SKATE THINGS

A new lot of skates arrived by the

this addition was inadequate to supply
the demand last night.

 Time wreaks itself upon the hair and skin. of a woman. It is a characteristic of the hair of some families to turn gray very early, even between twenty-five and thirty-hve. The hair begins to show silver threads as rule between thirty five and forty, and from then on to gradually become more and more gray about the temples and forehead, until between forty-fve and fifty it is often uniformly white, except at the back, which does not turn completely white for years.
 Do Not Try to Restore Gray Hair
 It is mistake for the elderly to dye the hair. The tone of the complexion will quarrel with any other tint of hair than that which Nature furnishes, and the result in majority of cases, is to make the person who colors the hair look much older.

 A room that is to be used for general purposes must certainly have a color that suits all purposes, color that has general utility and is of a solid matt surface, that is not easily soiled, yet is sufficiently dainty in tone to reflect light and still furnish a suitable background for pictures, bric-a-brac and furniture

 The evolution of house furniture is still going on, and after period of elaborate designing and the use of tons of wood in construction, the simpler styles of our ancestors are the most popular to-day.

for money alone is to be charged with the greatest atrocities ever perpetrated in the name of household decoration.
 The new home necessarily stands as a skeleton which is to be clothed with the vestments of our choosing; whether they shall be grave or gay, artistic or inartistic, lies wholly with the judicious selection of the occupant.
 It is not difficult thing to have artistic homes, attractive interiors, pro- vided we approach the problem in a systematic way, with a well-defined plan and even a moderately filled purse. The Importance of the Walls
 The first thing to be considered is the walls of the room, for they furnish the keynote for the color scheme of the apartment. This Is natural because the wall presents the largest surface; 1t is the thing upon which the eye rests at once upon entering the room. We may be attracted later by some article, some person, some thing, but first of all the eye will rest upon the wall surface. The

THE ETIQUETTE OF
 = ENGAGEMENTS


MANY people who are misinformed AvA about social customs, or who live far away from representative center of society, seem to be under the 1mpres- sion that the announcement of an en- gagement is matter which demands the assembling of friends, who are then told of the event by some member of the family of the fair fancee. Nothing could be further removed from correct usage than this idea; nothing could, in reality, be in worse taste than for a mother or anyone to invite friends for the purpose of announcing an engage ment and to tell the news in such a manner in the presence of the b1ushing bride-elect, while friends exc1aim, or evince their surprise, or rush forward to offer congratulations, or perhaps feel embarrassed at being compelled to say with good grace what is expected of them.
 The imagination cannot conjure up a scene more distasteful than this would be to anyone who possesses sense Of the fitness of things. No; it is not the correct custom to invite friends for any such purpose, nor to make young girl : a target for congratulations. There is a degree of reserve and modesty still ex- isting in modern manners.
 The proper and dignified way to an- nounce an engagement is very simple Its very simplicity seems to make it diff fcult to believe by those who fancy that etiquette must, of necessity, be an un- usual or extraordinary thing. The truth is that etiquette is intended to facilitate and to simplify life, not to complicate it Etiquette has, invariably, plenty of com- mon-sense and good taste about it.

GOOD LOOKS FOR
 THE ELDERLY "
Care of Hair and Skin Essential

O NE of my correspondents who has " passed her threescore years of life has written, asking me directions to i'm prove her skin, saying, "Notwithstand-. ing my years, I wish to look as well as I can.' This should be the desire of everyone, regardless of age. One ought D look as well as possible, not because of vanity, but because it adds much to his or her value as member of society But the greater reason is that the care for personal beauty in wolves, as a general thing, an added amount of health of body and mind.
 Women as they grow older too often become more and more negligent of their appearance. Mothers with the in creasing cares of family are apt to pay so little attention to their person that they are actually untidy. Some often practice self-denial and spend money on the children, but neglect to clothe themselves becomingly.
 With hard work and lack of means it becomes well-nigh heroic feat to keep up decent appearances, yet have seen it done; and the results of the effort

 THE day is fast approaching when
 A private houses will rival hospitals in cleanliness and sanitary furnishings. We are beginning to love cleanliness and to abhor dust and dirt as breeders of dis ease and discomfort. This love of cleanliness has brought about a change in our ideas of finishing and furnishing our houses.

 As soon. as old enough, each child should have some share in the house work. The task should be simple and something he can do z0eH. It should never be such as to fret or overwhelrn the child, and the reward should be mothers praise and uot nso1sey It is only fair to allow him as much time for his very own as he spends legitinrately in housework.
 ChiIdren's Rooms
 Older boys and girls are sure to have a. craze for collecting things, and take the greatest pleasure in arranging this collection in their own rooms [ This desire should be respected and et1- couraged. The countless "decorations" mean an immense amount of labor to keep in good order, but bargain should be made te 79,.~la.z
 Girls should be allowed to decorate exactly as they please, provided they take care of their own rooms. The same privilege should be granted to boys, pro- vided they give some service in return G. +1, <f. l.,
 The dining-room admits of any selec- ton of set furniture, but as far as pos sib1e have. everything in harmony with the woodwork of the room. If the decorations are red do not use a ma hogany dining set, but one of weathered oak. Old blue or orange or green are perhaps the best Setting for mahogany In choosing table, confess I am par tia1 to round one, which will always be in good taste. A sideboard should never be elaborate. A simple buffet with china cabinet and a small serving table is in much better taste.
 If there IS a small room fora cozy room or den, there could be nothing more appropriate than the Mission style of furniture. The walls should be decorated in warm, rich color, and with the selection of furniture offered in Mission styles will fill every need.
 Furnishing the Bedroom
 In selecting furniture for bedrooms, avoid that which is clumsy and heavy. Metal beds, perfectly sanitary, can be procured in graceful designs and dainty colors. Dressers should be made SO that they can easily be moved, and they should set up high enough from the floor to allow sweeping and dusting underneath.

sSq4aintances. The young mans mother writes to the members of his family connection and the young man himself writes to few of his men friends or may speak to them of his good fortune.
 All of the notes are sent out by post and sent simultaneously. At least the family of the young girl should take the initiative in the matter, it being under stood that a young man and his family are not at liberty to tell of the engage ment until 1t has first been made known by the family of his fancee.
 Receiving Congratulations
 In the notes written by the young girl and her mother it is allowable to men ton certain afternoon, near at hand, when they will be at home, very in formally, if friends wish to call. Friends usually hasten to offer their good wishes, or they send notes of kindly congratula- tions. Often they send flowers. It is fashion to send a pretty gift, a cup and saucer, or a spoon, but not obl1ga- tory to do so.
 The parents of the bridegroom-elect should call first on the bride-elect and her mother. After the visit is returned, it is ill order for Inequalities to be ex- changed between the two families. Din ners, theater parties and other enter tainments are given for the young couple by their friends.
 Congratulate the Groou
 The custom is for friends to con- gratu1ate man on his engagement and to wish happiness to girl. It is a mis- take to use the word Congratulate" in speaking to the young girl of her en- gagement. One would say something of this sort: T am SO interested to hear the news" or, q wish you every happi- ness," but to a man one would say: T congratulate you on your good fortune One would try to say something cordial or expressive of admiration about the person chosen.

softer, the more harmonious the sur face, the better the impression will, be, so the first thing to do in decorating the new home, or redecorating the old, is to take up the matter of walls seriously.
 The color scheme of room depends upon many things, but most of all upon the frontage, whether it be north or south, east or west Again, it depends on the use of the room, whether it is nursery, or a combination of all three. The size of the room enters into the equation, and finally, the nature and the trim of the standing woodwork.
 North rooms and the east rooms re- quire warm, mellow colors-colors that
