CAROLINE ON
COLOR BLENDING
She Chats on the Vogue Of Red and
the Revival of the Paletot.

Red, Of which we shall see good deal
during the autumn. is always rather a
dificult color TO wear unassisted hy some
other shade, while, on the other hand.
the choice OF such subjunctive colors Is
exceedingly restricted. Black of course.
white with reservations. and perhaps a
very lule pale blue, are admissible with
a very dun red, but not with the brill
liant scarlets and crimsons which VIII un-
coubteily figure this season. 1t has been
given the inevitable French woman TO
discover that drab and red lie down har.
moniously together. and In an autumn
model" composed of crimson creme de
chine there is a second blouse bodice Of
drab mousseline de sole. 20 which square
shaped bolero Of ivory lace. trimmed with
steel and silver seduins, gives last de-
licions touch of harmonious Uniting. The
sleeves OF rel crepe, forming a small
drapery at the shoulders. are trimmed
with the drab mousSeIine de sole at cuTs,
and an enticing neck arrangement. cerise
ribbon, drab chiffon ad embroidery. COM
pletes not alone an uncommon but q most
engaging costume.
Among the various novelties are pale
tots OF Scotch stuffs. The paletot is loose
nj front, tight-fitting in the back and has
upon the shoulders, extending from the
collar. two short peierines. They meet in
front while behind there is room fro,a
the neck down; from the waist down II
has fan plaits on each side. II seems
that the watteau fold is being brought
into notice again; for Instance. two small
Vatican folds form the skirt Of jacket
of peculiar appearance. 1t might be called
a golf jacket. 1t is made Of shawl with
woven-in fringe. for instance. new blue
with checked back. This style has sleeves
like a jacket, a hood on the back and is
garnished with fringe; it is made with
lap over. in such way that the buttons
are set little lower down and the upper
rart of the lap-over falls over and forms
a revers joining to the hood. In the waist
the back has a strap decorated with two
buttons; hits holds the Vatican folds.

HINTS FOR THE THIN.
Helpful Suggestions Regarding the Way

In addition, q nap in the middle OF the

one cannot sleep. one should lie down in

She should not tire herself bicycling. and
she should have plenty OF fresh air.

An Hour for the Children.

"Betwecn the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower
Comes pause in the days occupation
That is known as the chndren's hour"
Some writer in The Christian Work asks
the very important question "What is tho
children's hour III American homcs?
It is true that some households devote the
hour "bCJWeru the dark and the daylight
10 the children of the Homeland it is also
true that in many more there IS never
given an hour or even half hour to the
amusement Of the little ones. When We
consider how much pleasure ii gives Il
Child to be noticed. or share the confidence
and sympathy of parents we wonder why
more time is not devoted to them. in the
present time when the business ANA rush
Of the world occupies almost the entire time
of the father of d family, he has but lIjto
opportunity of becoming acquainted with
his children: but one hour gwen
to them, joining In their romp5
and games, helping them in
tier school tasks would do more to bring
them into q sweet fellowship and 6ceet an
influence over the child that time would
never utlace. We plead for an hour for the
children. Let it be entirely thyrs. Let
them plan their own games, tell their own
EXPERIENCES and bring their every JOY and
sorrow to the mother ANA father
Some beautiful thoughts on this subject
We're advanced at one of Mr.. AIoody's con-
ferences by an English preacher aud may
prove profitable to many parents. He said:
