Must Not Be Too slavishly Followed
Flowers That Make Beautiful
Table Decorations.

In carrying out a color scheme o a
luncheon or dinner II is not wise to
try to stick to 1t too closely so far as
the food is concerned, but rather to
suggest It. For instance, in a violet
and yellow scheme, in the first course
the yellow may be suggested in an
egg-yolk garnish and the purple in
ripe olives. The custard in the soup
should be yellow, as well as the sauce
with the fish, the orange cup for the
salad and the yellow dressing.
Purple sweet peas form a beautiful
table decoration, as do pansies or viO-
lets. Many flowers may be found TO
carry out this color scheme and may
be used I'm decorating the place cards
which may be lightly tinted yellow
with n spray of the chosen flower. Nut
baskets could be tied with little bows
Of yellow or purple ribbon and GOV.

If another salad than orange wer'
used, an orange ice could be served
and little cakes decorated with can
died violet leaves would further carr!
out the color scheme.

IDEAS FOR COLOR SCHEMES

Of the imported frocks of silk and
satin.
Stripes are as much worn by chill
dren as by the m and big sis
ters. Usually a striped skirt is made
with a plain white or cOlored blouse
to give the best results.
Yellow is enjoying a vogue 1t has
not before known for years. Yellow
silk sweaters seemed to blaze the way
for the vogue, and now there are yell
low and white striped sports clothes,
and many attractive frocks Of yellow
combined with white or some other
color.
Brocaded silk for girdles and other
trimming is in demand. 1t gives the
same sort of touch of color that en-
broidery does, If skillfully used, and,
| Of course, it is far less work to tuck
in a bit Of brocade than it is to EN-
brolder even a simple pattern by hand.
Wells attached to the hat are ar
ranged in many ways. Sometimes
there is a short veil arranged almost
like a frill at the back of the hat
The same arrangement is sometimes
made across the front Of the hat
Long wells attached to the top OF
the hat crown float Over the shoul
ders and many wells hang like las
years trains, at one side only.

ing. going. doubling, trebling, and called
it the stream Of power" Within its
depths he lurked, ready to pOunce on
any unwury victim who trusted to its
t%reachprous course. Into the stream
he lured fair but unsuspectlng craft
and generally scuttled them.
His only living relative seemed to
be Bliss Porter, just out Of college and
headed for a legal career. The young
man had barely heard of this sOrdid
h~alf-uncle until he was amazed, in
another city, struggling along indlifer-
entity, to receive "A check for five hun
dred dollars from his relative, crlsply
ordering him to close up his affairs and
come 90 Chicago.
81 am going to leave my fortune to
you, was the blunt startling an

This seemed promising, but, n the
end Of a week, after his esteemed
relative had shown him ''the ropes"
Bliss Porter was Disguised. The
precious ways OF the shark, the tricks,
the traps, the preversions amazed and
then shocked him. He saw deluded
business men In need of money place
themselves totally in the power of a

WORD ABOUT CHEWING GUM
Il AlIeviates the Pangs of Hunger and
Makes a Cut in the
Board Bill.

The question, "Why is chewing
gum?" has at last been answered.
Chewing gum, according to DR.. Anton
Carlson, associate professor of 'physi-
ology mt the University of Chicago, re-
duces the board bill.
Doctor Carlson tells Of hundreds Of
experiments on humans, dogs, guinea
pigs and rabbits, proving that hunger
pnngs diminish with use Of chewing
gum, chewing tobacco, cigrrs n
cigarettes. The direct result Of gnaw-
ing Mt n piece Of gum is the stimula-
ton of nerves in the mouth. This SEN
sation causes a decrease In stomach
contfactions, thus assuaging the sharp
est appetite.
Professor Carlson found whisky or
other strong alcoholic beverages intro
duced into the empty stomach Of dogs
In sufficient amount will abolish the
hunger c%OntractiOns Of the stomach for
80 hours.
Doctor Carlson advocates a semian-
nual period Of starvation as n means
OF l%engthening the span Of life and OBJ
tainlng greater enjoyment from liv-
Ing.
There is no pain or suffering In
volved in starvation" he says. Our
ing the entire period Of abstinence
from food during my experiments the
hunger sensation was strong enough e
cause some discomfort, but not to d
degree that could be called pain. Thi'
discomfort was at no time sufficient t
interfere seriously with work"

velvet hats of July there is a new fash

New York and Chicago. These are
broad brimmed and rather flexible and
are trimmed merely with a broad band
of velvet ribbon tied in a bow at the
center or side back and falling to the
waistline or even below. The hats
are of the thlnnest felt satin or panne

SELFISHNESS 0F CONGRESSMAN AND
 WAR CLAIMS BILL
Importance of Men Remain ing "On the Joo" Shown
 by Vote to Recomn1it.

That there Is real danger lin "Hobsonizing," is proved in the fact that the Southern war claim bill of 1 $64,O00,0O0 at time when IA South ern members were campaigning in their districts was recommitted for the insertion of the fatal "loyalty clause,' by the irritating margin of 1 Is votes. saF,Y 1 The bill provides payment for those ! people whose property was ruthless ly and ineXcusably destroyed during ! the four years of the civil war. In 1 the heat of debate, Representative Sloan, an opponent of the bill, made 1 the motion that it be recommitted for the insertion of an amendment pro- vlding that no payment be made un- less the original owners could sub stantiate proof of loyalty to the union. As few Southerners during the eos were loyal to the union, necessary proof on the part of the great ma jority ot claimants, can not be made. S0ufberners, to man, opposed the motion to recommit It prevailed, however, by a margin of 13 votes.
 Fourteen Southern members--con- venitently paired with others who de- sired to be absent for campaign pur- poses-did not vote.
 It is regarded as probable that had those 14 Southerners been "on the job" and forced those Northerners to absent themselves without Southern pairs, the fatal amendment would not have been carried, and the original bill, providing for the payment of S64, 100000 to Southern people. Mould have prevailed.

 Sherley (Kentucky).
 Sisson Mississippi.
 Steagall (Alabama).
 Talbott (Maryland).
 AS the bill was amended by a ma jority of 13 votes, there is a possibil- ity that another tale would have been told had the IA Southerners bean more solicitious regarding the well
