No matter how congenial and well -loved one's family inay be, a place all oleo's own is necessary to health and growth of soul. Lillian Moutagne, in the current is- sue of "Your Home Magazine," gives some useful advice on the problem of decorating a girl's room. "In planning a gir'l's room," she writes, "avoid the excitement of vivid red and the depressing effect of a pme- ponderance of purple, dull gray, brown or black. There is a quality in young girlhood which.responds to the delicate pastel coloring of spring. The faraway, misty blue of the sky, the. tender green of time opening leaves, the pale yellow of the early crocus, the faintly roseate tint of the arbutus. the pinkish lavender of the lilac --any. of these shades. used either singly or in combination to decorate the room of a jeune fille will awaken in her a quick response to the grace and beauty which they express. Painted walls are particularly desirable for bedrooms, because not only are they more sanitary but they may be easily and artistically tinted to harmonize with any color scheme you may se- lect. When the wails are finished, paint or enamel the trim the same color, or white if you prefer it, and paint or varnish the floor according to the wood: A floor treated this way is easy to care for and needs only one or two small rugs, "Where there is plenty of sunshine," continues the writer, "the cool quiet, but happy shades of green, lilac and blue are good background colors. And while blue may not be used alone, blue and gold, rose and blue, or or- chid and blue are effective combina- tions for the young girl's room. An especially lovely color scheme would be apricot and delphinium blue, the former in a very soft shade being used for the walls, and the latter to enamel the woodwork and , furniture. If a large rug is used, it should be a slightly deeper blue than the furni- ture. If small rag rugs—always ap- propriate for . a bedroom—are used, they may combine apricot, blue, or- chid, and black in subdued colors. This color scheme has a charm and: personality well suited to radiant youth." Color Cautions 1. No one person can wear all colors successfully. ' 2. The color and texture of tthe skin determines the color most suit- able for clothing. A person with an olive brunette skin, for example, can wear deep creams, bronze greens, deep dark red, even purple in some tones. If the skin is not flnein tex- ture these colors may still be worn, but they must he subdued and soften- ed, "grayed down" in other words, so that they do not contrast too strongly with the skin. A skin that is more pink than yellow can wear pastel colorings best of all. Such skins usu- ally have blue, hazel, or very clear brown eyes. They may have blond, hazel, white or black hair. A sallow skin can wear dark browns and black perhaps better than any other color. 3. Subdued or grayed colors are most becoming to large figure's. 4. Colors should be chosen to bring out the best features of the individual either the skin, the hair, or the eyes. If the skin is fine, you may wear satin, or velvet, or a non -transparent materi- al with a sheen, If the texture of your skin is coarse, georgette,. dull crepe, or crepe Elizabeth would be more be- coming. ' 5. Gayer colors may be worn more successfully by young girls, but the in- tense or pure colors should be avoid- ed since they are becoming to very few, 6. Bright colors, if carefully chosen, are quite suitable for sport clothes and evening gowns. 7.

"Because as soon as Leedon s tonight's papers, and found out w I was hiding, he made an excuse get out. I didn't know he'd seen papers or I'd never have let him I found the paper after he'd go And there's nothing I' could pro against him. And anyway, whether could or not, he'd gone out to give up.

And if I chose to perform that pleasurabl duty, the action meant the end of my security. For even though I pretend ed that I had killed Thomassen while he was burglarizing my apartment the police would inevitably ask me certain questions which I would not care to answer. "A sensible man knows 'when he's licked," said Thomassen. "You look sensible." "You expect me to hide you here while I'm waiting for Leedon to raise the money?" I demanded. The murderer shook his head. "I'm taking no chance like that. You'd be on the level. You'd have to be. But I'm going to get out of town tonight. Leedon isn't the only man that buys stolen goods. I want half of the jew- els themselves. Get out the box." "Do you think I keep them here?" I asked. "They're in a safe-deposit box downtown." "Go get them," he ordered. '4I'11 be waiting right here,", And now sheer wrath at his inso- lence, combined with horror at his crime, made me forgetful of his threat, of exposure—or if not forgetful, care- less. But Thomassen was not merely, intelligent; he was shrewd. The handl that was buried in his jacket pocket/ was withdrawn with a movement so' speedy that it put to shame my own! gift of legerdemain.

They come in battalions, regiments, companies, brigades; big ants, little ones, red ones, red and black ones, black ones —one and al) bent on destruction. In the woods are the mound build- ers, big red and black fellows, that excavate the earth and pile it up in heaps, grain by grain. Down below are thousands of them, mining. I see them comae out, each with a grain of sand in its mandibles, to drop somewhere away from the entrances. Along time walks are the black ants sawing wood, There is a pile of saw- dust alongside, and up in a beam of the pergola they are industriously digging in. Every morning I find z pile of sawdust on tbe porch floor, sometimes two or three 'inches deep, and I have watched a worker come to a small hole in the beam and drop -thing about this is that they treat their •captives, the larvae and pupae kindly, and bring them up in the way good ants should go to become mem- bers of the colony.
