ALL DULL AND DARK CoLoRS.
Prospects Are That Present Vogue
Will Remain with Us for Some
Years.

The faded. washed-out dyes continue
to be modish. In fact. nothing else is
seen.
All the new frocks appear old from
a color point of view and every wom
an looks alike as to figure. She is
long and lanky. no hips, no shoulders
and there must be absolutely no
shape to anything she wears.
The new dyes seem to take better
in homespuns, serges, etc. The bright
er dyes are seen in cashmere de sole.
satin merveilleux, etc.
The latter stuffs are much prettier.
because more vivid; yet by the side
of the rusty shades they appear ab-
solutely loud.
There is no doubt that an epoch Of
dark or dull colors Is here to remain
perhaps some years. It began early
in the autumn, when black and blSck
trimmings were all the rage. 1t has
been continued, though in duller re-
suits.
There is no life whatever about the
dark tones and the lighter ones are
faded and hard, yet quite attractive.

The late Paul Stanley, composer
of 'Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay, took no great
pride in that songs success" said a
San Francisco musician. He had
hoped to succeed as a composer of
grand opera.
When he lived here he often talked
with n quaint kind Of melancholy about
the high ambitions OF his youth. and
how they had become humber as he
got older.
"A mans ambitions dwindle, he
once said. like girls matrimonial

AROUND THE HOUSE
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST
AND IMPORTANCE.
Effective Method Of Drying the sma'
Articles That Are So sothersome
TO Preserve Cook Book
Laundry Convenience.

A Drying Hint.-Every washerwon.
an knows the nuisance of hanging out
a large family's doilies. and other
small articles. To pin them to the
line takes time and patience.
One old colored woman has hit on
plan of drying that saves her many
minutes. She had her mistress make
her long, shallow bag of strong.
white mosquito netting, with a draw.
string at the top and tapes sewed at
the corners and at intervals of three
or four inches between.
When the smaller articles were
ready for hanging on the line they
were laid carefully in the bag, the
string drawn up SO they would not
blow out. and the bag pinned to the
line by the tapes for the sun and air
to filter through the open meshes OF
the net.
To Preserve a Cook Book.-Every
housekeeper knows how her cook
books suffer If they must be taken to
the kitchen. Some women write off
favorite recipes rather than give a
valuable cook book to careless serv-
ants.
When this is out Of the question or
too much trouble. try the plan of hav-
ing sheet of transparent isinglass
cut little larger than the book when
opened. The corners can be weighted
by gluing on heavy fiat button to
each corner. These help to keep the
book open at the desired place. In
sist upon having the sheet placed over
the open pages while the recipe is be-
ing used.
A pane of glass can be used in the
same way, but there is danger of cut
ting the fingers unless the edges are
bound with heavy paper or piece of
colored muslin.
Laundry Convenience.-A woman
who is doing over her house adding a
new laundry has hit upon a plan for
indoor drying that will mean less ter.
ror on rainy wash days.
Around two sides of her laundry she
has run shelf about six or eight
inches wide, at the height of low
plate rail. Under this shelf are hooks
any number of them, on which the
clothes can be hung when they canno,
go on the lines out OF doors.
The shelves are convenient places
to stow irons. pots and pans that are
not in everyday use. boxes of soap
and all the other odds and ends thai
are so Cutlery in a closet.

renders them more susceptible to the
