The Wearing Of Red.

One would apologize for bringing up
this subject Christmas day, If it were
not for the fact that from every pulpit
there came the same thought. and in
every home and surrounding every
stocking and Christmas tree. there were
wishes and prayers for those on the
other side of the water.
If we did not have this universal
spirit in our country today, we would
warrant all that our worst enemies are
saying of us abroad. And now we must
turn to dress, for that is the function of
this column.
Red is the color that has swept the
continent. and so suddenly that the
turers, have been taken unawares.
There is the red of fame, as well as the
red of the ruby, the scarlet of the ge-
ranium and the fiat brilliancy of the
east: the warm red of Bordeaux and
Burgundy. and the deep red with its
touches of black that suggest the dregs
of wine left in glass.
None OF these shades is taken up for
the street, although the bright fiat
tones of it are adopted for sport suits
in the country and for norfolk jacket
suits in rough woolens for young
schoolgirls.
1t is after o'clock that the lights of
crimson flare up from Atlantic to Pa
cffic. Women wear red to whom it is
most becoming, and others put it on
who should run from it like a frighten-
ed rabbit.
The expensive part of it is that a red
gown deserves a red wrap, and wher-
ever one goes in fashionable places in
the evening one sees that the ultra
smart women are not only wearing
both, but are not discarding their wrap,

Household Hints.

Do not throw away the water in
which spinach is boiled, but put it on
the stove, boil it down to rich flavor,
soup.
To renovate household brushes of any
kind. put a teaspoonful of soda in a
basin of hot water and swish the
brushes up and down in it; then dry in
hot sun.
1t is not wise to choose the largest
sweet potatoes nor the largest turnips
Medium sized potatoes and small tur-
nips have a finer flavor and will cook
more satisfactorily.

OF Interest TO Women
RUBY RED FOR EVENING GARMENTS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 23.-It Is
doubtful If any one concerned in the
business of women's apparel had any
real glimmering of the truth that red
would pour itself over the world in the
evening.
It is not a pleasant or agreeable sug-
gestion that this mass of red makes on
the mind, for even the most non-emo-
tional nature sees something Of the war
in almost every episode today. 1t Is not
possible that the Paris dressmakers
thought of the pouring out of the life
blood of Europe's millions when they
sent out this rich. warm, vital red into
the world of fashion. but here we are
arraying ourselves in it by the thou
sands.
"An ensanguined field" said one man.

night. We were sorry he said it. One
may laugh and spend money, and. to all
appearances. go along the happy rou-
tine of life, but. subconsciously, there
lies in every heart the pain and the
hurt of this war.
