her, and they went forth together to

Want chanaeabie Dresses!

At the recent International Congress of Applied Chemistry in London one Of the most celebrated lecturers. Gia- como Ctamician, predicted that women of the future will not be contented with dress which remains constantly of one color but will demand colors that change in harmony with their sur roundings
 Thus the color of the apparel may be changed without changing the dress. Passing from darkness to light the color would brighten thus con forming automatically to the environ ment-the last word in fashion for the future.
 This prediction will come true as soon as chemists learn to understand better what are called "phototropic colors," or colors that change with the intensity of the light upon them. In mems wear this might mean that the light-colored suit of the bright summer day would be transformed into dark suit at night.

NO POSSIBILITY OF DOUBT
Why Western Bishop Was Convinced of tho Ancient Lineage of He
 Eastern Entertainers.

A western bishop once attended a general convention in the east and was entertained by New England family of long and honorable, if not lovable, lineage. They made no se- cret of 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 1t is the privilege of her kind to do, even where mers man must be silent
 T don't believe that their family is such an old one" she remarked. Are you sure that their ancestors were Pilgrims
 ''l am certain my dear" answered the bishop. This may seem to be exaggeration, but at times you could positively detect the fragrance of the Mayflower New York Evening Post.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

Place a watch under a tumbler near the bed of q sick person, the ticking will not then disturb him, but the time piece may be easily reached.
 Keep a roll of laundered whi.e goods to patch corset covers and lingerie waist. a new piece will shrink and pucker
 Slip shoes into old stocking legs when packing the trunk. using white for the white shoes, tan for the tan and black for the black shoes. They can be easily seen and will be kept from injuring anything they touch.
 When slicing tomatoes use knife with saw teeth as they may be cut better and thinner.
 When bottling ketchup or fruit juices, put the corks into boiling water and boil for twenty minutes, they will be pliable and easily inserted into the bottles.
 Keep a roll of paper toweling in the kitchen which is absorbent and if grease is spilled use the paper instead of cloth to wipe it up. The paper makes a good article to wipe out plates before putting them into the dish water
 Icing For Angel Cake-Put a cupful of confectionery sugar in bowl, add the unbeaten whites of two eggs and mix with the sugar little at time until it is soft and creamy, add few drops of vanilla and some cold water from time to time until soft enough to spread Do not beat
