HARMONY ALWAYS A POINT
Sharp Contrasts in Living Roym Some
thing Go Be Avoided by Ssre Up
to-Date Homenater.

A room is really q picture, or at
least it should be composed with due
regard to its esthetic possibilities. The
walls are the background of which
doors and windows are IA part. The
furnitHge is in the middle distance and
the family furnishes the foreground.
1t is evident that If the wall paper
is figured conventional designs are al
ways best and the designs should be
worked out in varying tones Of the
dominant color. This dominant color
may be any that lends itself charming
ly to interior decoration. 1t should be
soft, rich and beautiful in its varying
ihades.
It is not enough that it should blend
with carpets and curtains or contrast
tremendously with them. 1t should be
favorable as background to the per-
sons who make the main part of the
picture, it should bring out the flesh
tones, or at least not spoil them, and
it should not clash with the colors of
the garments worn by those who pass
their time within the four walls of the
room. Moreover, it should simplify the
lighting problems, whether the posi-
ton OF windows or the effect of cleo
trio lamps is taken into consideration.

Wells Now ofteA Discarded.

Wells are very mucN less worn than
they used to be in past seasons. They
are less easy to wear with very small
hats, for the simple reason that they
may easily touch the eyes or at least
the eyelashes; but, since the extreme
~ small hat is specially reserved for
the very young woman, she may well
permit herself to meet the full glare
OF daylight in the street without any
softening veil, Besides this, some by
gienic people pretend that the veil is
harmful both to the complexion and
the sight, and, while it is also true
that the contrary opinion is held, the
devotee OF fashion will follow her own
personal opinion without bothering
her head about any other-Paris Ed

But he could see for himself that
the mechanician was not seriously In
jured, without Floyd's reassuring nod.
Call me what you like" Stanton
permitted, between clenched teeth, as
he dragged out his handkerchief to
bandage the slender arm.
The appalled, crowd was upon them.
With a sputtering roar the Duplex ma
chine rounded the turn and sped down
the straight stretch, it's mechanician

curls on his forehead and staggered
erect, helpless laughter shaking him.

There were plenty of sympathetic
helpers. Incredible to the witnesses,
but as Floyd had foreseen, the Mer-
curry had not materially suffered. The
big car was righted by fifty hands;
Stanton and Floyd-unaided, accord

admiration and good wishes.

had been hurried changing to the
scene of the possible tragedy, the Mer-
curry whirled past the judges, running
more comet-like than ever.
But Stanton took the turns conser-

The race was lost Even Stanton
could not regain the. half-hodr lead

fourth hour he signaled Floyd to lean

Stanton shook his head, but let out

BUFFALO DIES OF GRIEF.

Joshua, an aged buffalo, former leader
of the herd in Gage park in Buffalo died
last week of a broken heart, his keepers
said. For 10 years the old bull headed
the herd. which until two years ago ran
i'm the open in Michigan. -Four weeNs
ago he was deposed by his mutinous
band, the mutiny being led by his own
offspring, a young bull who now occupies
the throne OF his sire. The herd is
owned by the city.
One of the keepers said:
'.Old Joshua's overthrow undoubtedly
caused his death. 1t is clear case OF
broken heart as ever appeared among
humans. Several months ago we no.
ticed something was brewing among the
10 buffalo. They were restless and east

weeks ago. The entire herd, led by a
young bull Joshua's own son, pitched
into the leader. He fought nobly for
three hours Then his old legs failed

Significance of 1918.

There has been some alarm on the
part of the superstitous over the rs
in 1915 They fear that the new year au-
gurs trouble.
According to the Cabala, this 70 has
no significance when picked out of an
other number. If the number 1918 has
any meaning whatever it is as whole
and not as arbitrarily divided.
The right way to discover its hidden
portent is to add all its digits. The re-
suit will be five. This number is the
sign of harmony Therefore those who
are alarmed may take heart of grace
and go serenely on their way. The
world VIII smile through the coming L
months, according to cabalistic lore
The year which has lust passed, 1872. Is
the real culprit. Its digits count up TO
10, so the trouble is all over.
According to the Cabala, the number
l3 means the power of overcoming
through hard work and many changes
Certainly this last year eXemplihed the
meaning attributed to it.
There Is a peculiar thing about the
number 1919. 1t is indivsible. This, ac-
eording to the ancient mystics. has a
special significance. II means that there
will be no great changes throughout the
year. The world will have breathing
spell As its number, five. means har-
mony. there should be recognition of
peace everywhere.
Ii is the science OF letters and num-
bers, perfected before the children of
Israel marched out of Egypt. 1t was so
widely recognized at one time that 1t
formed division among the jews.
The Cabala was developed by the Jews.
Pythagoras evolved system of his own,
slightly simplifying the original Cabala.
The later method never goes beyond the
number nine in counting. The original
picked out numbers here and there be-
You'd nine as having special significance.
All others We're resolved down to one
number by adding the digits.
For instance, 100 stands as in the Jew
ish system, but is one in the Pytha-
gorian. Also Is having special meaning,
stands as it is in the Jewish system, pur
is four in the other. Fourteen is reduced
to five, as in itself it means nothing in
either system.
This science gives to every letter in the
alphabet a number, meaning and a
color Thus from ones name can be
found ones number and during the pro-
cess of addition ones character can be
drawn and ones future foretold Like
wise the co!or of a PERSONS aura can be
determined. if the seer is an adept at us
+, Interpretation.
| The method by which ones personal
future for the year is obtained is to add
ones number to the digit of the year
i Thus * the KEYNOTE struck.
| The year 1913 ought to be full of the
| white light Of bright hope, according to
this system 1t will be effectively happy
