Womun early in life decide that certain colors are "becoming" to them. In later years they never bother to re-edit their first impressions of them- selves, even though complexioas have faded and eyes that once reflected the favorite colors so radiantly are now paled and dimmed. Personal coloring changes with health and happiness, with sickness and sadness, so that a shade or tint that is very becoming to you at one time may be very try^ ing at another. Under such circum- stances a readjustment of color is oecessary. But there is no reason to look drab and dowdy, It used to be considered out of place for an older woman to wear anything but gray or black. Fortunately this on this expedition, had asked Mawson ' Peter Reid sat silent for a minute; spoon lay on the cloth, flanked on one the whole family.

"Black should not be worn after a woman is thirty, unless for mourning, nor again until after she is sixty," is an old saying in France, that country of fashions. Black should always be relieved with a light color at the neck line. Black satin has too high a finish to be really becoming, where soft- finished stuflTs might be lovely. A gray-haired woman rarely looks well in tan or brown tones. I Colors, such as green, which accen-' tuates sallowness, should be avoided. Blue and purple, in the dull, warm tones, with some yellow in them, are frequently becoming. With iron-gray hair beige is usual- ly good, while with clear skin and pure white hair gray may be worn. From youth to old age every wo- man can wear white, but, of course,' ft should not be pure white, which is' "hard" and brilliant.

After more than sixty years of health, he found his body failing him. In great irritation, but without alarm, he went to see a specialist, one Laud- er, in Wimpole Street. He supposed he would be made to take a holiday, and grudged the time that would be lost He grudged, also, the doctor's fee. "Well," he said, when the exam- ination was over, "how long are you going to keep me from my work " The doctor looked at him thought- fully. He was quite a young man, tall, falr-haiiied, and fresh-colored, with a look about him of vigorous CHAPTER III. Pamela Reston stood in Bella Bath- gate's parlor and surveyed it disconso- lately. It was papered in a trying shade of terra-cotta and the walls were em- bellished by enlargfed photographs of the Bathgrate family â€" decent, well- living people, but plain-headed to a degree. Linoleum covered the floor. A round table with a red-and-green cloth occupied the middle of the room, and two arm-chairs and six small chairs stood about stiffly like senti- nels.

Arctic will again be em- ployed, under the direction ot the North West Territories and Yukon Branch of the Department of the In- terior, In connection with the estab- lishment of post offices, custom houses and Royal Canadian Mounted Police posts in Franklin district. It is expected that the ship will sail from Quebec about the end of June and In addition to calling at and re- supplylng the posts at Craig Harbour, Ponds Inlet and Pangnirtung will again visit Godhavn, Greenland, and will also make another attempt to Cape Sabine on EUesmera Is- land, opposite Etah, Greenland. It ice conditions there show no improve- ment over last season, it Is probable that the new post will be established at some point to the westward, pos- sibly on Cornwallls island, or at some point on Melville sound. The Government's new ship, the C.Q.S. Franklin, is now being repaired and strengthened in England to en- able her to stand the strains of an Arctic voyage, but she will not be sent north this year, although she may be brought to Canada when th* alterattuus have been completed. Play Safe With Explosives. "Picks up detonators â€" one explode* â€"boy Loses hand." The above newspaper heading em- phasizes the need of greater know- ledge in the uses and handUng of ex- plosives. Familiarity breeds con- tempt is unfortunately too true with many users of explosives, and numer- ous accidents to innocent victims re- sult. Notwithstanding the great car* with which manufacturers place their products in the hands of consumer*, the repeated warning Issued regarding the hazardous nature of the material, and the strict regulations covering the manufacture, transportation and stor- age of explosives, there is a continu- ous record of accidents due to care- lessness and ignorance. The explosives division of the Fed' eral Department of Mines has recently Issued a small pamphlet on "Tha Handling of Explosive*," which is de« signed, to quote from the pamphlet, "to call attention to the cardinal prln' ciples which should be observed in the handling of explosives and shot* firing, from the point ot view of safe- ty." While the general public may rarely come In contact with exploalTea a knowledge of the tundamentals U^ their handling, transportation and storage and of their employment, eith- er on the farm for land clearing or in construction work, will In many case* allay a curiosity that may result la serious accident or loss of life.

They are made from unbleached mus- lin finished at the bottom with fringe. A figured cretonne is used across the top. The material is the same in both living room and dining room. Misplaced.
