first they began to come in they were
predicted fad, but that is proved an
error, and red, blue, green and brown
are staple cOlors for umbrellas, and
no one need fear getting one on the

If two tones are in an umbrella
which is one of the smart styles-one
is usually black, and that is the only
appearance of the latter save for
mourning. The latest color is green
a dark shade, let it be understood, none
of them are brilliant to any degree,
and shade of brown dubbed sstobae-
coz is quite one of the most chic. Suit
ability, and the general fitness of
things have led to umbrellas with han

THE MARKETING CARD.

Mistress and Maid.

1t Renders Household Duties Lightee to
Mistress and Maid.
Have you ever added to your kitchen
furnishings a marketing card?'' 1t is
a most convenient little affair, and no
housewife who has owned one will
ever be without it. Whether you do
your own work or engage the services
of maid the marketing card will be a
great help in keeping in mind the nee
essary pantry stores
A Boston .coolxing-school originated
the idea of the card. 1t, consists of a
light wood frame provided with slips
of wood, upon which are marked the
names of different housekeeping stores,
such as tea, coffee, sugar, soap, starch,
bluing, spices, etc.
Slots are arranged into which the
wooden slips can be moved, showing
up plainly against the light back
ground. This plan is most successful
in maintaining a wel1-flled 1arder, for
when particular supply gives out the
mistress of affairs has only to slip into
its place the correct bit of wood, which
serves as reminder of something
needed that might otherwise be for
gotten when the grocery order is given.
With little ingenuity a marketing
card may easily be made at home. Try
it Once.-GOlden Days
