Clear the Bureau

TTNTIL quite recently. when sim. V plicity became the vogue in interior decorations, we used to adorn our bureau tops with all sorts of toilette accessories. There was the hair brush, comb, clothes brushes and manicure implements neatly arrayed in rows on top of the bureau. Now furniture design. CTS are building in extra drawers for these handy accessories where they can be kept free from dust. Clear the top of your bureau if you would be in style and enjoy clean, sanitary toilette requisites. The hair brush should not be ex. posed to dust and grlme all day as this is carried into the hair and deposited when the hair is brushed
 To avoid the barren appearance of an. unadorned dresser top one can slip a length of colorful or patterned material beneath the glass top. With a vase for fresh flowers or decorative bowl placed on top. the bureau will be not only smartly stylish in appearance but the articles we used to expose to germs will be kept clean and sani- tary within the small top drawers especially designed for their stor. age.

For Child Study

DACK to school again! The chil- D dren have. to concentrate on their studies and parents should strive to make. the study room as comfortable as possible.
 A, cleared table induces concen- tration. Where books and papers are scattered about in profusion, the eye telegraphs this confused picture to the brain and the thoughts are set into confusion. This is the reason that men of i'm. portant affairs have, their offices as simply unadorned as possible. The big business man Is usually seated at desk, the top of which is absolutely cleared of all papers.
 Supply your children with enough paper, pencils and rubbers so that there will be- no energy wasted by their having to stop to search for these necessities. Have a closet or shelf for these things and teach your children to know that the nook must be kept supplied before they begin their homo work. This instills an important habit of neat ness. Efficiency of time and en- ergy is necessary Wn4Ie the young minds are drinking in information tLey are to retain all their lives.
 Keep pencils well sharpened, lights well placed so that eye strain Is avoided, and your children will have to expend less energy than the child whose study room is neglected.

 she glanced at clock and saw that 1t was past seven. A little sigh broke from her lips. She and Howard would have been dining in the roof garden of a hotel in a distant city by this time had not fate interfered so mercilessly.
 The first qualms Of conscience began to overtake her. Was it .merciless? Was not this stroke of destiny one Tor which she and Preston, too, might be eternally thankful? A moment later she - found herself sobbing in her mothers arms.
 "Darlin', darlin'," soothed the gentle old woman, batting Kitty's soft black hair. What's the trouble, darlin'? Has some one hurt 'ye? I'll have 'em suffer for it, if they have"
 "No, no mother. It's I. I've hurt myself. But you couldn't under stand, Mommy. You wouldn't un- derstand. I'm tired, terribly tired. .. I want to go to bed"

Summer Love in Review

c UMMER vacations are over
 and many of us look back with
 pang of regret upon the love which came and went with Sum- mer. Summing it all up, isn't 1t really wise idea to stop, look and listen for signs of genuine sin cerity before plunging into the Summer love game again next year?
 Whether away from home or not during the Summer months, we are all looking for diversion. Those who must necessarily remain in town first feel the bangs of lonli- ness because the others are away. It is an unwelcome feeling to go home to the quiet house. And men never enjoy their own company for a great many hours at one time. They want someone to talk 1t over with" Hence, the Summer widower" fares forth to find that someone.
 Harmless enough is the begin ming of Summer Irritation. There is the usual story of loneliness and misunderstanding for only too well does the married man know that the deepest impression is to be made through gaining sympathy. And how very, very many sympathy seekers we have in this world to-

day. So, it is best for the woman in the case to reason well and try to put herself in the position of the absent one, whose Summer va cation Is, in all probability, replete with anxiety about Grade A milk for the baby, mosQuitoe bites to be bathed and soothed on Johnny, etc.
 Yes, 1t is much better to visualize all this while you smile under standingly at the man. Then. when the lonely season is over aud MT Man returns to his home life feel ing and looking like the proverbial cat who has swallowed the canary, Miss Lady nonchalantly lays aside her Summer fineries and gives con centrated thought to her Fall ward robe without the haunting smile of the lonely man who was so recently her dinner and dance companion at the seashore and roofs.
 Then, too, there is the lonely woman, who, freed from home cares and responsibilities decides to "get some fun" out of her bucolic sojourn. The man who is really casting about for true companion might just as we'll hold his decision in check until the vacation time, Summer love season has waned, and decide whether the siren ot the sunshine is just as sincere and al-

Light w a11s, Dark Floors

@NE of the mostS restful color O effects for a living room or bedroom is the combination Of light walls and dark floors.
 Monotony can be avoided by hay ing two shades of the light color employed. A very attractive room recently seen displayed a light cream wall with panels of the same color in a slightly deeper tint. The floors were stained a deep brown mahogany and polished.
 Another restful combination of color is a wall of pale green and . floors of deep green For an old floor that has outlived its accept ance of a varnish polish, the paint ed floor is excellent Linoleum or cement is also durable for the tinted floor covering. Use two shades of the light color for the wall if you wish to avoid flat appearance, but do not use more than two shades of the color or your restful effect will be lost
 A light grey wall shows light grey panels and is bordered in moulding of deeper grey. This neutral shade of wall paint can be used with any color floor from light oak to deep mahogany.

hours before. She glanced about the cracked walls and drew another sigh as her mother held match to the gas jet on the wall. Yet with all the sordidness Of their poverty, Kitty found sense of quiet repose when her mother had helped her slip off her clothes and tucked her gently into the folds of the old quilts. This was home. The only sort of home she had known all her life until she, had met Howard Preston. She closed her 'eyes and saw visions of those long days in the studio when she and Howard had first found the sweetness of companionship.
 Outside the shabby tenement a hurdy-gurdy began playing tune. Kitty opened her eyes and looked about. The cries of many children rent the air with blatant noises. Only a few years previous Kitty had been one of these play ing urchins.
 The hurdy-gurdy struck up a melancholy Italian air. The tune gripped Kitty's heart like a frozen hand. It was the melody Jack Sheridan had first sung to her at the gay studio party that had been the turning point in her unspoken love of Preston.
 Her thoughts went back to that evening and she remembered the details of the party as f the affair had fakan Y1aca nnlv a fnw hOlfrs ago.
 Suddenly, the significance of Sheridan's little sermon dawned

 "The woman with light brown hair tinged with red Is more for tunate than her extremely blond sisters or, for that matter, those with dark hair. A henna rinse will tone up her hair, not only conceal ing the suIiburn, but making it more attractive in coloring than 1t usually is in the natural state.

The. e.Valt,e of a
 Hobby

A TIER vacation time is over "A ,ve begin to feel the value < q of a period Of relaxation. All of us can carry this spirit through the entire year, by cultivating a hobby. ,.s.-5. !. .e .s
 The girl who goes to business can hnd a pleasant recreation dur ing evening hours in any of the hobbies which may appeal. There is dancing, fencing, indoor golf, skating, hiking. and, other sports.
 The housewife who grows weary of the home tasks will lind a de lightfuf form of recreation in club work. Plan to use an hour or more. a day in cliltivating your pet hobby. If your mind runs along more in- teilectual avenues, reading the best books, perhaps the classics, Or the best books of current literature, will offer a form of recreation which is very restful. :
 The restft1l mind and body are the ones that do the best work. But play is essential. Sleep does uOt dlWoyS SANVs uS tAS suCCCoSdIy form of rest. Sleeping will renew the physical tissues of the body, but the mind requires the supplanting of fixed thoughts with those of lighter strain, according, to a medi- cal authority. 3-,@ %ys
 Taking frequent periods of re- taxation during the days work is another excellent way to enjoy the advantage of renewed vigor. If you stand at your work, tryesitting for ten:minute period at intervals. Standing draws the blood to the feet and forces a slow return of the How because of the weight of the body on the feet. If you sit at your work for a long period, stand erect every now and then, lift the arms above the head and inhale deeply. Exhale slowly and your body will jingle with new vitality.

XvTITHOUT again seeing w Howard, Kitty very slowly
 W left the house after Mrs. Preston had made her revelation. There was an aching dullness in her heart, sudden crashing of day dreams as if the whole world had tumbled about her ears.
 A tiny star twinkled in the tur- quoise sky just beyond the tree- lined street. Kitty watched it, fascinated. She could not think clearly. Only the picture of Cherie remained indelibly printed in her consciousness-the little helpless body that lay prostrated with pain on the bed.
 Then Mrs. Preston's expression flashed across her mind. The woman was either an exceptionally courageous soul or she was so entirely lacking in emotion that the sacrifice she was offering made no impression upon her. Strangely enough, Kitty was inclined to be- lieve that her first impression was true. And an annoying sense of oAoAc o"OPI InAouSA AOi WucH suo remembered her own lack H emotional restraint. She would take this Yoman's husband, ruth lessly, without thought of the sacri- flee it would mean to his family. and she chided herself for having become enslaved to her own emotion.
 The train drew into the tiny station and Kitty boarded it quite unconscious of her act. It seemed but a few moments until she was again wandering through the little crooked street in Greenwich Vil- lage where the towering tene- ments loomed before her. Once,

 U I have a lovely old Colonial clock but the works are all gone. My jeweler says there are no simi- lar parts made now. Could you suggest a clock specialist?
 MARGARET S.
 Antique clocks are very expensive to repair, but if no parts are made to-day ke those in your clock, why not remove the entire old works and have new. ones put in? l know of one beautiful mahogany clock frame which had a simple, inexpensive clock set into its body and not only looks well but keeps perfect time.

 COLLEGE GIRL.
 If there are spots here and there over the brim of your hat. l would cover them with small ribbon TO- settes, These rosettes are very stylish just now and would serve your purpose admirably.
 If the entire brim of the hat is not disguise the spots, would cover the brim with a wide strip of lace. the edge of which is allowed to fall over the brim. Tie the lace at the streamers to fall a little below the edge. If your felt hat boasts a tailored bow and you plan to use fared 5e 5afs bo nnd the tb tai shirred or pleated ribbon rosette. HEAR MRS.

 Why not cover the space with velvet flowers placed close to- gether? A strip of pleated red velvet would cover the straw and add an attractive, seasonable touch also make a pretty trimming and serve your purpose admirably. HEAR MRS. WILSON:
 O Please tell me what you like for dining-room window curtains. I have used lace once and cretonne, but would like a change.
 MRS. B. C. K.
 The new fish-net curtains are very attractive and filter the sun light to an apprecia ble degree. You can select them in any number of colors, including yellow, orange, green, blue or rose.
