Brown & Co.
There are scarcely any questions so
perplexing 10 the housewife as What
shall we serve at my party?" what
table decoration would be niceY" What
kind of favors should give?" etc. 1.-THE
Party Book amply solves these questions
and many others.
II is divided into four parts. The first
is devoted TO different types of dinners
and luncheons, with chapters on the cor
rect invitations and menus. The second
part takes up table decorations, color
schemes. centrepieces, Jack Horner pies
Of all kinds for various occasions, candle
shades, place cards, nut and bonbon
holders, table for special holidays and
functions, and all the necessary informa-
ton for bridal parties of every kind. In
formation regarding refreshments for
evening parties is conveniently included
I'm part three. and contains besides, ways
OF serving ice cream, hot and cold drinks,
cakes, sandwiches. salads. etc. The
fourth division is really quite unique, with
its appendix including the college colorS.
nicknames for the states OF the the United
states Of America, bIrthstones, birth
flowers. etc, all OF which arc intended TO
be suggestive to the hostess who is
searching for the appropriate verse,
favor etc.
The book is profussy Illustrated with
good photographs. themselves highly sug-
gestive. and the menus and recipes are
new and simple
IL Is most valuable, this mine of party
information. not only because of its in
dispcnsabie content, but because IL Is so
admirably arranged for the cony enience
OF the average reader.
Miss Fales and Miss Northcnd will be

gloomy that il Is impossible to read in it
without injuring the eyes. In the older
apartments and houses, where there are
only the middle lights In the room. the
only way Of solving this difficulty is by
the use Of table lamps. These should be
selected In view OF their usefulness, as
well as their decorative merit. Good look
ing and practical lamps are made for
both electricity and gas, as well as for
oil. Few "city bred" persons realize the
real value of good oil lamp for reading,
or the cheerfulness that it's light adds TO
the living room.
Another valuable asset is a really COM
Portable and inviting davenport or couch.

NECESSITY OF CONTRAST.

Contrast is also necessary, in the coiol
scheme carried out Complimentary COZ
ors are usually selected, though wonder
full results car also be got by using
light and dark tone OF the same color
such as light and dark green, yellow ana
golden brown. terra Gotta and deep ma
hogany. While conflicting co!orS may
sometimes be used most effectively II Is
a dangerous venture. The effect so got
IS superficial and theatric, and therefore
soon becomes very tiresome. Ones Nv
ing room should always be put together
with the idea that it is 20 be lived IN.
While certain simplicity should be
maintained here as in the rest OF the
rooms in the house, there is more I'D
erty for the use Of pictures and other
ornamentation. For this reason plain
wall covering is preferable. II VIII he
a better background for pictures and for
everything in the room. The overdraper-
les may be Of figured material, but not
too strong or brilliant in design. The
use Of rich design and coloring in the
furniture coverings and such accessories
a : the table covers and pillows is always
effective Here strong contrasts may
often be used TO the advantage Of the
whole room.
Care should be exercised to avoid the
use Of too many warm colors or too many
cold colors together. In a room that is
mostly green or blue or gray it is neces-
sary to introduce warm bles Of red, yell
low or orange in the pillows or coverings
to bring the room together and avoid
monOtony. \ single brilliantly colOred

May be promoted by those who
gently cleanse the system, now and
then, when in need of a laxative
remedy, by taking the ever refresh
ing, wholesome and truly beneficial
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA,
which is the only family laxative
generally approved by the most
eminent physicians, because 1t acts
in a natural, strengthening way,
and warns and tones up the in
ternal organs without weakening
them.
1t Is equally beneficial for the
very young and the middle aged, as
it is always efficient and free from
all harmful ingredients. To get
its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine, bearing the name Of
the company-California Fig Syrup
Co., plainly printed on the front
of every package.

Four remarkable children appear in
the early chapters of John Fox's serial,
"The Heart of the Hills" which be-
gins in the April Scribner--a boy and
girl from the mountains, and boy and
girl from the plains of Kentucky. "The
Heart OF the Hills" is Of rather
later period than MIR. Fox's previous
Kentucky novels, this one dealing
with some political and social events
that are still vividly remembered
From time to time there is positive
announcement that branch " the
Grand Trunk Pacific will extend from
the middlewest Of Canada to James
Bay, at the foot of Hudson Bay, and
there q great seaport win be built
which viii convey the grain from
Western Canada directly to Liverpool.
George T. Marsh describes the country
through which this railway is likely
to run in an article in the April
Scribner, entitled "The Albany Trail
to James Bay" He made the journey
of thirteen hundred miles by canoe.
Frederic G. Howe, in the April Scrib-
ner, comes to the Defense of the
American City" He does not believe
that they are our most conspicuous
political failures; he sees in them
many things to praise. such as our
library systems and the efficiency Of
our tax system. For some years he
says, German cities have been adjust
ing their real estate taxes TO Amer
ican methods.

ciated Press. will contribute to the

Hornung's "Witching Hill" stories,
which are now appearing in Scribner's,
