug, but In rising every time we fall." After that was the continuation of the arduous routine. On the last page he had written, "If I do not win my Martha after all, I feel that I shall come some what nearer to deserving her." Another six months dragged b. The diary contained no clue to Ills address save New Y"rk city; so that Martha could not send him encouragement and loving messages of which her heart was full. She felt that sho deserved the sus pense, but It was fearfully hard to bear. When It seemed to her that sho could en dure It no longer, an ominous yellow en velope came to her. "Bert Harrlman seriously ill In B Hospital. Constantly calling Martha." Even In her distress Martha noticed "Bert," not "Bertie," mute tribute to his wining battle against birth Btgns, heredity and fortune. I,ess than a week later Martha sat trembling In the office of B Hos pital, while a sweet-faced nurse talked to give her. time to regain her control. "It was 'Martha, Martha, Martha,' till Mr. Dean, his employer, decided to look through his belongings for a possible clue. We found your name and address. and ventured to telegraph. He is rational now, but naturally extremely weak. You may see him, but not for long." "How did he get the fever?" .Martha quavered. "Overwork- Mr. Dean saw that he was doing too much, but his advice was not heeded. Mr. Harrison would reply that In six months he would take a vacation. Then came the great storm. Mr Dean warned him, but he would walk for two hours, no matter what the weather. Of dogged persistency to an idea, Mr. Dean said, he never saw hla equal." The nurse's keen eyea saw that Mar tha's trembling tips had grown quiet, and she answered the smile in her wet eye cheerily. But when at last Martha was by her lover's side, she was the weaker of the two. "I ftlt all day that you were coming, dear," hesatd, quietly. "You have waited toe me, haves t you?" Werctly restraint ob choked back her answer, but sfte li4 hr had on BwU ulltow. a4 iw was content. $,'et 4mr ihmr wU4 the ccwiMir t tha mtn- lif Witt fiAywboBk s tins. TpjMj0$B rQlL gfcaByp v For the Informal Bridge There are a. great many thoroughly competent housekeeper! who hnvo no Itiea ot the value of daintiness. These women have been keeping hoUs'e for years, and perhaps know tho "Ins and outs" of conomy nnd efficiency by rote, but you wilt find that half of them pay no atten tion to the llttlo things which go to make the home atmosphere, and the Home table, more than a necessity. Ma n woman -will give her family a good, substantial meal, served In sUih a careless, slipshod fashion that their ap petites disappear. Our modern young housekeeper has more daintiness In her, ns n rule, than i.iriclcnoj, and It Is hard to say which Is the more deplorable, a lack of the pioper knowledge ot cook li'g oi a 1,-uk of daltilliRss. Heie are n few combination sand wiches which nre useful for the after noon bridge, or the Informal Sunday aft ernoon lea. If properly made, tho will provo both ilalnt and nourishing. Flisl of all, to make a good sandwich re qulics more attention than most women imagine. Have a sharp knife ready, and cut votir bicnil vei.v thin A tluv, pict tlly shaped sandwich Is tnoie attractive than u thick, Indigestible iiiie. Mill um get the little Instrument to shape them like hearts, circles, etc., in any stoic for fi or 10 cents. Hi own bread, toasts nnd crnckcrB will give varlcU to uur dish. If you want assorted sandwiches. A cucumber tilling is vci palatable, nnd Is easily made. too. 5'ou simply slice the cucumbers vcr.v thin, ami lot tnein stand In Fiench dressing until ready to use. Servo with red peppers chopped nnd added. Sardine paste is another delightful sandvvkli, for the woman who llkts fish. Thcso must he the boneless kind, of course, and are combined with season ing, and the yolk of n hard-bohed eg4 or any other plenBlng paste. "Paiadlso" sandwiches Is the rather hyperbolical nnme given to the tomato nnd ma,vounalse sandwiches. These are delightful If thoroughly chilled, and the mayonnaise ndded Just a minute before serving. Otherwise, the tomatoes nnd mayonnaise will make your bread soggy. .lelly nnd nuts, In a paste of cream cheese. Is another goodie. These must nleo be prepared In a bowl. The Jelly should he red cm rant or grape prefer ably and the nuts finely chopped. Add a bit of sweet cream to the cheese it it is hard and mash with n sliver fork. These nre delicious when served on tonstcd saltine crackers. Deviled eggs are good when they are mixed with shredded lettuce, n they are Inclined to be rather tasteless without something clee These may be very highly seasoned with salt, pepper and paprica and Just a suggestion of garlic. The latter, delicately used, Ih often ln dctcctable. Cucumbers, with red and green pep pers, are good If mixed in with cream cheese and served on Boston brown bread. Ground nuts may be added to this, too. Plain buttered brown bread and nuts are good with afternoon tea All kinds of minced meats, of couise, are good, but do not be content to mlnca them coniselv nnd frerve. Season the mlxtme well and add mayonnaise, onion. chopped parsley or herbs, and remember that what may seem highly seasoned to jiou will not be too much so In a sand wich. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF POLINI'S GOWNS Miss Kmllle Polinl. the popular actiess In "The Hawk." sajs that the gowns de signed by Doucet, of Paris, for Mnrlna, arc a tremendous help In the Interpreta tion of the character. "The marked change in the character ot Marina between the flist act and the last Is psychologically typlled by her gowns In tho (list net of 'The Hawk' her gown convejs immediately to the nudlence the impression of a wealthy, gay and pleasure-loving wife, spoiled by a devoted and indulgent husband. There is a touch of eccentilcltj In the costume. The gown Is white, the skirt of pleated tulle, trimmed with embroidery of white jet. Over this U a long, loose tunic, quite medieval In cut, which is also trimmed with white Jet and a broad band of tailless eimine In the back. The wide ghdle Is of silver and white brocade. "In tho I.ibI act the gown suggests the woman subdued, serious and sympathetic. It is all black and with it Is woin a green toque. Tho gown has a black taffeta underskirt edged around the hem with a fringe of black Jet. The skirt Is veiled with black lace and a belt of blnck Jet ciosbes and recrosses about the hips, tying low In front. A long, sleeveless coat of black panne velvet bordered with skunk shows the transparent black lace sleeves of the grown. With this Is worn a large skunk muff.
