WOMAN'S PAGE. Sense of Color in the Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL, ‘There are women who seem to think | harmony who would do much better that it is a sign of refinement and good taste to avoid bright colors in dress en- tirely. There are women with a real love of red, yellow, orange, the more | not to wear colors, but these women a most always wear them profusely.

All vegetables should be put on to cook in boiling water. This holds the major portion of the mineral matter and starch within. Never salt meat that is to be grilled, as it hardens the fibers and tends to extract the juices. Salt it on the platter just before sending it to the table. No meat should be salted uncooked, but after the surface has been seared and the meat partly cooked.

But to the woman who dresses care- fully and who has a sense of color, my advice is to wear colors—all the colors she wants, But be sure that the time and the piace are appropriate.

For the formal afternoon ensemble you choose to wear to crowded afternoon receptions and church weddings, the | brighter colors are not so smart as darker | tones.

PEATTIE. earth these days lie buried millions of iving organisms in every square mile, I do not speak of the soil bacteria, of which there are always millions to the square foot, but of larger, more inter- esting things—the crocus bulbs, slowly breathing, slowly swelling in your own front lawn: the eggs of countless little insects, the tiny orchestras of the mead- owgrass, the Liliputian air fleets of Summer_twilights. And all the roots and seeds of flower and tree. If you take a shovel and dig to soft earth underneath the Winter-bitten surface, you encounter seeds. All the smaller little fellows probably will escape your eyes, but the seed of some nut tree will fill the palm of the hand. It lies there, heavy and black, damp with the rains, oafish with clots of earth clinging to it —as enigmatic a bit of Nature as ever turns it face to us. Is the seed living? Is it dead? Is all the future hundred years of a hickory's life curled up in this damp, dull morsel in the hand? Or is it only food for the devouring earth-molds? A stone is certainly dead and a jumg- ing grasshopper alive. But the prob- lem of the seed in the hand is not so simple, though it is much more prac- tically importdnt to know whether a seed lives or is dead matter than to know that a grasshopper lives when it jumps. Wi after all, is it to be alive? Not the power to think, for plants do not think. Not motion, for plants do not move; not growth, for crystals grow; not the ability to repair tissue, for snowflakes do that: not reproduction, for many animals live that are not re- producing and may never have a chance to do so. As I see it, all living things have needs—continual and, usu- ally, complex needs. This is true of every living thing. It is never true at any time of any dead thing. The needs of a seed are certainly few enough, but they are real. A seed cannot live with- out air. It may live without soill or water or sunlight (though it will not grow without watey nor produce food without sunlight), “but it cannot live without air. It can, in fact, in the case of the lotus seed live several thousand years simply by breathing with infinite slowness, has, therefore, a need. The needs of a man living at high ten- sion are manifold. It is the quality of needing that gives to life its restless and glorious activity.

While he was talking about applause, they gave him a m«f hand frequently. At one time he threatened to sit down it they didn’t let up on the kidcing. One suggested that he take it on his shoulders to see that “bunk” was kept out of the Record. Another wanted to know if the House didn't have as much right to put stuff in the Record as the Senate. And when he replied if his question- er wanted the country to have the same opinion of the House as it has of “some other legislative bodies,” it was all right with him, laughter and ap- plause were heard.
