' Comfort and convenience are the first things to,. think of in furnishing a room. And it's surprising some- times to find out how much the color of the walls, the floor, the ceiling, or eurtians have to do with it.'' No room in your house is entirely successful unless the family loves it, and each time they go into it feel its cheerful hominess and attractiveness. But these qualities are not a matter of sheer luck. They come with "know how." And a little knowledge of what to do under - certain circumstances. comes In mighty handy to the house- wife. The short articles here can give only a few of these practical points, but the author hopes that you will feel free to cone to her with your own particular problems and questions, and she will be only too glad to do all she can to help answer them. For to -day just a word aboiit the color of your walls. Walls are the most important single element in the room. They set the' light, and the room is dark and gloomy or gay, plea- sant, and cheerful, according to what goes on those walls. Color is the first thing to look for. Light papers make dark rooms. Useful, when you con- sider that dark, narrow hall, small dining -room, or large comfortable living -room a little too generously shaded by trees, porch, or outbuild- ings. If we know, we don't make mis- I takes. We put on a light paper and make sure that it is "a color which has a lot of yellow in it -light yellow brown, tan, ivory, or buff—for yellow is 'a: `natural reflector of light, and there's nothing that will do the work as well. Remember, the wall is al- ways acting like the reflector of a lamp; it is catching and throwing back into the room every'scrap of light i theindoorand that. comes n at , you w increase or decrease this according to the color of the reflector. Sometimes the room is exceedingly bright and sunny, almost a glare. Then use the darker, duller papers— the softer grays, the greens, or blues. Avoid the ' yellows, and the bright, light colors. Greens, blues, and reds all absorb light. Never use them where the room is small or has the slightest tendency to dullness or gloominess. Keep them for bright, airy, sunny places. ' One more point: Ceilings and floors are also a part of your "reflector." Match them carefully to your walls, keeping the ceiling lighter and the floor a little darker than the wall color. Then we retain the comfort- able feeling of openness above, like the sky out of doors; and of solidity underneath, like the ground; and we have a comfortable range of color which goes far toward making an attractive room. FOR COLD DRINKS. Iced to and lemonade r a s rd e nunade be ved at ny house are always welcomed with especial delight, and they are good— particularly so—all because of a lit- tle secret in their preparation. I keep at jar of sugar and water syrup in the ice box and - use this to sweeten' the tea or any iced beverage,' instead of adding the sugar when it is made. When I am working about the kit- chen I boil a cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water.until it makes a syrup. If a pinch of "cream of tartar is added it will not crystallize, no matter how long it is kept. Some- times 'I toss in a few mint leaves just before I take'it off the stove. One will find this syrup more econonnical than the plain . sugar, for it' cannot sink to ,the bottom of the pitcher or glass and remain unused. It will also make_a smooth, delightful treat of the plainest beverage. Dusty h rids.are gr; > l ®cYFzeFs Everywhere, every day, the hands are touching things covered with dust.

The cakes made by these recipes will perhaps be somewhat different from those usually made on baking. day. The slight difference in either flavor or texture will be found very agreeable, especially at this time of the year when the appetite craves something new. To obtain the best results, use pastry flour for 'all cakes made with baking powder. Date and Nut Cake is delicious. It requires one cupful of flour, one cup- finof, sugar,cupfulPP one of chopped nut meats, one cupful of dates cut in very small pieces, three eggs, one tea- spoonful of baking powder. Beat whites of eggs and yolks separately, add half the sugar to each and beat again. Combine mixtures and add flour, baking powder, nuts and dates, Pour in shallow pan and bake in moderate oven.

It 'was that for which she was fighting, Anne. And I would not let her know the truth. I would not let her know the worst. ,I tortured her, and she did not even know that I was the torturer.

PRACTICE PRF..!,* AILED FOR 200 YEA. " Newfoundland Goveriintnent Protects Herds by Limiting 1 Hunt ' to One Per Year. In the begining of the month of March, after a practieo which has... Pre- vaileci for nearly two bund,^ed years,, and accompanied' by the elaborate ceremonial- which leas become tradi— tional, radi<doral, the N'ew1'ounciland sealing fleet. ,left the Dort of St. John's for the Batiks an its annual expedition. The sturdy craft from the ,-Newtoundland Port were'; joined' by ,others from. St,' John, ° New Brunswick, and Halifax,. Nova Scotia, and •altogether some ten vessels set out to engage in the 1924 hunt, The sealing industry, exploiting the rich resource lying off the coasts of the island'," is one of Ilio' most ancient .. of the economic activities of New- founclland, originating in the year 1763, when the first expedition to the Banks took place. The commence- ment was on a very small and desul-.; tory scale, and for seine years the an- nual catch did ' not exceed three or four thousand shins per season: With the increasing demand for oil and skins, however, the industry grew, ant more and more men and vessels caine to engage exclusively in it. By the beginning of the nineteenth century the annual. catch • exceeded : 60,004 skins, The Growth of the, Industry. Of late years, due to the heavy toll exacted and the indiscriminate killing engaged in, the seal catch of New- foundland has fallen off somewhat.. The industry is, in fact, in the process of ,`being intelligently .built, up again at the present time under the• conser- vative spuper'vision of the Newfound- land Government. In the old days a single r, vessel has brought into St. John's a catch of 42,000 skins, and a total of nearly 700,000 seals have been taken by the entire Neh'foundland fleet in a single season. As recently' as 1908, the catch numbered 213,863 seals, and that of the following year 269,320. The total catch in 1922 and 1923 was in the neighborhood of 127,- 000, worth about $200,000.' 'That of the present year . is expected to be worth .a little more. In line with every other phase of continental life, the sealing excursion, from Newfoundland has been con- siderably modernized. The vessels engaged in the chase betaine larger and larger each year until they were almost entirely superseded by fast steamers, which not only 'facilitated the methods -of the Mint but rendered it less arduous and hazardous. To- day, though there are a few sailing vessels in the expedition, the stammer is the most important factor and ac- counts for flve-sixtlis 0! -the., catch. Even so the dangers attendant upon the•annual visit to the ice noes have by no means been entirely eliminated,: and it is no uncommon occurrence for a vessel to return to port with its cree depleted. The Introduction of the Aeroplane. In the past few years the annual ex- pedition has been further brought up to date by the introduction of the aero- plane into its work. Previously the locating of the seal herds was done by men in the rigging of the ships, with a range of vision' naturally limited., The plane now does this "spotting" for the fleet, having a visionary range of fifty miles, • This machine has proved invaluable not only in locating the schools, but in assisting in finding the bundles of skins at the end of the season which have been left on'the`Ice- breaks as the hunters .proceed north- wards. The Newfoundland Government at • the present time • is endeavoring to once more build up the seal herds; and affording thein a manner of protection. One method of doing this is limiting the hunt to one expedition per year. Once the fleet r'eturns to port, no mat ter what the extent of the catch, it; never sots out a second time,: in the same year, but waits until the follow- ing spring. This spring excursion has become traditional in point of time and ceremonial, and each March the hardy fisher folk of the island set out, just as their forefathers have done for nearly two hundred years back, to en- gage -in the hazards of taking toll, of the northern ice floes.
