HANGINGS KEEP HOUSE WARM
Heavy Curtains an Effective Assist ance in Cold Weather-Moist Air
 Easier Than Dry to Heat.

Several things besides coal will help to keep the house comfortable. Win dows not needed for ventilation pur- poses should be stuffed all around with cotton or old newspapers. Storm doors and windows will aid materially in keeping out cold so will heavy hang ings that may be drawn across bay window spaces and other drafty places.
 In all English country houses these heavy curtains are a feature of winter furnishings; they are pushed back dur ing the day and drawn costly at night when the family gathers about the sit ting room fire.
 One gas jet, burning steadily, will raise the temperature of room five degrees-and five degrees count when your thermometer registers below 60! Spraying the rooms often with water in an atomizer helps, too, for moist air Is easier to heat than dry air.

VOGUE FOR DECORATIVE WORK
Combination of Braid and Embroidery Where AlI-Braid Embellishments Is
 Not Desirable.

When there is considerable sur face to be decorated, it is rather tedi- ous and tiresome to embroider the whole thing. And so the vogue for combining both braid and embroidery is fortunate one where the all-braid decoration is not desirable.
 The braid part of the combination usually confines itself to soutache, and the embroidery is interspersed in long stitch dabs- According to this method, the braiding need not take the form of intricate scroll work. As matter of fact, the work is very much more effective when the design is simple and bold, for the intervening embroid- cry can then be quite large and so much more effective.
 Large spirals "spoked" with long, straight stitches in silk or wool make very fetching decoration with silk sou tache of a contrasting color. Then the zigzag treatment of soutache may be given more decorative value by intro ducing large dots between the turns, worked solid.

CARE OF THE HAIR
Alcohol, 0rris Powder and Quick
 Water Shampoo.
Treatments That May obviate the An moving Inability to Obtain a
 WelI-Coifed Head.

There are times when a woman feels that she just can't go another day without shampooing her hair, yet she simply hasn't the time or the in- clination to go through the usual proc- ess. It may be, too, that she is un- expectedly called upon to attend a function at which well-coifed head is an absolute necessity, and she knows that her hair simply will not go up propeHy without 8 cleansing process of some sort.
 Also. if the hair is to be dressed im- mediately after the shampoo the rig orous soap shampoo can hardly be in- dulged in, for scarcely a woman but voices the complaint, "Oh, I've washed my hair and I can't do anything with it!" The question is, then, to.hurriedly cleanse and fluff the hair with the least inconvenience. There are three ways, notes an authority, in which this can be done.
 The alcohol method is excellent. First brush the scalp and hair thor oughly with a clean brush. Get all the dust and dandruff possible out of the hair and then rub the scalp with alcohol and wipe the thick strands of the hair with clean cloth. This will at the same time remove dirt and oil. If the hair is put on curlers immedi- ately after this treatment good curl will result in short time. Wet the hair well with alcohol for curling; it dries much faster than would water. Some women use delicate toilet wa ter for preparing the hair for curlers. The second is the orris powder method. Sift it we'll through the scalp and hair and let 1t remain for 15 min utes or longer, so that it will absorb the oil. Then brush it out and the dust will come with it. The powder will fluff the hair as we'll as cleanse 1t. Do not wet the hair for curling or it will become sticky.
 The third method is the quick water shampoo. It is the removal of the soap which takes so much pains and time. For an emergency you will find that abusing the head in hot water and then in cold, the latter to close the pores, rubbing it a little and en- tirely emitting soap, will put the hair in condition for dressing. Hair thus dipped in clear water will dry much more quickly than when given the reg ulation soap shanlpoo.sa Of course, this eliminates some of the oil and adds a gloss to the hair.

Why rrapper. wiIl Be Idle.

Mining and fur trapping in Siberif this season has been practical, stopped. Alaska miners and trappers who each summer go to the shores ol Siberia from Nome have been barred from their usual occupations.
 Nome is about 160 miles from the Si berian coast, and small American trade vessels in other years built up a thriv ing business on this route. This sea son, owing to uncertainty of economic and political conditions, there have been no expeditions to the Siberian side of the Boring sea-.
 Miners who have been on the St berian coast predict that after tht war the Russian territory will become second Alaska as it is rich in metals and furs.

when wraps are burdensome and the one-piece frock, unprotected, is chilly. We need the American costume that was invented to serve our necessity.
 Tn January we begin to face the win ter, and yet, with our usual capricious- ness, we face the fact of choosing new tailored suit. Even if we do not buy it, I've talk about it. We like to speculate upon its possibilities. We show exceeding interest in the new fabrics that are advanced for it and the coIors that the season will pro claim. Shirtwaists and various types of blouses engage our attention. The length of coats, the narrowness of iceability of taffeta, the probabilities phrases and reflections that fit through the mind. I
 The dressmakers do good propa- ganda work along this line at this time. The Palm Beach season is thrown at us like a brilliant flag against gray, sleet-flled sky. It de- lights our souls. It makes us think of palm trees and coconut groves, of red clay roads in Georgia and Carolina, ef pines that reach into the blue and croon queer songs throughout the night, In other words, the tailored suit, offered to us today, makes us all dream; and dreams of pleasant things make life bearab1e.
 Moderate Skirts in Street Suits.
 Now, here are the essentials to pro- duce the dreams; Skirts are moderate in length and width In the new things that are exploited. They do not sweep the ankles; they do not curve in at the back of the knees; they have little resemblance to the lower part of nermaid's body; they are straight, their seams hold them steady; they barely escape the ankles, and they al- low freedom of movement.

Why Riu Guns Erode.

Prof. HI. M. Howe draws attention to the fact that many points connect. ed with the erosion of guns were ren' dered intelligible by consideration of the iron-carbon diaphragm. It has long been known that the interior sur faces of gun became hardened on firing, the effect being perceptible even after as few as five shots. Pro. lessor Howe believes that this hard ened layer is not due to carboniza. ton of the metal, but is merely re suit of heat treatment. The liner of a 14-inch gun has been worn out by TO shots, and therefore, the total eff. fective working life of this gun was only about 3.4 seconds.-Scientific American.

NO FUR, FRINGE,

LINING DOMINATES THE COAT

New York.-Twice year the little gyration of public opinion takes place around tailored suits, writes leading fashion correspondent. There is a rapid swirl around new center, and it sweeps over two continents. Twice a year women regard the tailored suit as the most important problem to be solved. A new one for autumn and new one for spring is the necessity of the rich and the extravaganza of the merely well-to-do. The glamor of one piece frocks, heaped with fur or GOV cred with smart topcoats, dies out. In autumn and spring we approach days

curve in. Remember that. for it is an essential step toward grace.
 There is an entire absence of fur on the suits. This is appropriate for the season, but it is significant of the fash ions of the present hour, for many women buy suits in January that are intended to serve them through the cold weather yet to come. They must be guided in their choice of reduced suits today by what will be worn to- morrow.
 The best tailor is content to let skirt go free of ornamentation. Braid Is overdone, fringe has become con- monplace, and neither will be returned to the spring fashions, as far as the prophets can see.
 Angora embroidery vanished with the war. Bias bands are good, and one of the best Suits worn by one who brides herself on leading the way, has three bias folds, doubled and stitched at the upper edge. These ornament the hem. .. @.
 Any woman would care to know the details of this suit because of its pres tige at the moment. It is of rough cheviot in mixed, golden brown that reminds one of the heather mixtures, only the touch of green is absent. There is the straight skirt with its double bias folds at the hem, and the coat that ripples bit from shoulders to hips. There are bias folds flaring away from the surface of the coat, at the hem and the wrists. The sleeves are cut straight, neither yielding to

the inclination to be Spanish with a bell-shaped opening at the wrist, or slzintight, after the medieval manner. There is wide, rolling collar that ends at the bust, and the fastening is unique; it consists of four long, wide tabs of the cloth, stitched at the edges, pointed at one end, with long, stitched buttonhole. These button holes go over large buttons covered with the material. The stitched tabs run well across the figure, but the fronts of the coat swing open, just bit as the wearer moves, to show a mandarin yellow crepe de chine blouse.
 Coat LInings Attract Attention.
 The dominant factor in tailored suits is the lining. It dominates the coat. It is intended to create more att tention than the outer surface. Its coloration is vivid, and now and then it displays the animated designs of the tapestries of the middle ages. Animals rove over it's surface. Human figures are engaged in human activities. Hunting scenes. pastoral scenes, gay little bits of street life, are put on the surface of your coat lining, and if you are clever. you see to it that the pub lie is instantly made aware of the novelty.
 The pity of it is that one does not take off the coat in public. That fashion went out of existence long be- fore the war dominated, the world. It has not been reversed. Women keep on their jackets until they take off their skirts. And yet, with this fash ion an accomplished fact, the design CTS by the usage of pictorial Things, are stimulating women to put their coats over the backs of chairs when ever possible. Why pay large price for a piece of satin tapestry if you cannot show it?
 The average woman, however, does not accept these animated designs, al- though she is quite willing to accept the verdict for vivid coloration.

Soft Suede Is Brought Out for
 Spring Jackets.
Pliable Material May Be Dyed in Sea- sonabIe CoIors and Will Admit of
 AIluring Combinations.

The unheralded advent of leather coats in the autumn fashions gave the public a jolt and a surprise. It is whispered, writes a correspondent, that even the designers were not quite aware of the strength that the fash ion would assume. Waistcoats of leather, Jackets of leather and fur combined, were taken up by smart women in war work and remained as a street costume for peace activities.
 The idea brought about train of other ideas. Soft suede and pliable leather have been brought out for spring jackets. The suede is dyed in the spring colors, and one of new leaf green which goes with white crepe

 Corn bread in times past was never served cold yet it toasts we'll and is good as sandwich bread. The filling of any sandwich should be moist enough to make it palatable.
 A common fault with most mothers Is putting too much into the basket. If the child attends school where hot soup or hot drink is served daily the luncheon will be packed with that con- sideratiOn. The day is not far away when the hot dish will be part of every school lunch.
 A baked apple or pear is always a good luncheon dish. They may be baked or served uncooked.
 In packing the lunch basket put the things the least likely to crush in the bottom and always have tucked in an out of the way corner bit of candy, a cube or two of sugar or a fig or few dates; such surprises delight the heart of a child.
 Here are few sandwich filings: Peanut butter mixed with little salad dressing or milk and chopped olives.
 One-haf cupful of dates, one-fourth cupful of nutmeats, ground and mixed, moistened with salad dressing or cream.
 Honey mixed with chopped oceans or any local nut. Honey with cream or cottage cheese is another good filling.
 One-fourth of a cupful of orange marmalade with two tablespoonfuls of chopped nuts Or any jelly or jam makes good filling.

FLOWER HOLDERS FOR TABLE
Ivory-coIored Porcelain Makes Up Att xractive Set for Pleasing
 Centerpiece-

Several years ago, when sets of porcelain flower holders, which, linked together to form great centerpiece, came in, they caused almost 9 dinner sensation. They seemed too much of a vogue to stay, but they are here still.
 One such set that recently attracted attention is made of ivOry-colOred porcelain. There are several narrow, troughIike flower holders that, pushed together, form an irregular oblong in the center of the table. Small, short stemmed flowers are arranged in masses in these dishes.
 Then there are eight tall candle sticks to match, and they are grouped around the flower dishes. A mirror fits nicely into the space defined by the flower dishes, and of course re- fleets the flowers above and around it.

HOW SCIENCE PROVES
 W GREAT ANTIQUITY OF DISEASE IN MANKIND-


 0 W GREAT ANTIQUITY OF DISEASE IN MANKIND.- The immense antiquity of dis ease is shown by scars and mal- formations on the fossilized re- mains of animals that lived hun dreds of millions of years ago. Evidence would seem to indicate that living things did not suffer from disease until the carbonif- erous age, according to Prof. Roy L.. Noodle, writing in the Scientific Monthly. In thar period of rampant life, when the enormous quantities of veg etable matter were being depos- ited on the earth to become our coal beds, disease seemingly be- gan its melancholy career. The oldest known evidences of patho- logical conditions among anil malls are to be found in the re- mains of very primitive worm like type of the coal age. Dur ing this age there was a wide spread development of bacteria, which doubtlessly had its mean ing in the origin of disease. Germ diseases are indicated; teeth of fossil fishes show evil dences of gangrenous conditions.
 The period immediately sue ceeding the carboniferous age was marked by the great devel- opment of huge and curious rep tiles. Fossils of these reptiles show widespread disease condi- tions and give the first evidences of injuries as they prevailed among the early forms of life.
 The prevalence of disease reached a height during the age of huge reptiles, and their ex- tinction apparently brought about the disappearance of many diseases which attacked them. At any rate, the incidence of diseases went down sharply with the disappearance of the reptiles and remained low until the rise of our own mammalian type, when it reached a very high point, which still continues.
 We know from medieval his tory that diseases become ex- tinct, and doubtlessly many of the ma1adies from which prehis- toric animals suffered are now extinct, and many that we suf- fer from did not exist among them.

Aim Above Happiness.

Some one has said that, if you would hit happiness on life's target, you must aim above it., No one is ever really happy if he makes happiness his chief endeavor. In thinking of others first, in striving for a purpose so high that it puts the thought of self in the back ground, in the readiness to sacrifice pleasure for better things, one reaches the heights of joy.-Girrs Companion.
