Lmomne 5 'llA'l' You WANT FOR Imnme has an enviable D as a: -preventative colds Even bronchial yleld Iso its great production was put on by Director Naylor with all the care a road show ‘demands and the results are most sat- isfactory. “Finc Feathers,” like “Her Own Mone; Bought and Paid For,” and “Just a Woman,” deals with the temptations which confront the aver- age human being. It is the story of the havoc wrougit by a man who at- tains his- desires by cheating. The drama contains all the essen- tials which to make’ a thrilling story “with plenty hedrt interest,— a married couple very much in love with each other, the tempter, the' true friend, the tactless neighbor and, for comedy’s sake, the hired girl. The tempter has the upper hand from the moment hc enters the modest little bungalow of the married couple to the time when he leaves their beautiful suburban home, acquired through his. dishonest schemes, with the remark, “That lets me out.” This line is in: referemce, to a dangerous fix which he has squirmed out of. Rehearsals for the next offering, “A Gentleman of Leisure,” are pro- gressing so well that Director Naylor looks forward to an unusually suc- cessful presentation of the comedy. The play provided Douglas Fair- banks with the means of adding in- estimably to his reputation as one of the best comedians on the stage. Ralph Murphy in the Fairbanks’ role will be the feature of the presenta. tion , by the Walter Naylor Players. Lovers of good photo plays will not fail to see Alice Joyce in “Whom the Gods Destroy,” Sunday evening. Fads and*Fashions Chinese tassels are frequently used as a neck finish on-an odd dress. Some ot the new hats have what might be called the visor brims. Some. of thg very smartest suit skirts are narrow and short. The fashionable outline of the present is absolutely straight. . Belts are much worn and are never utilitarian, but ornamental. Brown and neutral toned boots will be worn With the spring frock. Simple afternoon dresses of wash silks are made up in sports styles.

Black beans are'excellent for squp. § Ammonia will help to femove blood stains Potatoes have much more food value than rice. Appleé marhalade is improved it flavored with lemon. i -Be sure that bluing wn.ter is al- ways perfectly clear. ' Very few people steam their vege- tables as often as they might; yet steamed vegetables are peculiarly palatible_and nutritious. Catfish will skin with ease if you pour boiling water over them. Do not pour cold water on to cool them, as it would set the skin again. If tomatoes are kept off the ground by tying them to a stake they will be more solid and will not go so much to water when they are canned, With coal going higher and higher the old-fashioned kerosene reading lamp may well be brought into use to Melp heat the family living room. Milk that has become slightly “turned” may be kept from curdling in the process of pudding making, by the addition of a pinch of carbonate of soda. A simple cream soap is made by adding half a cupful of sweet cream to a pint of boiling water. Season with butter, pepper and salt and serve with toasted croutons, Caulifiower is good served in this way: Boil it until tender, put it into a baking dish and cover it with grated cheese, pour over all a cream sauce and stand in the over to brown.

Hats and Shoes 683 MAIN STREEZ HARTFORD. SIDE_TALKS | CAMERON Flowers for Every Home . In a unique Boston school, founded to teach the science of homemaking, where the girls put their theories into practice in houses run by themselves, one of the tasks allotted is to keep flowers in the house on an allowance of fifty cents a week. They manage this in various ways. One girl bought blubs. Fifty cents buys ten narcissus blubs, these will fill two bowls with starry beauty and the blossoming lasts ten days. Decorating a House With Six Jonquils. Another girl whose term of office as the family flourist came in jon- quil time, bought half a dozen jon- quils twice a week. Four, of these with the green blades that come with them were put in a flower holder sub- merged in a bowl of water, and made a beautiful decoration for the dark dining table. The other two were ' placed in one flower vase on the liv- ing room mantel. The cléverest scheme was devhed‘ by a girl who was acquainted with | the woods in winter.- Two weeks be- fore her term of office she went out into the woods and came home with her arms full of what the other girls | called “bare twigs.” ~When her turn came to decorate she had two big bronze vases full of maples and wild quince and dogwood just breaking into blossom. She had put the bare twigs in water in the sunshine’ and ; they - had blossomed. If You Cannot Spare Fifty Cent.ur Of course there are many homes where fifty cents cannot be spared for flowers, especially in these days. But if one feels that flowers come too high, a dull green fern dish with an asparagus fern will give a refresh- ing touch of green to the dining table. One woman saves even the cost of a fern by planting in her fern dish a few grapefruit seeds which produce a very pretty little fern. Fine the Family for Leaving Things Out of Place. i In the home where there are seven wage earners it might be possible to persuade each of them to giye five or ten cents a week toward flowers in the house. In one home there is a little box into which each member of the family has to drop & penny when anything is left out of place. The proceeds are used in buys ing flowers for the dining table. The modern woman is coming to realize that her high position as home- maker imposos the obligation of try- ing to make the home. beautiful as well as comfortable. Surely she will be willing to make a little effort and sacrifice for the sake of having flow= ers, *‘the sweetest things God.: evep made and forgot to put a soul lnto" in her home. € ‘Musterole Gives Ddhbu: Comfort When those shia puungoihoofinfi through- your head, when vour sku seems. as if it would spht, yust rub a little.
