Hints to Wise Ones.

A blue-eyed person never looks so blue
eyed as in blue dress or white with blue
cravat, whereas the strong blue of the
fabric might have been expected to dim
the slight blue of the eye. A woman with
remarkably red lips. clad in dull hello
tropo, with amethysts, has all the coral
taken from her mouth, which wears in
stead light heliotrope tint, and with this
pink the pink of her cheek is also touched.
An ordinary or even sallow cheek never
looks so beautifully white as over white
dress, which seems TO threaten to darken
IT. And beautiful as the "esthetic "
colors were in their day. they quenched
and dimmed their wearers to their own
tone. This is not to be easily explained
by any known chromatic rules. Nor can
one say why turquoise blue darkens dark
eyes and adds TO their brightness. Ex-
pertinent and yerifcation should be as
much valued by the woman as by the
Comtist philOsopher.-N. Y. Recorder.
