THE TOUCH OF COLOR.

Perhaps that new frock you are so disappointed in needs only little de- tail changed to make 1t becoming. Off, ten a touch of color in a costume will work wonders, or an alteration of the trimming, or perhaps, a slight adjust ment of gathers or plaits to suit bet ter the figure. Sometimes all that is needed is a softendng effect of white at the neck. A simple organdie col lar laid over the high collar of the blouse might change a costume that makes you look your worst into one which brings out all your good points.
 Put on the dress that you think un- becoming and stand before a long mir TOT and criticize yourself as you would a stranger. If your appearance does not please you set to work eensibfy to discover what is wrong. Study the details of the frock. Experiment be- fore you set to work seriously. If you decide touch of color is what is needed, or perhaps a white lace vest or a high standing collar, hold the trimming or the lace or the net near your face before the mirror and see what it makes you look like.
 A very fashionable way to give a touch of color to a frock that is too | pale or too dark is to use colored em- | broidery. This comes in heavy worst ed and silk effects, in rough designs
 almost like crewel work and is very
 smart, and for evening frocks it is in | beads. tinsels and spangles. Silver
 gray Is a very trying shade for a pale | woman; but set off with touches ot | color in this way 1t can be worn be- | comingly by almost any one.

HOME MADE SCENTS.

A woman who has been trying a very simple way of capturing the nat ural fragrance of blossoms recently gives this advice to readers: About the only thing which it is necessary to purchase is a glass funnel with the narrow end drawn to a fine point in stead of the usual opening. This can be obtained for experiments.
 Some kind of support will be neces- sary for the funnel, and this might be made out of twisted wire or a retort stand can be purchased at the same time as the funnel.
 You then need a small quantity of ice. and this is broken up into frag- ments and then placed in the funnel On the surface a quantity of salt is sprinkled. The fragrant flowers roses, carnations or whatever kind may be selected-are placed near tc the funnel A small bottle is put un- der the pointed end which 1t is re- membered, is closed right up.
 After an interval 1t will be seen that moisture from the atmosphere is con- densing on the outside of the funnel The fragance given out by the flowers | combines with this moisture, which finally trickles down into the bottle. This liquid will be found good qual. | ity perfume. To keep 1t in good con. | dition it is needful to mix with about an equal quantity of spirits of wine.

CONSPICUOUS WARNING

That Sant' Anna of the Fabre line reached port in safety and without the loss of life was against the inten- tions of certain agents according to the reports which have been received since the ship reached the Azores That a fire should break out in a hold where inf1ammable material was not kept was slim evidence upon which to base the belief that some repre- sentative of one of the central DOW CTS had tried to destroy this vessel which was carrying about 1,500 Ital- ian reservists, but when it is report ed that eighteen fuses were found and repeated explosions occurred on the vessel there is furnished suffi- cient reason for believing that a delib- crate attempt was made to destroy that vessel and those on board. Such conditions do not result from natural causes and while the vessels of this line have escaped such trouble on pre- vious trips the fact that there were many on board destined to swell the ranks of the enemy doubtless furnish ed the motive for the attempt, since had the fire communicated to the hold where much highly inf1ammable ma

 Whatever vigilance has been prac- ticed by the line officials to prevent just such an occurrence. the fight which it was necessary to make on the ; Sant' Anna to get the fire under con- trol in mid-ocean demands that it be increased. Though it may mean in- creased expense it is far preferable to the unwarrantable destruction of life and property in any such manner. Ii i is warning which it is not believed : will go unheeded.

MAKE GOOD THE PROMISES.

According to the. latest communica- tion from Berlin Ambassador Bern storff has been given complete in formation regarding the wishes and policy of the German government and he is authorized settle the sub marine issue subject to approval by the German government. This. with the promise that there will be no more disputes because it is intend ed that the submarine will comply with international law and not sink vessels of neutral nations unless they are carrying contraband and then only after the crew and passengers are safely removed, and that liners will not be attacked without warning and will be destroyed only under condi- tions laid down in the maritime code, advances the issue another step. There is also the promise to@g over carefully the evidence which has been submitted by this country concern ing the sinking e. the Arabic.
 Such promises are in accordance 4 with those which have been previ- ously made. It was what was ex- pected of German submarines before the Arabic was sunk and yet there was raised the excuse of an error of judgment on the part of the com mander whose act regardless of the previous promise has not as yet been disavowe1. .rts.>
 In view of the issIe which has been raised this last declared attitude of Germany, as voiced by it's foreign min ister. is naturally gratifying. It can- not however be viewed other wise than a continuance of negotiations for 1t remains for Ambassador Bernstorff and the imperial German government to satisfy the United States that ii means what it says.

ALL ABOUT BACON.

Bacon is an extravagant article in the list of cooking materials because Of it's increased price and the fact that often twice as much as is needed is used for garnishing other foods.
 This delectable meat will probably never be low pried again. yet it will always be great addition to the menu, so that to know the best ways of using it without waste is a necessi- ty if one is to cook well.
 The drippings from bacon are the best sort of shortening for cookies and every day pastry; therefore, ev- cry bit of the fat that renders out in cooking should be strained and saved for such uses. This reduces the first cost of the meat very much, for the shortening bill has scared with the price of pork.
 All left over bacon, makes excellent seasoning for meat loaves and may be nicely browzed for garnishing by be- ing slipped into egg batter and then in to fine crumbs and placed in a hot oven, on a bacon rack, until golden
 If you have never broiled bacon on rack you have culinary treat in store. for even inferior bacon becomes fine basting when broiled so and best bacon delicious. Any wire broiler or oven rack may be used: the slices are spread out, just touching, not cover ing, one another, on 1t and placed over a dripping pan in an hot oven.
 Sometimes bacon is as salty as salt can make it and requires soaking in hot water after it is; after such treat ment the salt is not too apparent.
 The best of sausage can be made at homo with the following ingredient: One pound of veal. one pound of fresh pork, one cup of bacon chopped and one cup of cracker crumbs Grind the veal and pork fine, add crumbs and bacon. seasoning of pepper and sage with little salt, as the bacon supplies this. Grind the mixture again and shape into cakes and fry. Cold meat | of any sort may be used in place o1 | the veal

 How we'll South Carolina is prepared to handle this phase of the matter remains to be seen. It can if 1t wants to greatly reduce the traffic in liquor It can if 1t wants to enforce the new law, but it remains to be seen how far it is intended to go in that direction. The action of that state in declaring for prohibition is going to be closely watched by all the other states of the union.

THE BRASS BED.

When the lacquer of your brass bed becomes tarnished. don't send it away to be relacquered and pay about s20 for it. Just follow these rules and save your money:
 First rub the brass thoroughly with piece of flannel dipped in whiting. Then take 10 cents worth of shellac, dissolved in enough alcohol to make 1t thin and apply with a small brush.
 This can be done quickly and easily, and will make the bed look as pretty as if you sent it to the factory.

CIRCULAR PETTIcoATs.

Circular petticoats are now a neces- sary part of the wardrobe. Among the modes in this sort of skirt now on the market is an excellent one of white batiste which will be found highly de- sirable by women who are so fore handed as to be already engaged in re- plenishing their autumn outfit. The skirt is buttoned at the top and fitted around the hips so that there is no added bulk to contend with where in- creased size is resented by even the slenderest of women. The lower part of the skirt is very wide and is finish ed with a deep embroidered founce edged with valenciennes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Mr. eravaline said.

"haE MT NEaNuEEIu ~dEus MT. Editor I have before me the Friday issue of The Norwich Bulletin which states the William c. Graveline. witness in the trial of A J. Kenehan at Putnam, testified that Kenehan was running his machine at the speed of 40 to 50 miles per hour and that when the said William C. Graveline was cross-examined as to how he estimat- ed the speed of Kenehan's machine he said from his experience in riding a bicycle a few times.
 The true statement of the witness was that Kenehan was going about 30 to 40 miles per hour and that William C. Graveline said the basis for his estimate was that he had ridden sew eral times in an automobile at about the same speed.
 Yours truly.
