QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Painting the Lily

I bought some Florida oranges. almost red in color, bearing the imprint Color added" They are not very good oranges, but the color did not seep through into the pulp so far as can see. Is there any danger in eating such colored fruit? (H. c. W.)
 Answer--I believe the coloring matter is non-poisonous. Why not switch to canned tomato or tomato juice till you get undoctored oranges? Canned tomato juice is as good as orange juice as a source of vitamin c. and many times bet ter as a source of vitamin A. Much of the Florida fruit crop was ruin ed by frost last season.

q government detective who has the

laughingly dares Scotland Yard to in

Mr.. Gwenn's cordial impersonation he
is a jolly handshaker and backslapper,
q shrewdly honest and wholesome

by cons of theater-going, is not keen

cleansing and prophylactic.
Having limited In report Of Its first
New York performance that it Jagged

Miss Skinner 8 New One.

WASHINGTON will be asked nexi
week to sit In judgment on the
newest and probably most pretentioui
play that has come from the pen OF
Cornelia Otis Skinner as vehicle foi
her own unique acting in picturesque
dramatic sequences. And the new
play, for the first time since Miss
Skinner became an outstanding stage
celebrity tells purely American
story.
Mansion on the Hudson" is the title
Of this novelty, which follows an un-
broken record Of successes for 1.-THE
Empress Eugene" "The Wives OF
Henry VIII" and "The Loves OF
Charles H." The story has its begin
ming back in the Summer Of 1880
when James A. Garfield ruled over the
White House here In Washington;
when Chester A. Arthur, presiding over
the Senate, little dreamed that an
assassin's bullet would in the following
Summer elevate him to the presidency,
and when Samuel J. Randall Of Penn
sylvania occupied the Speakers chair,
In which he was to be followed by
John G. Carlisle, Tom Reed, "Uncle
Joe" Cannon, Champ Clark. mick
Lmgworth, "Jack" Garner, Henry r.
Rainey and Joseph w. Byrns.
Miss Skinner makes her bow in her
own new play as Mrs. Stanley How
land, mistress Of Tall Trees. New
York estate that had flourished since
Dutch Colonial days. Succeeding
scenes, all enacted entirely by the
dramatist-star, show the decline of
the Rowland family through the
periods of the Spanish-American War,
the Wall Street boom that collapsed In
1929 and the dawn and development
Of the New Deal.
Although Mansion on the Hudson
will have first place In her repertoire
at the National Theater next week,
Miss Skinner will appear also during
her Washington engagement in "The
