The suggestion to have board of nsso-
ciated charities is indeed good. and will
doubtless meet with favor. All cases are
promptly reported to this board, aud in that

largely practiced are done away with. 1t is
to be hoped that another winter will find
such an arrangement in Savannah.

Balzac classifies colors as induces Of charac-
ter, In a peculiar manner, not by any means
correct. He says: "Women who wear
black habitually are to be avoided, because
they are suspicious, bad-tempered and
jealous. Those who wear yellow and green
are overquarrelsome, and those who affect
white are couquets. The gentle, thought

themselves in pink. Pearl gray is worn by
women who think the world doesn't do the
right thing by them, and lilac is chosen by
beauties who have passed their prime"
