CoIors For Houses.

The safe colors for a house, besides
red. are white. gray. yellow and brown.
Yellow or gray, with white trimmings,
suits many a plain pitch rooted or
square colonial house. Grays and
browns are good for ugly nondescript
ones, the grays always being pleasanter
on the yellow shades than on cold blue
tones. White suggests the former type
again. 1t is a very good color for Il
country house, showing it up from a
distance in fascinating glimpses. for 1t
needs trees about it and flowers to
sparkle against its walls. Such a house
will be attractive when the leaves are
gone from the trees. for the bare
boughs will serve TO soften the effect.

XN every large city OF the United
States and in many of the smaller
ones the Salvation Army. modern
Santa Claus to tho down and out.
Is collecting funds and making ar
rangements for the feeding OF the poor
on Christmas day. 1t is estimated that
half million square meals are sup
piled to hungry persons in America
through this one agency of charity.
Four years ago Miss Evangclinc Booth,
Salvation Army commander in Ameri-
ca, declared that the armys Christmas
guests. drawn from the sternest ranks
of want and sorrow. numbered at least
100000. Since then the dinner giving
organization has expanded its work
greatly. so that the estimate of half
million meals TO be given away this
Christmas Is believed to be well within
the probabilities.
This is not to be taken to mean that
half a million hungry persons will
gather about long and laden tables In
vast halls. TO be served on the spot
with food Stcaming hot. In each of the
larger cities several thousands gather
at such spreads. but in the aggregate
they constitute comparatively small
part of the grand army of indigcnts
which is supplied with rations obtained
by the Salvation Army through a sys-
tenn of benevolent forage. 1t is the
basket "handout," sent or carried TO
the homes of the poor, to hut and
howell to damp basement and desolatc
attic. to the crowded tenement In the
slums and the ghetto. that makes up
the major part of the Christmas free
feed.
AS n matter of fact, tho Salvation
Army acts merely as agent in this
bcnevolcncc. The army oversees the
job. The army serves as between,
with the contributing public on the one
hand and the receiving needy throng
on the other. The thousands of army
workers give their time and labor; the
thousands OF outsiders give their pen
mics. niclScls. dimes and dollars. Some
of them give also their jewelry and
other precious baublcs to make tho
Christmas pot boil.
Making the Pot Boil.
Tho boiling pot of the Salvation
Army's Christmas fund solicitors has
become almost a national institution,
incident to the last three or four weeks
before the holiday. In the big cities
the blue bonneted Salvation lassie or
the blue bloused Salvation man stand
ing beside the swinging gypsy pot has
become familiar figure. When. about
the first week in December the pot
makes its appearance here and there
at points where the passing throngs
are thickest the city dwcller uses 1t as
a sort of calendar to notify him that
Christmas is coming.
