" WOMAN’S PAGE. New Colors From Precious Stones BY MARY MARSHALL. Every color of the rainbow seems to have its special exponents for the Spring. Quite often you hear of the coming vogue for jewel colors. We kave gone to the flower gardens and CREPE WITH BLOUS {IRT IS LAID 5 AND A BAND ORGETTE BODICE. IN WIDE OF PALE SHADING TO THE SKIRT AWAY “IGURE. THE CENTERS VF THE FLOWERS ARE OF RHINE- STON YELLOW FROCK vegetable gardens—and have found cornflower, hydrangea, rose, orchid, fuchsia, lettuce, spinach and such. Frults have given us lemon, apricot, plum and other shades worn here or in Paris this last season. There has been inspiration from the ocean— sand and pebble, and shell and shrimp. The daily bill of fare has been drawn upon. And here we are looking in the Jewelers' showcases or the lapldarian exhibition at the museum for shades for our Spring and Summer clothes. Tourmallne and aquamarine ar among the smartest of these shade As a fashionable color tourmal! seems to be a sort of dull rose, while aquamarine is a greenish blue. This, of course, In spite of the fact that Ceylonese tourmaline ranges from yellow to green and that from the Ural Mountains are sent tourmalines of blue and green as well as rose. Coral is spoken of frequently In prophesies of Spring fashions, but is, of course, no novelty. Carnelian has appeared In fabrics since its smart vogue for jewelry. Jade is still with us and =0 is emerald. Some of the dull blue tones found in new fab- rics for Spring might be called lapis lasull, if they have not been s0 called already. It is a safe het to say that yellow Wil be Increasingly populat as the Spring advances. This includes every- thing from an orange to a light yellowish green, known as lettuce. Pinks of the yellowish cast, such as saimon, have been worn much at Southern Winter resorts. Quite worth noting at some of these resorts has been the frequent choice of shades of yellow for bathing suits and other beach costumes, In the sketch is a yellow crepe trock trimmed with green flowers. (Copyright.) Bistory of Bour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN, KELLEHER. VARIATION—Keller, O"Kellaher. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish, SOURCE—A given name. Every time you see the family Naiie of Keller, don’t jump at the conclusion that it is German. Nine times out of ten it would be. But the tenth time it would be Irish and a variation of the surname of O'Kel- leher or Kelleher. The last is the most usual form in which the name Is found today. It is, of course, an Anglicized rendering of the true Irish family or clan name, which {s “O’Celleachair,” a combina- tlon which looks quite difficult to the English-trained eye, and even still ult as you try to analyze it. is always pronounced like aelic (providing it fsn't sllent), and In this name the diph- thongs all have a short vowel sound t is pretty much the same. h” is merely an aspirate, an short; 20 that “Kelleher” becomes an exact English rendering of the pro- runciation, * The “O'Celleachair” clan is an old one, the stronghold of which was in Munster. Its founder was & chief- tain named “Cefleachair” (the given name meaning ‘‘wise”), who was a nephew of the famous high-king, Brian Boru, who first established laws governing the adoption of family names among the Irish, though the custom of using them dates from many centuries prior to his time. WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. Woolen Materials. Good woolen cloth is expensive, and in making a purchase of this kind it js very important that the shopper be able to fecognize in the store something of how the goods will wear before going to the additional trouble and expense of making up the dress, only to find too late that it will not hold its shape and shows up its shoddy construction in various other disappointiag wave. Some women depend upon the sim- ple test of crushing the material and rubbing it together in the hands, claiming that they can tell in this way exactly how the, cloth will re- spond to service, as any roughness of the weave will be brought out just as it will by wear a good idea to hold 1l up between you and tudy the weave and efully. The weave of woolen fabrics is ry important, as it affects not only the wearing quality, but the making up of the s well as the success of the garment after it is finished. In a close-twilled weave we usually get a firm, durable material; but it must be remembered that while the loose, open weaves are more apt to lose their shape and to wear less stanchly, they do not have the dis- agreeab) habit of developing that undesirable “shine.” Slip the threads back and forth with the fingernail in order to examine the looseness of the weave. If they part readily and show daylight between you may conclude the light and the design LOOKIT THAT AIRPLANE GO = MAYBE SOME DAY WE’'LL BE coing = O SCHOOL | &% IN THEM | that the weave 15 too loose to “stand up” under considerable use. The ability to judge the quality of material through the “feel” or, as store people call it, the “handle,” is a sixth sense that comes only with a great deal of experience, but it i3 a skill that every shopper ought to make an effort to cultivate. The best wool will feel soft and springy to the touch, whereas a plece that @as & great deal of cotton in it will feel harsh and stiff. Worsteds feel stiffer than woolens, but there much gif- ference Dbetweea the handle ot worsteds, with thelr suggestion of substantial “bedy,” and the more lifeless feel of goods containing sub- stitutes. Careful tralning of the hand will soon enable one to detect the difference. Often it happens that one has a chance to get a “bargain” length of goods that has become sofled or dust streaked along the creases where the bolt was folded or is otherwise shop- worn and the worse for handling. It pays to take advantage of these low- ered prices if one has time to clean, sponge and press the materlals so that they appear llke new. Unlike the proverbial gift horse, however, a bargain should always be “looked in the mouth.” Be sure that there are no serious defects, such as pulled threads, In the woolen fabrie. Also, if it is faded along the outside folds, consider this carefully In the light of whether the color Is such as will stand the process of sponging and renovating and also the effect it will have upon the service you expect of the finished garment.

PENN'S IQEA TO PLANT A ~OLONY |WHERE ALL QUAKERS COULDLIVE IN PEACE - AND FREEDOM . - e st b My Neighbor Says: ‘When making oyster stew, first boll the oysters one-half hour in salt water. When they become plump and the thin., edges begin to curl, you will know they are sufficlently cooked. That is the time to strain the hot oyster llquid into the hot cream sauce and blend it, stirring slowly. Keep your refrigerator free from unplesaant odors, such as those given off by onlions, fish and cheese. Remember that milk absorbs unpleasant odors very quickly and becomes tainted. So does butter. Al- ways keep milk and butter in the coldest part of your fce- box or cellar and you will have no difficulty. When frying anything place a plece of bread in the frying pan and this will prevent the grease from splashing over the stove. Finger marks may be re- moved from woodwork by lightly rubbing them with a plece of flannel dipped In paraffin.

As dandruff isn't a pleasant subject most people don’t think about it, even after a warning itchiness sets in on their heads. They feel as good as cured as long as they can keep the unpleasant subject out of their minds. But as the itchy feel Is bound to in- crease, the contented state of mind never lasts long. In_addition to which the hair becomes first very olly, then very dry, and all the time thinner and thinner. At last, when the affiicted ones bewin buying whichever hair tonic happens to be recom- mended to them, they have a full- fledged, hard to cure, case of sebor- rhoea. Now drandruff (which is what that hard-to-spell word means) is cured by oll and more oll and still more oll, rubbed thoroughly into the roots of ‘the halr, and by the most careful cleanliness of the scalp and of the hats and brushes that come in con- tact with the halr, My advice is a weekly shampoo, Washington home of epicures LBERAL CONCEISIONS TO THE DUTCH AND WEDISH SRTTLERS ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN THE AND WAS CORDIALLY INDUCEMENTS, BY EDNA KENT FORBES. preceded by a three-day rub with ofi— that is, if you intend shampooing the hair Saturday—Wednesday and Thurs- day and Friday nights you will rub the scalp full of heated olive oil or crude ofl. The heat makes it easier to work into the scalp, and if you have an electric vibrator and can use that to work in the oHl, it will help greatly. Saturday, ~then, about three-quar- ters of an hour before you are ready to wash the hair, you will beat an egg just enough to mix yolk and white and rub this over the hair. Let it dry. It takes up the oil, dirt and dan- druff and makes the hair soft and beautifully glossy after washing. Then you'll wash with tar soap or castile soap, melted with hot water into a jelly. Three soapings will be needed and four rinsings or more. A drop or two of any good antiseptic in the last rinse water will help, too. Once a week, then, your scalp breathes free of dandruff. For three days the oil ights the dandruff. Grad- ually you will cure the trouble.
