Fashion Turns to Bright Colors.
BY ANNE R1iTrENHousE.

1t might seem difficult to find. any
connection between the present trend
in color fashions and the fact that
Westminster Abbey was started seven
or eight hundred years ago. How
ever, the fact is that English women
are taking a decided interest in
luminous colors because 1t has been
generally agreed that the peeresses
who assemble in the old abbey Tor
the marriage of Princess Mary must
wear frocks that depart from the dull
or dark colors that have predomtnated
since midbellum days. Some OF these
peeresses have solved their problem
by selecting bright colors. but others
wisely realize that a color to show to
best advantage must also be fairly
light. If there is metallic sheen all
the better. But the ceremony in
in mind. and 1t has been made quite
clear that arms must be sufficiently
covered and skirts must be long
enough to suit the Victorian taste of
Queen Mary.
And. of course, all this affects more
guests who have been invited to at
tend the wedding ceremony. Eng
lish women Of all shades of political
opinion find it to their taste to re-
fleet the radiance of princesses and
peeresses in matters Of dress. Doubt
and conservative skirts would have
come even had Princess Mary been
married two or three seasons ago.
And there would have been need for
bright colors.
But, as a matter of fact, everything
was set for an English wedding In
Westminster as far as French fash
ions were concerned, though un-
doubtedly it was quite accidental.
Long sleeves. even long close-fitting
sleeves, are no longer a matter of
special comment in Paris. And for
haps. than that she could hardly make
skirts any shorter, Paris is on the
second season of heightened skirts.
They are long enough now to suit
even Victoria herself. z
= And bright hues. light hues. bright
enough and light enough to dispel
the gloom of the old abbey built by
the ancient English kings had al
ready come to dispel the browns and
blacks and grays that have shrouded
French fashions for SO many seasons.
,, True some of the dressmaksrs ssniass i'm in
all-black frock-notabfy Rolande-
but most of them enlivened their
black frocks with touches of bright
hues. green's and reds and blues.
Where the all-black crepe frock per-
sists it is perhaps because this color
and material serves as an excellent
medium in which to develop q new
device Of silhouette.
1t is hard to suppress white with
black. Custom does not seem to stale
it's infinite variety and it always
plays an important part in frocks
and costumes planned for wear in
warm resorts or for summer. How
ever, this year the white with black
white frock combined with the new
bright green. One of the new bright
reds is also placed against white
with smart effect.
There is wisdom in following the
French lead in using this new bright
green almost always in combination
with all black or all white. Then it,
is at it's best. With discretion it

MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE

Study Your Room Before You S
lect the Cretonae for It.

There is no denying that cretonnes
are alluring. They entice us with
their lovely colorings. they invite us
to purchase them with their open
promise of making any room cheer
full that they are called upon to
grace.
But the trouble with their gen.
eralized use is that we too often Sc
lect them for a certain room before
givir g enough study to that par
ticular rooms needs. The mood of
the intended decorations should be
given due thought. The proportions
Of the interior should be considered.
and never should too many areas be
decked in cretonne dresses.
formal and only suited to informal
rooms. A colorful cretonne Is a
lovely thing, but it loses its charm
if it is called upon to do duty in a
room austere and dignif1ed in spirit.
The rosy reds, the brilliant blues, the
flowers that never graced any gar
den are gay, happy and youthful
and youth made dignified and prim
is sorry sight. That is what hap
pens to these colorful fabrics II they
are placed in surroundings that

Today the artist has shown you

Clearing the Skin.

There has been a great deal OF dis
cussion recently as to whether
steaming is good for the face or not
Usually do not advise people to
steam the complexion. because the
process is an exceedingly drying one.
What I advise instead ia to wiring
an old soft towel from hot. water and
to hold this over the face for mo-
ment, until the towel begins to cool.
This process~is to be repeated three
or four times and gives enough heat
to open the pores. of the skin. It
does not dry up the natural oils as
q more vigorous steaming does.
But in some cases steaming is
necessary. II there are good many
eruptions on the skin or IL there
are a quantity OF very large black
heads the following method of open
ing the pores should be adopted.
Bend over a large bowl Of very
hot water: II possible. the bowl
should be over heat SO that the water
does not cool. Throw couple of
large towels over the head so as to
hold in all the steam. Two or three
minutes over the hot water will open

f1avored with a little grated orange
crumbs and so on until the dish i.

the pores of the. complexion and will
make the skin red and wet.
Then proceed to rub the skin with
cleansing cream or with some medi-
Gated ointment for the eruptions.
The most effective way to treat
pimples. aside from the necessary
dieting. is to rub sulphur ointment
on the face. then steam it. This
gives the ointment a proper chance
to penetrate the pores OF the skin
and to heal the pimples. A cold
cream massage and a rinse should
follow.
Glee Can astringent powder used
in the armpits hnay prevent such ex-
cessive perspiration by hardening the
skin. 1t would be well to consult the
doctor, however, as SO active a skin
at this season of the year is alb
normal.
A simple astringent lotion is made
by mixing SO grammes of talcum
powder, is grammes of starch, 5
grammes of burnt alum and two and
half grammes of salicylic acid.
Use scented talcum If desired.

Lettuce the Natural Food.

have concluded an extended study
and research into the question Of So
called health foods by the decision
that it would be of the utmost benefit
to the general health If the consump-
increased about one thousand times
the present consumption. Let us
enumerate the reasons for eating let
tuce every day that lettuce can be
had.
"a. Lettuce Is ono Of natures tooth
brushes.
(2). Lettuce is rich in vitamins.
(3). Lettuce is unquestionab1y su-
perior to any known medicine which
may be taken internally as source
of available iron for man. although
certain iron solutions administered by
injections into the blood or into the
muscles may be superior in certain
illnesses.
a.. Lettuce serves as physiologi-
cal stimulus not alone to appetite
and digestion in the stomach. but to
the more important p. ocess of intes-
tinal digestion. and may be consid-
cred a preventive of colitis.
~(5) Lettuce gives wholesome bur,l
to the residue in the intestine, and
this tends to counteract the evils of
(6) Lettuce is among the lowest of
ali foods in fuel or nutritiye value
from the caloric point of view, yield
ing only 80 calories per pound.
(About equivalent to two crackers or
half a glass of milk. This feature
should commend lettuce to all over
stocked persons.
rs. Lettuce freely used in. the diet
onposes acidosis and tends to keep
the system normally alkaline.
The popular notion that lettuce ,s
sedative or soporif1c is myth propa-
gated by the romanticists who used
to write books on "dietetfcs" as an
avocation. Lettuce will no more
soothe the nervous system nor put
one asleep than will peanuts or ham
OF course the less wild life con-
sumed with or on ones lettuce the
less nourishing the lettuce will be.
Vegetarians should scrutinize their
lettuce very carefully. It il impor-
tant that all lettuce be thoroughly
examined to. discover unlimited guests

Cabbage Fritters.

Select from the heart of a cabbage
some firm, thick leaves, drop into
salted boiling water until transparent
and easily cut with a fork, but not
ready to fall to pieces. Dry these
carefully with a clean cloth, but do
not press them too much. Season
with salt, a little paprika and a
sprinkling of sugar. Have a good
fritter batter made as follows: To
one cup of flour add a pinch Of salt
and half teasDeon Of baking pow
der sifted, into this stir two we'll
beaten eggs and half cup of sweet
milk. Beat all well and dip each
cabbage leaf. Allow to stand a min
ute and dip again, then fry, two or
three at a time, in hot fat.

Delicious Baked Omelet.

eggs. Beat three eggs, both the
whites and the yolks separately. Heat

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tight Harness.

Tight Harness.
Does tho wearing of elastic garters
around the legs interfere with ~circu-
lation, or cause varicose veins or fall
ing arches or other foot or leg
troubles?-(M. M. Al
Answer-If the bands are at all
tight they impede the return flow of
blood from the extremities and tend
to produce varicosities or fullness and
Women should wear side elastics or
hose supporters attached to easy
waists which take their support from
the shoulders like Suspenders. Men
should wear no hose supporters. or
very wide- garters which are kept
loose.
Prescriptions.
Will a prescription number in one
state call for the same prescription in
another state? What does prescrip.
tion No. 1876 Minnesota contain and
what is it used for?-(Mrs. F. E. C) :
Answer-Pharmacist generally nle
in q record kept for the purpose the
prescriptions IN consecutive order as
they are filled. numbering them for
their, own Individual convenience.
Therefore no other pharmacist would
know what niEht be called for BY
whom the doctor prescribed should
receive the original prescription with
the medicine from. the pharmacist,
since it is the patients property;
though in some states the law re-
quires the pharmacists to keep the
original prescription on flle. In any
case it is almost invariably an un-
wise policy to use remedies that have
been prescribed for other persons.
