High Heels and Hobbies,

Taken singly, high heels and hobble skirts are sufficient handicap for any woman; taken together, they are more than the sex can sustain in safety After the study of 73 cases, covering a period of three months, the Pennsyl- vania railroad has reached the conclu- sion that this combination of high heels and hobbies is responsible for a large proportion of the injuries us- tained by women while getting on and off trains and in mounting or descend ing station stairways. Heel caught on step of coach and tore off," and High heel caught while descending stairs; wore hobble skirt" are typical entries in the reports of accidents.- Leslie's.

AS TO CHOICE OF COLORS
What Should and Should Not Be Worn by the Woman Who Has Left
 Youth Behind.

Baby blue is, of course, out of the question. but there Is soft, pretty shade of pastel blue that may take its place and prove extremely becoming to the woman who has been fair in her youth. The faded tones of mauve, heliotrope and wistaria will be equal ly kind to this type.
 Tones of old gold will be better than fresh, vivid yellows for the dark woman of uncertain age. and faded or burnt orange should be preferred to the genuine shade.
 Old rose will now take the place of true pink Pale, soft old rose Is one of the best colors the prematurely passee woman can adopt, because it may be described as just an echo of pale pink, the color of youth, in the same measure as the woman is leav- ing her youth behind her.
 Soft dove grays are often becom- ing, relieved with cherry color or sun set yellow. Reseda is the only shade

of green that can be worn unless there is pink tints in the cheeks. then dark green will be becoming.
 Deep, rich ivory, soft old rose and silver gray are colors recommended for evening wear.
 Black Is one of the most unchartta. ble tones this class can choose. nm. less, of course, in the case of a very stout figure. Then black will be her best choice. but it must be relieved above the bust with cream or ivory white
 Brown is color that should be an. preached with the greatest caution by the woman no longer young.
 It is all very well to say woman should match her eyes to her gown. but it Is not always true.
 Blue-eyed women can wear blue well, as rule, but not all brown. eyed women look we'll in brown by any means. It requires a very good complexion and pretty dark hair-not iron-gray-to carry brown success. fully.

MOMENTS LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They We're Rec ognized as Real, and We'll De-
 fined by Law.

iilCu pJ GdW
 Ancient, indeed, are the prerogatives that are accorded to women in leap year. They are so old that none can tell just how or when they originated. However, the ancient Scottish parlia- ment gives us a date as well as law upon which to hang the right of wom- en to take the initiative in leap year, as convention forbids them to do in other years.
 In the year 1928 this body passed a law which, in it's quaint old English, expressly conferred on womankind the right to propose marriage in leap year, Here is the law, just as it was written the parliamentary records:
 "Ordonit that during ye reign of her maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden, ladee of bath high and lowe estait, shale hae libertie to speak ye man she likes. Gif he refuses 10 talk hir to bee his wyf, he shale bee mulct in ye sum of ane hundridty pundes, or less, as his estait may bee, except and alwais gif he can make it appeare that he is betrothit to another woman. then he shale be free"

A BOON TO WEAK sTOMAcHS.
By Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

 When the Risleys were invited to paper-bagged dinner, they came pre- pared to scoff-and openly. Charming people both, but bit difficult. Espe- cially the husband. The root of his difficulties I had long since set down as a stomach maladroit, in doing it's whole duty The stomachs owner took on fat too readily, but did not gain strength approximately to his thriving
 Therefore I permitted them to be in at the death-the death of several paper bags, the resurrection of their contents When the broiler came forth bearing a biggish bag, black brown at the corners, and ready to crack at a touch, they stood smiling, but critical, waiting to see what l would do with it. Catching the bag either side the cut, lifted it gently 1t came apart along all the seams, re- vealing chicken, roasted to the most delicate brown all over. But when the carving knife went in there came out the finest flaous juice, and in such quantity it was possible to add "dish-gravy" to the plates as well as that in the boat.
 q never tasted real chicken be- fore" young Risley said, as he took a second helping. His wife gave him an anxious look Be careful, dear" she urged. You know, you've been on the verge of bad spell all week" His answer was to take another sweet potato, and help himself to succo- tash-both had been cooked in bags. Salad he disdained upon hearing that there was In wait a damson roly poly-by help, of which he rounded out noble meal. His wife also ate heartily to my great joy. But I saw apprehension in her eye, until the very last.
 Early next morning she called me. Jack slept like a baby and says he has ot felt so well in ages,' she said. Where can I get some paper bags?"
 M. Soyer states positively that pa per bag cookery is fine for contrary stomachs. My experience backs him up in this statement.
 The succotash which ! made for my friends, the Risleys, was prepared in this manner.
 Suecotash.-Boil one pint shelled lima beans in slightly salted water half an hour, drain and put while hot into a well buttered bag. Add green corn cut from the cob-four to six ears according to size, butter the size of an egg, half tumbler of rich milk, very little salt, a dust of pepper, and a teaspoonful of sugar. Seal bag, lay on Broiler, and cook fifteen min utes The beans are parboiled thus to avoid overcooking the corn, which requires much less time.
 Plum Roly PoIy.-Damsone are my | favorites for this, but any ripe, sound plums will do Wash and stew them, pick out the seed, md if very juicy, drain away more than half the juice. Sweeten lightly-no spicing is needed. Make puff paste, roll it out in long | strips a quarter inch thick, sprinkle | sugar op the upper side, then spread thinly with the stewed fruit, roll up and pinch the ends tight. Roll in a little lump of extra butter. Cook thirty minutes in a hot oven-forty if the roly is quite big. Serve hot with sauce made from the extra juice,
