~ptneapples were plentifully, we have
a reserve of choice pineapple to use
for all sorts OF desserts, salads and
cake filling. The favor Of the home
canned Is much better than that which
we ordinarily buy.
Chiffon sa,ad.-Take a half cup each
Of dates. flgs. pineapple and three Or
anges and three-fourths OF a cup of
sugar. Cut the oranges in halves. re-
move the pulp and put the shells OF
the ice. Cut the fruit In small pieces
and mix with q m~ayonnaise dressing.
Fill each orange cup with the mixture

a tablespoonful OF whipped cream on
top. Serve on lettuce.

vored apples into dice, add a pound OF
stoned and CHARTERED dates, mix with

Two eggs well beaten. four table
spoonfuls of vinegar, a tablespoonful
Of butter and a tablespoonful OF sugar.
Season with salt and cook over hot
water until thick; remove from the
fire, and when cool add a tablespoon

Orange and Date SaIad.-This ia a
salad particularly nice to serve with

ARTISTIC new
WINTER HANGINGS
Double Curtains For Windows
and Heavy P~ortieres For Drafty
Doors Will Add Much to the
Family's Comfort.

U N country houses that stand In ex-
posed situations one of the chief
problems about this time is the
keeping out of the cold winds.
Double windows and weather strips
are all very well II available, hut with
out them the cold gets In through
cracks. Then double curtains, such
as those illustrated here. are a wonder
full convenience, and they give a finish
to the decorations Of the room.
These double draperies are especial
ly desirable for easement or for bay
windows. The ones pictured here of
tan velours cover curtains of renais-
sance lace.
Cretonne, which Is very popular at
present. may be substituted for %velours,
| the wrong side of the c%retonne being
lined with some plain fabric In har-
monizing color. Book muslin. scrim
or cheesecloth with stenclled border
are inexpensive materials and are very
effective.
In some families the lace curtains
are taken down altogether at the ap-
proach of winter, and heavier ones are
substituted for them.
The colors Of the winter curtains
should always be carefully harmonized
with the other furnishings. Choose as
cheerful a shade as the decorative
scheme will permit and follow 1t faith
fully. Hangings of two or three diff
ferent shades in connecting rooms are
not in good taste. nor are they restful
to the eye.
Green. which is always the restful
nature tone, needs softening indoors.
Blue Is al easy color to 60 wrong In,
and it can be appallingly hard, cold
and cheap looking, but the new Chi
nese blue of this season, which Is So
norous without dullness, is admirably
adapted to decorative schemes and has
been wonderfully successful.
Another of the pleasing colors of this
year is a clear red. and this will be
exploited for much In the furnishing
schemes. 1t is a rich. warm shade for
winter interiors, harmonizing perfectly
with dark woodwork and oak furni.
ture, with antique tapestries and orien-
tai carpets as it's background.
Two harmonious color blendings
which have been very successfully
tried this season have been violet and
blue and brown and gold. The latter
Is more adapted to library and dining
| room and the former to dainty boudoir
OF dra wing Purple and violet
will come into the scheme Of color q
good deal this winter. We have learn
ed to appreciate the French fashion Of
mating violet and pale blue.
Curtains should match the wall paper
and carpet In color, though they may
represent a different shade Of these.
Where the inexperienced housekeep-
er SO frequently comes to grief In the
results of the furnishing and decorat-
ing Of her home Is in a lack of fore
sight in following out definite color
schemes for each room In the house.
Nothing can be more fatal to the Ill
innate effect than bad color combina-
tons. whether the furnishings are the
cheapest procurable or are the most ex-

lions now to be had in every good
shop. the suggestion or effect Of sim
plieity ia maintained. For outside ap-
pearance of the house 1t Is preferable
to have the white curtains covering
the window. They may be put on
rings in order to be easily pushed
back, or If there Ia no necessity for
this the hem at the top should bs
made wide enough to slip the small
brass rod through. This latter ar
rangement will make the curtains
hang in better lines, and will save
much time and labor at laundry time.
The window will look much better
from the outside II these curtains
hang next the glass, the shade being
inside. next the room, and for both
looks and cleanliness should just es-
cape touching the sill. When the
windows are open and the curtain
blowing back and forth they will not
pick up so much dust and become

Getting the Whip-hand of Adversely

UT into the walls Of a cell In the Tower of London the tourist reads:
Ii Men are not killed with the Universities they have to bear but
IL with the impotence with which they suffer them"
The philosopher who carved this bit Of new thought o old
truth, whichever you choose % call it. a Charles Barly, a prisoner in the
Tower. and he evolved 1t several hundred years ago. 1t means more today
to the casual reader than 1t did then; or rather, the casual reader today
looks deeper into it and es its inner truth more clearly than did the
casual reader Of Barnys time. who read only the surface.
For many hundreds OF years, VI q have been reading and looking into
such truths but a little way. But % We are searching their utmost
depths, and we are bringing up much valuable treasure.
For what this philosopher wrote is worth a long, deep. searching
scrutiny.
Can you not sec that It is the impotence with which we suffer or
is the fret and the worry that tears and rends and breaks down Jul
nervous system, no the actual loss of money. " the burning of III
home or the fahty of our friend.

could trace nearly all ur physical Ills to a mental state. instead of to the
actual material happening upon which W e usually blame them. 1t is the
inner state these adversihes set up that does the mischief, not the adver-
stiles themselves.
What then are We to dot
Some people will say that the two are so fnseparably Joined that they
cannot be riven asunder. But are they7 Are they not worlds apart
The inner mental state Is you. a spirit, an immaterial Intangible
thing that has the sole control of your body, that has Its fingers o. all
the electric buttons. &C to speak. that govern the bodys actions.
The adversities ire material things that have to do with the material
world. They cannot In themselves affect your body There is no com-
spirit that sitsw with its fingers on the levers of your physical being.
The thing to do. then, IA It not ia to have full control Of this self OF
yours; not to let adversely In the form of loss Of money O. friends o
health become transmitted into your body as dependency IT Impotence or
encouragement. For these are the things that wear and tear and break
the body.
