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 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 come to her with your own i particular problems and questions,; and she will be only too glad to do all, she can to help answer them. For to -clay just a word about 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- 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 Mice the reflector of a lamp; it is catching and throwing back into the room every scrap of light that comes in at the window, and you 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.

Iced tea and lemonade served at my house are always welcomed with especial delight, and they are good— particularly so—all because of a lit- tle secretin their preparation. I keep a 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 economical 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. A VERY ATTRACTIVE STYLE. ♦r. e Hi den "No, no—I'in ashamed of whet I've done already. 1 cannot sink any low ar, Anne, dear.

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 he found very agreeable, especially at this time of the year when the appetite craves something new. To obtain the b'est results, use pastry flour for alI cakes made with baking powder. Date and Nut Cake is delicious. It requires one cupful of flour, one cup- ful of sugar, ono cupful 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.

"Oh well, my dear. It would simp- ly mean—the social ruin. Whoever heard of a Judge of the High Court running off with any woman. And—" "Ah, you've accepted the offer?" she interrupted. "Yes, but that's nothing to do with the matter. A barrister with a large practice—and a woman in your posi- tion, Anne? Oh no—that would be impossible." "But, Alec, dear—you told me that you were going to divorce your wife. Hasn't that been your idea all along? When you learnt the truth about your wife and Merrington—" "Yes, Anne," he interrupted. "It was not until then that—that you meant anything to me. I was in love with my wife, Anne, And when she came back to the house that night— the night she was supposed to have been at the theatre—I thought I would make another effort to win her love. You see, my dear Anne, Ruth had never loved me at all. Oh, need you tell me all this and coat. That roused your suspi- cions. You made inquiries. You watched your wife whenever you men-- tioned Merrington''e name. Then ono evening you met 'Bobby Garwick at your club, and he described the wo- man who had come up in the train with us. Your suspicion became a certainty. 'Your love changed to hat- red. Then you met me, Alec. You. asked me to call on your wife, and I did not recognize. her. But afterwards, when you told me' .what Bobby had said, I did recognize her. We fell in love with each other,. Alec—you and I—and that is all that matters now." "Not all, Anne dear. I want you to see me just as I am—just as I have been and still am. I want you to understand the kind of roan you love. I have stooped very low—horribly low =in this business, Anne. I had enough evidence, and to -spare, against my wife. But I was not content with that. I took any wife to see Trehorn, and I saw the look of recognition in the servant's eyes as the door was opened to us. Fletcher became a nec- essity to me, and I doubled her wages and gave her a present of a thousand pounds to hold her tongue and watch ray wife. Not a.very creditable trans- action, was it, for a pian hi niy po- sition?" "At any rate you kept her shame from others, Alec. I wish you would not accuse yourself like this. It—it. frightens me." i"I have worse to tell you yet," Alex- , ander Bradney continued. I have lcept you out of this, Anne dear. There Lis nothing that you need be ashamed of. You saw me as .a husband be- trayed by his wife—es a man who had "loved his wife and had been betrayed by her. But you have not seen the 'other side of the picture—a repentant iwoman anxious to atone for her sins 1—anxious to do her duty to her bus- ! band, even though she did not love him. I saw all this and told you no- thing about it, Anne. Nor did I tell I you how I tortured her—with the tor- ' ture of suspense. Always she was afraid. She Lived a life of terror. And would she have been afraid, Anne, un- less she had decided never to see Mar- rington again? Why should she have 'been afraid unless she had wanted to live on friendly terms with me—a life 1of quiet happiness, without love, per- haps, but with friendship and mutual respect. It was that for which she she would not .yield to' Me entreaties. • "Then. it comes to this, Alec," she said tit last. "We must say good-bye to each :other,—now and for ever. "Perhaps not for ever" he said slowl , "`perhaps—Anne, dear -Anne —where are you?—I cannot see you— where are you? Why have you put out the lights?"

Premium Coffee Cake is so called because cakes made by this recipe have taken premiums at the county fairs for years: To make, beat one egg with one scant cupful of sugar until creamy. Set aside one table- spoonful of the mixture to be used later. Now add one cupful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one-half cupful of shortening (use less if sour cream is used) and three cupfuls of sifted flour. Mix, then pour in a round pan and as soon as taken from oven spread the top with the remaining egg and sugar mixture, to which a little cinnamon should be added. Cup Cake, the best ever made: Sift three cupfuls of flour with two tea- spoonfuls of baking powder six or seven times, then work together thor- oughly two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of butter. Drop in (beating all the time) the yolks of four eggs, one at a time, and add alternately a little at a time, a cupful of milk, and the flour, working in each as it is added. Fold in the beaten whites of the eggs. Bake in a moderate oven. The excellence of this cake is due to the thorough mixing of the ingredi- ents. This Fudge -Cake is a favorite tea- room specialty. To make: Cream one-quarter of a cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar until very light; stir in one well -beaten` egg, one- quarted teaspoonful of salt, and two cupfuls of tour alternately with seven -eighths, of a cupful of cold water. Then add two ounces of melt- ed chocolate and one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Sift hi two level tea- spoonfuls of baking' powder and mix thoroughly.

She put things down to her imagination, Oh, I could read her mind well enough. It is my job to read the minds of those who are in distress. Would you care to trust your life to a man who could behave like that to a helpless woman?' "Yes," she said, "yes—a thousand times yes." He smiled grimly. "The worst is yet to come," he continued. "My wife had decided to have nothing more to do with Merrington. I purposely— devilishly threw them together again, and in the same circumstances that had made them fall in love with each other before. I wanted to be free, and I saw this vibe way to free- dom. I did all in my power to get rid of my wife—not openly by telling her that I wanted to marry another woman, but secretly, so that she should take the first step—so that she should be in the wrong. I arranged for MerrIngton to paint another por- trait of my wife. And even in this I failed, She was too strong for me— too strong in her purity and her sense of duty. Love, I think, cane back to her—more intense love than she had ever known before. But she -would :not yield to it. She pretended to be ill, and would give Merrington no more sittings. Anne dear, would you care to trust yourself to a man who could sink so low as that?" Lady Anne rose from her chair. Her lips • were trembling and there were tears in her eyes. "You talk as though—as though you did not love me," she said nerv- ously. "Alec—I believe you are still in love with your wife." "I am not," he answered quietly, "I am in love with you, Anne." "No, you are in love with your wife or you would not defend her— put her case so clearly—accuse your- self—accuse both of us. You might be fighting a case in the Courts—it is as though she had briefed you to de- fend her." "You are talking nonsense, Anne. I have to be just—even to my own wife."

Newfoundland Government Protects' Herds by limiting Hunt to One' Per Year. In' the begining of the month. of March, after a practice which has pre- vailed for nearly two hundred years, and ,accompanied by the elaborate ceremonial ,which has become tradi- tional, the Newfoundland sealing fleet left the port of St. John's for the Banks on its annual expedition. The sturdy craft from the Newfoundland 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 the most ancient of the economic activities of New- foundland, .originating in the year 1763, when the first expedition to the Banks took place. The cominence- indut was on. a very small and demi- tors', scale, and for some years the an- nual catch diel not exceed three or four thousand skins per season, With the increasing demaiui foroil and skins, however, the industry grew, and More and more nen stud vessels ;came to engage exclusively' in it. By the beginning of the nineteenth century the annual catch exceeded 60,000 skins. 'The Growth of the Industry. Of late years, due to the heavy bolt exacted and the indiscriminate lulling engaged in, the seal catch of New- foundland has fallen off somewhat. The industry is, in tact, in the process of being intelligently built 'lip again at the present time under the conser- vative spupervision of the Newfound- land Government. In the old hays a singlervessel has brought into St. John's a catch of 42,000 ricins, and a total of nearly 700,000 seals have been taken by 'the entire Newfoundland 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 mare. In line with every other please of continental life; the sealing excursion from Newfoundland has been con- siderably modernized. The vessels engaged in the chase became larger and larger each year until they were almost entirely superseded by fast steamers, which not only facilitated the methods of the hunt but rendered it less arduous and. hazardous. To- day, though there are a Sew sailing vessels In the expedition, the stainer is the most important factor and ac- counts for five -sixths of the catch. Even so the dangers attendant upon the annual visit to the ice floes have by no means been entirely eliminated, and itis no uncommon occurrence for a vessel to return to port with its crew depleted. The Introduction of the Aeroplane. In the past few years the ,annual ex- pedition has bean 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. Tire 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 them a manner of protection. One method of doing this is limiting the hunt to one expedition per year. Once the fleet returns to port, no mat- tier what the extent of the catch, it. never sets 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 attd ceremonial, and each Marolt the hardy,fisher folk of the island set out, just as `.their forefathers have done for nearly Iwoahundred years back, to en- gage in the 'hazards of taking toll of the northern ice floes.
