-o' Not only in painting, but also in dress
and furniture hafInpny Of colors is Of
primary Importance, II we;wish to pro-
duce a pleasurable impression on the eye
and mind of the beh6lder. This har-
mony is shown both In the blending and
in the contrast of. colors. Its possession
would seem to imply an inmate faculty,
which in its power of display bears no
proportion too the talent ce hibitedlii Ia
drawing or Designing OF Of the delinea-
tions OF forms in general. We could IL
lustrate this difference by referring to
the great masters in painting; but for
the present shall make the immediate
application Of harmopy of colors to dress
and upholstery. The subject, Is we'll
treated in recent number Of the jour
nal OF, Applied Chemistry in Paris. .ss

will be modified by those on either side

seen from little distance will be made
In this way to appear not fat, but futcd.
Interference to the effect OF contrasting
or complementary c0lOrs, such as when
blended together give, rise to the percep-
most perfect of these relations is that
existing between blue, yellow and red,

right proportions they become white I;

4. The eye, fatigued with looking At one
color, Is disposed to receive the impress
sion Of its complement, A lady In 4 dry
goods store, after looking at five or six
pieces of red stutfs, begins to complain OF
the bad color OF the last pieces shown to
her; but the color Ia, not bad; 1t only
.ceases to effect her now fatigned eyes as
,yiyitily rs before. The relief would be
found by showing hersomefhing green,

Violet Is only suitable fol, dress when. 1t
Is very deep In tone, and oybe worn by
those who wist to have the complexion
whitened byn contrast. Blue imparts
orange, which enriches white complex
ions and light fresh tints; 1t also, of
course, improves fine yellow hair of
blondes. Blue, therefore, Is the stand.

A lady would do we'll to trim q, yellow
bonnet with violet or blue, and green
bonnet with rose-red or white flowers,
and u follow the same general idea In
grouping the colors Of drees., The same
Idea should be carried out in the busi-

TOO much light; red and violet, ~ dam

Cheveroul, the authority on this subject,
recommended only yellow and light
tones Of green and of blue. Yellow com
blnes well with mahogany or walnut
Mrniture, but spoils the look Of gliding.
Light green suits well both with wal
nut and gliding. The same can be said
of light-bIue, which has the additional
advantage of combining better with
yellow and orange woods, and is,, there's
Tor good for drawing rooms. "A gray pat
tern on awhile ground Is strongly re-
commended. AS n general thing, the
color Of the coverings of fthe ciialrs should
be complementary TO the prevailing cole
or OF the paper hanging. The window
curtains should be of the color of the
chairs, having fringes of the color oflthe
paper hanging The carpet should be
chosen by the sameirule, it6give distinct
ness IN the effectsof the furniture; green
and black being better dominant eolors
under mahogany or walnut than red,
