WOMAN'S WORLD.

NEVER HURRY, NEVER WORRY. This is a maxim ' that many a woman'aM girl might bear in mind, otherwise thoy stand a fair chance of barring their own way to success. It is especially me of the sensitive person who, in her anxiety to do her best, is very apt to give way to hurrying, and worrying. " * To keep calm- in. times 01 stress, ot coumi, is not an easy matter even for the strongest, but it can and must be mastered if one really hopes to bo successful, Unstead of getting flustered and worried endeavour to deal with things as they come along; don't commence upon a, second task until the first is completer In the end you will get through far more if you follow this fashion, and you will do your work mora satisfactorily, too. fpra CARE OF SHOES.

The belted co.it still has to be taken into account, tliu belt wide, medium, or narrow, according to taste and fancy. When the wide belt is employed, narrow bands of braid are frequently used as trimming, while a novelty that demands immediate recognition is black patent leather used in a like connection. Also, we have noticed little pockets in* troduced in or on these wide belts, a favourite style being a long, narrow pocket, with a scooped-out top, the two unper tabs secured to the belt by buttons. Very often these little pockets are finished off with a braid edging.
