PROPER CoLoRS FOR WALLS
Always Few Rules That Are Well
TO Keep in Mind When Dec
Grating.

If we redecorate in a thorough way
our first puzzle is the choice of a col
or. A few rules are useful. Blue,
green, brown, and gray are excellent
colors for sunny, welI-lighted rooms.
If the room is on the north side of the
house or is ill-lighted we may need
to use yellow or yellow tan on the
walls in order to produce the sunny
appearance the room otherwise lacks.
Tan is a good all-around color and is
disable in well-lighted or poorly light
ed rooms.
All these colors are best if soft
For example, a sage green wall is
much more pleasing than a bright
green or a leaf green wall; a copen-
hagen blue is better than a vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
in a great variety of shades is always
a favorite.
Bright red should never be chosen
1t is crude in color and tiresome to
live with. A soft mulberry red is
sometimes a desirable color, and a
brownish or Indian red is also in good
taste.
AS a wallpaper always looks dark
er when hung on the wall than it does
in the sample, we must take care to
select medium or light shades, if We
want cheerful rooms.

Tight Skirts and Accidents.

From the New York Tribune.
The Pennsylvania railroad is exhibiting
lot of misguided zeal in its collection
of statistics about the number of acci-
dents caused to women by reason OF
wearing tight skirts and high heels. II
can prove from now until doomsday that
hobbled women trip on car steps and
break their legs, or catch their exagger-
ated heels on station stairs safe for ordi-
nary plain heels, and fall all the way
down. That won't change affairs. Ar
average woman would rather be hurt
than be out of style, any day. They
are the stuff of which martyrs are made
and 1t needs only a stroll along any pop
ular street in the afternoon to prove tina,
hundreds OF them are willing to martyrize
themselves in the sacred cause of fashion
If 1t hopes to reduce the number of acci-
dents the corporation should use its
funds in accelerating a change of Style
in skirts and heels. Otherwise il car
only continue to plead contributory negli-
gence in answer TO the damage suits.

Raleigh's Pipe.

Mention of Raleigh recalls the fact that
four years ago Sir Walters pipe was sold
at West End auction for 10 guineas.
Like Byron's, it is built on heroic lines,
and consists of four parts-stem, bend,
bowl and bowl cover-being about a foot
long and weighing more than pound.
AT half-a-dozen points the wood is carv-
ed into highly polished faces of Mo-
hawks, monkeys and dogs. while in the
stem is powerful whistle, which is sup
posed to be that with which the Eliza
bethan pioneer of empire summoned the
servant who flung jug of beer over him.
thinking he was on fire.
Two hundred pounds on one occasion
was refused for this pipe, but unfortu-

years ago. If the parchment could only
be produced the pipe would easily fetch
