At the same time it frees the form which hoe, been lost in the ugly puff. The costume in question will be made entirely of strong materials, so that the shape may be maintained, as, for instance, of heavy silk, broohe or velours.

A •pretty good rule for obtaining .true happi- ness, if acted upon in the spirit it is given. If we would pay more attention to the present, die things aboot is, not losing. sight of the future, and turning our backs on the past, letting the pan bury ite dead, we would be much more happy. Half of our troubles in this life are on amount of our disposition to grieve over the "what might have beans" and our apprehensions of disaster and evil in the future.

To be sure our lines met, be oast in dark and troubled waters, yet there never was a tirae so badas to be utterly void of some- thing to help us to bear the heavy load with which we may be burdened.
