COLORS THAT LOOK
WELL TOGETHER

The combination of white and dark
blue is eminently becoming-white hats
trimmed with blue velvet and feathers,
or blue hats similarly arranged with
white, being the predominant mode of the
moment.
Plumes, fancy feathers, fruit and how-
ers, adorn the latest Partisan shapes, the
hats trimmed with aigrettes having COM
pletely disappeared.
Wood violet and navy blue cleverIy
combined look we'll, but require the taste
and artistic handling of a first-class
dressmaker to stand out from the crowd
as did a deliciously pretty frock worn by
prominent actress at the races recently.
The skirt OF the dark blue voile or
satin Unframed the svelt figure of the
wearer, the upper portion of the corsage
and sleeves made Of cream white mousse

A mousme, or japanese sash of deep
mauve MORE enZoned the waist, empire

hat Of dark blue straw, trimmed with
beautiful ostrich tips shading up from a
rich dark blue to mauve, completing the
piquant little lady's costume, with which
a rope OF pearls and long white suede
gloves were worn.

ALCOHOL WILL REMOVE
STAIN OF WAX AND RESIN.

Stains by wax, resin, turpentine. pitch,
and substances of a resinous nature, may
be removed by pure alcohol. II frequent
ly happens that when common turpentine
is employed to remove grease, varnish or
paint stains from silk, the turpentine tt
self leaves a stain almost as objection
able as the original one, which Il was
used to remove.
These stains are due to the resin which
is held in solution by the turpentine and
which remains In the silk after the vola-
tile or spirtuous portion has evaporated.
Alcohol applied to the stains with clean
sponge will remove the spots, because
alcohol dissolves the resin
The silk stains should be moistened
with alcohol first and allowed to remain
soaked for a few minutes. Fresh alcohol
is then applied with the sponge, and
with a slight rubbing motion. 1t is then
wiped as dry as possible, and afterward
permitted to dry perfectly In the open
air

BISCUIT BOX FOR
THE VISITORS ROOM
Comfortable Trifle that Can
Be Made at Home.

It is quite the fashion now to provide
guests who are staying in the house with
biscuits so that they may refresh them
selves before retiring for the night. Now
adays people are so dieted you cannot
tell when they will require nourishment
either in small or large quantities.
One lady always requested that a large
thick slice of bread might be placed near
her bed. This she proceeded to demolish
IN the middle OF the night, apparently
waking up for the express purpose of
making a meal She accounted for her
abnormal appetite by informing her
hostess that her case had been diagnosed
as one of peculiarly rapid digestive pow
ers, the bread gave them something to
think about, and kept them happy while
she went to sleep again.
Quite a nice little trihe for the guest
chamber is a special biscuit box, and
people who like to make things for fairs
will find these have a ready sale. They
also do very well for small presents.
How It Is Made.
Obtain an ordinary round baking pow
der can or something similar in shape,
which the cook will readily find for you
Then select piece Of furniture tapestry,
or cretonne would do, not too thick, or
Of too bold a pattern; something small
looks far better.
Cut a good-sized circle and cover the
outside OF the lid by sticking it firmly
all around the edge OF the rim. Do not
turn the material in, but cut it or raw,
and when firmly stuck down, add
round Il narrow gallon braid to finish on
ana neaten, Now cover the bottom Of
the biscuit box In like manner. bring
ing material little way up the tube.
Then take another piece Of tapestry
and cover the latter part being careful
only to eame Just far enough up to meet
the edge. OF the lid when 1t Is put on the
Elm. Finish round the top and bottom
with the gallon as before.
II locks so pretty when neatly made.
Somehow one would not expect to find

that tho visitor may at once discover its
utility. and viii not regard II as merely
ornamental. Find an advertisement In
which the word biscuits figures con-
spicuously. Cut this out and stick it on.
the lid, and then there can be no mistake
as to what this charming little box Is
meant for.

THIS Is LAST DAY
OF PUZZLE CONTEST
Everybody Is Impatient for
Coming of Sunday.

This IS the day for the puzzle ships to
put into port
Noon Is the hour, and the big boats will
be in on good time, for this Is one jour-
ney where schedules are observed.
Elsewhere on this page are a few of the
appreciative letters received this week
from members Of the Puzzle Circle, which
viii tell you, as I cannot, how much
pleasure the Tour Of the World" has
given.
But this is not all by any means, for
the mother of a youthful puzzler called
me over the phone yesterday to tell me
what a pleasant evening party OF little
schoolgirl and schoolboy guests had
spent In her home IN an effort to solve the
puzzle.
She sent me the solutions at which they
arrived and has promised a prize herself
to the most nearly correct list made by
any member OF her little girls party Of
friends
A few members of the Puzzle Circle
thought perhaps the admission OF the
children OF their respective families to the
contest excluded the grown ups In the
same household, but this is not the case
at ALL
Everybody Is Included.
Each member of every family.in WASH
ington is at liberty to submit one list of
answers TO any puzzle published ire
spective OF how many may be the lists
coming from single family.
The more the merrier.
AS was the case with three little sisters
this week It not infrequently happens that
members OF a family differ in their opin-
ions Of what should constitute the answer
to certain numbers Of g puzzle. and SO
each one goes ahead and makes a list
after their own ideas In the matter, which
Is, Of course, the very thing to do.
1t Is never wise to accept anothers
opinion.
Better trust your own Judgment, for the
answer you ind Is as likely to be correct
as the ono suggested to you.
A gentleman told me the other day
that his daughter would have won prize
last week had she not changed certain
number Of her puzzle because he thought
II was wrong
Go ahead next week and make your own
pie. inviting the rest Of the family To-
keep their fingers out.
The dear little folks are telling me
that they can hardly wait until Sunday
to find cut who IL going to get that dollar
promised as q prize to them. and the
big folks are Just about as eager to know
II their solutions were correct
Well.; Sunday Is not. Tar on now, and
then you'n know all about It.

and the aluminium afterward polished
with perfectly dry cloth.
Ebony Brushes-Before washing ebony
brushes, smear a little good vaseline
over the backs. This prevents the am

washed from injuring the ebony The
vaseline should afterward be carefully
rubbed of and the backs polished with
dry cloths.
New Shoes-New walking shoes some
times slip" at the heels and cause a
nasty blister. This can be prevented
by rubbing the inside of the shoes at the
heels before putting them on with a piece
of dry soap.

THE CHILD WHO HAS
WILL OF HIS OWN.

The child with will and determination
of his own is a difficult problem to COM
bat with and causes no end Of heartache
to his mother, who fails to see any re-
deeming feature in a trait that produces
so much anxiety.
This same strong will that is so hard
to curb, that has been the source of so
many bitter tears, will later in life, when
it grasps a difficult problem, clinch It
and never release its hold until 1t has
mastered the situation.
Gentle, sweet yielding natures are less
trouble to manage in babyhood and
youth, but it Is the properly trained
youngster with Opinions of his own"
who makes a success of life.
A strong will is of inestimable value
and should be looked upon as one of the
richest assets in life.
