HE WAS COWED.
THE WOOD NYMpHs

~ NO@@
Once in awhile
We see in the
Movies a scene
Supposed to be
A garden party
With society people
Sitting around
Drinking tea and
Talking about somebody
Elise. The surprise
Feature then comes
Out from a grove
or trees come
Hopping a s~extette
OF damsels draped
With mosquito netting
Like an eel is
5 With feathers. Not
Much on, and
Less above the
Eyebrows. They
Cayort around to
The music of
A squeaky flute
In a circle, then
Reverse the hop
Up in the air
Like a flock Of
Penguins, then they
All fall to the
Ground. We
Figured the mex
Move would be
For the squirrels
To bounce down
From the trees, or
A bus from the
Foolish foundry pull
Up and all the
Young lady filberts
Climb in and go
Back to their padded
Boudoirs, like the
keystone Comedies" would
DO it. But they didn't;
They got up and
Hoped back to the
Trees. Maybe they
We're ebony trees.

NOW, CAN some bright little boy
tell us how many miles Of shoe laces
that is?
El Nuevo mexicano., 1918-01-03

When you come into the mousse with
wet shoes, do you cast them aside care
lessly? Fit a fair of shoe trees into them
and set them in a good warm spot to
dry. That is the proper thing to do.
But be sure that you do not put them
in a very hot place, for wet leather which
is exposed to much heat frequently cracks.
II for any reason you have no shoe trees
hand, try s~tuffing the shoes with
papers to keep them in shape.

CHOICE OF COLORS
Blondes and BrunetteS Demand
Individual Shades.
Relation of Effect of Hues on Various
Compilations Should Be Considered
in Making Selections.

In costume the beauty of color
should not be considered alone, but
in relation to the effect it has upon
the complexion of the person who is
to wear it, observes q fashion critic.
The instructive craving for color, Is
natural and should be gratified, but
not at the sacrifice of harmonious ap-
pearance. There Is no complexion,
however, attractive or commonplace
and uninteresting, but may be i'm
proved by a selection of the color best
suited to the particular complexion.
Individuals fall in two general types
blonde and brunette, and each of these
two types is again divided into
several types. The combination Of
the complexion with the various
hues of hair, and the color in the
eyes, is what makes a PERSONS ap-
pearance distinctive and interesting.
The wide difference in the complex
ions Of blondes and brunettes makes
it impossible for them to wear the
same hues. Each season brings cere-
tain popular colors, and blondes and
brunettes alike rush for them re-
CARELESS of the effect these colors
have upon their complexion. Color
has the same effect upon complexion
that certain chemicals have upon
water. For example, certain hues of
red will bring out the yellow in the
face of one blonde, while in the faces
of others If amDhaSiZaS green or Der4
haps purple, or makes one ashen, the
color of the eye fading, and the
hair becoming dusty looking, and
lustreless. Because of the marked
difference in types and because color
affects each individual differently,
no set rule can be given for the
choice of harmonious colors. The
right choice of color is largely a
matter of individual study.

c0LORs IN DECORATING HOME
Values and Effect of Various Shades
a Most important Consideration
for the Housewife.

In decorating house the first essen
tial, if the undertaking is to be sue
cess, is q knowledge of color and color
values The man of the house may In
6ist on offering a suggestion or two as
to what is to go into the den, but even
then he probably won't be concerned
WITH such a so-called feminism as color
schemes, so it falls upon the woman to
make or mar the project.
Firstly, one must realize that there
are physical and mental effects Of col
or regardless of artistic value. OF
course there are more or fewer vogues
for certain colors and color combina-
tions-old rose and blue Or green and
gold, for instance. Colors are refresh.
ing, depressing, cheering. Although
certain colors affect different persons
differently there are more or less re-
liable effects.
Yellow, for instance, is the color
that enlarges and expands things. A
room decorated in yellow makes the
spaces larger and roomier. It is the
magic color in that it changes not
only the value of the thing that pos
sesses that color but also the relation
ship Of the surroundings. True, it
never gives the sense Of coziness, but
it has the welcoming quality.

MY Dear Mamma and ALL AS I
didn't get chance to mail the letter
1 wrote yesterday, will add a few
lines more. We haven't got down to
our duties yet but will soon get rested
up and assigned, so am taking ad-
vantage of this opportunity and writ
ing as often as l can find any news.
We were issued bed sacks filed with
hay, and it certainly makes a grand
bed.
Last night truck picked up two
Belgian children out of the mud and
brought them to camp. They were
nearly frozen and positively did not
have enough clothes on to hide their
nakedness. They are about Z and 4
years old, both boys, and we warmed
them by the kitchen fire and gave
them something to eat. One boy and
myself started out and he had two
pennies and | a franc, so we started
collection to get them some clothes
and shoes, each boy contributing the
pennies he had in his pocket, and in
few hours we had collected "a
francs, so we got a pass to go to
town and got a dear, sweet lady from
fn Will 4
them wool suit, underclothes, shoes,
stockings, mittens and caps. For they
idn't have anything at all. She went
back to camp with Us and we found
one of them was completely exhaust
ed, so we carried them to a hospital
gave him bath and put him to bed
The doctor said he almost had pneu-
monia, SO we left him with the nurse
and left his clothes. The other one,
we got one of the boys to cut his
hair, gave him a bath and dressed
him, and he was certainly one happy
little fellow We took his picture and
the boys say we are going to adopt
both of them and carry them back to
the states. The oldest one Is and
has a good face, but. nv. the ex-
preston of pain and suffering is
stamped there. If anybody happens
to ask what the war is about, just tell
them of this and the thousands of
others like this. We don't know what
laps Of luxury we've been in. We
can't even find out their names, but
we know we have done a coed. &C;
and relieved these little fellows, SO
it doesn't make any difference. Well,
