The cool colors, such • as greens, blues, grays and combina- tions of these appear to better advan- tage in rooms where the, sun is a fre- quent visitor. More brilliant color can he used, out of doors than inside the house where it is shut in with us. Bright color is too exciting and causes unconsciously nervousness, strain and fatigue. No matter on what scale a house is furnished, one of its aims should he restfulness. The mistake so many people make • ia• in thinking that red is cheerful and a good color to use in a dark room. On the contrary, red absorbs the light, makes a room smaller than it really is, causes ugly, gloomy shadows in the corners, and at night, under the electric light, seems to turn into a murky red-black—a color for murder- ous thoughts and deeds! Besides, this color is a severe strain on the eyes, and many a red living room is the cause of seemingly unaccountable • headaches.

KEEP YOUR MACHINE FIT. "Give your sewing machine a chance to save you work," is the ad- vice of Miss Hazel Manning. The spring sewing will be naore easily done if the sewing -machine is in shape. The equipment for the upkeep of the machine may consist of: cleaning cloths, a can of the best grade oil, a • brush t free the "feed" from line, a screw ifiiver, a wrench, and an inex- pensive strap -cutter and punch to re- pair the "belt." • "Oil can make or mar your ma- aejaine," says MiSs Manning. "Poor oil !save a tendency to gum and to make it run hard, The gummy substance can -be removed hest by dropping a little alcohol into the oil holes and running the machine for a short time unthreaded, A reliable oil should then be used. Ordinarily, once a month is often enough for oiling, but a machine that is in constant use should be oiled sparingly every day. It is the quality, not the quantity, of oil that is import -1 ant," she declares. cleaning, silk or linen cloths are preferable to those of cotton or woolen titi the latter leave loose threads and lint on the machine. Always close the machine when through tieing it. Dust tends to col- lect in the oil and causes the machine 'to work very hard and even to squeak. In such cases, remove the head of the machine -from its table and soak for twenty-four hours in kerosene. At the end of this time it should be wiped thoroughly, replaced, and oiled. Poor stitehing may be due to difs ferent causes. .Ski -stitching," de- clares Miss Manning, "may mean that the needle is too flne for the thread, is bent, or is incorrectly threaded or set, If the stitch underneath is poor, it means that the top tension noeds ad- justing. If the stitctbing on top is not satisfactory, the bottom tension is at fault.

Peters had heard a noise, had thought that it might be a burglar, and had gone downstairs to see what I was going on.

It induced a number of firms, of its membership, to be repre sented In exhibits, • and in addition, several individual business houses, fol- lowing its lead, organized their separ- • ate exhibits. The entire representa- tion of British industries constituted. , • • • a comparatively small exhibit, but It • -was in the nature of an experiment, or rather, it would be more exact to say that the • leaders of the Federation. were content to let it go as a small' exhibit ,to prove the value of such and. permit it to grow with future years. A lengthy and comprehensive re-. port published by the Federation testi- fies to the outstanding and unqualified success from the British 'exhibitors' point of view. The Federation, as an organization seeking the best interests of British manufacturers and -the de- velopment of Enipire ,markets, is en- tirely satisfied with the results achieved, and individual exhibitors are enthusiastic over the aUCOeSS Of their` single representatns. The. opinion is unanimous that consider- able advantageous, trade may be de veloped by this means. The Benefits of the Exhibits. The benefits of the representation Of British industries have been many and varied in the view of the Federation. The exhibits were viewed by at least a quarter of a million, people and elicited a more than ordinary public interest. Trade inquiries were nutner, ous, and nearly all exhibitors reps.& sented on the ground reported orders and inquiries of the greatest import- ance. The decisioia was general among 13ritiSh rr.anufacturers that there were wide possibilities of ex- tending trade with Canada, a situation of which inany of them had previously been entirely ignorant. The whole report is a pleasing testi- mony to the great value of the Cana- dian National Exhibition as a trade medium. It styles it unique, and dif- ferent from exhibitions held else- where. It. emphasizes the fact that it is the largest annual exhibition_ in thc. world, and the difficulty, those unfaa miller with the country or the exhibi- tion, to realize this and lust -what it means. It stresses particularly the growing international chara.cter of the Canadian exhibition, the representa- tion from the -United States, France,' • Cuba, and ,Alexico, and bell:le-a out, as a striking fact, that a conservative es- timate places the total number of ITnitedaStates visitors to the exhibi- tion at over 200,000..and that on one single afternoon 8,500 American auto- mobiles were parked in the exhibition grounds. It was with the utmost gratifiCation that Canada, saw the first concerted re- presentation of British nia.nufacturers at her national exhibition, and the Do- minion is naturally further grattled to learn of the unquestioned CCeSS of this first showing, because 'Laotians a greater and more adequate representa- tion this year and in future years. "This exhibition," said one British manufacturer, "is without doubt AD 'eye opener' as to the enormous trade that can be done In Canada provided. the merchandise Is good and at the right price," and the report concludes with the Federation's hope that the section so well begun cOntinuo as a permanent and valuable part of the exhibition's further developm en t.
