Chance for the American Tailor.

1t is for the interest of the tradesman that
women's dresses shall be made in such a way
as not to last too long, and in many cases
they seem made so that they will wear out as
fast as possible The price a trustworthy"
dressmaker where such can be found charges
for making plain dress is never less than
$40, and is generally s25. The man or wo-
man has fortune waiting who will engage
competent wortmen ana establish huge re-
tail store for supplying women and school
girls with jackets and gowns of cloth as neatly
made and as we'll finished and well lined as
those now sold to men. There are such estab-
lishments in London. There is nothing more
fixed in the unwritten laws that govern
American trade than that whims should be
paid for, and the tailor gown is apparently
still regarded as a whim.-New York Tribune

coLoRs WOMEN CAN WEAR.

Harmony Between the Individual and the
Apparel Discussed.
That devoted disciple Of Delsarte, Henrietta
Russell, says that the only woman who can
wear black to advantage is the one who has
black eyes, black hair and is fat Most girls
Of 16 could wear black, but there is always
color that each person looks better in than
In black, which she thinks should never be
worn in clothes not even in mourning by
Christians
"Why then, il black is so bad, is it 50 gen
orally wornp the writer asked
"Lying north Of Europe on an island is
city that pretty well rules the world; that
city is under continual fog; now choose a
color to wear on a foggy, dark day, some
thing that won't show dirt and you have
found the reason why sunny India and sunny
America wear black-because they wish to
be so English The wearing of this dismal
hue belongs to modern times Who ever
heard of Greek or an Oriental or an Egyp-
tian in blackl
GAS to harmony between the individual
and the Dress continued Mrs Russell, "you
can make it in three ways; first, by contrast,
which is the way children, savages and un-'
cultured people see colors. A child notices a
bright light because it is different from other
things near it, the savage likes red because
usually he sees only the low tones of woods
and forests about him, and red strikes his
duh observation. People use the primary
colors-red, yellow and blue-because they
are childish, barbaric and uneducated in
color sense.
"The second way Of making harmony is
by the mixture of as many colors as possible
The best example of this kind Of color mix
ture that can think of is "A fifteen hundred
dollar Indian shawl that | saw yesterday and
Millet's 'Angelus, which l saw a few weeks
ago. The prismatic red, yellow or blue are
to these rich combinations as one note struck
on the piano is to full orchestra A mix
ture of color like this brings out by CORE
spondence the many colors that are in the
skin Rich colors, however, must not be
worn by u too delicate skin; its delicate tones
would be killed by contrast with the rich
colors, and the result would be whies or
gray complexion. The same richness of color
can be found in the fade tints of some In
dian or art fabrics, none of the color being
strong enough to iujure the delicate tones.
Ladies who have beautiful butnot a strong
color in their compilations would do well to
choose the colors of their gowns from bou-
quet of faded roses of various colors
1.-THE third way to make harmony is by
graduation. Blue eyes will be bluer if the
blue dress worn is grayer blue than the
eyes; red cheeks will be redder, il the red
dress worn is duller red than the cheeks
Brown hair will have more golden high lights,
II there is gold in the dress, but gold of a
lower tone than the high lights of the hair.
"Choose then your dress with reference to
contrast, lightness or graduation, according to
your type. If there are any yellow tones in
your complexion, wear brown or tawny
shades of yelow-Hee from gray as from

THE LOVE OF LIFg.

IT'S sweet to hear the hunters horn
And deepening cries Of hounds afar
Across the hills where was born
And all the joys of memory are
IT'S sweet to catch the first pale ray
That ushers in another morn,
And sweet to breathe the same old way
The fragrant breath Of early dawn.
"Tis sweet to see a floating cloud
Unfolding fances fair on high,
But sad the dark celestial shroud
That glooms its pathway far and nigh.
TITS sweet to see rose In bloom,
With all its pearly banners flying,
But sad, how sad, TO see its doom
When all the winter winds are signing.
Oh life is sweet, how sweet to live
When all is life and love around us;
But life is sad, how sad 1t is
When life has lost the tie that bound US.
