Women With Empty Lives
:i> BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Of course, we all know the old
truism that Nature abhors a vacuum
—and we dismiss the idea without ap
plying it in any personal way to our
own lives. But if a vacuum is abhor
, rent in science and all the "ologies"
P' and "isms" of book and laboratory
life, it is equally so in the vast Held of
humanity. There is nothing that is
more unnatural and harder to endure
.than a life that is based on nothing
and filled with nothing.
The hard-working folk who must
grab for their very needs have no
right to bo half as sorry for them
selves as they are for the poor crea
tures who have to struggle to fill their
empty lives. Even if all one's work
does not bring in enough money to
buy warm clothing and good food and
proper housing, there is a certain ele
ment of fight and planning an inter
esting "gambling chance" to make the
life of a worker varied and free from
monotony. And in the montony of an
"empty life" there is a very painful
kind of misery, of which life's busy
workers are mercifully ignorant.
The sufferers from "empty lives"
muy be divided into several classes.
First of all one thinks of the society
woman, who, having no main inter
est, fills up her existence with all
sorts of fads and fancies. The work
er envies the idler when she sees her
lolling in her limousine on the ave
nue. It is true that the "butterfly" Is
probably sheltered and protected from
all of life's realities, but how is a
grown up woman to content herself
with froth and frivol and toys when
life in the very nature of things is
filled with big primal facts and neces
sities?
Beside the society woman there are
other sufferers from a vacuum in life.
There is the girl of the middle classes,
who sits quietly at home and permits
her father to do the wage-earning
and her mother to do the housework.
It ne\-er occurs to her that the days
she "gets through somehow" might
be far more interesting if they were
tilled quite full of real things instead

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young ! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Thickness
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu
riant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and foxing hair.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Kage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,,
though, is troublesome. An easier way i
is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing .
about 50 cents a large bottle at drug '
store, known as "Wyeth's Sage and j
Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a j
lot of muss.
While wlspv, gray, faded liair is not j
sinful, we all desire to retain our j
youthful appearance and attractive-1
ncss. By darkening your hair with i
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can j
tell, because it does so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge!
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by mornin all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.—Advertisement.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG C£s£& TELEGRAPH JANUARY 11, 1915. "
of treated BO that they are like boxes
with a few trifles rattling around in
side.
Then there is the wife who dele
gates all the real work of her life to
paid help, and never tests her think
ing and working powers to the ut
most; the young man who prefers to
be a waster instead of a worker; the
boy who never puts his mind to his
tasks, but says instead, "You ought to
have fun when you're young," and
the middle-aged man who lets him
self go to seed and prefers a game of
golf to a worth-while day in the
office.
All of these people and many more
whom you can easily name and clas
sify for yourself, are discontented if
not actually unhappy. Life seems to
them to be making no real demands
on them. They suffer because they
feel that there is no place in life
that would be empty if they failed to
fill it.
It would be simple enough for then,
to fill a real place in life if they, in
turn, let the demands of life fill their
own cxistance; but instead they put
a few trifles, a little work, a little
pleasure, a little whining and a little
impotent struggle' into lives that ac
tually crave to hold some big neces
sities. And in much the same way
that an empty shell of a tooth is
useless for work and active for pain,
a life that is not brimful of real in
terest either decays or stands, an
Idle, unbeautiful shell. Such a life
offends the observer and hurts the
owner.
The only cure for a sufferer from
emptiness In life Is to search for one
big thing to do, regardless as to
whether that big thing is the absolute
congenial choice of his nature. Out of
one big interest will spring many
little interests. One of these is bound
to lead to congenial work. And all of
the ennui, all of the boredom, all of
the misery and of the railing against
fate that beset a person who-feels he
has no place in the scheme of things
will sink away before the fullness of
life that is devoted to actually accom
plishing something in the world.
TH| OPEN TUNIC

One of the Latest and Prettiest Varia*
tions of the Basque Idea.
By MAY MANTON
8443' Tunic,'
34 to 42 bust.
The open tunic is one of the very |
newest. Here it is softly full and joined
to one of the prettiest variations of the
basque. It can be worn over any skirt
and it can be made to match the skirt
or of a different material. The sash that
is crossed at the back makes a becoming
and a notable feature and the neck can
be cut out and worn over a chemisette
as it is here or finished with the flaring
collar only. The sleeves allow a choice o(;
full or three-quarter length but for gowns |
of this kind, the full length is somewhat'
smarter. In the picture, chiffon broad-!
cloth is finished with a sash of liberty satin
and with a chemisette of tucked muslin.
For the handsome yet useful gown,
nothing better could be suggested but
chiffon velvet would make up most attrac
tively this way with a sash of satin, or th«
?;own could be made either of satin or ol
aille silk with a iash of velvet ribbon or J
of chiffon velvet.

tunic will require yds. of material 27.;

Directions For Clean Cellars;
Lime Best For Dampness
If rain gets into the cellar or there
is any leakage whatever to cause
dampness, have it attended to at once.
A dump cellar, aside from being dan
' serous, will ruin 'practically all foods.
Large boxes of lime should be placed
in the celalr and ime should be sprin
kled over the floor. For several days
there should remain in the cellar cans
of chlorifle of lime in water. ' This
purifies the air. Provide dry boxes for
fruit, which should be raised from the
; lioor by bricks. One brick may be
i placed under each corner of the box.
1 Even barrels should rest on bricks, or.
1 better still, should be set on long
| pieces of scantling.
A swinging shelf placed on Iron
hooks away from the wall is excellent
for holding baskets of onions, potatoes,
tomatoes and other things that one
wants within easy reach. When the
side, walls, ceiling and lioor of a cellar
have been swept and the shelves care
fully cleaned you may aply a good coat
of whitewash, or two of them if nec
essary. This finished, wipe up the
floor, throw open the windows, and
the cellar will at once smell sweet and
wholesome. Strictly speaking, clean
ing the cellar is a man's work and
should not be undertaken by a woman
unless in case of dire necessity, but it
is essential that a woman superintend
the task. A mere man is apt to leave
dirt in the corners and cobwebs in out
of-the-way places.
ADD FINISHING TOUCHES
TO PARKLAND SLOPES
Finishing touches to the rough
"fill" work on the River Front em
bankment south of Paxton street were
added Saturday by a big gang of men
under the supervision of Park Com
missioner M. Harvey Taylor.
All Saturday morning the big dump
wagons from the Second street, sub
way job hauled loads of earth to the
section where the workmen spread it
over the slopes. By noon this end of
the improvement work was practically
completed.
The results of the filling in of the
park slopes between Paxton street and
Iron alley are readily observable now;
the park strip in the extreme lower
end of the city has been broadened
until it slopes abruptly but uniformly
to the River Wall. Grass seed will be
sown there In the Spring.
TO IRON HAJVDKKRCHIKKS
When ironing handkerchiefs begin
by ironing the middle. If you iron the
edges first the middle will swell and
make the handkerchief very difficult to
iron and fold properly.
Always test the heat of the iron on a
piece of rag or paper before ironing
handkerchiefs, as being thin they
scorch very easily

WHITE lIROADCLOTH AND SERGE
The Dry Goods Economist says that
during the last few weeks a number of
suits of white broadcloth and of gabar
dine have been seen in Fifth avenue
and in the smart tea rooms of this city.
These suits were handsomely trimmed
with fur, were very striking in appear
ance, and caused considerable comment.
For winter resort wear many white
suits have been ordered In gabardines,
In serges and In poplins. The majority of
these are trimmed with white braid
and white buttons. In some Instances,
however, touches of blaelc are effec
tively used, and black-and-white lin
ings are also employed with good ef
fect. thus carrying out the black and
white combination idea which is also
expected to bo very smart during the
coming season.
PIPE CAUSES FIRE
A $lO fire was caused about noon yes
terday at the home of Daniel Schoff
stall, 1217 North Second street, when a
lighted pipe was upset on a table by a
roomer. The fire was extinguished by
Policeman George Fetrow.
