77ie Woman Who Possesses "Poise"

Of nil the vnlualilo npt3 wlileli rt

goes Under the genernl ol fully ileserlp
tlve name of "polne" Tim terni Implies
a very preat denl nnd presuppose" n thor
oughly Wcll-b.ilHiiccd outlook.
What the model n uoimin renlU Inokfl
more than nn thins cIkp, nnd what bIip
should above nil Ftrle to nctiuhe, Is tlili
plft of polee I'"or II la nlMmpmtnnt that
File dhould be Its po'sescor Without a
well-balanced outlook nnd n calm,
composed nnsurantp of manner she never
will Ret nnywhete at all However, this
calln BBsurnnco of mnnnei should not lie
merely a suiface thin?, assumed for the.
due Impresslnit of one's neighbors. II
ought to ro verj much ilceper nnd prove
the oytwnrd nnd visible-slK" of a very
clear vision and a knowledge of what one
Is roIor to Ret.
The very youiiK woman Is seldom ovor
glfted with poise. Kor she has not lived
long1 enoURh to naiulre It fultv. nnd, al
though apparently she may have plenty
of self-assurance, life nnd the passlnR of
the, years nie really what develop the
quality most successfully.
Of all the pltiahlcjspcctacles one can
encounter, the woman who is totally
without poise Is about the worst. Kor her
dolnBs ami her snylnss arc all nervous,
heedless nnd without an sort of reason
or rhyme to them. She Is only successful
in one. particular line, and that Is in
catting Into dlfllculut situations nnd Im
possible positions from which she may
have, considerable difficulty In extrlcatlriR
herself. Kor without poise one really raii
not achieve, and life becomes iinmciniiiK
and purposeless.
The woman who docn't know her own
mind Is another e.uunplo of the type.
8he drifts aimlessly nlotiK, without pei
scnallty, without object and with remark
ably little ambition bejond the llcetliiR
moment or the passing pleasuie.
i olorless Individuals are quite plenteous
nowndajx. Their comings and roIiirs
leave so little Impies'lnn on our minds
tbnl we have illflleiilly In even recollect
irffi their outward nppearanie. And ns
far as r-hiitnrtrr Rots, thev ate entirely
destitute of Mint personnlltv without
which one leallv can achieve notlilMX.
"Ho n person I ' the ethical text-books

' should Mtilvo tu cultivate will-power, per-
minnllty, fi-elhiKS, alms, ambitions, so that
wo mn.v take our shale In the world's
work nnd the world's happiness.
Tim iu hievemelit of personality Is only
broiiRlit about by faclnt; the situation
boldly ami asking ourselves "What do t
UiIpiiiI to do vviiii my life.' Am I roIik
to develop Into something inteieatliiR,
sointtlilnK useful, something Kind and
MioiiR, noniethliii! which will lount as
worth while in n. world which promises
so much and can give so much If only
one knows the rlultt way to set to woik
nnd tho rlcht nttltuop to take?"
And If the nnavver Is In Hie affliinatlve,

"Yes, my dear," leplled mother cheer
fully. "1 am sure sure sure that no

"Well, It must have been tome time
since you were a little girl, mother," Mild
Mary Jane, "or else yuu'vo a very good

go out of doois!" Then for n few minutes
she kept still exiept for a drumming on

Uko a new doll-one that 1 wnsn't ac

Mother laughed. "And if there was
anything else jou wanted, Mary Jane,"
she suggested, "I expect jou would speak
of It. You seem to wnnt everything jou
haven't sot today."
"Yes, mother," replied Mary Jane meek
ly, "you see this Is such a 'wishy' iluy
And on a 'wishy' day I always want

I'll tell you w hat my mother used to make
me do when 1 wished for things I oculdn't

"Oh. good." rrled Mary Jane, and she
snuggled down tight ready to listen, "that
will be as good as a storj ! And then,
aiter you hav e told me what you used
'to do, may I do It now?"
"To be sure jou may," replied mother,
"and you will find It a lot of fun Just as
I always did. When I was a little girl,"
he went on. "and the rainy days came
siind I couldn't play outdoors, mother had
me remember all the things, 1 wished for
,1 had to remember all I wanted to have;
and all I wanted to do; then she gave
me a pair of her good scissors nnd some
nice white paper and I had to do It'"
"Do what?" asked Mary Jane, breath
lessly. "What did you do?"
"I cut them out' ' answered mother.
"Cut what nut "' asked Mary Jane
"I cut out mv wlslies," explained
mother "1 cut out a picture of eveij

EVHRY day some new fad or fancy in

all Its glory In their windows. Advertis
ing has Its nll-persuadlng charms for tho
woman with the fat pocketbook and rov

stores is iiiustiatlng Just what you can
buy in women's lingerie for n dollar note.
Kor Instance a lovclv white petticoat,
with deep cmbioidered flounce and
pointed idges. With a full flare at the
bottom and a drawing-string top, sells
for 51.
Another little petticoat at the same
price Is made of dotted swlss, with a
deep band of Valenciennes nt the bottom
nnd a soft edging of the same, finished
off by a bow of satin ribbon.
A sateen petticoat, also selling for It,
Is made, of course, for everyday wear
and comes in all the dark colora.
Machine embroidered nightgowns with
a narrow ctuny lace edge nre selling at
50 cents apiece
A pink crepo de chine envelope chemise,

Hand-embroidered vestees are always
useful for the light summer frock, they
are so easily changed, and so can bo k&pt

A silk sport sweater for tennis or any

When washing windows, always use '
lukewarm water, and add a llltlo starch I
to It Instead of soap. The icsiilt is beau

Itnlslus kept in a covered dish with n
small cup of water in the center will keep

NEMO WEEK'S
MESSAGE
TO YOU:
"Get Back
Your Shapely
Figure!"
'"PHIS Nemo Week is an event of vast
- Importance to all womankind. For
more than two years the corset business has
been a riot of fadB and freaks. Corsets were
little more than rags. Some women wore no
corsets, others were induced to desert the
corset-friends of a life-time to join the ab
surd, disfiguring and unhealthful "slouch."
But women are now wearing real corcets,
and have risen en masse to demand the Btyle
and healthful comfort that the Nemo alone
can give. As a result, the sale of Nemo
Corsets, especially the old, well-known and
favorite models, is greater than ever.
Nemo Week marks the annual high tide in
the corset trade. At that time, dealers
everywhere have full lines of Nemo Corsets,
You can get the exact model and size you
need. Therefore, NEMO WEEK is the
BEST TIME to buy Nemo Corsets.
