Cnenl, because as uSOal tNlng they
| have fair and delicate cOmpleXiOns
but, as matter Of fact, blue is the
one color above all others that they
ought to avoid. The contrast is too
violent and the com binatiOn is not
harmonious. The shades most suit
able to be worn with red hair are
bright. sunny brown and all autumn
leaf tints. After these may be Sc
lected pale or very dark green, but
never a bright green; pale yellow,
and black unmiXed with any other
color. Mixed cOlors are not becOm-
ing to red haired people, aS they
nearly always give them more or
less dOwdy appearance. In fact, red
hair is usually so brilliant and de-
cided that it must be met on its own
ground, and no vague, undecided
sort of thing should be worn with it.

Love.
The corner stone of the ideal home
is love; it is love that is its life; love
is its inspiration, its defense, its
crown of victory. Sorrow, defeat,
shame itself, are vanquished where
love has it's perfect work. so world,
where is thy sting? o poverty,
where is thy victory" is the pecan
of him who is sheltered in the love
that makes the ideal home.-EX-

Fruit and Grass Stains.
AS the season of fruit and grass
stains is upon us, with various and
often troublesome remedies recon-
mended for the same, it is agreeable
to be assured by Standard Designer
/ HnE ,ronor,1 4 l.. f.
plan to try the effect of pure water
upon stain, before using chemicals.
Most fruit stains, for example, can be
easily removed by holding the stain
ed portion over = vessel and pour
ing boiling water directly through
it. This is much better method
than soaking the article, as it pre-
vents the stain from spreading.
Another way is to rub the stain
with alcohol before putting it into
water, and still another is to apply a
little salts of lemon, letting it stand
| for few hours, when it should be
washed off in clear water. This, by
the way, is an excellent recipe for
the removal of ink spots, though in
all cases the stain will yield more
hand as soon as it is made.
Grass stains may be removed by
rubbing with alcohol, and iron rust
by immersion in a hot solution of
oXalic acid, followed by rinsing in
ammonia water.
