GRAY rhe Ruling Color

Gray. there is no doubt, will cons
tinue to be the fashionable color
this winter. Gray, tender, melan-
choly. severe, Quaker, silver, dove,
nun's-gray, in all tones and
shades, from the somewhat dingy
tint very appropriately called
..London smoke" to the pretty
blush gray chrlstened by the
French people "pschutt." Every
day seems to add another name
to the list of grays. "Crepuscule''
is said to be the last shade, though
no doubt, while this fact is being
chronlcled some enterprising chem,
ist or manufacturer is mixing a
little more "smoke' color and a
little less blue in his dye, and is
looking through his French die
tionary to find another name, to
call it by. Everybody just now.

and the weather chilly, is wearing
a gray walking garb of some sort,

eating the prevailing drabness
peculiar to the late autumn sea-
son by DOMINIC the brightest o.

zinc. This most unbecoming, most
"trying" of shades is, for some rea-

wedding or travelling dress. No

a zinc-colored dress and expect to

SHEEP can be made profitable on some
soils, says the Chicago Herald, that are
too poor for cultivation, and as a proof
of this, an Alabama sheep breeder made
