when 1t Is the same size as the other
room and can be e from the living

every respect.
This does not mean that either the
pattern or coloring should be the same,
although In many cases 1t IL advisable,
but merely that the general proportion
is to be observed.

As eyary room on a feor opens from

must be one that will harmonic with

paper should be chosen last, that there
may be no mistake In II.
The safest choice for hall papers Ia
self tones which are combinations Of

tones of the same eolors. A hall paper
whose background Is one color with a

Birthday Cake.-When a chiid's birth
day happens to fall on a special holt
day the colors appropriate to that oc-
casion can be used In the ~candles-as
buff and blue for the 22d Of February,
red, white and blue for the ~Independ-
ence day child and holly painted can
dies for the Christmas birthday cake.
Wonderful color combinations can be
made with colored ~ieings-put on with
a pastry tube in designs-and candles
to harmonic or form a contrast.
Every child should be given the priv
ilege Of cutting his own birthday cake.
Cunning birthday cakes Of tiny pro-
portions can be bought for baby's first
birthday. The one candle Is larger
than those used later and sometimes
can be bought with the child's first
name decorating it in gilt letters.
When for any reason a child has been
unable to come to the birthday party
at the last minute his slice Of cake
with candle attached is wrapped In
parafin paper and sent to him.
Sponge cake or a simple cup cake
batter is the best birthday cake for
young children, as many mothers are
fussy about their children eating rich

Lillis of Kansas City, whom Joan p.
Cudahy, the packer, slashed with knife
at an early hour in his home few weeks
ago, bas left here for New York. whence
he will sail for Europe. He said he had
disposed of nearly all of his interests in
Kansas City, and that he was going
abroad to live, to escape this damnable
notoriety." He declared that the persist
ent bounding of the newspaper men made
this step necessary for the preservation
of his mental condition.
Mr.. Lillis came here two weeks ago
planning a rest and then few weeks
retirement in Mexico, but found that his
movements were wired ahead of him and
the first to face him at every town and
station We're reporters. His presence
known, a stream of mail and kilograms
would be directed to him from all parts
of the country, and while apparently in
good physical condition he is almost a
nervous wreck
His brother-in-law and his sister were
with him here and will accompany him
abroad, but return in two months.
