White hands of winter
Fragile as anew,
Down through the meadows
Eerily go,
Tucking the roses
Warmly to sleep,
Teaching the rivers
Mutely to creep.

Of crystal and glass.

Hushing the riot
Of fall with their breath;

valuable pointers.

covered wing chair in a rather dark
corner, "when cushions have been so

It has been demonstrated again and
again that when a note of black is
introduced into a room everything

so easily obtained in cushions."
I thought that was most interesting,
and I asked her all manner of ques-
tions about interior decorating. I ask-
ed her what else one could use to
brighten up a dull room.
Of course there were lamps. If a
corner is dark it teems that nothing
brightens it up better than a brilliant
lamp shade. The Chinese ones that
she showed mewere lovely on the lac-
quered lamps; the parchment shades
were done in any color and style; but
the ones that interested me most were
the bright, gay plaited ones made
from wall paper or glazed chintz.
Then it seems that candlesticks are
)Dade in every color of the rainbow

match any one of them.
In looking about I saw scrap bas-
kets, desk sets, ash trays, painted box-
es, flower bowls -all in gorgeous color-

Pictures are framed, too, so they
furnish a note of color in a' room. I
had always thought of picture frames
as either gilt or some dark wood. Not
so: They are vivid scarlet, soft green,

COLOR IN THE HOME.
We do not use enough color in our
homes. Many sitting -rooms, dining
room and kitchens though they are
furnished in perfect taste as far as
they go, lack a certain gayety and
sparkle that a splash of color in the
right place gives., I realized this
when I visited a model home in the

Put one and one-half cups of molas-
ses and three-fourths of a cup of
sugar into a saucepan; boil it until
the syrup forms a hard bail when test-
ed in cold water. Add three-fourths
of a cup of butter and continue boiling
the syrup until the "cracking point"
is reached; then remove it from the
fire at once. Beat in a pinch of bak-
ing soda arid add one-half pound of
fine chopped figs and dates, or figs and,
dates in equal proportion, one cup each!
of coarse chopped pecan, filbert and
walnut meats and one-half cup of
blanched, shredded almonds. Pour that
mixture into an oiled pan and keep
it in a cool place overnight. If you
wish, add a tsp. each of almond and

the candy into the pan.
A FAREWELL PARTY.
What kind of party can we give for

A Parcel -Post Party could be made
interesting. In your invitations, say
that parcel -post mail for tbe East will
be collected at a certain hour, day and
place. Ask the guests to bring pack-
ages in person, the packages to be
properly wrapped, tied and addressed.
These packages could contain joke
gifts forthe guest of honor, but one
of the gifts might be a small address
book in which each member of the
club should write her name and post -
office address. The guests could play
games and, just before refreshments
are served, the packages could be de-
livered to the person you wish to
honor, who could then open them.
To seat guests at the refreshment
table, use picture post -cards for the
place -cards; or you could pack the re-
freshments in boxes of uniform size,
wrap and address as for parcel post
and stamp with used postage stamps.
Have some one carry the boxes to the
front door, then knock or ring, and
the hostess could answer and bring in
the boxes, announcing that a package
for each guest had just come by parcel
post.
Ask guests to adjourn to the dining -
room, where coffee should be served,

through the marriage of an earlier
James to a Tudor princess. Six
Stuarts were crownee sovereigns of
Scotland and England. Of these, ono,
Charles I., was executed; another,
James II„ was driven into exile; a
third, Mary, ruled jointly with her hus-

of the sixth, Queen Anne, the throne

During this queen's lifetime Scot-

who. fulfilled both these conditions
