FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Spotlessness may do for angels—repent-
ance unto life is the highest that belongs
to men.—F. W. Robertson.
“We stained this floor ourselves,”
said the man of the house, who was
showing an old friend over the new
bungalow in the country. “Yes, we
have done a lot of the work on this
house; we liked to have a hand in its
building ourselves. Then, too, we
like to experiment and we knew the
effect that we were after. Now, it
was not a bit difficult, doing this floor.
‘We wanted a certain shade of brown.
So we bought a gallon of green wal-
nuts, bruised them well and covered
them with a gallon and a half of
water. We let this stand over night;
then, the next day, we strained it and
added 5 cent’s worth of permanga-
nate of potash to it. When this was
thoroughly dissolved, we got out our
paint brushes and set to work. We
just painted the floor with it. When
it was dry, we went over it with a
good oil filler and rubbed it in as hard
as we could. That is how we got this |
We gave |
lovely reddish brown tint.
it a coat of shellac, too, which hard-
ened the finish and makes it easier to
keep it clean; also it prevents splin-
tering, we are told.
“We experimented with the plaster-
ing, too. We did not want glaring
white walls, but the workmen sai
that we must have them unless we
were to cover them over with paper.
We did not want paper, either. When
they brought in their pails of white
plastering stuff, we said nothing, but
calmly turned a lot of yellow ochre
into them. The men were much an-
noyed at first, and were quite certain
that we had ruined our walls. In
fact, I will confess that we had ser-
ious misgivings ourselves, when we
saw the results of our experiments. |
But we decided to wait awhile and see |
what would happen. This room is
sunny and airy, as you see, and, sure
enough, it wasn’t long before the dis-
agreeable aggressiveness and
ness wore off. Now we are enjoying
the soft warm brown tones of the
wall, even if there are occasional
shadows on it, where our coloring
matter did not get mixed in well
enough. It is certainly an improve-
ment on the glaring white walls those
workmen wanted to inflict upon us.
Don’t you think so? When you get
ready to build your bungalow,” he
added smilingly to the caller, “just
come over here and we will tell you
about all our experiments and help
you all we can.”
Motor women are showing a decid-
ed preference for silk and satin
frocks. There was a time when a
motor frock of silk or satin was not
looked upon with favor by the motor-
ist, as they were not considered prac-
tical or serviceable; but with the won-
derful materials of this character be-
ing given us by the American manu-'
facturer, there need be no feeling of
this kind in the future. The new
models for motor frocks are of the
simple and graceful afternoon type
of frock, not so dressy as the dinner
frock, and yet have a smart appear-
ance which makes them quite appro- |
priate for almost any informal occa-
sion.
Satins, tricollettes, tricotines, serg-
es and the various new and charming
silks are all high in popular favor.
The newest silks for motor wear are
of rough weave and beautiful color |

and wool mixtures that are particu-
larly attractive and have the added
advantage of giving a little extra
warmth. A henna-colored jersey mo-
tor frock of fabric so fine that it re-
sembles cloth, is designed in coat ef-
fect with a box-pleated tunic and each |
seam is faggoted in heavy black silk.
Another interesting model is a Copen-
hagen blue heavy crepe of silk and
wool which has an overbodice of very
fine jersey in navy blue. It is trim-
med with soutache and tiny metal
buttons and there is a girdle of Vie-
tory red ribbon half hidden under the
loosely hung tunic.
Motor millinery in great variety is
shown. The French models appear
largely in brown of various shades.
The fabric hats are high in favor and | $600
there are many very delectable mod-
els from which to make a selection.
A Hindoo draped turban is very chic
and is made of chiffon cloth or the
soft voiles. The material is laid in
little folds for the entire brim and the
crown is made of braided natural raf-
fia with little straw flowers all around
the crown. Crash linen is to be us
largely and will be combined with a«
contrasting colored satin and trim-
mings of novel metallic flower clus-
ters. Some very new cotton ribbons
are to be used extensively on motor
millinery.
Short sleeves in frocks of silk and
wool are an innovation in fashions
this spring, and the lengths vary to
half way between the elbow and wrist.
Madame Talbot presents some love-
ly all-taffeta hats, the under brims
faced with straw and straw embroi-
dery as the only trimming.
The Directoire note, as earlier re-
ported, still continues to be in evidence
both in garments and millinery de-
signed in Paris.
Ribbon is the only form of trim-
ming seen on many of the Paris-de-
signed hats, and there are also many A NE
hats made entirely of ribbon.
Half-length and three-quarter-
length coats with plain straight in-
step-length skirts are the lines adopt-
ed by several of the big Parisian de-
signers for their spring suits of cloth.
Waistcoats of white organdie made
without collars are a smart detail of
combination suits of cloth skirts and
taffeta or velvet jackets.
Many afternoon dresses have round
necks, some finished with flat collars,
others with pipings or cordings of
bright-colored satin. This same fin-
ish completes the elbow or three-

Wood Compared With Coal.
In heating value one standard cord
of well-seasoned hickory, oak, beech,
birch, hard maple, ash, elm, locust, or
cherry wood is approximately equal
to one ton (2,000 pounds) of anthra-
cite or hard coal. However, a cord
and a half of soft maple and two
cords of cedar, poplar, or basswood
are required to give the same amount
of heat. One cord of mixed wood,
well seasoned, equals in heating value
at least one ton of average grade bi-
tuminous or soft coal.

Cicada or Locust.
Fruit growers should not be great-
ly alarmed over the appearance this
summer of the seventeen-year cicada
or locust, is the advice of J. G. San-
ders, Economic Zoologist, Pennsylva-
nia Department of Agriculture. Rec-
ords in recent years show diminished
numbers in the reappearing broods.
The cutting of timber throughout the
agricultural sections has destroyed
their food plants and untold millions
have perished in the ground before
maturity. Cicadas do not migrate,
and ordinarily fly but short distances
to the nearest trees for laying eggs
in the young twigs.
Fruit growers should thin out un-
necessary branches to a reasonable
degree but should leave young
branches without cutting them back
until the cicada season is passed. A
heavy coating of lime wash with a lit-
tle lime-sulphur solution added will
act as a partial deterrent to egg lay-
ing cicadas.
In spite of the fact that we have
just passed through the greatest war
in the history of the world, the com-
mon superstition that a letter “W?” on
the wings means “war” is a foolish
fallacy.

Women Give Out
Housework is hard enough when
healthy. Every Bellefonte woman
who is having backache, blue and ner-
vous spells, dizzy headaches and kid-
ney or bladder troubles, should be
glad to heed this Bellefonte woman's
experience:
Mrs. Sara Miller, 108 Curtin St,
says: “My kidneys were weak and I
had dizzy spells and headaches. At
times there were black spots before
my eyes. I didn’t know what was
wrong until some one told me the
trouble came from my kidneys. I had
pains in my back and suffered for a
long time in this way. Sometimes a
dull ache bothered me and then again,
if I bent over or did any heavy lift-
ing, it was a sharp pain. When I sat
down, I couldn’ get up without help.
I also suffered from rheumatic pains.
I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills
and after using two boxes, the rheu-
matic pains left me and the trouble
from my kidneys was removed.”
(Statement given April 21, 1914).
On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Miller
said: “I very gladly confirm my rec-
ommendation for Doan’s Kidney Pills,
which I gave four years ago. I have
had no trouble since then.”

Modifying the Demand.
“My friends,” said the preacher,
“the Scriptural rule for giving was
one-tenth of what a man possessed.
If you feel you cannot afford so much,
why just give a sixth or a fourth, ac-
cording to your means.”
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Spring Medicine
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is Needed Now
As Never Before—
Because, although the war is over,
its work, its worry and excitement
have undermined your reserve
strength.
Because the coughs, colds, grip and
maybe severer
down your power of resistance.
Because winter’s work and close
confinement have worn out your stom-
ach and exhausted your blood.
Can you afford the good long rest
the doctor advises?
If not, take a course of the famous
old medicine—the one that mother
used to take,—Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
It’s the finest extract of Nature’s puri-
fying, vitalizing and strength-making
roots, herbs, barks and berries, such
as physicians prescribe, prepared by
skillful pharmacists, in condensed and
economical form.
If you want the best Spring medi-
cine you’ll surely get Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla. Hood’s Pills help the liver.
