This Question is Important in Paint

A proper color scheme is tremely
important in painting a house. 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And it makes big differ
ence in the price the property will
bring on the market.
AS to the exterior good deal de-
ponds upon the size and architecture
Of the house and upon its surround
ings. For good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes

Well Known Name.

Among the many namesakes OF
Thomas Jefferson is a colored man
who for more than ten years has
spent his time in humble but useful
employment. He wheels ashes and
rubbish of all sorts from the back
doors of the houses in one Of the dis
tricts of a New England town.
He has learned through the ser
wants in these houses many items of
interest concerning his employers
and their families, and has a decid-
ed belief in his own Importance to
their welfare.
One day the head of one family
went out into his back yard, and
seeing the negro at work over the
ash barrel, said, affably:
Lets see what's your name?"
Thomas Jefferson, sah," was the
reply.
'Ah!" said the man. Il think

What Sandwich Was For.

A stately old professor was ap-
preached by a young student one day
in one of the Western colleges. Try
ing hard to keep back a smile, the
young man asked:
Professor, you say you are an ex-
pert at solving riddles, don't your
81 claim that l am, my boy
'Well, then, can you tell me why
a man who has seen London on a
foggy day and man who has not
seen London on foggy day are like
a ham sandwich?"
The professor studied for a long
time, venturing. several answers,
which proved to be wrong. Finally,
at his wits end, he said:
81 give it up"
cts easy" said the other.
"Give it up" repeated the profess
"Why," was the reply, zone has
seen the mist and the other has miss
ed the scene. =. Ha, >ha! Catch on?'
-'Of course 1 do, you lunatic! But
what has the sandwich to do with
it," -
After the youngster had recovered
from a spell of laughter he chuckled:
ooh, that's what you bite on. -

American luxury, the front porch. :"
From Maine to California, from Da-

with easy chairs and hammock. 1t
is where she entertains her boy

who supplements his timid advances

mirer, who works for big concern
downtown, and who frankly hopes to
make her his wife as soon as his sal
airy shall reach the necessary figure.
The front porch is the scene OF many

LOW-BROWED DINNER
FOR TOPLOFTY RICH. -.
Description of Banquet Which
Was Certainly Not Spoiled by
an Overweight Of Intellect.

At a dinner given in restaurant
recently the hostess planned the
menu as carefully as if at home. The
decorations of the table were thought
ont by her.
There was a low mound of orchids
in the centre of the table. Across
each plate lay an American Beauty
rose of the regulation size and length
of stem, but made of satin and silk.
On each leaf in gold letters was
printed one course of the menu. At
the back of the rose was a cotton
filled recess which just before the
guests sat down was sprinkled with
rose extract, so that even in odor the
American Beauty was natural.
That was surprise number one.
Surprise number two came when
what was apparently croquette was
put before each guest. In reality 1t
was made of some sort of composition
and opened in the middle, showing a
folded, very narrow, long strip of
white paper, on which was written:
Bryan is in the soup, not in the Gro
quette." AS it was just two nights
before election, this was timely and
not displeasing to the guests, who
were all Republicans.
Another surprise was the serving
of dinner rolls in each of which wasja
chunk of lead, giving unexpected
weight to the roll. 1t was the sjpH.
lest of dinners, and yet the four men
present were all men of affairs past
their first youth a good bit. Count
ing the relishes and a vegetable
entree, there were just six courses,
and the guests sat down at 8 and
finished their coffee at 10.
Imagine the innocent fun Of the
chunk of lead in the dinner rolls
But why were the guests spared the
-honored joke of the teaspoons
of specially prepared amalgam that
melts when placed in hot coffee or
tea? The four men guests were past
their first youth a good bit" So we
should suppose. They could not have
been so very far from their second

Time so successfully, provided we
give enough attention to the roten-
tiaIities of, and to the individuality
in, dress. 1t is duty that women
owe to society to make the best OF
themselves. But a great deal of the
success of a gown depends on the de-
gree to which it is in harmony with
it's surroundings. To be overdressed
is worse than being shabbily dressed.
However beautiful a frock may be, if
it strikes a discordant note with its
surroundings much of it's beauty will
be lost.-Ladies' Field.

The Source of All.

When we see the million rain
drops of the shower we say, with rea-
son, there must be one great sea from
which all these drops come. And
drops and countless rays of goodness
scattered about in the world, little
good in this man, and little good
in that, shall we not say, there must
be one great sea, one central sun of
goodness, from whence all human
goodness comes? And where can
that centre of goodness be, but in the
very character of God HIMSELF

WOMEN NOT TO BE JEWEL SHOPS
DELICATE QUESTION IN COURT

How high can woman hold her
skirt on a damp night and still re-
main lady?
It was up 10 Judge Neelen, in the
District Court at Milwaukee, Wis, to
decide it, and he made a ruling in
which he fined Miss May Walters SIS
for getting past the lady" stage.
Patrolman Becker was the ETH
quette expert and he said that when
a woman's skirt was up forteen inches
in the rear and nine in front and had
a waist attached which was more or
less peekaboo, the limit had been
reached.
The court agreed with Becker that
a dress could be held too high, and
he approved of the arrest of Miss
Walters.
S. The patrolman added that he had
looked sharply and had seen no fluffy
ruf1e stuff under the outer skirt, and
that was one reason why he thought
the gown was deficient.
