N. “I have brilliant red hair, which I arrange partly on one side and fastened in a small knot at the back. Most people admire but I like to dress in- conspicu 50 as not to draw undue attention to my brilliant locks. Would you advise black? and blue?” Black is usually becoming to red- haired girls, though if the skin is in- clined to be sallow only transparent black should be worn next ‘the skin and the softening effect of cream or light ecru is_desirable. ‘Taupe and rich dark brown are wsually more becoming than the me- dium “or light tones of brown and greenish yellow. Pink, when womn, should be of light pastel tone, and flame color or vibrant rose tints should be_avoided. Light blue is usually trying, but navy blue of a dark shade and turquoise blue are usually good. For the clear-skinned red-haired girl pure white is usually most suitable, otherwise off shades, such as egg-shell or light maize and cream, are pref- erable. While the brighter violet tones cer- tainly emphasize the blueness of the eyes they usually strike too violent a note with the hair tones. DAILY DIET RECIPE STRAWBERRY BUTTER SAUCE.

Since there is nothing in the world more desirable in social relations than the atmosphere of a home in which love prevails, heads of the family should use every endeavor to secure and hold this cherished atmosphere.

BEDTIME STORIES Brown's Boy Startled. Doubt if you must, but always find A way to keep an open mind. —Old Mother Nature. That which seems impossible is always hard to believe, yet the seem- ing impossible often proves to be pos- sible, to the confusion of the one who refuses to believe. Farmer Brown's Boy found this out in rather a startling way. The Horned Lizards, which are commonly called Horned Toads, had interested him a t deal because they were such odd little fellows, and for the most part good-natured. He had caught several of them when first he came to the desert, and had them for pets. He had discovered that there Were Tike ‘the one whot "“uflm" sintancs e the one whose ce Flip had made, but one day he caught one who was quite different. The little horns, or points, on his head were smaller, and he was of a different color. It was the Mexican Horned Lizard, and Farmer Brqwn's Boy called him Mexy. notlosa Farmer Browns.

Of course, I know I'm green out in this country and have got a lot to learn, but you can’t make me swallow any such yarn as that.” The man laughed good-naturedly. “That’s all right,” said he, “but when m"gfl shot remember that I warned That very afternoon Farmer Brown's Boy was again playing with his pets and them. Mexy was feeling out of sorts. He didn't like being handled. He wanted to be let alone. Of course, he couldn't say so, but he did his best to show that he didn’t Jike it. Farmer Brown's Boy didn't notice that Mexy was rather peeved, and kept right on playing with him. And then Farmer Brown’s Boy was startled by a most amazing thing. “ It would have startled almost any one.

His eyes beg:‘n to bulge out, as if they e forced out of his head, and a fine stream of blood shot out, appar- ently from a swollen eyelid, and struck Farmer- Brown’s Boy. - Even though he had seen this astonishing per. formance, he couldn’t believe it unt he glanced down and discovered that his white shirt was thickly spi with tiny blood spots. & "“ stars!” he exclaimed. “He did 0 t1” Give Fresh New Color To Any Faded Fabric ® Easily, Quickly and Perfectly with Tintex!

After this I'll believe anything. Look at Mexy now. His eyes have gone back where they belong and he has them shut tight. Sure enough, Mexy's eyes were tight- ly closed, and he wouldn't open them.

Making House Cheerful 'WEHETHER the sun shines or not, there is an atmosphere of gayety and warmth in the American home to- s}‘:l}; Present furniture fashions dictate American women have the force td demand what they want and get it They are the style setters in fact if not in name. The or style creators in these days feel the pul and study the public mind before they give their diagnosis of what furnish- | fin; ings or home surroundings will create & better feeling. Americans want an atmosphere of warmth and gayety, and they are get- ting it, of course. Much of the guessing and speculating has been removed from the creators’ offerings, caution is being used, and the production blunders are diminishing. ‘The demand for cheerfulness in home furnishings has been one of the rea- sons for the popularity of early Amer- ican pleces. The ease with which early American lends itself to the acces- sories and companion fu: ings ac- counts for its rise to height in pub! demand. ‘The warmth of the wood itself, maple, demands harmonious and cheerful sur- roundings. Hooked rugs on.the floor have life and are appropriate for the early American. Gay-colored draperies and curtains give the proper treatment for the windows, and the lamps, book- ends, ash trays and other accessories must be in keeping with the spirit. Prench provincial, which takes some- what the same treatment as early American, has made rapid strides for- ward, and word from both producers and distributors is to the effect that the demand for it is increasing. Beech, chestnut and oak, which has a gray ish, are woods used in the French provincial. The fabrics used with it may be a bit deeper in hue than those used with the early American, but neyertheless bright and cheerful. Early English and Duncan Phyfe, Sheraton, 3 leen Anne and reproductions of works of old mas- ters are with us and will be, it seems, forever more. The beauty of walnut, mahogany and oak used in reproduc- tions—three of the leading woods used in furniture of the day—will keep them always in the American home. The charm, grace and beauty of line and reproductions are such that they have held their place down through the ages. —— e China rly 140, nlflwrmw 140,000 Swiss NOW YOU CAN HAVE IT . \ J Your dealer can now supply you with both kinds of Dan Dee—the fragrant, wholesome, fine textured Bread that is served daily in thousands of Washington homes.
