Fish in an Aquarium.

An aquarium with gold fishes in II is
| very attractive addition to a children's
, nursery. and is sure TO be a source of
endless amusement to the children.
But anybody who allows an aquarium
in her house should forbid the house to
cats and should insist on A ''hands-off"
policy on the part OF small children.
Nothing more cruel could be imagined
than an aquarium free to the ravaGes of
thouchtless or cruel children Or cats-not
lhouChtless. nor essentially cruel, but
simply uneducated in the nicer ways Of
civilization.
Another thing the woman with an
aquarium should do-and that is, she
should care for the aquarium as careful
ly she docs for her children Tire
needs of the aquarium are few, but it Is
downright cruelty to confine any living
thing in such a way that II is helpless.
and then not TO see that it Is comfortable
and healthy.
OF first importance is plenty Of fresh
water. In the bottom of the aquarium
put layer OF fine gravel. rather deep.
and fill the aquarium with water. Change
it several times a week. You can tell
when it needs changing by watching the
fish. 1f they come TO the top of the
water and thrust their noses out into the
air the water can safely be changed.
into the aquarium They will do much
TO keep the water in good condition for
the fish. And don't put too many fish in
a small aquarium.
To remove all sediment from the water
and to remove the stale water, have a
syphon. This should be used at least
twice a week. and oftener in warm
weather and when the fish show breath
lessness.
Never let the water get too warm
either from a radiator or from the sun.
IT is a good plan to keep it in the sun
shine part of the day. but when the sun
Is very warm or bright. a piece of stiff
blue paper should be used to shade It.
Feed fish two or three times week
and give them only the prepared fish
food. This is by all means the most
wholesome food for them, and bread
crumbs or other bits Of food are not only
bad for the fish but decompose and make |
the water stale

April ~ Ada Rehan.

Ada Rehan. one of the most brilliant
women condolences ever seen in this
country. was born in Limerick, Ireland
ffty-five years ago today. Her father
an Irishman named Crehan, came to this
country with his children when Ada was
but 5. so to all intents and purposes
America was her home. Her sisters went
on the stage at an early age and the OPP
portunity for her to try her skill came
when she was but IA. Her sisters COM
pany was playing in Newark. n. j. and
owing to the absence from the company
OF one OF the leading women, Ada was
given chance to appear. So successful
was she that after family conference
in the Crcgan family it was decided that
Ada should take up acting as a life
work
Before long Ada Rehan had made a
place for herself. playing with such stars
as Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett
During the course of her stage life
she created some forty characters. That
she was Coincidence of the first class
no one denied and many Were those who
thought that she had never known her
equal in farce. sShe possessed a buoyant
and mirthful spirit seldom matched by
any actress. Her most celebrated role
was that of Rosalind in LAS You Like 1t.

Count the next dozen women that You
Lass in the street or see from your VIM
dow and see how many OF them go
frocked in black or tones of gray or
navy blue so dark as to appear black!
From our Office window We have just
made such a count. and these are the
mournful results: Six women IN black,
three in navy blue so dark as to appear
practically black one in muddy brown
and two neutral grays. That makes
dozen. and not one note of color Or
course. the men that pass are also
dressed in these deadly dark colors, Tor
color. in mems attire have been out of
ashton among civilized Europeans and
Americans for some hundred years and
more. So now as we look out on busy
washington streets the only human be-
ing not attircd in the drab tones Is the
street cleaner. who perforce must wear
white during his hours of labor.
Why is this tendency for women to
ADOPT the colorIcss hues for outdoor
wearing apparel more and more? Are
VIC coming to a time when women. like
men. will give up the use of colors alto
setber? It really looks that way. doesn't
Il? Within the last quarter OF century
this tendency has been on the increase.
The feeling on the part of well-dressed
women especially that dark, neutral
colors are best for the street and for
outdoor wear seems growing more gen
ersl every year. And once woman gets
out of the habit Of wearing street frocks
Of bright colors she almost never gets
back into the way Of it again.
Such seems to be the tendency of mod
ern civilization. A hundred and fifty
years ago both men and women went
about in gayer plumage. The colors OF
the court circles of those days outshone
in brilliance the plumage of the birds of
the tropics, and now the conventional
male confines his taste for colors to
small. narrow strip of silk he calls
his necktie-and this season even that
tends to the magpic com bination of black
and white.
OF course for many, many centuries
before the invention of cheap chemical
dyes rich colors were not within the
reach of ordinary folk. PUPPIES. GRIM !
sons, greens and blues were colors so
costly that their use was mainly con-
fined to the great folk of the land. to
the vestments of the priests, and the |
costly apparel of the aristocracy.
q But this economical consideration is no i
longer necessary. Gay colors cost not a |
whit more than the drab hues. Is this |
tendency for US to wear drab colors moth |
ing more nor less than a desire to follow |
The line of least resistance. a desire to
be inconspicuous that turks within the
breasts OF most of us!

What q Man Thinks.

Some women marry because they
haven't the courage to remain single.
Some women marry because a man has
asked them to and they don't like to
say no" Some women marry because
they want little more money in their
purses and a larger credit ut the stores
Some women marry because they want
to put Mrs" on their visiting cards and
the word wife OH their tombstones. Some
women marry for money-money. and
nothing else. And with It there come
responsibilities OF which they never
dream. Some women marry because they
love the man: because they want to be
his vile, his friend and his helpmate;
because they want 10 make him feel that

But we reverse the process: Put the
