CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLORS. Women early in life decide that certain colors are “becoming” to them. In later years they never bother to re-edit their first impressions of them- selves, even though complexioxs have faded and eyes that once reflected the favorite colors so radiantly are now paled and dimmed. Personal coloring changes with health and happiness, with sickness and sadness, so that a shade or tint that is very becoming to you at one time may be very try- ing at another. Under such circum- stances a readjustment of color is necessary. It used to be considered out of place for an older woman to wear anything but gray or black. Fortunately this cruel notion has been swept away with sundry old-time ideas and toâ€"day we see our grandmothers wearing what- ever touch of color will best bring out the beauty that was concealed under black. Black also emphasizes age and adds years to any face that isn’t glowing with youth. “Black should not be worn after a woman is thirty, unless for mourning, nor again until after she is sixty,” is an old saying in France, that country of fashions. But: there is no reason to look drab and dowdy. A good rule is that all hard, cold colors be avoided by the woman past her youth. Black should always be relieved with a light color at the neck line. Black satin has too high a finish to be really becoming, where soft- finished stuffs might be lovely. A gray-haired iwoman rarer looks well in tan or brown tones. Colors, such as green; which accen- tuates sallowness, should be avoided. Blue and purple, in the dull, warm tones, with some yellow in them, are frequently becoming. With iron-gray hair beige is usual- ly good, while with clear skin and pure white hair gray may be worn. From youth to old age every wo- man can wear white, but, of course, it should not be pure white, which is "hard" and brilliant. But then there are many of the soft milk, cream and pink whites from which to choose. AN EMERGENCY MEDICINE CHEST. The farm mother is the nurse of the whole family.

One of the most convenient play- houses I ever saw was made with scissors and paste and was tucked away in a large book. It had been a sample book for men’s clothing. The samples were removed and there re- mained a large scrapbook with sub- stantial cover. Almost any large store will give away these discarded books.

The girls who built the playhouse chose the front of the book for the lawn, porches and beautiful entrances. Then a page or two were selected for every room, and this playhouse was one of every room that children could imagine. Furnishings were cut-outs from magazines.

It is necessary that, the liver of a goose reach its maximum size before being used for pies, mi in the autumn the farmers select the larger birds, place them in individual boxes,‘ and feed them on paste of corn, cooked and salted.

The little French town of Strass- bourg has been made world famous through its manufacture of goose-liver pies, or "pate de foie gras.” This de- licacy is said to have been invented in the latter part of the, eighteenth century by a famous chef, Clause, em< played by the Marechal de Contades. one time Governor of Alsace. There are about twenty-five manufacturers inAStrasbourg, about ten of whom are of commercial importance. The manu- facturers do not concern themselves with the raising of geese, these being supplied by the farmers. Some of the families in this section of France have been engaged in raising geese for generations and the numerous flocks of geese in the roadways are often- times a hinderance to pedestrians.
