rainbow. •
Just to prove it to myself I bought
a box of paints—six colors there*vvere,
thoee eof the rainboae But 'I could
have- done as well with three—the red,
the yellow and the blue,- • Those are
the primary colors, green, orange and
-purple are made ley mixing together
any two of the prisnanes. Yellow and
blue make green. Yellow • and red
make orange. Mix red with blue and
you have? purple.
Between each of the six • rainbow
colors there is another hue made of
equal parts of the color on either side.
So the six 'colors of the eainbeer are
increased to tWelve.
• NATURE'S DSE,OF COLOR.
Take the primary. and secondary
color families and see how nature uses
thestt. There is red, that hot, heavy
color ,with the power to warm a room
and the power to make it shrink. It
has a hidden quality too of stimulate
ing.action in those who live in it. Too
much red is dangerous. Red color is
like zed pepper--simportant, but to be
used sparingly. Spots of it splen-
did—the daring •flash of a redbird,
sliaming sumac., along the ridge of e.
hill, In a room spots of red bring out
other color schemes. Use it in books,
bowls, brocades, a lampshade or an
occasional 'piece of furniture.
Yellow is the color of daffodils and
laughter. It is the happiest color -of
the lot. You have seee pastures spot-
ted with clumps of yellow daisies that
seemed laughing in the sun. Used in
-touches yellow is an ideal tonic for
•dull rooms and rnorbid dispositions.
Blue is a cool, calm color, restful
and light -absorbing. Green is another
cool, light color with a touch of cheer.
No other colors but these -two could
be used without monotony in the wide
stretches of sky and water. But even
here there is a combination of tones.
Can you imagine water or sky one
never -changing hue? $o in our rooms
even restful colors cannot be used in
solid mass—they must be shaded with
light and dark �i' relieved by ,a com-
plementary scolor.
Orange, made of yellow And red,
has warmth, light -aria' gayness all
in one. It is the sunrise and the sun -
net. Nature uses it for brilliant-
eplashes against darker dolor masses.
Purple can be both hot and cold, in-
spiring or dignified. ,The wood violet
has the primness of a spinster, the
aster a dignity befitting, kings. It
never nods, but bows. Purple if used
in too large amounts is over -stately
for the little room.
When I choose a color scheme, I
first consider the purpose of my room.
As a general thing the farm livings
rocen takes more kindly to dignified
colors, restful to the eye. Dining -rooms
I like to be cheery spots giving a feel-
ing of hospitality. I-Iallsr,need inviting
colors, dignified like the living-roorn
but cordial with a mellow -warmth of
welcome. Bedrooms I find most rest-
ful done in the lighter color keys.
SELECT THE RIGHT SHADE.
Color can • make a ,room warm or
cold, dark or fight. Light vralls•maice
light rooms. Dark' walls -make dark
TOOIUS. For that cold north room or the
one overshaded-by trees use colors
'that ha '& warmth to c:give the ffect
of. sunehine. It can be done with a
backgrotied of warm ivory or tan and
with colors like rose or yellow in the
hangings. • For the room on the eolith
use cooler colors—backgrounels of pale
gray, cool {Very or grayish tan.
The very little room will broaden
with the right shado of color on its
walls, Strong dark colors make rooms
shrink, while dull light colors give
size.
If We take a tip from nature we will
never do a room in one color, with
-walls and floor and 'hangings all the
same. It is monotonous. The key
color is best when used with restraint.
Of course, every color mest be in tone
or „oomplement with every color. As
nature neutralizes; her- colors with
sunshine 'and mist so we cai use the
light and dark hues of the paint box.
Irt the large stretches a earth, sea
and, shy, nature uses restful colors --
brown, green, blue and gray. This is
he' background for the smaller mass-
es of more brilliant hues. The earth
is carpeted with the darkest tones,
rut as we 'Should carpet our homes.
'Pesky is the palest shede of all. So

to hold a pate of water, amp, clothes,

place to place and is a catch-all for
trash I gather in the course of my
cleaning.—Mrs. J. S. -
Matching fresh laundered curtains
is usually a time waster. But I have
found a remedy. • As I take down each
pair of curtains I mark them with
thread and needle—one pair with an
X the next with an 0, and so on to
the last window. If there is no up
or. down to the curtains the markings
go at the down end. When they are
rehung I turn them upside down, giv-
ing the sun a chance to wear them
the same all over.—Mrs. M. F.

of sealing wax and slowly pour into
this one gallon of kerosene, stirring
constantly until the mixture is cool
or begins to whiten. This is enough
polish for furniture, woodwork and

medium-sized home. To apply, use a
dry rag, poliphing after it has been
on two or three minutes. Keep the
mixture covered when not in use, as
kerosene readily evaporates. The
kerosene removes the gime, dust
while the wax leaves a beautiful lustre

• GOOD FROSTING FOR' CAKES.
An easily -made frosting for coffee
cakeserusk, buns -or other cakes raised
with east, consists of granulateal sugar
mixed with enough cinnamon -to pro-
duce a light -brown color. A grating
or two of nutmeg may be added, but
is not essential. '3uSt before putting
the cake, in the oven, spread the top
lightly with, heavy cream' and over
this sprinkle the sugar and spice.
When baked, the cake will he covered
with a delicious brown, sugary glaze.
For Graham Feasting mix one tea-
spoonful of graham flour with two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, and then mix
with senou-gh cream to make a paste
which willespread, but not run. Spread
this ev.er the freshly -baked cake and
•return to the oven for two or three
minutes. Me frosting should bubble
all over the surface but not burn. If
made with brown sugar a delicious
caramel frosting will result, while the
graham flour lends a nut -like flavor.
Cakes which have the" top' moistened
with cream alone have the fine, brown
glaze which Is so desirable for Duteh
cake. .
A cake frosting which is always a
success is made by boiling together
one cupful ofesugar, lour tablespoon-
fuls of water, one level teaspoonful of
cornstarch and one-quarter teaspoon -

while the mixture• is boiling, four tea-
spoonfuls' of sugar that has been
caramelized by browning, This will
produce a caramel froeting. For var-
iety add chopped nuts, raisins or
shredded cocoanut to the white frost-
ing, or make the frosting with brown
instead of white sugar. To make a
chocalate frosting add three teaspoon-
fuls of coeoa to the boiling mixture.

The Delphinium.
The modern delphinium, popularly
known as the hardy larkspur, is one
of the finest and most desirable of tall
garden flowers. In a favorable loca-
tion. and with reasonable care theenod-
ern varieties reach a height of from
five to six feet, presenting a charming
• effect particularly in the hardy border.
The colors of the delphinium run from
white through the blues and into the
purple shades with many variations
of amethyst tints. The individual
flower spikes of many of the varieties
aro a foot and a half in length and
have many side shoots that extend the
flowering season for several weeks.
When well grown it blooms freely in
July, and if cut down ithmediately
after blooming and given a little fer-
tilizer and well watered, a second
orop of bloom will appear in. the
autumn.
In cultivation it should be given al
deep and moderately enriched soil, anl
open sunny situation and sufficient'
space in which to properly develop,
itself. The plants, like many other'
perennials, should not be allowed toi
remain longer than three years in one;
place, but after that time it should:
be taken up, separated and replanted.'
This may be done either in spring,
just as the plants are starting into I
• growth, or during the fall months.
The delphinium suffers from the at-
tacks of slugs. , Protection agametr
damage(ofthis kind is secured by
placing 'a few handfuls of ceal ashes,
over the plant just as winter is corn-
ing on. In very exposed positions it!
is well also to lay a few evergreen
branches or other refuse over the;
plants on the arrival of winter. I
There are many species of the delel
phiniunt, including the delphinium,

the gardenetisto explore with full as-

in recent years, been greatly improved
by cross breeding and selection. Sonic

beauty include Morheirni, white;

Confidence in Canadian, Eggs.
The thirty odd millions of Canadian
hens producing upwards of two hun-
dred million dozens of eggs in a year
will have to increase and work harder
in the future than they have in the
past to meet the increasing demand
for good eggs. The consumption of
eggs in Canada has rapidly increased
in recent years, due to the adoption e
of the grading system. Twenty-five
years ago Canada's consumption of
eggs per capita was about fifteen doz-
ens in the year. Four years ago it
had risen' to twenty-one dozens and
last year to twenty-six dozen eggs per
head. This increase will surely con-
tinue as housevvives become familiar
with the standard grades, and the as-
surance that grading gives to those
who do the purchasing for the family
table, Nor will the increased demand
for Canadian eggs, as their merits be-
come known through systematic grad-
ing, besehnfined to Canada, because as
was shown before the Agricultural
Committee of the Heine 0.f Commons,
Great Britain is learning of the ex-
cellence of Canadian egge and taking
more and more of them_ for their best
trade. The United States, it was
stated, is adopting the Canadian
standard of classification which it is
believed will have the same effeet hi
that great tepublic as it has in Canada
of increasing the annual consumption
of some sixteen or seventeen dozens
per capita, to a higher consumption
year by year. This, in the opinion of
Me. W. A. Brown, Chief of the Poul.
try Division of the Live Stock 13ranch,
will lead to a great demand fax Cans
