n Chapter on HarmonizinE Dress
with tho Complexion.

OF all colors, perhaps the most
trying to the complexion are the diff
fcrent shades of lilac and purple. The
fashionable and really beautiful mauve
and its varieties are, of course, in
| cluded in this category In accord
ance with the wellknown law of
optics, that of colors, simple or COM
pound, have a tendency to tint sur
rounding objects with faint spec
trum of their complementary color,
those above mentioned, which re-
qulre for their harmony various tints
of yellow and green, apply these sup
Elementary colors to the complexion.
1t IS scarcelv V necessary to observe,
that of all complexions those which
turn upon yellow arc the most un-
pleasant in their efect-and proba-
bly, for this reason, that in this
climate it is always a sign of har-
monizing colors so beautiful in them
selves with the complexion, and SO
avoiding these i'll effects. To Ger.
tain extent, this may be done, and as
follows:
Should the complexion be dark,
the purple tint may be dark also,
because, by contrast, it makes the
complexion appear fairer; if the skin
be pale or fair, the tint should be
lighter. In either case, the color
should be placed next the skin, but
should not be parted from it by the
hair and by ruche of the tulle,
which produce the neutralizing effect
of gray. Should the complexion
still appear too yellow, green leaves
or green ribbons may be worn as
trimmings. This will often neutral
lze lilac and purple colors, and thus
prevent their imparting an unfavor-
able hue to the skin.
Scarcely less difficult than mauve
to harmonize with the complexion is
the equally beautiful color called
magenta" The complementary CO.
lor would be yellow green; ''magen-
ta," therefore, requires very nice
treatment to make it becoming. It
must be subdued when near the
skin, and this must be done by inter
mixture with black; either by dimi-
nishing it's brightness, by nearly
covering it with black lace or by in
PRODUCING the color in very small
quantity only
yellow, also, is difficult color to
harm onize with the complexion. 4
bright yellow, like that Of the butter
cup, contrasts we'll with black, and is
becoming to brunettes, when not
placed next the skin; but pale yellow.
or greenish yellow, suits no one,
especially tAose with pale complex
ions. Its effect is to ditIusc, by con-
trast, purple hue over the complex
ions, and is certainly no addition to
beauty.
BlHe is favorable to most complex
ions; light or sky blue especially so
to fair persons with golden hair;
fuller tints to those who are less fair,
or i'll whom years have developed
some Of the color OF the sere and
yellow leaf peculiar to autumn. It
often happens that, as persons ad-
vance III years, colors which suited
them IN youth cease to be becoming;
pink, for instance, agrees with
youthful complexion and fair skin,
but it does not harmo.;ze with the
yellow tints of more advanced age;
IN this case, either sky-blue, or pure
deep blue, will be substituted with
advantage for pink.

Post Meridian.

The GRO akcrs are not quite extinct
They bore US as of old,
And magnify the ills of life
At least a hundred fold
Because the florid artist, time,
Has tlecked our locks with gray,
They'd have us as luSubrious
And woe-begone as they.
But no, the gentle hand of time
Falls with so light touch;
He seems like some benignant friend,
Who loves us overmuch,
We grow to love him more and more,
And as the years go by,
The thought of parting pains the heart,
That seldom else would sigh.
He leads us by still waters now,
And now by pastures green,
Until the mellow Western light
In beauty bathes the scene.
The slope along the sunset side
No gloomy shadows throws,
And eventide has roster clouds
Than morning ever knows.
Lifo is sort of eager race
For wealth, or power, or fame,
Where he who gains the golden prize,
The other two may claim.
The winning post is just in sight
Spur on the willing mind
One backward look-ah, there they arc.
The boys are close behind.
So let us cherish CHEEKY thoughts,
And with unabated hope,
Give all the powers that manhood brings
Their very broadcst scope.

like dame natures plan,
Who passed me through her infant school
And turned me out man.

MASONIC PASSWORD

Curiosity and timidity are the two
important traits in the character of
Ralph Sloogey. The former quality,
some years ago, made him desirous
of learning the secret of the Masonic
fraternity; but as he had heard that
hot gridirons and pugnacious goats
with sharp horns are made use of
during the ceremony of initiation,
Ralph's timidity warned him that, as
he was not copper -bottomed, he
should first strive to ascertain, if pos
sible, whether buck goats and red hot
spears and gridirons formed indis-
pensable adjuncts in the mysterious
ordeal Of Masonry. To satisfy him
self on this point, he endeavored to
pump an intimate personal friend,
Jacob Sleeton, whom he knew to be a
Mason.
"Now, Jacob" said he, during a
conversation on the mysterious sub
ject, 81 would like to become mem
ber of the fraternity; but, before
doing so, think you ought to tell
me something about them. Do they
really brand you with a hot gridiron?
and If SO, on what part of the body?"
Like all Masons, when such ques-
tions were asked, Jacob would smile
and say, ''After you shall have taken
the three first degrees, Won will know
all about it. | can't answer your in
terrogations.
For q long time Ralph tried to
worm out something concerning the
fraternity; but in vain. On every
possible opportunity he would renew
the attempt, until, at last, Jacob be-
came offended at Ralph's persistency,
and determined to punish him.
Early one morning, as Ralph and
Jacob were hurrying down Grand
street to their respective places of
business, the former renewed his
inquiries.
'I'd give fifty dollars if 1 knew
the signs and password. If you'll
tell me about the pass word and grip,
LII promise to never ask you another
question in regard to the secrets of
Masonry. Come, now, Jacob-you'ye
known me since / was a boy, and
you ought to be aware that if [ am a
little curious, I never blab. will vol,
tell me? Surely you don't doubt
your old schooi-feiiow? Out with
the password, and I promise you
that I'll be as mum as mouse.
Were it not for the sake OF old
friendship, Jacob would have long
before put an end to such imperti-
nent queries; but having failed to do
SO, the inquisitive Ralph imagined
that he would at last be successful in
pumping" his Masonic friend.
When Ralph had completed his
last sentence, which was spoken in a
loud tone, Jacob turned his head.

been overheard by a gentleman who
happened to be walking behind
them
This gentleman proved to be 3

had been dismissed from his position
