Theso dark colors includo "African brown" which is a very deep shade "bottlo green," "crow bluo" (darker than navy) dark taupo, and "fluid mouse," which Is a warm shade in mouse color. A dark blue with a purple cast is called "black berry," and a dark purple like that or tho grape is called "Concord."

It Outfitting Younger September Is upon us and tho young pdoplo must bo outfitted for tho fast coming school dayo and for winter.

A new ruling In tho mothers' pension cases 1ms been mado by County Judge Ford that probably will ilnd favor with othur Judges throughout the state.) In granting n pension to tho minor oh IK" tlren of an Arnold woman, the court Bald: "I mn going to make a new ruling in these pension cases. I shall re quire tho applicants to render to mo an itemized statement at the end of tho six months showing how thry spend this money. As I understand the law, It contemplates the using of this money for tho minors and not for any other person. Ono reason why I "have arrived at this conclusion is that my attention has been called to tho fact that one of the applicants for peirsion has been, from all nppcnr unces, nt least, putting all this pen sion money upon her own backv I have noticed that she is clothing her self much more expensively than sho did before sho received tho pension and 1 notice that her . children are not looking any better. Tho above, however. Is not tho only reason, for, ufter a careful study of tho law, I be lieve It to bo tho duty of the court, to know how this money is spent and If It is not used Judiciously to discon tinue the pension. Therefore, all or ders from this court granting pen sions will also contain an order re quiring the applicant to render at tho end of tho six months on Itemized statement showing how the pension Is spent, and I bellevo that this will aid mo materially In determining whether tho applicant is entitled to a renewal or not."
