OLD GOLD AS COLOR SCHEME.

Women are in for a season OF old
gold as the primal color scheme for
costumes. IL will not be confined to

IL is an unwise choice for the wom-

the woman who has more than one
and can discard IT when tie season is

SUNRISE Dish for Diners.

In one Of BaIzac's novels there is an
incident in which a Partisan hostess
gives delight in an elderly dinner guest
by always having an extra dish, by
way of a surprise, for him. Something
of the same sort was provided by the
hostess Of a luncheon party at a
Broadway hotel the other day through
the agency of the head waiter and the
chef.
"Canape a la Russo" the dish was
called, and in spite of gastronomic
traditions it was the piece de resist
ance Of the meal. The canape was
shaped like a pyramid and was com
posed of such a variety of things that
it is not easy to. remember them all.
The base Of the pyramid rested on a
plaque covered with the grated yolks
of hard boiled eggs, bordered with the
hearts of endive. The first layer round
the base was composed of flets of
Russian herring, set in dainty strips OF
red pepper rinds. The next row above
consisted of medallions of caviare
framed in strips of green peppers.
Next was a row of slices of hard boiled
eggs surrounded by capers, this finish
ing the base. The shaft of the pyra-
mid was composed of first a fine ripe
tomato stuffed with celery mayor
naise; next an alligator pear, then a
whole ard.boiled egg placed upright
surmounted by a heart of lettuce.
These were all held in place by a long
silver skewer.

SHOWER BATH AS TONIC.
Beneficial for Those Physically Able
to Take Them.

Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower bath, but when taken
properly 1t has a tonic effect.
The best test whether 1t Is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in a glow
afterwards or feels creepy for several
lours.
The shock is not good for anyone
with a weak heart, and no one who is
lot well should use a shower except
by the advice of a physician.
AS a rule, the best time for a cold
shower is on rising in the morning;
he system is strongest then.
Do o stay under the shower too
long, a minute is quite long enough,
Gnless one has exceptional strength.
1t is well to prepare for the cold
. hover by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking a tepid shower and
gradually getting it colder.
Never take a cold shower whom chill
ly. The cold feeling is a sign that
your physical condition is not up to

and by a few physical exercises. Some
women go back to bed for five minutes
after the bath before dressing. The
