How About Your
Keys?
RE you one of the many women
A who have trouble keeping track
of keys? »
1{eys are such little things that
they are easily mislaid. Moreover,
kevs have, it seems. a. peculiar nt-
traction for children. One three—
year—old boy used to look upon it
as a duty. seemingly, to collect all
the keys in the house every day and
hide them. He could usually find
them. In that strange way that
little children have.he would tuck
them away? in unexpected nooks and
crannies tobe safe. ache said. Then
he would produce them later. some-
times when they were wanted. and
sometimes long afterward. Eventu-
ally he would reproduce almost all
of them. But the habit was. to say
the least. annoying.
There are several ways of keeping
track of keys.
For door keys. which ar‘wantod
a good way is to tie
of a. colored silk
it may be shaken from the keyholg
by a slamming door, it won't be lost.
And for front-door keys. that you
carry in a handbag. a very good
idea is to tie a loop of bright-colored
cord through them. They will then
be conspicuous and won‘t easily be
lost in your bag. no matter how
ded it is. _‘
mote interior decorator makes use
of colored silk tassel: on keys both
as an interesting means for intro-
ducing color and as a means for
making the key conspicuous. so that
if it is dropped it won't be over-
lookéa. In a dark oak dining-room.
for instance, deep red tassels, three
or four inches long, hang from side-
board. serving table and chins
closet. and the door keys of the
room are similarly—marked. 'In a
drawing room in gray and blue and
mellow. long'blue tassels are used.
The tassel: help to emphasize the
color scheme of the room and at
the same time are useful in making
the keys comment”?-

WAS telling a girl the other
I day that I believed in youthful
marriages. _
"How very oldsfahionedi” said
she.
She reminded me of the doctor
who was rebuked by the very up-
to-date young mother of an ailing
babe~,,because he had prescribed
for it an old—fashioned remedy.
"But babies. madam," he an;-
wered. “are old-fashioned things."
And so, too, is love. my sweet-
hearts. -
And slightly more old-fashioned
even than babies.
Alli There is nothing half so
sweet in life as love's young
dream. , .
Save it. be young parenthood.
t O 0
There are scores of good rea—
sons why young and healthy
couples should marry early in life.
And the best known reasons for
not doing so are selfishness and
lack of money.
And, as far as I can see the
odds are ‘nemlly on the selfish-
ness.
So many girls have stern ob-
jections to marriage unless they
can commence their housekeeping
in precisely the same state of
security and aflluence as obtains
under their Pa's roof.
This is a pity.
And. as I see it. not half so
exciting. as marrying early and
watching the fortune grow.

The inclination to grumble is of

infrequently you hear of
women who send their clothes out

find it so trying and expensive to

the wash women. “Our last one

lure that if some women really ap—
peared in public in a rod frock'or hat

to wear these red things. but you
are glad enough to have some other
woman do it for you.
Lord Frederick Hamilton in bio
book of travel, "Hem There and
Eras-when." has an interesting ac-
count of one man who. apparently,
felt a positive Joy at the eight of
rod. in season and out. This was
Juan R0383. who was dictator-tyrant
of the Argentine Republic between
1885 and 1852. He dressed all his
negro troops in scarlet ponchos. and
_"ordered every male inhabitant of
Buonoe Ayrcs who wore a coat at
all to wear a. scarlet waistcoat. while
all the ladies were hidden to wear a
knot of scarlet ribbon and to carry
I» red fan." In his own house all the
carpet- and stuffs were scarlet. and
interesting anecdotes are told con-
cerning the enforcement of hi-
otrango regulations. ‘ '
Probably every woman in Buenoo
Lyme felt rebellious against those
fed accessories—because a woman
does not like to be told what she
may and may not wear. Now the
girl with a predilection for red finds
real pleasure in it. Both here and
in France the short sport Jacket of
red is considered very smart. The
sketch shows one in red leather
worn with a bat to match. Aigildeli
design is worked on both hat and
jacket. ‘
