"It will be very Interesting. said Mrs. Patrick Campbell to a New York corre spondent a tew days ago, to see how American women will dress In. black and yet manage not to look dowdy. Since nearly- all Europe Is mourning, and will bo for some time tp, come, I feel sure that American women also win wear black and somber colors. Bet why) should we Americans either for fashion's sake or out of sympathy for our afflicted European cousins assume the- garb of mourners? To be sure, as "Mrs. Patrick Campbell went on to ex plain, we Americans generally do man age to look smart and chic even when dressed in black and dark colors. But almost every woman will admit that a tench, at least, of color In her costume adds Immensely to her appearance. Therefore, In these trying days when every morning brings fresh news of the wastefulness and suffering of war. let us American women do our best to counter act this depressing influence. There Is a psychology of color that no one can deny. We are all primitive enough and especially eo the sterner sex to feel the stimulating Influence of a pure tone of red, the passion of violet, the elevating influence of blue, the cheerfulness of yellow, or the cool restfulness of green. And this season when the fabric makers have laid before us such a tempting ar ray of rich fabrics many of them de signed abroad before the war began why shouldn't we selxe the opportunity to lend a note of life and gayety by wearing colors? Alresdy there Is a turn In the right direction In spite of Mrs. Campbell's pre diction. Bright red hats have won their way to the front in a season that began all blacky or black and white In things mminery. Brilliant evening wraps are the choice of women of fashion and taste. Linings even of dark sport coats show silks of exquisite brilliance, and for even ing wear there are fabrics that rival the rich splendor of medieval ecclesiastical embroideries. So If your heart aches, as Mrs. Patrick Campbell's heart aches, for the bereaved women of Prance, And some other way of showing your sym pathy than by going Into somber colors for the winter. To manifest our thank fulness that peace prevails at home why not go ahead and make this a season of bright colors " Baby's ITame. Choosing a name for a new baby Is al wajs a matter of anxious consideration, but In certain lands the anxiety has been minimized by the laying down of rules to guide the choice. The Mohammedans, for example, write five names on clips of paper and place them in the Koran. One slip is drawn out, and the name written thereon is be stowed upon the baby. -With the Egyp tians three lighted candles are taken and named one name always being of Bibli cal character and the candle which burns the longest determines the child's name, sa s the Buffalo Sunday Times. The Hindoos allow the mother to name a baby when It is twelve days old, but if the father does not like the chosen name, he selects another Then the two names are written on slips of paper and held over a lighted lamp, that which burns the brighter being the name finally adopted. , In China, girl babies are considered not worth naming, and are simply num bered In order of birth. Chinese boys are named until they are twenty, when they "receive fresh names specially chosen by their fathers. Washing: Blankets. Blankets should be washed through three waters, warm, not hot. The first should have strong, very strong, soap sods; the second less soap, and the third Just enough soap to make the water ap pear milky. They should then be wrung slightly, thrown over the line and then pulled straight. If they should not be dry when evening comes, fold them and put them In a wash basket and hang again in the sun the following day, and the day thereafter If necessary, until they are perfectly dry.

One of the most remarkable intellects of the present generation is Marie Curie whose name Is so closely Identified with the discovery and application of radium. She Is only forty-six years old today and yet there are few scientists, men or women. whoe scientific attainments are so great as those of Mme. Curie. Marie Curie is n native of Warsaw, Poland, her maiden name having been Marie 3kIodoA ska. From her girlhood she revra'ed a remarkable genius t for mathematics and scientific studies and nf'er hiving studied In her own coun try she vsn to Paris. -There she took a degree In mathematical and physical sciences and received Instructions from M. Pierre Curie, one of the most able scientists of the French capital. The marriage of Marie Sklodowska and Pierre Curie Is one of the most interest ing cases of the marriage ofv two geniuses. It was when Marie Curio was but thirty-two that the Curies made the an nouncment of their discovery of the substance Polonium, named In honor of Poland, the birthplace of Marie Curie. Later in the same year came the an nouncement of the discovery of radium. It is Interesting to conjecture whether M. Curie would have made these dis coveries without the aid of his gifted wife or whether Marie Curie could ever have made the discoveries without M. Curie's assistance. Perhaps It was a work that could only have been accom plished by two masterful geniuses work ing In perfect understanding and single ness of purpose. It Is said that Just before these wonderful discoveries were perfected the Curies were about to aban don their work through lack of funds, and that only through the timely aid of a few Interested Individuals were they able to bring their work to fruition. It was a small gift of money, but It was what was needed to finish the researches that led to one of -the most remarkable discoveries of the century. M. Curie died eight years ago, but Mme. Curie continues her tireless experimenta tions with radium. She is regarded as the highest living authority on that lit tle understood substance. It is said that the long hours that she has spent ln the laboratory working over noxious chemicals have faded her hair and taken Mhe life from her complexion, but the sweet expression of her face wmen was always so striking still is evident. It is an interesting fact that this greatest of all women scientists of the present age perhaps of any age should have also been one of the most thoroughly congenial and helpful of wives and that amid all her long hours of study and re search she has had .time to devote to her only child. (Cojsrfcht Sill Lading the Christmas Ship. At the Bush Terminal, in Brooklyn. N.

(CourrUht DILI rrrHE Man had a beautiful ''garden. In it were flowers so many and so rare that everybody talked about - of the earth. For many years The Man traveled far and near in search of .unusual plants and brought them to his garden. Tndefatigablyhe worked to keep out the weeds, althdUgh bis friends said be was a dreamer whose wagon-was hitched to an impossible star. They told him that no garden in jail' this world .was without its weeds, and declared tlat they were natural and wpuldn't dp any damage. The Man only smiled, shook his head, and went on working to rout every ugly and obstinate growth. , . Sometimes he stood in the midst of "his garden in the cool of the evening and looked about him to see that it was fair, but each time there seemed to him that something waslacking. He knew that the fame of his work had extended far; that men said his garden was the most perfect in all the world; but in his heart of heartsihe was not entirely satisfied. Some shade of beauty was clearly missing; some -needed perfume lacking. So The Man determined ihat he would find the flower needed, no matter what the cost He went on a long journey, searching in eery nook and cranny, but he lyfffi fa MlA As the man stood tku la did not find out even so much as the needed, so he returned to work among One day The Artist came to visit painting as The Man was for his garden, and, although he lived at a great distance, he had heard of the radiance of the garden in which The Man had cultivated rare and wonderful plants, and determined to see the place for himself. When The Artist had spent an hour that he must have died and gone to heaven. He simply reveled in the riot of color and steeped his senses in the perfume of the flowers. "It is a perfect place," he told The Man. "I wonder?" came the dejected reply. After this The Artist said nothing; but he, too. began to uonder, for when the first impression of its radiance wore away The Artist became conscious of something wrong. The garden was not perfect, and it was clear enough that The Man, who had given all the jears of his jouth to making it so, was sad and disappointed. "There is a flower missing," said "I know," answered. The Man, "but I cannot find it" The Artist looked into the sad, sad "Why, of course," he cried out, suddenly; "I should hae known in the first place." Whereupon he whispered the name world to The Man "I shall seek it at once," cried The find it?" "By its perfume," answered The Artist "It is like unto that of none other." The Man journeved again over land and oer sea. He went into crowded places and again upon the mountain top, but he did not find any flower whose perfume was strange to him. He became weary and foot-sore in his search, and finally made up his mind that no such plant as that which The Artist had mentioned existed. Once or twice he stumbled upon lurid blossoms which" were unfamiliar, but when he examyied them he found that they sprang from the very weeds of which he had worked so hard to keep his garden clear for lo, these many years. "I will go home, and I will not tend the garden any more," he told himself, "for I could never be satisfied now unless I gain for it the perfume which,The Artist says is the sweetest and rarest in the world." Heart-weary and discouraged The Man returned. He arrived in the night Before the sun rose he went out into the garden to take a last look at all the beautiful things he had planted there and tended through many years. He stood in their midst and told them that he had come to say good-by to them. He told them that they were good to look upon; that they had satisfied him for many a j ear, but that he bad now come to the cross-roads where he needed a flower that did not grow-in his garden, and without which the garden was of no avail. And even while he talked the rare and beautiful flowers about him began to lift thejf wonderful heads, for the east (quite ignoring The Man; they raised the morning sun. The Man watched them in amazement He had come forth tn trll ihrm good-by forever, and one and all they loveliness, a new; radiance, inhaling, as it As The Man stood thus in the midst scious of a new perfume.

At the fashion fete, held at the Ritx-Carlton Hotel on Wed nesday and Thursday of this week for the benefit of the Committee of Mercy in Its work for the war sufferers, the dis play of American made fashions was ex ceedingly brilliant A hundred models were shown In groups. The procession of models ap peared singly and in groups on the, stage and then walked dawn the aisle through the audience The gowns shown left little to be desired In grace, richness of color, taste In combinations of materials and colors, and appropriateness for the vari ous occasions for which they were de signed Several of the models shown were were decidedly ultra. ere were oeciaeoiy uiirs. ......

It was fashioned In simple, sweeping lines. An unusual wedding gown had little puffed sleeves of the 1S30 period, with the high puffed waist and straight skirt and the tulle veil was niched up on top of the head In the old-time Spanish comb effect The bouquet was frilled nosegay. This was most novel In Its aspect at the present day. There was also a shooting costume, with a rough cloth cape, and a plctur- esout wide brimmed felt hat with feath ers at one side, all In browns, and the fair SDortsnoman carried a gun. The wearer of another sport costume had Russian wolf hound In leash. A fancy dress caused much amuse ment and gained no end of applause. The skirt resolved Itself Into pegtop trousers made up of a succession of white ruf fles edged with color, a plaid Jacket tight at th waist and with flvaway skirt and a collar that rose almost to the top of the head at the back. With this was worn a small, flat oval pancake hat In green with a red velvet ribbon wound about It The model also wore a wide ribboned monocle In her left eye and carried a cane. Among the wraps shown was a' volu mlnous one In ermine with the new square cape collar outlined In the ermine tails and ermine tails bordered the re vers. Another in flame-colored velvet trimmed and bordered "with brown fur, brought In a brilliant flash of color. As a rule, however, the gowns tended to subdued effects In shading. There were many swathed designs in the even lng gowns, although several of the most graceful hung from the waist In straight lines. Both scant and full skirts were shown In both the gowns and the coats. The tendency in nearly ail was to flat ef fects from the waist up and to fullne-s from the waist down. Most of them, bar ring few of the evening gowns and the tea-gowns were short but not exces sively so. The display of genuine Jewels was bril liant one ornament loaned by a New York Jeweler being worth JCS.O0O. The total value of the necklaces, tiaras, and other ornaments worn by the models was estimated at tSCO,0CO. A number of de tectives watched them, during every mo ment of their use.

The English army doctors said that the soldiers liked fudge, that It su easy to carry and that it was nourishing. They like It especially when It Is made accord ing to an American recipe As it Is orig inally an American confectlun. this is not to be wondered at So English girls were urged to make as much fudge as they could for the soldiers. The two American girls referred to heard the appeal and set about making fudge. Every pound that they could put together was greedily accepted for use among the soldiers.

Theodore Itooseve I -Q -f House wives Daily Economy Calendar THE FOWL AT ITS BEST. The fqwl, which term covers chicken and roosters from a year and a half to two years old. is to tie had now at a vary reasonable price, and can be served In a large variety of forma. Southerners are particularly successful In cooldag fowl, perhaps because in tht warm cli mate It Is not possible to keep freak meats for any length ot time, and the cookery of poultry becomes an art with the least pretentious of Southern house wives. They seldom serve poultry plain, but combine it with rice, vegetables, and rich sauce and gravies. Here are some excellent chicken recipes gleaned from Southern oook-books: Pilaff Is another combination of chick en, rice and tomato, which Is simpler in its construction. The fowl is prepared ss or crtole stew. Melt two tablespooa fuls of butter and add an onion sliced very thin. When the onion is cooked, add the chicken and allow it to cook for a moment without browning, ahakinr tha pan gently to keep It from stlcklag. Cover with boiling water and after It has come to the boiling point push ths chicken on the back of the stove to stmmsr for three quarters of an hour or more if tha chick en is large. Have ready a cup of rice, which has been washed snd soaked In cold water. Drain off this water and sprinkle the rice over the top of the chick en. Flavor with salt and pepper, put en the cover tightly and cook for thirty min utes, being careful that tha ilea does not absorb all the water and, cans the chick en to scorch. In another saucepan rub to together two level tablespoonfuls of but ter and the same of salt Add two cups of strained tomato Juice, pour over the melted butter and flour, and bring to the boiling point Dish the chicken on a hot platter with the rice on top. Flavor the tomato sauce with a dash ot salt and pepper, and strain through a sieve over the chicken. For a chicken less than a year old tha Southern method ot smothering Is ex tremely tasty. Split the chicken down the back and lay flat bones down, in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, and pour around them one pint of water. Cover tightly and braise until half done, basting frequently. Now remove th cover. Add to the drippings one-half pint of rich milk. or. better stilt thin cream. Dredge the chicken lightly with flour and bake a rich brown, basting fre quently. Pressed chicken is a delicious supper dish and an admirable device for mask ing a fowl's age. Singe and draw a chicken, but do not cut it up. Boil until tender in Just enough water to keep it cocking. When It la almost ready to Tall to pieces, remove from the pot and sllD out all the bones.
