Danseuse Behind the scenes.

Now let US view the ballet from be.
hind the scenes. Here is danseuse who.
with radiant smiles, passes from the
foyer, dashes on to the stage, which she
traverses in four revolving leaps, executes
q pas before the footlights, salutes the
public most winningly amidst thunder
of applause, and turns to walk up the
stage toward the wings" And the
moment that her back is turned to the
public the smile vanishes, her face be-
comes. serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she
passes us we see that she is painting for
breath and bathed in perspiration. And
by the time she has finished dancing she
.gill be so worn out that she will scarcely
have strength enough left to crawl up
stairs to her dressing room, where she
will need to be rubbed down and tended
like an overtaxed race horse. This is the
reality, the reverse Of the medal. -Theo-

Harmony of Color and Complexion.

Harmony of Color and Complexion.
The artist will employ for a brunette
brilliant yellows and splendid reds A JON
quil>colored ribbon, a scarlet camellia in the
black tresses, a poppy colored bodice, par
TALLY softened by Chantilly lace, will give
dashing character to the figure so decor
ated, and instead of diminishing its effect,
will add to it new force. But if we have to
deal with a delicate brunette with slightly
jaded features, or a brunette whose skin Is
comparatively fair and eyes of a velvety
black, we must no longer make use of
striking ana decided colors Here, on the
contrary, soft colors should be employed,
especially pale blue, because that is the
shade which approaches nearest to white,
without having its rawness.
If the hair of a blonde be golden or red. ID
ought without doubt to be accompanied bv
its complementary color, dark velvet bon
net, tuft of violets in the hair, deep lilac
dress, Will go with it marvelously well.
There is another color which suits all shades
of red hair-green Of a medium intensity.
If the complexion of the blonde be delicate
and fresh, an orange, turkey or ruby red
will set off the freshness and delicacy partly
by similarity, partly by contrast Womer
who are placed, so to speak, in the hall.
shades of color, may wear either what suits
brunettes or blondes, provided the tones Of
their dress and ornaments be subdued in
proportion to the degree of warmth in thei,
complexion. Pure yellow or deep red would
i'll suit chestnut hair, even if dark; but half
tints, such as pale yellow, maize, deep vel
low, turquoise, blue and hay blue, would
har' 2onize well with the neutral character
character of these natural colors.
As to those who have ash-coIored hair.
and skin in keeping with it, eyes blue as the
sea or sea green, their delicate and extreme
softnesS calls for half-warm tints, with sug
gestlons of neutral grav or slash;ngs of pale
blue. Black velvet gives them fairnsss
without detracting f.om the distinction
and delicacy which are the characteristics
OF their complexion, and pearls form in
their ornaments happy consonance, pro-
vided that their cold color is relieved by one
that Is decided, tastefully used and con-
centrated within space, such as a polished
but uncut garnet, ruby or a trinket Of

THE POWER OF PRAYER.
The Story of the Blind Man OF
Jericho

Rev. d. J. Burrill last evening
preached from Mark X. 1862.
A group of pilgrams on their way
from the north to attend the Passover
at Jerusalem, as they approached the
gates of the old town Of Jericho, where
beset by baggars who cried: "Alms!
Aims, in the name of the most
high GOdw The pilgrims entered
and passed the night in Jericho.
The next morning, as they resumed
again fell upon their ears. One of
them in particular. well known by rea-
son of his blindness. was exceedingly
vociferous. He had learned over night
that Jesus, the Prophet of Nazareth,
was among the pilgrims, and it was re-
ported of Him that He could open blind
eyes. No sooner had he assured himself
that the Wonder Worker was approach
ing than he began to cry: "Jesus,
thou Son of David, have mercy on mer'
In this man we behold the very
climax of misery. He was poor; that
was hard enough to bear. He was
blind; that was harder. But to be
blind in the valley of Jericho was SUI
perlative wretchedness, for this was the,
most beautiful valley in that portion of
the world, famous for its palm groves,
its vineyards, its rose gardens; its very
name meant fragrance. He detected
the odors of balsam and almond blossom
and wondered, but saw nothing. so,
dark, dark, dark. amid the blaze of the
moon; irrevocably dark, without all
hope of day"
What vivid type of the unregener-
ate soul-the soul that, dwelling in the
midst of eternal verities and heavenly
visions sees nought but material things!
Observe now the three attitudes of
Jesus with respect to this man.
First-He passed by. AT this point
we emphatize the thought of opportu-
nifty. Every man in the world has "a
fair chance" of salvation. At some
time or other Jesus of Nazareth passeth
by.
Second-Jesus stood still. What was
