 The authors purpose is stated in his preface as follows Tn spite of the existence of num- Der of excellent works on gcometrical optics, the need of textbook which will serve as introduction to the theory of modern optical instruments appears to be generally recognized; and the present volume which is the outgrowth of a course of lectures on optics given in Columbia university has been written in the hope that it may answer this purpose. An admirable feature Of the book is the collection of numerous prob lems at the end or chapters, which should yield conscientious rtudent a great deal of accurate and available knowledge when he shall save solved them. ."T-Astrophys.

IF the wall paper Of room is Of

preferably should be of a plain color
and Of color that will echo with some
color in the wall paper design" says
William Dallas Campbell. national ex-
pert on interior decorating and ar

eff there Is bit of yellow in the
design that strikes your fancy, pick a
similar shade for the draperies. If the
draperies be of an outstanding design,
pick wall paper of shade that will
echo with a color in the drapery.
"Color, color, color and more color,
is one essential element Of dining

however, must not jar, must not
awaken one too rudely to face new

Il ailored Suits in
Fashion i'm | Paris
Well Dressed Women Place
Stamp of Approval
on Garment.

Suits are enjoying q bigger vogue
than they have for some time past.
The various Paris couturiers have put
forth an avalanche of ideas in the
numerous models which they have
created for this spring, writes Paris
fashion correspondent in the New
York Tribune. The models which ap-
peared at the spring openings in Paris
were quickly accepted by the smart
Parisienne, who at once placed her
stamp of approval on the tailleur and
the three-piece costume.
Three different silhouettes are seen
In the new suits. First there Is the
straight-line model, often varied by
being closely fitted about the curve
OF the hips. Then there is the bell
shaped silhouette, achieved by either
three-quarters length coat and a
aaring skirt or by hip-length jacket,
straight of line, accompanied by a
faring skirt. Finally, there is the
1880 silhouette greatly modified from
the 1880 hustle gown, but character
lied by skirt drawn in at the an
kles and following the figure closely
in front. There is upward drapery at
the back. oft IN combined with black
panel and sash ends which fall from
the back of the jacket
Both the normal and low waistline
are evident in suit coats. Some suits
effect a compromise by having two
narrow belts, one placed about the
hips and the other slightly below the
normal waist
In the matter of skirt length there
is a great diversity of opinion. Some
three-piece suits have skirts which
swathe the ankles, while others swing
10 inches above the ground.
Gray, beige and the lighter browns,
such as leaf brown and toast, hold
the stage in the more dressy tailored
suits. The whole gamut comes into
play in the three-piece afternoon CO.'S
tunes and the sports suits are in all
the colors Of the rainbow. White is
extremely popular for sports suits and
brilliant jacket or cape often tops

F ootgear for Women's
Day and Evening Wear

There are suede shoes for morning
that are flat heeled and sensible look
ing. These are excellent with the one
piece morning frock. Then there are
the gray and brown suede shoes for
afternoon which, with stockings to
match. look most interesting when COM
bined with the thinner afternoon frocks.
And then there are the brocaded and
metal cloth slippers for evening wear
which conform so nicely with the SIM
pie lines and markings of the one
piece dresses for the later hours of the
day. Remember always that they
should be kept in simple design-not
too many straps and cuttings and trim
mings and buckles and inserts. The
palmer they are the better and the
more perfectly they will carry out the
idea established by the marking and
design of the one-piece dress that you
happen to be wearing. There is no
place in this scheme of things to in
dulge in fancinesses of any sort Every
thing should be as plain and unadorned
as the design of the dress would indi.

Lighting Fixtures 60
Make a Bedroom Cozy

1t does not conduce to the comfort
of the family If there is only one good
place in the living room where one may
read under strong light. For each
member Of the household there should
be at least one place to read or work
during the evening. If the heads of
families would give more consideration
to this sort of thing, there would not
be so much difficulty in keeping our
young people satisfied to stay at home.
People as well as cats are strongly ap-
pealed to by comfort Yet so many
parents seem to think that boys and
girls should be satisfied with "any old
condition simply because it is within
the sacred precincts" of home.
In our planning for real comfort do
not overlook those who are hired to
help with work. In most kitchens
there are two sockets, one in the cell
ing and one over the sink. To be sure,
a kitchen is a place for work rather
than for recreation, but even the
busiest cook must have some time
when she can read the newspaper or a
book. The mere fact that the cooks
comfort is provided for will insure bet
ter-cooked meals than if she is dis
regarded in this respect In the plac-
ing of sockets suppose we begin with
the negative side of the matter first.
For there are some places in houses
where builders persistently place lights
that can, in general be made no use Of.
One of these places is over radiator.
During the cold evenings when the
radiator is in service no one can sit
near enough to it to make use of the
light for reading. In the average
house, ceiling lights are not nearly so
effective 1or so practical as those on

How Braid Trimmings
Should Be Handled

Before cutting braid which is likely
to fray, twist cotton tightly around 1t
and cut just below the part so tied.
1t is advisable to run a thread once
or twice across the end of cut braid
to prevent it unraveling and spreading
out of shape when the cut edge is
being turned under.
When binding coat edges with braid
tack on both sides before sewing it
down with neat stitches, and then iron
over with a damp cloth.
When applying braid to round or
Topped design, sew down The outer edge
first; afterward the fullness on the
inner edge can be arranged to fall
neatly in place.
