It you are planning to do some re- papering this « spring, etudy the rooms, their defects and merits and make up your mind just what kind of paper they need before you go to buy. Otherwise when you arrive at the shop you may be too dazzled by the colors and pretty patterns to choose wisely. If it is a bedroom that is to be done, see that the paper is cheery above all else. A bright and cheery atmosphere to wake up in, goes a long way toward nailing up the "wrongside of the bed." On the other hand, if the sun shines in in the very early morning onto walls that are too light, it seems to set the whole room afire, and the unfortun- ate would-be sleeper is wakened by it and in no mood to rével in the ¢8dl, Ferisp morn. A colored paper, or one with a rough surface, does not reflect the light so much as dead white or a shiny surface. The rule is: For a light colors. good colors for the latter. and blue very poor ones. The second factor in your choles and almost more important than the lightness, is the size. If the room is small and the walls covered by a dark paper, with a pronounced pat- tern, they will seem to close right in on you. A light, plain paper should be used. One wilh an indefinite pat- tern is very good, as it gives the effect of distamce. If the room is large--what a boon large rooms are any way!--you may take much more liberty with patterns and colors too. The height of the room is a . hig point to watch. If the ceili high it will appear lower wi x arn ceiling. And if it is too low, a strip- Cream and yellow are Mauve travel up and down, following amd will be deceived | anoque was given by Mrs | dry, who was a delegate from the so-| T tions and a good back-ground, are the first essesitials in furnishing any | room.--Ontario Farmer.

Miss Baldwin's political efforts are largely confined to advancing the Conservative Party through social organization. She is an active work- er in the Young Conservative Union, and at present is engaged in organ- izing a ball which the Union will give at Claridge's Hotel. The purpose of the ball is to bring the younger members of the party into more intimate association with young folks who lead less prosper- ous lives that there may be a better understanding of the needs and de- sires of young people of limited means, Paris--The Queen of France is to be elected next June. This announcement by the Presi- dent of the Festival Committee of Paris, caused no excitement in po- litical circles because the queen will not preside over the destinies of the country. She will simply be the play queen ¢hosen to take the leading role in various celebrations and festivals. Twenty-six cities and towns have agreed to furnish candidates. Aberdeen, Scotland--The Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney has come out in defense of modern girls, as- serting that they now dress more sensibly than any girls have done for a thousand years or so. "The girls do their hair in such a fascinating way which I think would even convert St. Paul from his views," said the Bishop, adding: "They also show more fearlessness than in olden days." London--The number of medical practitioners practising in London is 7,588 and of this total 12 per cent. are women, according to the public Health Department of the London County Council. This number of wo- men is not due to economical reasons for both men and women receive the same remuneration. The only dif- ference is that if the women marry they have to resign their appoiat- ments. Innsbruck, Austria--The advo- catés of bobbed hair have been de- feated in a conflict between the mayors of the North Tyro! com- munes and the hairdressers.

Sometime ago, in a study made of the causes of death in a group of normal children under one year of age, it was found that more than one-half of the deaths that occurred in this particular group were due to disorders of nutrition. Such a study shows the great importanee of nurs- ing the baby if possible during the first year of life. She should endeavor to eat only | light food and drink plenty of wa-| ter. It is well worth while for the mother to make energetic efforts to continue giving her baby the food which nature intended for it to re- ceive. A mother should not willing- ly surrender this duty at the first opportunity offered by some slight difficulty, In order properly to nurse the baby it is necessary that-the mother keep herself in good health. This means that she must take sufficient sleep anl eat good food including plenty of milk, meat once a day, eggs, fresh vegetables, ripe fruit, nourishing those foods which agree with her dnd she should be careful not to eat green fruit and other food which may set up digestive disturbances. A nursing mother. should never take any drug without the advice of 8 physician. Alcohol in any form should never be taken by the nurs- ing mother. It used to be a common practice for mothers to take malt liquors to stimulate the flow of milk. While under proper medical su- pervision the use of malt drinks might have some slight value as & temporary measure, the safest rule has always been to avoid all alco- holic beverages. Good results may sometimes he secured by taking an increased amount of fluids in the form of cocoa, beef tea, buttermilk or pure cow's milk. ' The mother should aveld all un- usual excitement or those things which tend to an unusual outburst of the emotions. Life should be so regulated as to protect mothers from weariness and fatigue during thig period. "Isn't it time you bought a new hat?" "Yes, but my wife says she will never go out with-me so.

There is a small bird we | hear quite often, much more often | than we see him for he loves to stay in the tops of the trees. However, { on one of the fine warm days last | week he and his mate arrived on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence and as the trees are still leafless they | were easily seen and recognized as { vireos from their olive and gray green back, and yellow breast. They were industriously at work eating in- | sects from the bark of the trees and { were calling to each other with a | sweet little note. They will build a { nest high in a maple tree, hanging it "in a forked branch as the oriole does and the eggs will be white with a few brown spots.

That Miss Kikuye Hitomi, famous Japanese girl athlete, has now two world records to her credit, the hop- step-jump and standing high jump. At the recent Japan Olympic carni- | val held at Osaka she established a new record of 1.14 metres in the standing high jump event, breaking the previous world record of 1.01% {| meters held by Miss Williams of Am- erica. She had previously establish- {ed a world record of 11.625 meters { in the hop-step-jump event, breaking the world record of 10.323 held by | Miss Stein of America. She is com- | ing to America this spring to study general athletic events and physical exercises. -- | That a curious incident occurred in St. George's Cathedral during the | Sunday evening service. Some peo- ple sitting near the side aisle heard | a peculiar scratching sound in the cold air shaft of the furnace, "It is a mouse?" said one in a whisper, "Perhaps its a rat or a bat," said another. But the lady sitting nearest the register said: "No, its a black bird," And sure enough during the lesson a bird, dovered with dust, came to the top and tried to get out. During the following chant some one interested in birds, lifted the grat- ing aside and presently out came a bewildered looking bronze grackle. He cast a look from his beady black eye at his rescuer and then, deciding he would not stay for the collection, started to walk down the aisle with a tread as dignified as a churchwar- den. The sexton standing at the door was amazed to see a bird walking | towards him. He opened the side | door and the blackbird walked out. | He never made a sound or tried to | fly. It is supposed he fell into the air shaft of the organ, and when the | lights were turned on, came up to the light.
