Color and CoEmpEexiom---A Study for
Ladies'.

| LADIES.
RED DRApERy.-Rose-re cannot be nut
in contact with the rosiest compilations
without causing them TO lose some of their
freshness. Dark-red is less Objectionable
for certain complexions than those rose.
red, because, being higher than this latter,
it tends TO linpart whIteness to them in
consequence OF contrast OF tone.
GREEN DRApERY.-A delicate green is,
on the contrary, favorable TO all fair COM
plexions which are deficient in rose, aud
which may have moie impaired to them
without Inconvenience. But 1t is not as
favorable to compexions that are more red
than ROSY, nor to thos that have tint OF
orange mixed with brown, because the red
tbey add 10 this tint will be Of brick red
hue. In the latter case dark green will
be less Objectionable than deIicate green
YELLOW DRApERY.-Yellow imparts vi
oIet to fair skin, and in this view IT is less
favorable than the delicate green. To those
skins which are more yellow than orange
| IT imparts white; but this combination is
very dull and heavy for a.Iair complexion.
When the skin is tinted more with grange
than yellow, we can make it roseate by
neutraIizing the. yellow. II produces this
effect upon the black haired type, and 1t Is
thus that il suits brunettes.
VIOLET DRApERIEs.-VIolet, the COM
Elementary Of yellow produces contrary ef-
lects thus it imparts some greenIsh yellow
to fair compiexions. ii augments the vel
low tint of yellow and orange skins. The
little blue there may be in complexion 1t
makes green. Violet, then, is one ct the
least favorable coors TO the skin, at least
when it is not sufficiently deep to whlten 1t
by contrast of tone.
BLUE DRApERY.-Blue imparts orange,
which is susceptible of allyng ltselt tavor-
ably to white and the light flesh tnts oil far
complications, which have already more or
less determined tint Of this color. Blue is
then. suitable 20 most blondes, and IN this
case iustlfes It's reputation. twill not snlt
brunettes, since they have already too much.
of the orange.
ORANGE DRApEpY.-Orange is too brill
liant to be elegant; it makes fair complex
ions blue, whitens those which have an or
ange tint and gives green hue to those Of
yellow TINT
WHITE DRApERY.-Drapery of lustre-
le IS white, such as a cambrlc muslin, as
sorts well with fresh complexion, OF winch
it relieves the rose color; BUT is unsuitable
to compilations which have disagreeaole
tint. because white always exalts all coiors
b7 raising their tone consequently 1t IS
unsuitable TO those skins which, without
having their disagreeable TINT, very nearly
approach it. Very light white draperes,
such as muslin. plated or point lace have
an entirely different aspect.
BLACK DRApERY.--Dlack draperies, low
erng the tone of the coicrs with which they
are in iuxta- position whten the skin; but
# the vermIlIon or rosy parts are 10 GER
tain point distant from the drapery, 1t will
follow that, although lowered in tone, they

skin contiguous to this same draPery, red

Parental Res 'omsibilLty.

Tn the training OF The rising generation
and their subsequent conduct through life
much depends upon the example which is
shown by the parents or those having charge
of the training of the young mind and a
deep responsibility which is too often for
gotten rests upon the character of such
training. We are led to these remarks from
having witnessed recently scene by no
means uncommon, but one which is fre.
qupntly fraueht with the most unhappy and
deplorable consequences. That was the
leading by the hand boy of some five or
six summers into common bar-room filed
with men, induging in every kind OF pro-
fame and indecent language. Early impress
sions are not easily eradicaed, and TOO
much care cannot be exercised by parents
never to be the means of allowing impres-
sions of an improper character TO be made
upon the minds of their children. If we
visit the large prisons where persons are
confined for crime, in large majority OF
cases it vii! be found that the impressions
of evil were received in early Youth, and
not being checked because of the careless
ness or highly induigent disposition of the
parent, they have grown until they have
reached to crime and theirs has been life
of living disgrace.
Ii is true, there have been instances where
young men reaching above the level OF
their training, have become ornaments to
society and by their industry and integrity
have amas.ed reputation and wealth, but
these cases are comparatively lew. 1t is
not to be supposed that wien parent nn-
Willingly leads bis child into those places
where none hut improper impressions can
be obtained, he thinks for one moment that
that very act may lead 10 life of debauch-
ery and shame and disgrace. Or If the re-
cord of the scalfold Of our own country is
examined into, a majority of its victims, ii
will be found, owe their ignominy 10 the too
careless charge OF their parents IN early
youth and the record of the tribunal which
consigned them TO eXpiate their offence with
their lives will >how that proper regard iot
their future happiness was not exercised
before their young minds were sufficiently
balanced to Judge OF and pursue The proper
course. If children were prohibited from
entering such places it would save world
of trouble to parents when ace has cTepi
upon them, and The evening Of their lives
would moi so often be spent IN sorrow.
