Variety and Artistic Beauty in Store for Next Year. Pinks In All Shades, Blues, Greens, Yellows, Violets, Browns and Grays in Profusion. Seldom even in pre-war days have colors promised more variety, artistic ‘Deauty and brilliancy than for the sea- son of 1920. That fashion will have a galaxy of colors to choose from is proclaimed by the 1920 spring season color card just issued of the Textile Oolor Card association. Pinks abound in rofusion. They range from the most 'elicate tints— implied by thelr names—zephyr, dawn and nymph, down into lustrous rich tones called rosebud, arbutue and eweet briar. Three true venetian blues of the turquoise type follow, called Lagoon, Venice and Adriatic. ‘Also three soft lavenders—morning glory, crocus and thistle. Five scintillating greens of bluish cast range from a light water green named Nalad through gradually deep- ening tones—Neptune, Jjadeite and scarab, ending with a deep brilliant shade called mint. Among the old ahades of pink are tearose, coral and the well-known shade Bermuda. Three new yellows of slightly greenish tint are cockatoo, quite pale in tone, and sulphur and citrine of greater depv.h. The violet tones are well represent- ed in hyacinth, foxglove and hearts- ease, the last a deep rich purple. Flaming brilllancy accentuates the red family, Only three shades are includ- ed, but each distinctly individual. Firefly, the lightest, Is an unusual shade of pronounced orange tone. In the neutral and dark shades, browns and blues share equally in im- portance. One brown family portrays the burnished yellow tone suggestive of aboriginal tendencies which their neames aptly imply, Aztec, wigwam and mocassin. Cattdil I1s a dark brown, less yellow in tone, ranging a trifle lighter than seal brown, which again appears. Another range of six leads off with a light sand shade, called pebble, and runs on down through the light belge tones, moth and pecan, into the medium and dark- er castor shades, grouse, eagle and moose. A range of exceptionally good blues of the Delft and tapestry persuasions appear. Starting with a rather faint dlue, called aquamarine, and followed by twilight, of deeper, clearer tone, one finds shades In this group cover- ing all the varied tones of blue, areo, hydro, radlo and orion, favored by fashion. Five grays are shown, ranging from a delicate tone, called wood ash to the medium soft shades, cinder and zinc, down to the darker shades, pelican and grebe. SMART VEIL AND NECKWEAR Veils and attractive neckwear play, an important part in the well-dressed woman’s wardrobe, as usual, this sea- son, This vest of brilliant-lined silk, and the fancy-figured veil are very popular, and both are decidedly chic. THE USEFUL TAILORED FROCK Milady Considers Her Wardrobe In- complete Without at Least One Such Outfit. The tailored frock for street wear 18 the most important garment to be chosen during either spring or fall. For several seasons the two-plece suit has enjoyed a rather doubtful vogue, while | == the one-piece frock has gained in favor each succeeding season since it made its initial appearance. The two-piece suit 1s really an expensive garment, no matter what it costs when purchased, for the reason that innumerable blouses must be purchased also, and during the past two seasons the pos- sesslon of a two-plece suit has meant the purchase of several separate vests as well. The one-plece frock only re- quires at the most fresh collar and cuffs to complete it, and very often not even these. In addition to these rec- ommendations, the one-piece frock is so easy to slip into and so generally becoming that no woman considers her wardrobe complete without at least one tailored street frock for every season, COLORS FOR 1920/ FHA Forty Sophomores Bogm Year by Takmg a Bath VANSTON, They will not. man’s haircut.

As one sails along the shores of Greenland, Labrador and Newfound- land he sees bleak rocks, sometimes small and sometimes rising three, four or five hundred feet out of the sea, covered as thickly with birds as a tree i3 covered with a swarm of bees which has just left the hive. * The birds which gather in the largest congregations are the guille mots and cormorants. Something over a century ago the great auk swarmed in the north, but this bird has become extinct. The most numerous of all the northern birds is the guillemot, called by the fish- ermen “murrs” and “turrs.” It sup- plies a hundred thousand fishermen every spring and summer with the only fresh meat they get while afloat. These birds weigh nearly two pounds. They are white on the breast, black on the back and have! long, black, sharp bills. They con- gregate in the bays in winter in hun- dreds of thousands and in spring fly out and wing their way south to rocks and islands on some desolata coast. They have beep seen perched in thousands on some iceberg mak- ing its southern march from Baffin’s bay in the spring. Coal Gn as Automobile Fuel. In the course of the world war many motor vehicles were operated in Eng- land with coal gas because of the scarcity of gasoline. The gas was con- tained in collapsible bags made of rub- berized balloon fabric. At present, however, compressed gas In steel cylin- ders is being tried. It is stated that the gns 1s forced”in to pressures as high as 2,250 pounds per square inch. The cost of compression is stated to vary between 40 and 75 cents per 1,000 cubic feet of free gas, and the cost as fuel in the engine is equivalent to a cost of 12 cents per gallon on the liquid fuel replaced.—Scientific American. WHAT CAN HE DO? A fellow can cook his own meals, but when it comes down to washing and ironing his own shirts, and va- derwear, and sox and things—well, Herman Gordon says “it hurts.” Herman, who lives in DeKalb ave- nue, Brooklyn, replied to his wife’s suit for separation. He said the missus turned anarchist and had no time for anything but meetings of reds. She struck against housekeep- ing, said the husband, and after de- claring herself a free agent, refused to either cook or do the family wash- ing. “What can a fellow do with a woman like that?” asked Gordon. Can anybody tell him ?—New York Sun. PERFECT ANESTHETIC. Nikalgin, the external anesthetio used so successfully in army hoe- pitals on the Verdun and Somme fronts and at Paris, is the invention of an American electrical engineer. The inventor also designed a jet for applying the solution with sufficient force to penetrate gauze dressings and pus-coated surfaces. The prep- aration is reported to be composed of quinine, hydrochloric acid, and urea, but the manner of compound- ing it is not disclosed. It was used in large quantities by the French and Italian armies. , WHERE EAST AND WEST MEET | Young Chinese Girls in San Francisco Learning Language and cuntomu of the Country. Young Chinese girls in San Fran- | cisco’s Chinatown offer the most strik- ing examples of the meeting of the East and West. Physically and men- tally they show the two opposite influ- enc»s under which they live, says the Christian Sclence Monitor., Their con- versation is- a curious mixture of English and Chinese. In their homes they speak Chinese, but by the time they reach fifteen or sixteen they know English better than their mother tongue. Among the families who can af- ford to do so, the girls are sent to some teacher of Chinese to be taught to read and write their mother tongue, outside of school hours. For the fathers and the mothers have a wistful hope of returning some day to China, and it would never do if the children were lnstructed only In a foreign tongue. The life of a Chinese glrl is not altogether simple. In the poorer and more ignorant families the parents are often filled with superstition and preju- dice against the education of women. In spite of the many obstacles, how- ever, they usually manage to get in touch with some of the advantages of- fered in their quarters, being alided by social settlement workers of China- town.

Employees_in Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom- en and Children Working Twelve Hour Shifts. . One-fourth of the women In the world are Chinese—200,000,000 of them. They are going into industry in large numbers to work long hours and for little money. In Shanghal, for instance, seventy per cent. of the employees in the cotton mills are women and children. Working hours for spinners are from six in the morning until six at night and from six at night until six in the morning. Weavers work from 5:30 in the morning until seven at night and the wages are from ten to twenty cents a day. Hundreds of women are em- ployed in silk fllature mills, standing hour after hour washing cocoons in basins of boiling water in the ex- cessively hot rooms necessary for apartments where fine silk is spun. In Canton alone, there are 150,000 women In factorles at a maximum | wage of forty cents a day for women and of fifteen cents a day for girls. As part of its program of world service for women the National Young Women's Christian Association s ex- pecting to put on its staff of sec- retaries in China an expert on in- dustrial canditions who will develop ' social work in factories, and work to improve conditions for women em- ployees. This work will include the introduction of recreation and social life among the workers and of health lectures and educational classes, Hops. Hops are grown In a number of | states. In the central and northern | part of the state of New York many | farmers make a specielty of their growth, The yield is from 700 to 800 pounds the acre in that state, but on the Pacific coast. where most of the hops consumed here are grown, the vield is between 1000 and 2,000 pounds per acre. Oregon produces’ more hops than any other state in the Union. By far the greater part of the hops raised have been consumed in the breweries of the country, but they are also used in pharmaceutical prep- arations. The present one-half of 1 per cent beer contains hops, but not in such large quantities as in beers of the larger alcoholic content. And then it is not likely that the kind of beer permitted under the prohibitory taw will appeal largely to the drinkers of old-time beer. It seems certain that the demand for hops will fall off greatly. Detested Cowardice. Cecll is not particularly pugnacious, but he detested cowardice in any one, and, noting George's aversion to games in which he might get hurt, he deter- mined to initiate him. The teacher caught him holding George down, and he was asked to explain. “Well,” he answered, *“I dared George to fight, and he ran; so I'm holding him till I can argue some cour- age into him; then we are going to bave a scrap.” The Wonderful Girt. “Is our friend a great orator?’ “A great orator?” repeated Senator Sorghum. “Why he can convince you of something without taking the trou- ble to understand it himself!” THE ‘UNIVERSAL CAR LET THERE BE NO DISCORDS If your Ford car is out of tune, there is undoubtedly a very good SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1919 (Y An Indispensible Item in the Well-Dressed Woman’s .
