Black and gray are the colors most
used. The liking this year for gray
is perhaps explained by the rage last
year for ecru. 1t is n swing-bac of
the pendulum. The gray is very pale,
almost white, and so is best suited for
dress-up gowns, while the black goes
for travelling and other utility wear.

FOR BEAUTY AND COMFORT.

One actress who suffered from thin

When a woman at ball, in a low
gown, finds that she is taking cold from
too much draught, she can save herself
many hours of suffering if she will i'm
mediately begin to take several long,
strong breaths; this will stimulate the
lungs to renewed energy and thus fresh
blood will be sent to the chilled extremi-
ties of the body to offset the conges-
ton there.
No matter how mother may dislike

BEST DISINFECTANT.
Pure Air Is More EnicHcious Than tn
NiOSI Costly DruEa.


Most Costly Drugs.
After all that is said Of disinfectants
in the drug line, the best is pure air
and in large volume. At least all other
dsinfectants are very inefficient, I'M
less plenty of pure air accompanies
them.
All rooms that are to be disinfected
should have plenty of air admitted to
them as the first requisite of beginning
operations. Often it will be found
quite sufficient in itself to disarm mild
Iontagion.
The majority of people are too sensi-
tive on the subject of letting pure air
into sick-rooms, where an abundance
of it will prove not only of immense
benefit to the sick one, but be the safe
guard of the whole household. Direct
drafts of air upon the patient are al
ways to be avoided, unless, perchance.
it is case of suffocation, when air in
quite vigorous motion about the pa
tient is what he most needs. But there
are ways to keep the best of air in a
sick-room without putting the patient
in any peril, and ways that will prove
the means of getting him out of peril
from confined, unaerated contagion.
Certainly If the rest of the house is
filed with good air, it may enter from
this source and do much to purify and
disinfect the sick-room, point never to
be neglected,
AS for the sick-room itself. and hope
ii has more than one window, would
advise that board the exact length CT
the width of the window be placed un-
der the lower sash. This board should
be about six or eight inches wide, and
be a good fit. After two windows are
raised upon such boards, you will have
a good supply of air coming constantly
into the room-a fine Interchange
never striking the patient direct.
Fires may be run and regulated so
that the patient undergoes no risk OF
getting cold, and room is warmed
easier when it contains a goodly por-
ton Of oxygen within its limits.-A. p.

THE MEDICINE, FAD.


Latest Whim of the Summer Girl is
CommendabIe One.
Not the least fetching fad of the
summer girl is her medicine chest.
The large shops that cater to fads are
showing handsome leather boxes in
tan, green or brown about six by ten
inches square containing from eight
to a dozen clear-cut bottles with ground
glass Shoppers. Over the ground glass
stopper is a silver screw top. The box
fastens with leather straps, and when
closed has very professional look.
Inside the cover of the box there are
small straps in which are slipped a
pair of surgeons scissors with flat
head on one point, so that the scissors
can be slipped under bandage with
out piercing the patient. Two rolls OF
surgeons bandages ready for use, a
pair of tiny steel forceps and small
lance complete the surgical tools.
This is the kit" of the summer girl
who has the medicine fad; and all who
come in contact with her claim for her
the palm of cleverness over all the
other summer girls with their respec-
tive fads.
The medieine bottles in the box have
distinct aim in the preservation of
health. The box holds dozen bottles
in all. In the first row there are trav-
cling remedies, camphor, lavender wa
ter and aromatic spirits of ammonia,
the first for headache, the second for
refreshing tired nerves and the third
for faintness. In the second row there
are simple remedies for common ills,
toothaehe drops, phenacetine and filled
prescriptions from home physicians.
The third row is devoted to summer
ills, paregoric, hot drops and Jamaica

ginger for the green apple season-for
the medicine girl is nothing if not prac
teal. The last row has arnica for
bumps, witch hazel AMI sleeping po-
tons. And tucked in around the bot
ties are sticking plasters, corn salves
and all the known remedies for sun
burn, chapped hands and that tired
feeling" The summer girl can fix you
up in any circumstance, and if she hap
pens to be stopping at your place by all
means cultivate her acquaintance.
{ A little library of First Aid for the
Wounded'' goes with the medicine
chest. 1t consists of three little VOL
umes. One is devoted to bicycle acct
dents, possible and probable, and how
to get the patient in shape to reach
home with the aid of an ambulance.
The second is taken up with drowning
resuscitations and mountain accidents,
which are both quite different from
bicycle falls. The last is quiet talk
about maladies and a hint for their
diagnosis. The first symptoms of
imeasles-that common complaint in
every summer hotel where children
are found-and the initial perform
ances of mumps. whooping cough and
chicken-poX are all set forth; so that
the man or woman who catches these
from the fiaXen-haired angel of the
house may not die a thousand deaths
from fright before realizing that he or
she is afflicted merely with chicken
pox instead of some dread scourge. THE
best thing to do" is the title of the con-
Guiding chapters in each book.
The bicycle medicine girl-and she
is legion-has straps fastened to her
box, which she attaches to the wheel,
Tightening it as much as possible first.
Very small medicine chests that will
go in the toolboX come for Dicyclists.
For camping out there are large. square
medicine boxes, very complete and very
ornapental: and for an ocean voyage
or cruise upon yacht there is a
medicine chest with distinct set of
remedies.
1t is a very attractive fad, and ens
that has useful end, not always TO
be discovered in the summer fad.--

With these dolls the little princess

Their feet were so fixed in the long

One of her other sports was riding
out on her white donkey, whose head
was adorned with blue ribbons. An
old soldier led it by the bride. Some

Victoria had to study much harder
than many little girls, for she was to
be fitted for most important work.
She began to learn from books when
she was five years old. Later she was
trained to speak French and German,
as we'll as English, and, by the time she
had reached her eleventh year, Ital
ian, Latin, Greek, mathematics, music
and drawing were added to her studies.
The princess was very fond of draw
ings, and early began to sketch from
nature. She was much interested in
natural history, and was delighted with
her first visit to the British museum,
taken there. She also took much
pleasure in learning simple botany,
which she studied with her uncle Leo
pold in th6 woods.
Another pastime she found in visit
ing her Uncle King" as she called
George ~, then king of Englnd.
At IS years of age, before she was
really grown to womanhood, she was
crowned queen of England. When it
was time for her 10 marry she didn't
have to wait until some nice young
man asked her. She had to do the asking
herself, because the queen of England
is so great that no one she could marry
could presume TO ask her. She con-
fessed to her dearest friend that pro-
posing to Prince Albert was the most
trying ordeal she had ever expert
enced.--Chicago Record.
