The difference between doing and planning I It is the difference between success and failure, between comfort and poverty, between independence ' ~ and dependence. It seems hard to have a sermon on Monday with Sunday’s church just over but this is just the season for planning, and the danger is that not half as much doing will be done as should be, nor half so much success meted out to the majority as might be. It is so easy—no, so hard—not to find excuses. _ The woman who writes plans to be up and doing as soon as she has her eyes attend ed to, as soon as she finds work for which she is fitted (the beginner must fit the place.) The ambitious housewife plans to put up jams for her friends, but waits to do it until the fruits are gone. She plans to save here that she may spend there, and then forgets the saving and is worried. The instances are endless as they are trivial where we plan to do and the planning is our undoing. The thing is to do—to go blindly on anddo the one thing you have selected and not turn aside. Your friends may be more gifted, but in the end they seem less successful than you because, quickly and effectively, you do while they lay brilliant plans but never have the hen’s dumb patience to bring out the chicken. There is so much talk now about “stooping' to'succeed.” Well, if it is a choice of evils, which is best~—to stoop to succeed or to lie right down a dead weight upon others ? There are thous- ands Of men, as well as women, of whom it is said that they are “too honest to succeed.” The successful are, then, too-honest to eat that for which they have not ~ worked, and they are decidedly the most agreeable of the two classes. After all, moSt success means Only the ability to do. It does not mean great chances or great ability except ' in rare and glaring cases. The power and the will to do make all the homes that dot the earth. Usu- ally it makes all the comfort and all the joy, for if you consider most of the wrong done is primarily negative—not that of doing, but leaving undone. If a man or woman does wrong it is because first they have ceased to do right. But what a veritable sermon this is, and all about the difference between . planning and doing, and, apropos, sim- ply because the winter, with us our working season, is now nearly upon us, and we are likely to spend about three months in planning to get ready for Christmas at once, and then have just one day in which to rush and tear and do it—all wrong. No, do not plan, but do this fall, and prosperity will wait upon you. M 92.74223. 1%?00. m Vv’ T0 MERCHANTS. The opening-0f the fall season 13 now at hand. times.

The directors of this company are among the most conservat ve and prominent men in the financial circles of New York. Those who are interested in the Klondike should read the notice of the new company printed in this issue. —————¢o.o>-——-———- reflecting in, m GAZETTE. i All indications point to good . Banana Sandwiches. Banana sandwiches are sometimes .. served as a simple luncheon dessert, or for the children’s table. The fruit is sliced and placed between brown slices of buttered bread. These are laid in a. shallow ghss 0:- china dish, and just before serving a pint of boiled custard is poured over and around them. An- other variation for the children’s des- sert is a wholesome substitute for the eclairs of, which they are so fond. Buy at the baker’s the long pointed finger rolls, and after one side has been cut down with a fork, dig out as m’uch'of the inside as possible. Have ready 3. little boiled custard made in the ordin- ary way, except with slight additional thickness gained either with a little gelatine or "by stirring in a tablespoon- ful of flour wet in a little cold mill. This is the proper proportion of a pint of custard. The custard 'serves as a filling for the rolls. At this season it is a pleasant variation to add a little of the strawberry juice pressed from fresh strawberries, or a. very little pine- apple or banana pulp may also be used to flavor the filling. Plain whipped cream or that over which a little sweet chocolate has been grated is another welcome variety. , It is the pastry of the eclair which is especially unwholh some for youthful stomachs.

They are many new and very attractive styles in batisto, India mull, nainsook, and bish- op’s lawn embroideries, while the Irish point and guipure patterns have lost none of their popularity. Blue Peppermint» To the pink, green, chocolate, and white cream peppermints is now added a bright-blue variety. Tlfe shade is as striking as the fashionable blue of rib- bons and silk, and is obtained by the use of a. harmless vegetable coloring. The fashionable cream peppermint lo- zenge is very large, at present being about the size of a silver dollar. A Lemon Bath. In the West Indies a lemon bath .Is almost a daily luxury. Three or [our limes or lemons are sliced into the water and allowed to lie for half an hour,.in order that the juice may be extracted. A remarkable sense of freshness and cleanliness is given to the skin. ' A New Si'lk "\Yaist. ’ A silk waist that can be compressed Into very small compass, taking up about the space of a baseball, and which emerges unrumpled and in ex- cellent condition, is one of the novel- ties of the season that is specially use- ful to travellers.
