into a parlor whose modest furnish

ROOMS DECORATED IN BLACK
Reflection Will Show 1t Has Much
to Recommend 1t.

Behold black now as the fashionable
color Of the interior decorator The
liking for it arose in Vienna, where
interior decorating is an art much
thought of. There some of the new
houses, or rooms which have been re-
decorated, show wall papers with black
backgrounds, in which huge, bright
flowers are printed. Carpets, too, are
of black The idea of this method of
room strictly background for the
furniture and persons in it. The
brightly fiowered paper, of couse, de-
tracts from this effect, but the sort of
paper more often used does not have
the bright flowers. 1t shows a black
ground, with a gray or misty white
figure.
In a room thus grounded pictures
framed in black are hung. The effect
is startling. The pictures stand out in
reality from their somber surround
ings. White enameled furniture is
looked on with favor for use in black
rooms. Surely such setting would
give the persons in it chance to shine
forth in all the glory of color lent
them by skin and eyes, hair and
clothes. On the other hand, wouldn't
a room so furnished cast depress-
ing spell on the woman who found
herself shut within it's four walls for
many hours in day?
There is an outgrowth of this craze
for black which is interesting, espe-
cially to those who live in apartments
or other crowded quarters, where the
kitchen as we'll as the other rooms of
the house comes under occasional in
spection of guests. This is the black
enamaled jar or box for cakes, bread
and grocery supplies of various sorts.
it is painted brilliantly with big red
roses, and makes an interesting note
of color. Six boxes or jars of this
sort ranged in orderly array on
shelves give distinctive note to the
the most uninteresting pantry or
kitchen.

POULTRY
FATS
TO DISCOURAGE BROoDY HENS
There Are Many Ways of Breaking
Up Broodiness-Coop With SIat-
ted Bottom Is Excellent.

The end of the breeding season
seems to be the appointed time for
hens to get broody. Earlier in the
year when their services would have
been most welcome great difficulty
was experienced in finding sufficient
to sit on the desired number of eggs.
August is too late for the utilizing Of
their broodiness, unless a few duck
eggs be set under some of them. AT
this time, too, the scarcity of eggs
makes it the desire of all poultry
keepers to break up their "broodies"
and have them laying again as soon as
possible.
There are many ways of breaking
hens of broodiness, and the more bar
barous ones such as tying the hen up
by one leg, throwing cold water over
her, or making her stand in water
should be forgotten and practiced no
longer. The same and better results
can be obtained by more human meth

have much to do with preserving it's

dash of soda added to your basin Of

are both drying agents, and unless the

Golden Hair Absolutely Requires

Summer time is a time Of trial for
the girl with golden hair. Dust and
CRIME collect with disastrous effect
during the summer months, giving a
dull drab effect to locks which should
have a lively luster. What can she

NO POSSIBILITY OF DOUBT
Why Western Bishop Was Convinced
of the Ancient Lineage of His
Eastern Entertainers.

A western bishop once attended
general convention in the east and
was entertained by a New England
family of long and honorable, if not
lovable, lineage. They made no Sc
cret of a time-won superiority over
any one from the new and crude west,
and cited their Pilgrim ancestors con-
stantly. The bishop was minded to
bear this in Christian humility and
forbearance, and did. But on his re-
turn home, he recounted his expert
ences to the wife; and she, good soul,
spoke her mind as it is the privilege
of her kind to do, even where mere
man must be silent.

is such an old one" she remarked.
care you sure that their ancestors
were Pilgrims?'

exaggeration, but at times you could
positively detect the fragrance of the

Good Roads Congress.

witnessed the third and final session
Of the Rural Life and Good Roads
Congress. Another large crowd as
sembled in Memorial hall to hear tai
ented speakers dilate on the many
benefits Of good roads and the neces-
sity for the betterment of rural life.
Charles L. Swain, speaker Of the Ohio
house of representatives, presided.
@. Gordon Reel, superintendent Of
highways of New York state, was the
first speaker. He told all about what
New York had accomplished in the
way Of building good roads. Other
themes and the speakers we're:

Governor Cox informed the dele
gates that Ohio, by taking advantage
of the inactivity Of other states, hopes
to secure large share Of the federal
appropriation for the improvement of
roads. The plan is to have the gov
ernment highway department turn
over to Ohio two-ffths Of the appro-
prtation of $5O0,0OO. The state will
supply an additional 100000, while

Governor Cox has given strict orders
that the appropriations of the general
assembly must not exceed the receipts,
and State Treasurer Brennan and Audi
tor Donahey are to see that this order is
complied with, In the years 1909 and
1910, the closing ones of long continu-
Gus Republican regime in the Legislative
branch, the appropriations exceeded
receipts 81, 500, 900. In 1911 and 1912
receipts were $1,000, 900 in excess of
disbursements, and that was during a
Democratic administration. The record
will be even better during this admins
tration.

WOMEN VICTIMS OF

Rabbi Harry Mayer, of Kansas City
Mo-, in recent lecture on "The Inde

"The cessation of woman being an

labor has shrunk so that her status
is one degree better than that of the
woman in the Oriental harem.
"Woman's entry in a definite vo-
cation or profession and her rivalry
in business will not make her less
attractive to man. Nor will it cause
jealosy or prevent marriage. Men
like to talk to independent women
