And we that have red hair must choose ever
in color and hue the deeper tints of reddish
brown that modify and make glorious the
brightness of our tresses. We that have
fiorid compilations may wear shades of plum
and heliotrope, and with care certain
shades of gray having pinkish tint.
We that are stout, alas! have no alterna-
tive from dark, subdued colors, avoiding all
eccentricities of dress and conspicuous
adornment. We must wear few Jewels, Sc
we're styles, high coiffures, and renounce the
vanity of tight gloves. The artists never
failing rule in color choosing is: Wear only
those tints whose duplicates may be found
in the hair, the eyes, or the complexion.
The accompanying "veste de matin" is an
iron gray cloth, with decoupees basques and
wide facings. The trimming is of narrow
black velvet ribbon.
1t is an interesting and anomalous fact
that as black becomes more disliked and
discarded for mourning wear the love of it
for ordinary Dress particularly among
young people, becomes more pronounced. A
few years ago anyone wearing black at
wedding would have been regarded as a bird
of i'll omen, but the present Lady Dudley,
at wedding, in a daring disregard of old
time superstitions, surrounded herself with
plumes on their big black Tuscan straw hats
and drove away in a travelling gown of gray,
whose "points, :" if one may be allowed the
term, were black. Since everyone must
wear the somber color, let fair women here
by know that they will look younger and
tairer in dead, lusterless materials like wool
or velvet, while brunettes require the sheen
of satin or gloss of silk to wear black to ad-
vantage.
Every one must remember too, that
cheap black is an abomination in the eyes
of men and vexation to the soul of wo-
men. 1t will not wear and does not pay.
Another thought in this connection The
black hat is to be supplemented with
cream veil of sprigged lace, which will be
distractingly becoming to brunette beauty.
Swagger girls are going without candy now
for the sake of having the genuine point
d'Alencon yelling, but only con1oisseur
could distinguish the difference between the
real thing and the Brussels net imitation.
So firm hold have these wells taken on the
other side that woman inquiring in
smart Brussels shop for black veil was
told lottily 'fhat black veil was now so
demode that madame must try elsewhere if
she would procure one"

Viewed as Investments Purely.

The Great Northern has for several years
past had good solid income, ranging from
9270, 900 to ESQ, 900 year, the rate Of in
crease being merely fractional. In the same
period the Commercial Cable receipts have
increased nearly 100 per cent. In 1888 the
gross receipts of the company were 81, ,189,-
600; in 1890 they had grown to S1,931, 900,
and this year they will probably be another
100000 up. Since 1888 they have more
than doubled themselves, and from this
point of view the Commercial's7 per cent
dividend should be obviously worth to an
investor much more than the stationary ~
per cent of the Great Northern. At all
events, the two form an interesting couple,
and throw a very favorable light on each
other.
The figures summarized above may be
more closely compared in the following
table:

The women of California have installed
the widow of John C. Fremont, the famous
pathfinder, IN pretty little home in the
heart OF an orange grove in Los Angeles as
an expression of their love and gratitude to
the man who did so much preliminary work
toward the work of building up the magnlh-
cent Commonwealth of California. 1t is
just about year since it became known
that Mrs. Fremont and her daughter were
practically without home, and the effort
was commenced to provide her with one
and the means of maintaining herself in it
with comfort, and all has been accomplished
save the payment of small amount on the
house.

the ice until it melts out hollow sufficiently
deep to support it. Cover platter with
fine ferns and put the ice in among the

One of the Curiosities in Finance.

The parallel between these two great
cable systems is a curiosity in finance. 1t
runs step by step through everything down
to the very dividends they pay. Last year
the Great Northern Company distributed to
its shareholders II shilling 2 pence per
share, making, about N per sent. AS is
we'll known the Commercial Company is
now paying quarterly dividends of ~ per
cent, or Z per cent per annum. But the re-
semblance suddenly stops here and star
tling discrepancy makes its appearance.
Great Northern e10 shares have market
value of G19, which represents premium
of 80 per cent.
On the other hand, Commercial Cable
shares are quoted in New York about 12O
and in London are nominally 123, but with
out sellers. Here the premium is only 20
per cent, an odd contrast to the Great
Northern Company's 80 per cent on practi-
cally the same kind OF stock Outside of
the market there is 70 justification what
ever for such widely different values The
Great Northern pays, it is true, half per
cent more than the Commercial, but that
small advantage is offset by various other
considerations The Commercial, being the
younger enterprise of the two, has younger
and better cables None of them are older
than 1884, while the Great Northern cables
are of all ages from 1884 back to 1868. In
another important respect the junior is the
better of the two, its traffic being by far the
more nropressive

Every woman adores love letters, and
here is an extract from one embodying such
high ideal of womanhood that every girl
and woman ought to paste it among her
scrap book treasures: "There is no woman
like you in this wide world. Who else has
so much talent with so little self-conceit; so
much reputation with SO little affection, so
much literature with so little nonsense: so
much enterprise with so little extravaganza;
so much tongue with SO little scold; so
much sweetness with so little softness; so
much of SO many things and SO little of so
many other things?" The letter was writ
ten many years ago by the Rev. DIR. Stowe
to his famous wife, Harriet Beecher Stowe.
