 NEW SPRING C0LORS

Although chilly blasts are blowing that make us ito shiver and sneeze," like the old lady in the nursery rhyme, spring is surely coming, and with 1t new colors for our clothes. The secret of what these will be like is too good to keep. So don't let's keep 1t another minute. even though we are still in the middle of winter.
 No, indeed! No new color has been found hidden away in the rainbow, but wonderful and gorgeous varia- tions of the old ones have been ere ated for us by the dyers. Those arr lists, like great, mad giants, splash shop windows and ball rooms, on the decks of ships and stages of the atres, all those places where women's clothes interest other women. And that is to say everywhere.
 It wouldn't be spring without new shade of green. Would it? So we are going to have Yu Chi, dag zling shade that has been inspired by the beauty of Chinese porcelains It is deeper than jade, curious shade somewhat lighter than emer- aid. Then, there will be several blues of wonderful depth and bril- liance, Cloisonne, for one, is that lovely intense hue that you see on cloisonne ware in little pools that 1ade every other shade that sur rounds them into insignificance.

ised by the oriental group. Hereto fore we have had to be content with a shade that was something like" lacquer-red. But it is said that this marvellous shade has now been repro duced perfectly with all the rich beauty of rare Chinese enamels.
 However, not all of the new shades have been inspired by the ancient art of the orient. Next summer we will find ourselves asking for grape fruit or melon color in fabrics. Grapefruit is simply the shade of healthy grapefruit skin, and melon is that luscious color half way be- tween orange and pink that we hope to find when we cut into a melon.
 There has been a great vogue this winter for stained glass tones, with deep reds and purples predominating. The purples give promise of retain ing this popularity. A new shade of will be known as Roman purple. It would be stunning for sport clothes

 The rich art of the early Indian tribes of Mexico and Peru has yield ed up several new. ideas in the way of brown tones. Yucatan, Inca gold and Peruvian brown range from light tan to a sort of tortoise shell color and Toltec is a rose tan shade that is characteristic of Indian pottery.

 Wait a minute" the Hungry How loon said, 1t isn't fair to roll up your sleeves when l haven't any sleeves to roll upy l shan't Wrestle you!'
 All right!' Raggedy Andy agreed, Then l won't roll up my sleeves eitherE
 My! But you would have been wrestled hard if I could only roll up my sleeves!" Raggedy Andy added as ne rolled his sleeves down again. ..
 "one! Two! Three" the Snitznoodle cried and Raggedy Andy and the Hungry Howioon rushed at each other. It sounded like Raggedy Andy had struck a bass drum when he hit the Howloon, and before his friends knew what had happened, Raggedy Andy picked up the Hungry Howloon and threw him clear across the room so that the Howloon hit against the sharp corner of the organ. The Hun gry Howloon seemed quite surprised He stood there real still and everyone heard a low whistle. Then they saw a sad look spread over the Hungry .Howloon'ss face and saw his knees tbegin to sag under him. No one said a word until the Hungry Howloon shrunk and wrinkled and shrunk until he sagged to the floor and lay there, wrinkled heap.
 Why! Raggedy Ann said in sur prise, "The Hungry Howloon is only made of rubber and he was punctured when he hit the organ! Poor thing No wonder he was always hungry, he wsa as empty as a foot ball." And Ra ggedy Ann felt so sorry for the Hung Howloon, she picked him up and draped him over cookie chair
 tThere's the puncturem she said Let us fix it and pump him up again! Anyway, look here!' she cried The Hungry Howloon never had mouth, so he could not have eaten the cookie people after all. And this was indeed true, so they had all had their fright for nothing, which is often the case.

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am heart broken man because I did not realize the real value of my wife and twa babies. devoted too much time to business and did not show them enough real love. I was cranky and disagreeable. and one night when I came home I found that my wife had taken the children and gone to her mother, and now will not let me talk to her or see the babies. No man ever really loved his wife more than l do, and have writ ten her acknowledging my faults, and begging her forgiveness, and promising to do everything possible to make her happy if she will come back. God knows there is no sacrt- flee I would not make for her, for am man who has been taught a bit ter lesson, and I have profited by it.
 | believe that my wife would for give me and that she would come back to me if 1 could only speak with her. and tell her how re- pentant l am. But her family will not let me have a word with her. They will not even let her receive the letters that I write. Do you not think it is wrong for her family to try to separate us when there is chance of our making up and being happy together?
 DESPERATE HUSBAND.
 Answer: If you have been neglect ful and unkind enough to your wife to drive her to the desperate step of taking her children and going back to her people, you can scarcely eX- pect her family to be particularly regardful of your feelings.
 Still. they are doing a very wrong and cruel thing in not giving you q chance to plead your case with her and effect reconciliation with her, if that is possible.
 She knows yol' better than they do and she may have faith that you have seen great light, and are truly repentant. and that you will really turn from the error of your ways. She may even love you still, in spite of the lack of kindness ana tenderness that you have shown her,
 Naturally, when fathers ana mothers see their beloved daughter mistreated by her husband, their hrst thought is to snatch her away rom of the home nest. And in their rage against him who has hurt and wounded their darling they magnify her wrongs, and do and say all they can to alleniate her from him, ana widen the breach between them. u is not often that you hear of the parents trying to patch up quaffel between their daughter and her hus- band.
 But in their partisanship the parents forget that the women who leaves even an uneongenial home frequently jumps out of the frying pan into the fire. For often the parents who in- fluence her to leave her husband have no home to give her, no support to offer her, and the woman tlhos that the freedom from her husband has only brought freedom to support herself and her children.
 IT fathers and mothers would coun- sel their children to patience ana forbearance, many a divorce would be sverted If they would act as peacemakers, many an estrangeu husband and wife would kiss anu

THAT WORD
 MYRTLE

Myrtle" is a good example of the way in which an object brought from distant country frequently brings with it the name which was applied to it in that country.
 For the myrtle came originally from Persia. There it was called, and still is called, "murd."
 When they brought the plant from Persia into Greece the ancient Greeks adopted the persian name with the object-"myrtos." On it's travels through Europe to France the name of the plant underwent only slight qualifications, and in the fInglislr language we find it practically in its original Persian form, so far, at least, as the root of the word is conca$=2a, It never underwent such changes as. for instance, the Italian nane of the town of Livorno, which was in corporated into the English language in the corrupted form, Leg ghorn.' recipe for happiness.

Filming up mistletoe in the home of the modern flapper is about as much work of supererogation as the well-known coal shipment to Newcastle.

 The truly modern woman may be defined as one who believes that husbands, like Christmas presents, should carry the exchange privilege

RADICALSARE
 ROUNDED UP
 BY THEPOLICE
Attempting to urn U. s Into a Communist
 Society

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Seven alleged radicals and militant con- munists were taken into charge by the local police last night and held pending investigation. The men were arrested as the result of general roundup of radicals in which agents of the Department of Justice par ticipated. A large quantity of fiery anti Government literature was seized.
 The police declared that the pa- pers seized in the raid disclosed a plan to convert the Governme workers to radicalism as a part of an attempt to seize the Government and turn the United States into a communist society. The literature outlines the method of converting the workers to the industrial revo- lution idea. The police statement quotes from a letter taken from one of the persons arrested and which was written by the Workers Party of America that reveals the hopes for such a result
