Color Gossip.

Have human beings, like animals, Q
tendency TO clothe themselves in colors
that reproduce the prevailing tone Of
their surroundings? There is another
question for scientists who have dis
covered that different colors produce
differing effects on the health and dis
position Of individuals. At all events
color conventions in different parts of
the world are decidedly at variance.
For example, while we use black in
mourning the Chinese wear white
gowns, white caps, white shoes and
white ties on their cues. The royal
rolor in Europe is purple-a hue Of red,
not OF violet. as often misrepresented.
In China the imperial color is yellow,
and certain shade of yellow may not
be worn by the common people, but is
conferred upon high officials as a great
distinction.
Some individual color preferences are
historical. Cleopatra loved yellow;
Nine. de Pompadour delighted in a
charming mixture of pink and blue;
Napoleon's first empress. Josephine
wore the daring combination Of black,
white and emerald green. while Eu.
gene Field boldly declares that
Any color. so long as it's red.
Is good enough for me.

Let one side step forward in a lire,

Each OF his followers does likewise,
while some one not In the game keeps
the score. Then the other side takes

ence has discovered several methods

Recently n mare and colt belonging
to Wisconsin farmer were turned out
in pasture where there was a swamp,
After n day or two the colt got mired.
When the mother realized that be was
beyond her help she galloped 10 the
house and neighed and by her conduct
showed that something was wrong.
The farmers wife followed her to the
field. saw the situation and then got
her husband and other help to extri-
cate the colt.
In Michigan not long ago a calf got
caught in the fence, and its mother
gailoped half a mile to where some
men were nt work to let them know

kind can talk to each other. but II
has been proved thousand times over
that all domestic animals depend upon

She Should NefaembsP an OVefeFoWaoe
Bedroom 10 q Horror.
It is natural for every girl to want
her own little nest to look as attractive
as possible, and she should be encour-
aged in Il.
Let her learn to have around her the
books that are really hers, the photo
graphs Of her special friends, the little
pieces OF bric-a-brac which she has
picked up here and there and which
were given to her at different times.
But remember that there must be
sufficient space to move around COM
cortably and not to lumber the dress
ing table with tribes of no moment
when the room should be saved for the
brushes and the numerous boxes and
bottles that hold the toilet belongings.
An overcrowded bedroom Is a horror
and an inconvenience. Have one OF
two big easy chairs with view of not
only the comfort Of today, but OF the
time when it is possible one may be a
bit of an invalid and want comforta'
BILE chair to be enshrined In.
The chairs need not be richly uphoL
stored ones, but of rattan or Of wood,
made delightful with great soft cush'
Ions.
Try to make the nest as pretty as a
girls bedroom should be, and 1t viii
help materially in developing the sors
of woman all mothers wish thei:
daughters to be.

or routed fox out of his den a few
days ago. and their two dogs ran him
mile. Reynard made for harnyard
and upon reaching It ran directly up
to a cow and stood between her front
feet. When the dogs came rushing up
the COW went for them and tossed one
over the fence and badly gored the
other. When the boys arrived she 70
fused to let them enter the batnyard.
The fox hung about her until he got
good and rested and then went his
way. The COW couldn't have mistaken
the fox for n little calf, and Just why
she took up his battle so promptly Is
