Color has become so pronounced q
vogue In interior decoration that it is
often used without discrimination be-
cause the function of color is not APP
preciated by the home decorator. To
the skilled professional decorator each
color has its significance in home fur
nishings, and it is employed to gain
specific results.
Colors that are luminous in them
selves are used to suggest the bright
ness of sunshine and to lend cheer to
rooms. These hues may be important
to simulate sunshine in rooms of north
ern exposure. This is their material
purpose. Or these same colors may
be used to aid health by raising the
spirits of the person occupying a room
because the tones produce a happy
reaction. This is their psychological
value.
Dark colors are needed to give bal
ance to gay tones lest they become
too stimulating to the average person,
or to prevent too garish a color scheme.
Dark tones are essential in rooms
flooded by sunlight. They draw the
walls of a room closer, apparently, de-
creasing any tendency for a room to
seem over-large for its use. Or If rich
furnishings are full of color themselves,
a dark background of floor and walls
may set the pieces off to best advan-
tage.
Neutral colors are safe in that they

The floor covering is Of plain green
Wilton and the curtains of yellow jaspe

covered with lilac rep piped with green,

note of contrast so necessary to the
success of a ROOM.

Never would Anna HerSchel admit
that there might be good in books.
Though books helped to bring fame
to her family and immortalized her
second son, William, she still opposed
them. She blamed them for taking her
children to foreign shores III breaking
up the home.
1t mattered not that william became
one of the worlds greatest astronomers
and that his brother, Alexander. and
sister, Caroline, also achieved S~plendidly
to share his glory.
Even when William was Smuggled out
Of the royal guard at Hanover to go
and seek his fortune in England. Anna
had to take a final fling at books. Two
years before. when William had gone to
England with his father, Isaac, n his
brother. Jacob, as members of the royal
guard, he had brought home with him
Locke's Essay Concerning Human Un-
derstanding." 1t was his dearest treas
ure. Anna had time to pack 1t in the
bundle he was taking now to England,
but she did not.
"Ach, that book!' she said to herself
as she turned ava from 1t. mo, /

and clothing-that is what he needs
From the very start she and her
husband had been at l~oggerheads over
this matter of education. 1t was true,
she admitted, hat it had been nice to
heal the youthful Isaac play the oboe
and the violin. However, would he
not have been better of II he had done
as his father had done and been a
simple gardener? But, no, he had to

The late G. Stanley Hall, who was
recognized as the dean of American
psychologists, made a study of human
fears. He found no less than 276 diff
ferent fears. He gathered his material
mostly from medical literature. These
morbid fears are known as phoblaS,
which simply means fears that are more
or less unfounded and in the nature
Of n disease. These morbid fears are
merely e~Xaggerations OF normal fears
that all of us are likely to experience.
Fear is the greatest enemy OF man.
We spend Il brief span OF life under
the shadow of some fear. Nc sooner
do we get away from one fear than we
acquire another or a whole swarm OF
them. No one escapes entirely.
We are afraid of poverty, of failure,
Of losing u job, of meeting with some
accident, of losing the love OF a friend
or our sweetheart. Of not being Bile
to keep up with the Joneses, OF being
snubbed by those who stand above us
socially and a hundred and one other
fears that beset our common humanity
to keep us on the Qui vive and rob us
OF the full enjoyment OF the good h a
Is ours.
The newspapers reported some time
ago hat a French bride shot her nus
band and then turned the gun on her
self and took her w life, leaving
a note which stated that she was too
happy to live, that she was SO happy
that she was afraid Of happiness. II

Caroline. the younger daughter,
showed signs of being intellectual.
"She should have an education" said
Isaac.
Anna replied: 1.-TWO or three months

household linens-that is all the educa-
ton she needs"
Poor ANIMAL Hers was a losing battle.
All the children but Sophia made names

Vitamins.


There are certain foods which you
must have. and the sooner you find out
about them the better. You must, for
instance, know which foods contain the
greatest proportion of vitamins, which
means that you must know the vari-
cites of this mysterious food element.
First of all it's difficult to tell when
vitamins are present in food, but it's
easy enough to tell when they're not.
Sailors who lived chiefly on timed
meat and bread in the old days before
refrigeration made fresh foods possible
on long sea voyages, developed an ugly
skin disease called scurvy. Babies
in ignorant families brought up on
SKINNED milk develop ricketts,. A very
small amount of certain fresh foods
supply enough vitamins (the word
means life-giving) to avoid this.
We know three types of vitamins, and
are finding out about more. Vitamin A
exists in rich milk, cream. butter,
cheese. eggs, liver, kidney, pineapple,
tomatoes, peas, carrots, string beans,
lettuce and greens. Lack of this par
ticular element undermines resistance
to infectious diseases, checks growth
and even causes ap eye disease. An
even slight deficiency in it causes hard
ness and dryness of the skin.
Vitamin B is present in most Of the

case, is utterly lost even when simple
questions are ~propounded.
1t might appear to the onlooker to
be the easiest thing in the world to
answer an attorneys question, u h
environment, the awe and the lack of
knowledge Of court procedure Is terror
izing to many.
A man says he saw the defendant
cross the street at z o'clock. Was 1t
really 7 o'clock? How does he know
it was Z o'clock? Oh, he looked at a
street clockl How did he know the
street clock was correct? What made
him look at the street clock? Was he
in the habit of doing so?
Then there is the "staller," who tries
the patience of an examining lawyer.
His memory is conveniently vague as
to certain important points. Here is
an example,:
@. Did you communicate with the
defendant just prior to the affair?
A. I don understand you.
@. I say, did you talk to the de-
PENDANT before the affair happened?
A. Well, I think
@. Never mind what you think. An
swer the question, yes or no.

A. NO, Sir.
@. But you said a few minutes ago
that you and he had arranged to meet
and you talked to him over the phone.
A. Oh, did I? I meant to say
@. Never mind what o meant to
say. Then you did communicate with
him?
A. Yes, sir.
@. Did the defendant ever say to
you that he was going to sock some
one?
A.. I don't understand you.
@. Did he ever say In your presence
that he was going to strike some one,
or that he had 1t in for a certain
person?
A. Well. last Tuesday him and me
was in an automobile and

A. What question.
@. Just what I have asked you. Did
he ever threaten anybody In your pres
ence?
A. Well. about two years ago

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June !, 1894 train of cars arrived
today from Rectortown and Manassas,
Va, bringing several hundred sick n
wounded soldiers for the hospitals OF
Alexandria and Washington. From a
gentleman who came on the same train
and who was with it from the time it
left three DAYS ago, it was learned that
the sick of several Union Army divisions
in and about that neighborhood were
collected at RectortoWn for the pur-
pose of being sent back.
Three days ago the sick men were
loaded on the cars. Some were simply
platform cars with no shelter of any
kind and the men suffered greatly. That
night and the next it rained and the
sick men on the platform cars had
nothing whatever to cover them except
their blankets.
At Manassas, where the train lay nine
hours. a number of men procured such
neceSsaries rs they could and diStrib-
uted them among the suffering soldiers.
There appeared to be no efforts what
ever on the part of the military authori-
ties to make the men more comfortable.
Eyewitnesses said that at Rectortown
and other places on the route milk,
bread and other nutritious and neceS-
sary foods could have been easily pro-
cured, but those in charge did not try
to get them. Some persons on board
the train are threatening to report the
matter to Army headquarters here.
Lieut.. w. G. Raymond of the 86th
New York Volunteers and his assistants
have been working very effectively i'll
Washington during the last few days
breaking up various disreputable re-
sorts where soldiers and bad characters
have been congregating. During the
past week they searched a great number
of suspected places and recovered over
ST, 500 worth of Government property,
such as uniforms. blankets, shoes, etc,
pawned by the soldiers for ~'tanglefoot
whisky They also destroyed a large
quantity of this poisonous beverage.
Most of the crimes and miSdemeanors
of the soldiers may be traced to these
unlicensed holes, where bad whisky, or
something that goes by the name of
whisky, is dispensed. Some petty
gambling places have also been broker
up and descents have been made on
several more prominent gambling
houses. About 81 800 has been captured
and placed in a local bank to await dis

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO T
The Teaser.

Every playground knows the boy or
girl who loves to tease. They will make
faces at the child who is afraid of such
grimaces until the child cries and runs
home for shelter. They will call names
Il children who are sensitive to such
treatment. Billy, lily tilly. silly, Silly
Billy is the delightful chant one sends
hurting against the ears of a sensitive
little boy whose name happens to be
william. 1t hurts William to be called
that name, to have such words thrown
after him as he goes about his bust
ness. But the teaser laughs heartily. It
is such fun to tease william.
There is the big boy who looks over
the head of the little one and then
grabs him by the leg so that he falls
down hard on his nose and cries. We'll.
well. Stub your toes didn't you, Son-
ny? Too bad" and then as the luck
less child tries to escape. throws him
down again. Then the teaser laughs.
Whenever a bigger child, or a teacher,
or a parent happens along and inter-
feres the merry teaser says. L wasn't
hurting him. I was just teasing him"
AS though teasing a child was not
cruelty. Bullying a child is a cleaner
term for the mean-spirited action.
Grown people are not faultless in the
matter. Many a grownup man has
brought tears to the cheeks of little
children by teasing them. The child
does not understand how one car smile
and smile and be a villain still-and
that makes the situation the worse.
Teasing is another form of bullying
and the sooner the screen of playful
ness is taken away from the downright
cruelty of the whole matter, the sooner
1t will be corrected. People who would
hate to be accused of cruelty to chill
dren, will gaily tell you what fun they
had teasing.
Teasing souls stop. rather 1t ought
never to begin. If the person that is
being tormented were strong enough to
throw his tormentor into the waste
basket the teasing would cease. Why
not take a good look at such a situation
and correct it?
Mothers should put a stop to any
form of teasing in the household. There
are plenty of games for the children
to play without making game of each
others weaknesses and so strengthening
them into the bad habits or nervous
ailments. And grown people ought to
have sufficient mental resources to find
subjects for conversation, or thought, or
action, apart from the helplessneSs Of
children.
Teasing is bullying. 1t is cruelty. It IS
an expression of inferiority in the
teaser. 1t holds good for nobody and
the sooner it disappears from the civil
lied world the better for everybody.

one and one-half cupfuls pastry flour,

s~poonfuls shortening and approximately
one-quarter cupful cold water. She
lined the plate with this and built up
a rim. Then she mixed one cupful
sugar with two tablespoonful flour and
put half this mixture on the pastry.
She put the pitted cherries on top Of
this and added the remainder Of the
flour and sugar mixture.
She never put any soda with her
cherries, even though they were sour.

more fears because we have many more
things to be afraid of.
A certain amount of fear makes for

The excessive fear is due to u lively
imagination which exaggerates the
normal fear like a magnifying glass.
Fear in the form of anxiety and the
worries of day dreaming. is a slim

the monotony of commonplace living.
Anxiety quickens the pulse and other

nishes a real pastime.
We are afraid of things because there
are things that might injure us. The
fear reactions put us in readiness to
defend ourselves. In the absence OF
real dangers we concoct a few in order
to enjoy the thrill that accompanies
the fear emotion. Fear is u friend as
well as our enemy. 1t all depends on
the occasion for the fear and the in

If this is your case you should have
the right sort of treatment for it and
get into frst-class condition. You can
do some filling out through massage
with a nourishing cream, but n best
way is to build from within. Remove
cleansing cream as soon as you have
fully fabricated the skin with it, as by
that time you have reached as much

at that time. If the olive oil is OF a

more substance and warmth.
Lace, printed and plain chiffon, fiat
crepe, georgette are the favorite mate
rails for negliges this season. Dotted
net was chosen for the light green
neglige shown in the sketch.
1t is increasingly difficult to give a
real definition of the sort of costume
hat we may correctly speak of as a
neglige, since they appear in the form
of pajamas, of jacket ensembles, of
short-Skirted one-piece frockS, of
draped gowns, of long coats. The two
essentials seem TO be that the garment
whatever it is should be comfortable and
for Summer wear light and airy and
that it should be made SO that it may
be slipped on with utmost ease. For
this reason the sleeves when present
are usually Of the flowing sort.
A most attractive little step-in can
be made from a square for the skirt
portion and two oblong sections for
the top. The square is arranged to
form a short circular skirt with points.
