Making a Star Role For Yourself By BEATRICE FAIRFAX "We do not oppose the part wo play *n life—hut whether we play that part well or 111. we do choose. The part was chosen for us b> the AI'THOR OF THF Pl,AY."—Eplctetus. Piscontent casts a gray shadow on all the brightnes of life. It occupies the soul with regret and causes the mind to feel maltreated and abused. It fills the heart with sorrow. It oc cupies so great a place in the mental and spiritual life of the one whb feels It, that there is no room for more active physical forces to drive it out. Discontent is not one of the vices that tafces possession of one forcibly and for evil. It is a result of de liberately fostered moods. What is more, it Is akin to one of the finest of the virtues—if only that virtue is not misdirected. Discontent can be turned into ambition, almost for the trying. The vice that embitters life and leaves its token visible tor all to see •—the vice that weighs down the mouth corners and dulls the eye of the physical being as well as of the mind and soul and heart.'can be trans muted Into pure gold for the mere try ing. How much did it ever profit any one to sit in sackclock anrf ashes crying either "Mea culpa—mea maxima culpa." or less sorrowfully and more bitterly complaining of the unfairness of life? There Is absolutely nothing to gain by feeling that you have/'made a mess of things"—or that you have not had "a square deal." There Is everything to gain in trying to make the best of the circumstances that surround you and to hew your way to a better set of circumstances. It is almost hackneyed to speak of Abraham Lincoln studying in his poverty-ridden shack in order to be ready for any chance that might come. And yet he stands only as a notable example of men and women who have acted so well the parts for which they were cast that a minor role unfolded itself and became one of the star parts of the part of life in which it was cast. The minute discontent is purified of Its feeling of helplessness, the second that It determines to cast off its gar ment of mourning and to gird itself for endeavor, that minute it ri?»s above whining inactivity to the shin ing realms of ambition. One Source of Sorrow T know a girl who makes it a source of sorrow that she has a discontented nature. "I can't ever be happy," says Gertrude. "I simply have one l>f those discontented natures that longs for nil the things it cannot have and that is bored by what is given. 1 am Just cursed by my own discontented ness. and the worst of it is that T know what is the matter with me. I have a jealous, envious, discontented nature." Woman Weak, Run-Down Finds Health in a Simple Tonic People in Harrishurg will begin to believe us when we say that our de licious Vlnol Is a wonderful tonic and itrength creator. Her* Is another case where it has proved its wonderful power to 3v»jcome Weak, run-down, nervous, maeml<" conditions. "I was run-down, nervous and could lot do my work without being entire y exhausted, and would often faint without any apparent, cause. The doctor said i was anaemic but nlrt>d to help me. My husband jrought home a bottle of Vi-j toi and I began to improve after 1 aking one bottle, and after taking 'our bottles it has built me up so 1 •an do all my housework without lelp.

Why not look about you and proceed to attain through effort all the best prizes in your circle of living? Coin your de sires into actions. Make of your own envy a force for trying to win some of the things you see others possess ing and long for too. I'se your dis content with what you are and have as a scourgv if need be, to being and having more. And in action your use less jealousy will die of lack of mor bid leisure in which to exercise itself and grow. There is a story told of a girl who found herself suddenly orphaned and poor, and with nothing in her educa tion or talents to win a livelihood. Stranded and Without ability, the fate of the "decayed gentlewoman" who lives a pensioner on the bounty of any relatives or friends who will give her a place In a chimney corner stared her in the face. And then it occurred to her that she had always dusted her father's priceless porce lains and ivories, since no maid could be trusted with them, and her steady fingers and loving patience made the dusting of these treasures a safe and pleasant process. What she could do was—dust! A most linromanttc role truly. Would you consider adopting It, Miss Dis content? But since ,lusting seemed to he the part this girl could play, she adopted it and did her best with it. She hrouKht intelligence. interest and enthusiasm to hear upon the task of cleaning house for rich folk who hated to entrust delicate ornaments and fabrics to careless hands. She started with one customer and at the end of ten years held the digni fied position of—curator of a museum. For in actum well the part caring for tine, rare things, she came to know much about them and to feel inspired to study them. Last year in the stage world the same principle was illustrated. A woman who had been playing minor roles in country town stock com panies was entrusted with the role of an elderly, cockney servant in a piece filled with many more attrac tive roles. But so well did the wom an act her part, and so cleverly did she portray the elderly and unattrac tive servant, that she was "the hit of the piece." If yofi play your part well enough—and it does not matter one whit what your part is! Be contented to play it—and ambitious to play it as well as ever you can. You are not "miscast" unless you make yourself a misfit to your part. There is a chance for success in doinK well the most trivial thing- For anything well done is worthy of applause—and of the more tangible and lasting thins— success. A BECOMING BLOUSE A Fashionable Model with Full Fronts and Plain Back. By MAY MANTON 8653 Waist in Military Style, 34 to 42 bust. This combination of full fronts and plain back makes a generally becoming blouse. It can be made vich pockets and with straps that suggest the military or may be made without those features It is hemmed at the front edges, and may be closed with buttons and buttonholes or in any way that may suit the indi vidual. In the picture, it is made of tub silk and that material always is a good one. but we will wear crepe de chine blouses and handkerchief lawn blouses and we will wear blouses of slightly heavier linen and cheviot as the season advances. Taffeta will be used for blouses too and this one can he utilized for the making of a simple gown as well as for wear with the odd skirt. The collar may be rolled open or buttoned up closely, consequently it is sure to be com fortable for it can be adjusted to the moment's need. For the every-day blouse of madras, linen or some similar materials the pockets may be liked, but .for the more dressy blouse of crfpe de chine or of taffeta, it is well to omit them and also the straps on the cuffs. For the medium size will be needed 3M yds. of material 27 in. wide, 2yds. 36, 2 >4 yds. 44. The pattern Xo. 8653 >s cut in sizes from 34 to 42 inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, 00 receipt of tea cent*. Soft, Curly, Wavy Hair Now Easy to Have (Woman's Realm > Beautiful, fluffy, natural-looking curls or waves, without the use of the ruinous curling: iron, are n>>w possible for every woman. Yes, not only pos sible, but very easily acquire'! over night, and with benefit to the life and health of the hair. It is only necessary to apply a little liouid silmerine before retiring, using a clean tooth brush for the purpose, drawing this down the fuJl iengtn of the tresses from root to tip. In the morning the hair will have a most delightful eurliness and lustre, without the least suggestion of grease or stickiness, and will be quite con trollable. no matter how the hair is done up. As ll'-uld sllmerine is procurable at any drug store and as a few ounces of It will last for months, no woman need rut up with that flat lank, dank ap pearance of th* hair which gives such an unwholesome look of plainness to most faces.—Advertisement. r< HAJRRISBURG TELEGRAPH SENT TO YOU ON E WORLD FAMOUS J]|| J rentier JG¥\ ELECTRIC CLEANER eS ' - hat ' s exact b* what we mean.

In most of tho houses that have beer, erected in recent years by local contractors the ordinary coal range has been installed for heating as well as cooking purposes and Mr. Mac Wi lliams' plan is unique among Harris burg builders. In trying out his plan he has obtained the co-operation of the Harrisburg Light and Power Com pany which offered the use of an elec tric range and equipment for the pur pose. Cur company," snid Mr. Mac Wi lliams last evening, "is planning to put up another half a dozen modern houses in the near future I helieve and we are anxious to try out the best equipment available for the purpose from a viewpoint of efficiency, econ omy and convenience. We had been considering the installation of elec tric ranges Instead of the coal ranges and in order that our future buyers might not be disappointed we hit upon the plar. of testing it out ourselves. Thus far the scheme has worked out admirably." How Does Government Forecast the Weather?
