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,

"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

proves of it and said 'Vinol is a won

MONDAY EVENING,
What a useful bit of knowledge you
have in your power of self-analysis.
Gertrude! Why not go after some of
the things you want? 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

Soft, Curly, Wavy Hair
Now Easy to Have

to apply a little liouid silmerine before

the purpose, drawing this down the

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

Builder Tests New
Range in Residence
For Future Dwellings
With a view to selecting the most
serviceable modern cooking equip
ment for houses he expects to erect in
the future George Mac Williams, 2150
North Fifth street, head of the con
tracting firm of Mac Williams Con
struction company, is testing out an
electric range in his own home.
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."
