Tie Kane Expcditiou.-Thc country, judg.
Ing by Its press, appears suddenly to have
gone daft over the adventures of the returned
expedition. We read perhaps, a hundred ex-
changes yesterday, in most Of which little else
was discoursed Of. From the sealskin breeches
of the pretty Esquimeaux with Norwegian
cross, and the loss of his toes by the old dog
Tcodlcs, up to the discovery of the open ocean
surrounding the North Pole, the existence Of
which, though long since made manifest
through the analogy of science, was never be-
fore confirmed by the eyes of mortal, civilized
man, nothing else seems for the nonce to be
thought Of
The grand result Of DR.. Kane's expedition,
added to that Of the British Captain Mcclure,
has been the discovery (hy the latter Of the
so-long sought northwestern passage, and the
assurance by both that it can never be worth a
baubee for the purposes of commerce Judging
from Fremont cries in the newspapers, one of
the most immediate results Of the Kane expe-
dition is to be all effort to extract a round sum
from the National Treasury to indemnify the
officers and men, who went on it, for alleged
pecuniary losses, and to pay them fer their
extra services, &c &c. &c, &C., &c to the
end of the chapter. OF course, they will get
all their friends my ask on their accou mt out

It being iii keeping with what bids fair to be

COLOR AND COMPLEXION.
4 STUDY FOR LADIES.


RED DRAPERY.-Rose red cannot be put in contact
with the rosiest compilations without causing them
to lose of their freshness Dark red is less OBJ
jectionable for certain compilations than red,
because being higher than this latter it tends to i'm
part wilderness to them in consequence of contrast
of tone.
GREEN DRAPERY.--A delicate green is, on the con
trary favorable to all fair compilations which are de-
ficient in rose, and which may have more impaired
to them without Inconvenience. But it is not as ia
vorable to compilations that are more red than rosy
nor to those that have tint of orange mixed with
brown, because the red they add to this tint will be
of brick red hue. In the latter case, dark green
will be less Objectionable than delicate green.
yellow DRAPERY.-Yellow imparts violet to fair
skin, and in this view it is less favorable than the
delicate green. To those skins which are more vel.
low than orange, it imparts white but this combi-
nation is very dull and heavy for fair complexion.
When the skin is tinted more with orange than yell
low, we can make it roseate by neutralizng the yell
low. 1t produces this effect upon the black-haired
type, and it is thus that it suits brunettes.
VIOLET DRAPERIEs.-Violet, the Complementary of
yellow, produces contrary effects; thus, it imparts
some greenish yellow to fair complexions 1t aug
ments the yellow tint of yellow and orange SKINS
The little blue there may be in a complexion it
makes green. Violet then, is of the least favor
able coors to the skin, at least when it is not suf
ciently deep to whiten it by contrast of tone.
BLUE DRAPERY.-Blue mparts orange, which is
susceptible of aayihg itself favorably to white and
the light flesh tnts of fair compilations, which have
Already more or less determined tint OF this color
Blue is, then suitable to most blondes, and in this
case justfes its reputation. 1t will not suit bru
notes, since they have already too much of the
orange
ORANGE DRApERY.-Orangc is too brilliant to be
elegant; it makes fair compilations blue, whitens
those which have an orange tint, and gives green
hue to those of a yellow tint.
WHITE DEAPERY.-Drapery of lusterless white
such as cambria muslin, asserts we'll with fresh
complexion, of which it relieves the color; but
it is unsuitable to compilations which have disa
grceable tint, because white always exalts all colors
by raising their tone; consequently it is unsuitable
to those skins which, without having this disagree
able TINT very nearly approach it. Very light white
draperies, such muslin, plated point lace have
entirely different aspect.
BLACK DRAPERT.-Black draperies, lowering the
tone of the coors with which they in juxta-po-
son, whiten the skin; but if the vcrmillion rosy
parts to certain point distant from the drapery,
it will follow that, although lowered in tone, they
appear relatively to the white parts of the skin
tguous to this same drapery, redder than if the
tiguity to the black did not exist.

HOME MANAGEMENr-Though the art of managing
house may at first sight seem very simple affair,
yet there are very few people who do it well. Most
women do often dislike the worry of over manage
ment almost as much as neglect. The great art is
to hit the happy medium quietly, and to keep the
servants to their duty without scolding them 1t is
great point to live always in the same manner as
regards STYLE to have the cloth laid carefully when
alone as when there is company. When this is the
case, wife feels afraid of her husband bringing in
an unexpected guest and it is gratifying to hus-
band to find guest of this kind received quietly;
whereas, nothing be more disagreeable to hus-
band than to see his house thrown into confusion,
his wife cross, and his servants scrambng change
the things laid on the table; and in short, every
thing going wrong, simply because he had asked
friend to dine, without giving day twos notice
of his intention to do so. 1t would be in better
taste to allow the stranger to sit down to a meal
served as roughly country laborer's in howell,
than to attempt to receive him with extempore fine
ry for the awkwardness and blunders o. the serv-
ants will soon show him the real state of the case.
