Certain browns and pinks consort
most tremendously and with much dis.
tinction, but one must choose the right
shades. A pink broadcloth frock of
creamy tea-rose tint, trimmed in
brown velvet, worn with brown furs
and big pink tulle hat trimmed with
brown plumes and a touch OF fur
around the big crown, excited much
enthusiasm at recent tea and the

ing possibilities to any clever artist
in dress. The finish of skirt Is three

of brown velvet, with a gold embroid-
cred line, fills in front Of coat and the
belt around sides and back of coat is

deep-turned cuffs are similarly treat
ed and fastened with two gold but
tons.

55l people will these prizes.


Around the freside or about the well-lighted
family reading table during the winter evenings the
children and grown-ups play with their wits
and see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number of words
will each receive little box containing $1,000
gold piece.
10 persons will each win one box containing
$500 gold piece.
800 people will each win a box containing sIoo

highest number of words over all contestants will
receive a box containing $1,000 in gold.
1t is really most fascinating bit of fun to take
up the list evening after evening and see how many
words can be added
A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play.
Any word authorized by Websters Dictionary
will be counted, but no name OF person. Both the
singular and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes
The letters in 'Y-I-O-Crape-Nuts' may be re-
peated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by Webster will
be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all
those beginning with a together and those begin
ming with L to come under {, etc.
When you writing down the words leave
some spaces, in the A, L, and other columns to
fill in later new words come to you, for they
will spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some contestants will
tie with others. In such cases prize identical
in value and character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each one will be
requested to send with the list of words a plainly

favored in natural advantages-Ne
England, for example-there is much
to be done in improving natural con-
ditions and opening new opportunities
for successful rural settlement.
But 1t is not enough to make the
land ready for its highest uses; the
people must also be made ready to
utilize the land. Every boy and girl

in line with our great need of increas-

abling the country to meet the de-

South is beautiful and promising as
it is, but how much more beautiful
and promising it would become with
the adoption of public policies which

In connection with what is known

work has been started by Irish ladies
in village close by Dublin.
Three industries were selected
namely. the printing of books, embroid.
ering on Irish linen and the weaving
of tapestry and carpets; and some
exquisite work has been produced
One of the leading ideas of the pro-
moters has been to produce things
which will be recognized as Irish both
in style and design. In the carpets,
for example. all ordinary patterns are
discarded in favor of those recogniz-
ably Irish.
Many of the workers are Irish peas
