GRAY and Purple.

There seems to be a veritable cpl
demic of neat, light gray spring suits.
Every third girl one meets seems to
be wearing one, many selecting pur-
pie as the relieving note. A black hat
worn with one of these gray costumes
looked particularly attractive. The
low dome crown was left quite plain,
while on the wide straight brim near
the edge there was laid fiat feather
trimming in a rich shade Of purple;
around the throat there was worn a
close fitting feather ruff1e the same

q cluster of pastel toned satin flowers.

MAKE SCREEN USEFUL
DECORATIVE POSSIBILITIES ARE
MANY AND VARIED.
Ideas From the Japanese Worth Con.
sideration - AS Substitute for
Ordinary Door Perfect Color
Scheme May Be Devised.

AS decorative adjunct to the in
credited with recognizing and availing
themselves of the screen when plan
ming the furnishing of a house. And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be In decorative scheme.
By screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement,
but it Is also meant to convey the
finely carved and artistically designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one. find sometimes used instead of
doors. But such screen must be In
the right place, and decorators have
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind of
screen in the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and in modern
houses the screen is, to a certain ex-
tent, replacing the old-fashioned door.
That is to say, in a house boasting of
five rooms, and not in a suburban villa
residence. By the substitution of the
screen for the ordinary door house
of vistas Is the result. Long, rooms
leading one from the other, the decora-
ton of each so arranged that the color
scheme and furnishing seem to blend
artistically to form a perfect whole.
And that Is where the decorator tri-
umphs.
Today the four leaf screen has per-
haps reached a eliminating point in
artistic conception, and in the exquis-
ite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tiful examples which are made here.
For instance, for a Louis XIV. draw
ing room nothing could be more in har-
mon with the period than a screen IN
tapestry.
The latest Japanese screens are the
work of artists who understand and
appreciate the blending of the most
delicate and the most crude colors,
and the result is a masterpiece OF
needlework.
On dark background one design
represents a tall tree standing in
meadow, and in the long grass are
seen tiny white wild flowers. In an
other panel there Is a tree overlooking
a pool, the branches casting deep
shadows in the water. The framework
of the screen is lacquer.
Another beautiful screen represents
Mount Fujiyama and the Inland sea,
the rosy light reflected from the snow
clad peak shining on the water; beside
the lake, standing sentinel, there is
tall tree, the light shining on the trunk
and turning it to green and gold. In
the water there are some white ducks
disporting themselves. Each panel of
this screen forms a complete picture
Perhaps the most beautiful of all
was the screen in dull black cloth,
which formed a perfect background
for the scene depicted, tall purple and
white iris growing in a pool, the tall,
spiky leaves being so absolutely per-
feet and the flowers so wonderfully
worked as to make one doubt whether
1t could be embroidery. Over the pool
hovered a solitary bird with red
and blue head and long red Dill,
which gave the little touch OF color
which the picture needed.

Virtues of Mint.

Mint has many virtues. Well wash
ed, the leaves pulled from the stems,
slightly mashed and boiling water
poured over, there results a sovereign
remedy for nervous as well as stomach
troubles. Served in thin glass with
cracked ice and little sugar In 1t,
it cools and quiets the system gener-
ally.
In preparing the mint tea the bowl
Is kept closely covered until the con-
tents are cool: then strain, pour into
a bottle that can be closely corked-and
set on the ice. When wanted, Ice
should be pounded very fine and
little sugar added If liked. Some pre-
fer the tea unsweetened. but it IL
merely matter of choice.

asked Betty kindly.
Nothing more than a healthful ex-
erc1se-but We will not detain you,
ma'am; the pleasure OF seeing you is
something we had not reckoned on!"
The Judges speech was thick and
unctuous with good feeling. He wished
that Mahaffy might have been there
to note the reserve and dignity OF
his department.

"No Gloves Craze,

The mo gloves craze is making
visible headway. 1t is a season for
many and very large rings on the fin
gers, while more than a few smart
women are just now cultivating the
jeweled spider web, fastening from
rings worn on the thumb or index fin
gers and little fingers on to a narrow,
rather tight bracelet.
All these hand ornaments, together
with the several bracelets it is now
modish to wear at intervals up the
arm, render gloves difficult to wear
from the practical point of view, while
there is always the rooted objection
in human beings of hiding their light

A Hint.

The good housekeeper has a novel
way of keeping clean the top Of the
gas range. She places over the entire
top piece of asbestos paper, cutting
holes for the burners. The paper
catches and holds all overfovs OF
food and prevents them from falling
into the range, where 1t Is difficult to
reach and clean. By using the paper
while cooking and removing it when
the range is not in use, the work OF
frequent cleaning, backing and polish
ing as well. is reduced to a minimum.

Advice From kindly Busy BODY,

ooh, my! Your house has an odor
of burning milk. Don't you know how
to avoid that?" asked the K. B. B.
"I didn't think it was SO terrible
I'm sure. Everybody has accidents of
that kind" said the woman she was
visiting rather irritably.
Now it's all right, of course, don't
mind it, my dear, but next time just
sprinkle some salt on the stove at
once after the milk is spilled and you
will avoid that unpleasant odor."

Lemon Syrup.

One and three-fourths pounds Of sug-
ar, one quart of water, one ounce citric
acid, SO drops of essence of lemon.
Boil sugar and water one-fourth hour,
when cold add essence and acid. The
citric acid must be finely powdered.
Bottle closely, use two tablespoonfuls
to a glass of water. This makes an
excellent not weather drink and takes
the place of lemonade when it Is not
convenient to have lemons.
