The head buyer in a department store laughed, as she said: I certainly can give you the latest news from the tront I just got back to the store this morning. Paris n as as black and white as a newspaper hardly a bit of color, except amonc the lower classes. Everyone who made a pretense of being anybody' was In nil biack or black and white, The hats were all black, the skirts are tighter than ever thirty-two inches around the bottom and very full and draped over the hips, the dresses are verj low and short Blee ed even for the street, and the aren't wearing any gloes. "There!" she gasped, after that iong sentence, "that is the news from Paris 1 have brought home righl black and white models for afternoon, wear and four for evening. But I think that suits are going to be very popu lar In dull browns and greens, as weui as In black and white So I dldn': bring exclusively black and white cos tumes "This is the biggest year we have ever had in what used formerly to be half mourning wear We have, with out exaggeration, f(i per cent of all our fall models in black and white 1 think it is a sort of a reaction against the atrocious Bulgarian color ing ot this last spring. " MAKE YOUR PORCH ATTRACTIVE. This is one season of the year when there is no excuse for one uot getting fresh air and plenty of it. It is "porch weather." Vet, one can see in the course of a little journey on a warm evening a thousand porches thai are unoccupied, j while the houses to whl h they ui'e .attached are lighted v.itbln All ol which means plainly that the 1 pdrclies are not as comfortable nor as cozy as the inside of the houses And naturally people prefer to be j comfortable even If to be so they find it necessary to ignore the demands of health rules Were porches kept comfortable and i as attractive as the silting rooms hardly anyone would prefer to re- main indoors, but there seems to be little regard for the furnishing oi these "individual breathing places." There are thousands and thousand-! of porches in every city which are either scantily furnished or not furbished fur-bished at all. True enough, furniture may he earned out and in, but the at-I at-I tractlveness of the porch by tbjs rule is not constant A roomy porch swing, a bamboo couch, and several willow rockers, plenty of pillows, and a rug will make .i porch the most popular place of the house during the summer. Porch furniture does not cost a great deal, and where one does not wl8h to incur the extra expense a little Ingenuitj will go a long ways toward making the porch corotortable There should be room for all members of the family, and means of comfort as well. Select Furniture for Comfort. The point is this: If the porch is not inviting and furnished for comfort com-fort it will not be put to general use. Neglect of the porch means that peo-ple peo-ple are neglecting one of the finest of opportunities to ghe the body the energy of oxygen. Then there is the matter of relaxation relaxa-tion or comforting rest See that your j porch furniture is selected tor 1C3 I comfort and not for appearance There (are too many beautiful but impracticable imprac-ticable pieces of Turnilure these days A roomy porch Bvin. a bamboo couch, several wicker rockers, plant) of pillows, and a rug under all will make the porch the most popular l place of the house during the sum mer. Such a furnishing will be a call to the open air. where the body will get a full supply of oxygen and repair the. waste of the day's exertions One of the encouraging signs of the times la found in the revival of interest in-terest in country living and in t ho lot reased seal In every form of out door activity which has seized upon the American ieople during the last few years. Preen air and sunshine, which our grandparents strove bo earnestly to exclude Ironi the house, are now regarded re-garded as vitally neeessar, and homes are being built to provide the maximum amount of sunlight and i r Bh air |
