Just as the rejoicing over the going
out of the long skirt is at its height
comes the melancholy intelligence that
the high heel is coming in. OF course.
this means that women will go about
with their bodies titled forward and
their minds, in the opinion of many,
tilted backward. There are fash
ions that excite smiles and some that
provoke derision, but 1t is more in sor-
row than in smiles that one criticises
the high heel. For If report be true
this instrument of fashions torture
brings many physical woes in its wake
and makes weak eyes and sprained
ankles commonplaces in woman's ex-
istence. 1t has always been associat-

women who will always cling to COM

is much to be hoped that the high
heels will be adopted only by women
who tread the primrose paths which

The Icmect Of Colors.

White makes woman look big, in
nocent winsome, and classic. Clear
white is for the blonde, cream white
for the brunette. Is it not the woman
In white who has all the attention, and
the wide-eyed young thing in white,
with blue ribbon. who captures all
the beauX?
Black is the thinnest color a stout
woman can wear; indeed. the woman
who wears black to best advantage is
she who is stout and has black eyes
and black hair.
In gowns of certain colors flesh seems
to shrink; in others to expand. A sub
dued shade of blue, heliotrope and
olive green, with black, of course, are
the colors under which flesh seems
less ostentatious, while certain shades
of blue, pale gray and almost any
shade of red are to be avoided. Mauve
and the higher shades of green are the
two colors that in decoration about
the throat and shoulders are especial
ly helpful in diminishing the effect of
flesh.

Most housekeepers know how inval-
uahle newspapers are for packing away
the winter clothing, the printing ink
acting as a defiance to the stoutest
moth as successfully as camphor or tar
paper. For this reason newspapers are
invaluable under the carpet, laid over
the regular carpet paper. The most
valuable quality of newspapers in the
kitchen, however, is their ability to
keep out the air. 1t is well known that
ice completely enveloped in newspapers
so that all air is shut out, will keep
a longer time than under other condi-
tions, and that pitcher of ice water
laid in newspaper with the ends of
paper twisted together to exclude the
air, will remain all night in any sum-
mer room with scarcely any percepti
BILE melting of the ice. These facts
should be utilized oftener than they are
in the care of the sick at night. In
freezing ice cream, when ice Is scarce,
pack the freezer only three-quarters full
of ice and salt, and finish with news
papers, and quality of the cream is not
perceptible from the result where the
freezer is packed full of ice. After re-
moving the dasher it is better to cork
up the cream and cover 1t tightly with
a packing of newspapers than to use
more ice. The newspapers retain the
cold readily in the Ice better than a
packing of cracked ice and salt which
must have creviees to admit the air.

Economy in Small Things.

It Is q difficult task to economize In
the present day, and yet be we'll
dressed gaily or woman. Still, If you
are a clever one, there are many
ways In which you may save money
and yet look as well as your richer
sisters.
For instance, with a good pattern
of q skirt, last years one may be
made to look like this year's-that is.
If 1t was homemade in the beginning
1t is very fatal mistake when you
have had dress from good tailor or
ldressmaker to spoil it by unskilled al
iteration. AS a rule, 1t would be far
better to wear 1t as it is, well made,
even II not quite so up to date, than
to transmogrify it by less skilled
hands.
The golden rule of economy is to
have few clothes, and as good as you
can possibly have them and as fash
ionable. 1t depends on the life the
wearer leads. People who go about
a good deal in town and country, and
have to put in an appearance at thea
tres and parties at restaurants and
in private houses, find 1t exceedingly
difficult to be always suitably dressed
without spending great deal of
money, and II you are mingling with
very rich and fashionable people it is
apt to be a problem how possibly to
keep up with your fellows.
