AVOID ILLNESS.

This winter grip has fairly scourged
this wide land. And probably the thing
that has been most instrumental in
stopping its spread is the education of
the public to protect itself.
The different big cities where grip
has been rampant have issued, through
the boards of health, instructions to
the public. telling it what to do, in order
to avoid the grip. And these instructions
have been attended with much success.
Not long ago an editorial appeared
calling attention to the fact that most
conveniently distributed among their
many pockets. often failed to produce
one when they sneezed. whereas most
women, with one handkerchief locked
duce it to hold before the face when a
sneeze occurred. Whether it is that
women like to conceal their sneezes-
which are certainly not beautifying-
or whether it is because they are really
more interested in matters of hygiene,
it is hard to tell. But surely, after this
epidemic of grip, we ought all to be
especially careful about spreading any
cold which we ourselves may have.
Gargling with some mild antiseptic is
very good method of keeping free of
colds If children at school gargle be-
fore they start forth in the morning
and the minute they come home, their
danger is greatly minimized.
The person with a strong body and
calm mind is usually far less suscepti-
BILE to disease germs than the nervous
and rundown person. OF course. this
rule is sometimes broken. But at all
events it is well to keep the body and
mind in good condition as possible
if you would stay well.
Keeping the feet dry. or drying them
Immediately if they become damp, is
another good way to prevent colds.
Get as much outdoor air as possible.
either by walking or otherwise eXer
cising in the open air or by keeping
your dwelling rooms always well VEN
INDEPENDENTLY by both methods.

one side and did some hard thinking.
When you find things too easily watch
out, especially when you find them where
they have never been before. and when
you can see no reason why they should
be there. Now never have found meat
lying around in the Green Forest this
way before. and it doesn't seem right.
Probably there is a trap hidden there.
Farmer Browns Boy is trying to get even
with me for stealing tina. chicken. 1
think I'll have a look at that meat from
the other side
So Reddy walked around to the other
side, taking the greatest care not to go
too near lest a trap be hidden where he
might step in it. Then he sat down
again. cooked his head on one side and
studied the meat some more while ne
went on with his thinking.
THAT may be all right. and II leave
it alone some one else will get 1t, ana
I'll lose a good meal. Let me see, II there
is a trap. where is 1t likely to be? Farm
for me that didn't find it. II it was on
top of this icy~crust I would see 1t. He
wouldn't be so stupid as to put 1t In
plain sight He would break a little hole
cover it with snow. 1t is the only way
he could hide trap unless he has put 1t
under the meat. The first thing to do is
to find out if the crust has been broken
anywhere"
So Reddy walked round and round the
meat, drawing a little nearer and little
nearer, and all the time studying the
icy crust. Everywhere it was smooth:
hard and CLASSY. Just as Jack Frost had
made it the night before So at last
Reddy was near enough to the meat to
touch it and he had found no sign of
trap. His tongue fairly hung out OF his
mouth with eagerness to seize that piece
Of meat, but he didn't do it. He lay down
fiat and studied it some more. He was
so close to it now that he could smell 1t
all over, and his keen nose told him just
what he had all along suspected-that
Farmer Browns Boy had left it there:
You see he could smell the scent of
Farmer Browns Boys hands.
Presently he took the edge of 1t in his
teeth, gave a quick yank and jumped
back, dropping the meat as he did so.
Nothing happened. Reddy gave great
sigh of relief There was no trap there.
Still it was a very suspicious matter.
All. Was the meat poisoned? He had
known of such things. He had great faith
in his nose. but not enough to feel sure
about the poison. But Granny Fox knew
all about poisons. He would take the
meat home and let her decide. So Reddy
picked the meat up and started for home.

THE FIRST HATS FOR SUMNER.

I sketch which every woman may not
like, and there is no doubt in the tram
ed mind that all these hats take admir-
able posing. Their very seeming sim,
plicity demands a perfect coinure ana
an adjustment of every line OF tine ma y,
to the line of the face carried out with
artistic perception.
With such a hat as this brown straw
there can be no careless showing u
on the head, with a half glance that IN
cIudes both the mirror and the CLOCK.
That is the trouble with so many SIN
pie hats, especially those invented py
the French. The French women reaiize
the importance of the couture unoer
the hat as no other women 40 IN tne
world, and no sartorial trick OF Amer
lean women so surprises and contounds
them as that of putting on nat al
most as one goes to the door. Iney
and their fastidious American lmitators
put all the work of dressing on the ar
rangement of the hair and the posing
of the hat.
Let US hope. therefore, that FOR the
sake of the vast number OF women VINO
dwell in this continent there VIII De

NEW YORK, January 29.-With real
winter comes along the first summer
hat: above icy pavements the shop win
dows are filed with the thinnest I'M

Commerce has it's own devious ways
to follow. and it does nothing without
a good reason. 1t may make the by

the filminess of the lingerie that wom-

upon straw hats; it may make one en-

Yet, if commerce has its reason. the
bystander should have glow in the
heart in gazing upon these reminders
of the fact that warm weather is COM

displaying of gsvp,per fabrics in winter

THE IMPERIAL C0LORS.

Not long ago in one of the vaudeville
shows an actress made quite an inn
preston by having her upper eyelids
made up in solid purple. She dared a
good deal-and as it happened she made
good impression.
But there are not many Of US who
can wear the imperial color with i'm
punity. We dare to wear 1t, but it is
not often becoming.
The Roman emperors used to penalize
the wearing of purple by any but the
imperial family. 1t was the imperial
color. indicative of royal blood. And
whatsoever wore it unworthily commit
ted a grave ohense.
Well. it's wearing should be penal
lied. Since it Is not we should all
guard our liking for purple with
firm will. and foreso wearing 1t II 1t
is unbecoming.
The older woman, too, who wears
much lavender usually shows poor
Judgment in her choice. For laven-
der of the lighter shades is too deli
cate a color for the woman with faded
color and white hair. Darker, richer
| colors would usually suit her better.
Never is purple so effective as in
single cushion well placed in a room.
A purple silk cushion in a room fur
| nished in yellows. for instance. gives
an Impression quite in keeping with the
colors imperial ancestry.
