Right Use of Color Successful color harmony in dec orations takes into consideration not only the choice or color tones, but also the influence of the different colors in their relation to the in dividual human being and while one may not care to endorse "all the extremes that psychologists may claim, we know that we are in fluenced more or less by color ac cording to conditions and tempera ment. Some colorscause unrest to cer tain individuals, while others find the same color pleasing and harmon ious. Because the same color does not affect all people the same way, we can only assume that the dif ference lies in the human mind and not in the color itself. Many physicians make a study of color and it is a well known fact to them that patients suffering from diseases that cause great depression are often benefited by changing the color of the walls of the rbom in which they spend their time. It may be well to briefly consider the temperament of color as these articles are especially designed to be of assistance to every woman in the home. ' A trained decorator does not select, because he has a certain liking for any one group of colors, but his aim is to bring the greater degree of harmony into the home through his color selections. .

By blending together in different proportions of strength any two or all three of these colors, every tone of color is produced. The addition of whfte, changes the original color only by reducing its strength, resulting in a milder tone called a tint. Yellow is the color of the sun and its influence is much the same. It radiates cheerfulness. Red represents life, energy and heat. It has stimulating quality. It is too insistent for wall paper. Blue is cool and soothing, it does not crowd closely upon one used on walls it gives the effect of spa ciousness and distance.' Blending any two of the primary colors together we have what is known as a binary color. Yellow and red when blended produce the different tones called orange, which express the qualities of- the two colors onily in reduced strength of each. Yellow and blue result in the dif ferent greens in proportion to the strength of each color representing the coolness of the blue and the cheerfulness of the yellow, the com bination gives an agreeable sensa tion. Red and blue produce the different tones of violet. Significant of twi light and shadow the different tones are more useful for decorative furnishings than for wall surface. Blending all these primaries re sults in the different tones of gray. These are full of color, not color less as some claim. An understand ing of this will explain the frequent use of gray for walls. It makes a charming background for many rooms. Grace A. Wilmot in Gen eral, Federation Magazine. , Oxfords, Pumps, Co lonials, One and Two-Eyelet Ties, Calf, Kid and Pat ent.

On the occasion of a recent visit to an interesting western city which bore all the earmarks of beinp; in the midst of a boom I was greatly sur prised on being presented to the sec retary of the local Chamber of Com merce to find myself clasping the hand of a pretty young woman. She excited my interest and curios ity and I plied my friends with ques tions about her. The townspeople were only too eager to gratify my curiosity. With a pride that I soon felt was entirely justified one of the leading business men of the town told me the story of the girl whose job is to make her home town the industrial center of the state and whose desire and ambition is tomake its power felt throughout the country. Mrs. R. had been a teacher in the public school.- At the beginning of the war her fiance, who was one of the rising young business men of the town, volunteered for active service. When he was ordered abroad they were married and, at her husband's request, she resigned from the school and took charge of his business. Her husband was killed in action, and in settling up the estate his brother came into possession of the business. That left Mrs-. R. with nothing to do. She didn t care to go back, to school work, but she was restless and wanted an occupa tion. About this time the city was brought into disrepute with the en tire country through a series of crimes committed by an organized band. 'Although some of the mem bers of the band were caught and convicted, the affair had a disturb ing effect on the prosperity of the town. Merchants, hotel proprietors, heads of the various industries, and amuse Custom of Giving Differs in "When Jenny Lind was in Vienna, years ago, a lover learned millinery and floristry so that he might sew in her hat daily three red roses as a tribute to her art. He might have sent huge baskets to her over the footlights. But his method was more delicate. And Jenny Lind was pleased. Princess Metternich, too, used to wear flowers in her hat, ac cording to a prominent florist, who trimmed exotic millinery for her daily. "Muri Silba, the pianist, who sends Iter flowers to a hospital, declares that Americans are far behind most European countries in the art of presenting flowers to musicians and actresses across the footlights. "American men order flowers in large quantities, to be passed over the footlights ostentatiously by in different ushers," she says. "In Europe flowers are thrown on the stage, and are immediately acknowl edged by the smile of the artist. Or they are presented in some other way which shows personal thought and effort on the part of the giver. "In France, as in Germany, flow ers are given not for their size and conspicuousness, but always with r-ome .potent meaning. ... They are given personality; they are selected with thought.

The Water in which we do Your Washing No detail in the washing of clothes is so .impor tant as the water used. Laundresses once imagined they were exceptional ly sanitary when they changed the water in tubs and boilers four or five times during a washday. And considering their limited facilities, they really did do very well. But if you were to visit our laundry, you would find us doing even better. We use new water not once, but from nine to twelve times while your clothes are being cleansed. Every few minutes while the washing is in prog ress, we draw off the muddled water and add more that is fresh and pure water specially fil tered and specially softened. Isn't this an immense improvement over the home laundering methods of by-gone days? And it is a fine guarantee, too, of true clothes health . Why seek high and low for a laundress? Why struggle and strain over the family washing when we can give you this ideal laundry service?

Her of fer was accepted and she was ap pointed secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. DurinK the six months she worked rday and night; carrying out plans that brought visitors and an in creased volume of business to the city. She organized separately all the different business interests and won their entire co-operation with her schemes. At the end of six months she had stirred up so much enthusiasm among the citizens for the town's welfare that she was asked to remain in office and was voted a generous salary. In two years of hard but pleasant work Mrs. R. helped the town to live down its unsavory reputation and now it is one of the booming cities in the state. Its schools and other public institutions are conducted on such a high plane of efficiency and economy that they are the envy of the neighboring cities, and the parks and driveways draw a stream of visitors from the entire countryside. Every celebrity, however great, who visits that section of the country stops at the town, and people from all over the state flock to any public demonstration given there. Is it any wonder that her towns people are proud of Mrs. R.? I am sure that her story wil be a source of inspiration to any girl who works. It was to me. Flowers Various Countries for fresh picked violets. An admirer went off to the Riviera and arranged to have fresh picked violets sent to the singer by courier every day. Fiuri was an Italian singer. A lover of hers sent down into Italy so that she might have the small white daisies she was so fond of. "In Italy they are impulsive flower givers. Here, as in Spain, they were wont to decorate the carriages and horses that draw the artist; to throw flowers on the ground before the horses, or even to unhitch the horses and draw the carriage with ropes of flowers. In Roumania, too, they were exuberant and extravagant in their gifts. They threw flowers from the windows so that they fell upon the head and all around the artist. The gift was impersonal. It was not made with the hope of reward, but a& a tribute to the artist. "In Russia, in the old days of aris tocracy, there was something be sides mere disinterestedness in the passage of a few posies over the footlights. Flowers, seemingly in nocent, were often merely used as a camouflage for more costly gifts. Sometimes a pair of slippers with ruby buckles or a pearl necklace was concealed among the flowers which the singer received in full view of the audience. Russians were very lavish in their gifts of flowers. A Bride-to-Be The marriage of Miss Sara Ray mond Cole, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond V. Cole and Wil liam T. Usinger of Pittsburgh, Pa., will take place June 30. It was while in the Red Cross can teen service in France that Miss Cole first met Mr. Usinger, who was over seas 18 months. Miss Cole was stationed the greater part of the time at the Red Cross canteen in Tout. She returned home in July, 1919. The bride-to-be is a graduate of the Omaha High school and of the Nebraska State university in 1918, at which time she received Phi Beta Kappa honors. She is afo a charter member of Pi Chapter of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority in Lincoln. Following the wedding Mr. Using er and his bride will take a trip through the east and they will sail July 24 from New York for Paris for an extended honeymoon. They expect to remain in Europe for about six months andbefore returning to the states will visit Germany, Aus tria and Italy, as well as France. The ceremony will be performed by the Rev. E. H. Jenks in the First Presbyterian ehurch, Wednesday evening. The bride-to-be will be attended by her younger sister, Evelyn, as bridesmaid, and the gioom by his brother, who comes here from Pittsburgh for the occa sion.

Dreams have a great significance. Scientists have found the visions of sleep can reveal far more important facts than the nature of the dishes served at supper. When soundly asleep we don't dream. Dreams occur during pe riods of half-wakefuluess, when the mind works in spite of us, rather than because we are deliberately thinking. Certain classes of dreams are the outcome of physical conditions. If you strip the clothes off a sleeper he may dream that he is out in the show. You can make a person dream he is in a storm of rain by sprinkling water on his face. So much for dreams due to mere ly mechanical causes. But we all have nightly visions that cannot, in any way, be traced to such origins. How do they occur? All dream-pictures are built up of memories. When we are awake we select the ideas that bubble up into our mind, because they are interest ing or useful. When asleep we are denied this power of choice. Women sleep more lightly than men due to their inherited instinct to watch an infant and, according ly, dream more, and remember their dreams more completely than do men. The scientific interpretation of dreams is based on the following facts: ' 1. A dream is not a representa tion of fact, but is symbolic. 2. Dreams include, as well as realized memories, ideas that we are unconscious of in our wide-awake daily life. For instance, I dreamed on one occasion that I met a friend I had not seen for a long while, and he was wearing convict's clothes. I could not, at first, get at the bot tom of this vision, until I remem bered that a few days before I had been reading a letter from my friend as I left my club, and on revisiting my club I saw there was a poster opposite, displaying, in large let ters, the legend "Convict 99." At the time of reading the letter I had not consciously noticed the placard on the wall, but must have read it unconsciously, only really learning of its existence through the dream. Dr. Bernard Hart relates a dream, showing how an idea objectionable STORE OF ESTABLISHED IN 1270 ej) 595 Women's Summer Hats $ The cleverest group of silk and straw creations and SPORT HATS Secured at a ridiculously low price, as you will concede when you see them.

His success would have meant my promotion; but he happens to be one of my greatest friends, and I should cer tainly resent the suggestion that Ujt departure could occasion me any thing but genuine sorrow. 1 Nevertheless, I dreamt this dream: He and I were endeavoring to write ia an inconceivably small room. C'ae space was. so cramped that the movements of one constantly inter lercd with those of the other. A quarrel resulted, and I had the satis taction of finally pushing my collea gue and friend outside the door." The constellation of ideas that Dr. Hart would not acknowledge in the waking state managed to find expression in a symbolical form during sleep. : Children have been known to dream when four months old. Dogs dream, as the owner of one knows. Many unpleasant dreams are the re vival into consciousness of fears and emotions that we felt in the sav age state. Delirium tremors may originate during sleep. So drinkers, beware 1 The analysis of dreams, as it is called, is an important part of med ical practice, especially in csartNf shell-shbck, diseased minds, o! nucrasthenia. If a distressing dreamHs recur rent, as they often are, the cure is to get the idea underlying the night mare exposed to the cleansing at mosphere of workaday life, when they will be entirely obliterated. The simplest way to do this is to write the dream down on a sheet of paper. Make the description as complete as possible, to make cer tain that no detail has been omitted, then destroy it. This may sound like African magic; but there is a sound scientific explanation o th result, and the practice is supported by much experience. If had dreams are disagreeable, ' ia very comforting to learn that pleasant dreams are beneficial health. Take note of your dreams. Putt them to pieces. See what they art made of, and you will obtain much valuable knowledge of your mind. Dreams are, above all, an index td character.
