MIxGLING OF TONES.

There has been SO much question
about whether or not the hat should
match the gown. 1t has been asserted
that the morning street suits should be
complete in color from head to heels,
but more latitude was allowed in the
afternoon.
This may be dictate Of fashion. but
in practice one sees the costumes
matching in hat and gown almost en-
tirely.
When sombre colors are used there
is often a wide dash Of another color in
the hat, which may or may not match
the collar Of the coat. but If this collar
is in another color from the coat. the
trimming on the hat must mateA it.
In most eases complimentary colors
are used, but fastidious women prefer
mingling different tones OF one color.
1t might help those who are unde-
eIded about such combinations to re-
member that most shades OF red 20 to-
gether. that black can be relieved by
crimson. yellow, pale blue and emerald

small quantities.
Violet can be combined with any
other shade Of purple or lavender. and
pink can be touched on with certain
tones Of red, always with black. and
with white, but the latter Is
not very effective.
Black and white Is not as favored a
as 1t was, except in GER
tain ways, such as white plume on
black hat, and bit OF fine lace at the
neck and wrist Of black gown.
Green should rarely be touched with
except with shades OF the
same color. although now and then one
sees an effective combination made
with a touch Of white on green, and
black is good for an informal gown.
Gold goes well with brown. but sill
ver should be avoided. yet silver should
be used on blue and light green In pref
srence to gold.

WHEN THE VOICE FArLs.

Eleanora Duse speaks in a recent ar
ticle Of the mental anguish suffered by
speaker or singer whose voice begins
TO fail. She recalls her misery when
her voice began TO show signs Of IA
tigue during the first act Of Ilay, and
later when it failed altogether for three
months. and finally describes her joy
when she found that she could control
and develop muscles which she did not
even know existed. and which removed
the whole trouble. The difficulty had
not been in her throat, but in the way
she used her voice, which she discoy-
cred only by coincidence.

ENGINEER,s JUMP FEVER

In party Of locomotive engineers
who were talking about old time fellow
craftsmen, reference was made to one
old timer who had come TO his death
through Jump fever" Whats Jump
feyer?" inquired an outsider, who was
interested in the conversation.
Jump fever" explained the engi-
neer, ''is sort Of hallucination that
affects some engineers and leads them
to leap from the cab to escape a sup
posed impending collision. It's mostly
freight engineers that are affected.
On long runs out West freight engi-
neer may be thirty-six hours at the
throttle without much chance for rest,
owing to mishaps. He gets sleepy,
and dozes in the cab. All Of a sudden
lie wakes up, but his faculties are scat
tered, and, what with lightness of the
head and the motion Of the cab, he
gets an idea that d collision Is about
to happen. In semi-conscious state
he dives out Of the window, and the
chances are he's goner when he
lands. The engineer we referred to
had done the trick twice, but he was
killed the third time. out on the Santa
Fe road." Philadelphia Record.

SUNLIGHT AND THE HousE.


Sunlight is natures most health-giv-
ing scavenger. A house without sun
light is unhealthy and unsafe for hu-
man occupancy. and 1t Is necessary not
only to have some sunlight. but to
have as much Of it as possible. 1t is.
Of course, not feasible to admit the d.
rect rays Of the sun to every room Of a
house; the typical plan Of all houses is
square or reetan guar, and at least one
side OF the house is entirely beyond
the reach Of the sun. The other sides,
however, can receive more or less d.
rect sunlight, and the problem of the
plan Is thus reduced to arranging the
various rooms that the amount OF sun
light is adjusted TO their uses, and it
must be sunlight, for mere light itself
is not sufficient: the rays Of the sun
have curative and cleansing properties
that nothing else has.
1t IS generally admitted that south
ern exposure is the beet for all houses.
and should be obtained whenever pos
sible. 1t is imnaterial whether the en-
trance be placed on this side or not.
In dwellings of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens. but
in large country houses the old distinc
tion Of front and back to house has
disappe AIRED, and, instead. we have
the entrance front and the garden
front; the service and servants quar-
ters, so long regarded as characteristic
Of the back" Of a house, may be rele-
gated to side end or placed In a wing
that abuts directly on the front. In
such cases it must be well screened
and its purpose thoroughly subordin-

4 TussLE VIE 4 WILDCAT.

l a few weeks ago young girl. nine
teen years old. showed herself to be
possessed Of more bravery and nerve
than most men can boast Of. Miss
Gookins lives on a ranch with her
mother, and is engaged in raising An
CORA goats. During the past month
she noticed that every week several
Of the young goats were missing. The
foothills are infested with wild bob
CATS and mountain-llons, and tracks
of these wild animals disclosed the
fate OF the kinds. What the girl did
Is told by writer In the Los An
geIes Times:
Miss Gookins one day mounted a
mule 10 60 to the home Of neighbor
few miles distant. Instead of taking
the road, she decided on a short cut
across country. AS she was ascending
hill the mule gave evidence of fright,
and refused TO proceed. The young
woman dismounted. hitched the mule.
and went on foot to investigate. She
did not carry SO much as a riding
whip.
As she approached small tree over
hanging the trail she saw wildcat
on one Of the branches. 1t snarled
and spat at her, but did not retreat.
Instead Of running, Miss Cookins
made detour and approached the tree
and the cat from the hill above.
Thinking to frighten IT, she hurled a
large stone at the cat. 1t struck the
animal squarely on the head. knocked
1t from the tree. and stunned 1t.
The girl then ran to an abandoned
house near by In search Of weapon.
She found an old, two-pronged pitch
fork, both points Of which had been
broken off. Returning, she tried to
stab the cat to death with the fork,
but the prongs Were not sharp enough
to penetrate the tough hide.
The animal fought fiercely, but the
girl managed to pin it down by hold
Ing the fork upon its throat. She
showed it down-hiIl toward an old gate
about two hundred yards away. Sew
eral times the claws of the creatures
hind feet cnt long gashes in the young
woman's skirt. Near the gate she found
a bar Of iron, and with that she beat
the wildcat TO death. Then she tied
the body Of the animal to her riata,
and attaching the other end to her
saddle, dragged 1t home.
