An old blue paper, self-hued with an indis-
tinct figure, madras curtains with figure

blue rug with old blue and old rose and
brown figures The furniture is to be col
ored with cretonne in blue and old rose
also
The dining room is to be blue and green
with blue and green conventionalized
flower paper for the lower two-thirds and
a plain green for the upper third. Both
the rug and curtains will be plain green.
The kitchen walls will be painted buff
and there will be green and buff linoleum

How the Topaz is Colored.

The finding OF blue topaz in RhodesIa
Is an interesting discovery. 1t is not how
ever as has been -ated. a new gem For
although the normal color of the topaz 4:
yellow blue variety is by no means un
common. The Siberian stones, for example.
have a blush t!2se; those from the high
lands of Scotland are of a sky blue color.
The pink topaz # the jeweler is probably
always an artificial product as regards its
color. In 1850 a Partisan jeweler, Dumelle.
discovered that the yellow Brazilian topaz
when moderately heated acquired rose
pink color. The stone is wrapped In German
finder, which IS then ignited The resulting
burned topaz" is sometimes known as
BRA lillian ruby" So the blue topaz is some
times known as the Brazilian sapphire"

recover breath makes up for the difrerence
in time. If this advice is old. can 1t too
often be given? 1t Is not Selfshness for a
woman to save herself steps. To let some
one else fetch the forgotten scissors or pa
per or do the unimportant errands Is Wis
dom
Concern and planning for her own ease
may not be pleasant to an unselfish nature
but unselfshness can sometimes be shown
more truly in these little ways than In all
the determined self-sacrifice that super
ficially passes for unselfishness There can
be great deal of a certain sort of seinsh-
ness shown by people who seem to be ex-
tremely unseltish.
Do Not Keep
The alabastar boxes of your love and ten
derness sealed up until your friends are
dead. Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak cheering. approving words while
their ears can hear them. and while their
hearts can be thrilled and made happier by
them. The kind things you mean to say
after they are gone say before they go.
The flowers you mean to send for their
collins send to brighten and sweeten their
homes before they leave
II you have alabastar boxes laid away full
of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and af-
lection which you intend to break over
some ones dead body. rather bring them
out in her wearied and troubled hours and
open them, that she may be refreshed and
cheered by them while she needs them.
She far rather surely would have a plain
coffin without a flower. a funeral without a
eulogy, than life without the sweetness
of love and sympathy. Let us learn to
anoint our friends before their burial-be-
fore their deaths.
Post-mortem kindness does not cheer the
troubled spirit dwelling on earth. Flowers
in the coffin cast no fragrance backward
over life'S weary way.
Failure
Is nothing but education, nothing but the
first step to something better.
A young art student who had just finished
a picture tearfully cried out that it was
another awful failure but her instruct
ress, seeing her work. took brush and
palette and applied few quick strokes
here and there. and 10. the failure was a
thing of beauty. The young woman learned
to add the finishing touches to her own
failures and they won prize after prize.
Students in the school of business know
that thousands of great works of art and
wonderful inventions have been lost to the
world on the eve of accomplishment, be-
and disheartened when but a little more
work. a little more time, a little more per-
severance would have impaired the finish
ing touches and converted the crude picture
into a work of true art
Perseverance is the open sesame to the
door of success and self-confdence is the
only one from whom we can learn the
watchword. Self-confidence Is the mother
of perseverance.

Recently from day to day the News
has published clippings from Texas pa
pers commenting editorially upon the
Bailey controversy. These clippings
have included, from first to last, ex-
pressions from a number of Texas
papers. both great and small, perhaps
majority of the State papers. They
were taken entirely without reference
as to which side of the question they
favored From an examination of
these clippings il is found that the
great majority are opposed TO Senator
Bailey's reelection. If, as some of the
friends of Senator Bailey and the sen
ator himself say. the people are almost
unanimously in his favor, is II likely
that the overwhelming majority Of
Texas newspapers would be opposed
to him? AS a rule the press of the
State voices the sentiment Of its peo-
pie. Taking this as true. there is only
one conclusion to be arrived at as to
