TO GET THE BEST EFFECTS.
Things Worth Remembering When
Having Room Papered.

When about to have a room papered
take into consideration the size of the
room, the height of the ceiling and the
number and arrangement of the win
dows, as well as the use to which the
room is put and the probable number
and kinds of pictures you intend to
hang upon the walls.
Small patterns add to the apparent
size and are good in a small room.
Striped effects give height and should
be employed where the ceilings are
unduly low. Plain papers are also
suitable in small rooms and are best
calculated to show off engravings to
good advantage.
Where the ceiling is unusually high
and a plain paper has been used
dado of contrasting or harmonizing
color, run about the top, just under
the ceiling molding, improves matters.
Yellow paper lights up dark room
or one with northern exposure beau
tifully. Red paper is charming in a
library where the woodwork Is dark
and too sharp contrast to the dingy
covering of many beloved books must
be avoided. but it has tendency to-
ward darkening the room If the win
dows are not very advantageously ar.
ranged.
Green paper combined with white
paint is delightful in sunny room
of southern exposure, but green paper
is usually a fortunate choice, for 1t

monte with the other furnishings.
Paper carried over the ceiling gives
better effect than If the ceiling is
calcimined and adds to the apparent
holiness of the apartment

| ALONE AT CHRISTMASTIME
By S. BARING-GoULD

Is there-can there be-a man more
lonely than one returned from far
country, who has been out of his home
land for 20 years. and comes back
when his parents are dead, his old
friends dispersed, and the old nest
has passed to other occupants? And
can his loneliness be more emphasized
than when his return syncronizes with

Ralny.Day Closet.

Rainy days often mean trouble in
the household where there are plenty
of children, and some one has sug-
gested that the mother of such
brood would do we'll to provide herself
with rainy-day closet.
To it will find their way special
playthings reserved for state occas,
ions; pictures, scrapbooks, paste pots,
scissors, old magazines and paint
boxes Anything, in fact, that can
provide indoor amusement. When
the rainy day comes round the closet
may be opened and distribution of
its blessings made.
Children delight in novelty, and
the very fact that there is a special
treat reserved for the days when the
sun doesn't shine will go long way
toward alternating any disappointment
over the putting off of out7of-dooI
games and pleasures.

SIGNS OF AGE IN POULTRY,
Certain Marks Reveal Everything to
Experienced Housewife.


In choosing poultry the age Of the
bird is the most important point for
consideration When selecting tur-
key remember that young bird has
smooth, shiny black legs, whereas
those of an old one are rough and
reddish. If the bird is freshly killed
the eyes are full and bright and the
feet moist
The combs and legs of chickens are
smooth in the young fowl, but tough in
an old one.
When choosing geese see that the
bills and feet are yellow and have few
hairs on them. Old birds have de-
cided red tinge on both. The feet
should be pliable when freshly killed,
but become dry and stiff if they have
been killed some time. Geese are
called green until they are two or
three months old. ,.l
Ducks are chosen by their feet,
which should be supple. Wild ducks
have reddish feet, while those of the
tame duck are yellow. A fresh duck
should have a plump hard breast.
Tame pigeons are larger than the
wild pigeons and the feet, like those
Of poultry, show the age of the bird.
When the are supple the bird Is
young; when stiff it is ola.
Pigeons should always be eaten
while they are fresh; when they look
flabby, and discolored about the under
part they have been kept too long.
