Vulnerable fine scratches upon it.
Notice people on the street of a damp,
sloppy day, and you will find that
at least half of them do not wear
rubbers. Some people won't wear

leave them behind are reasons fol
eschewing them.-Shoe and Leather

there Is little or no profit in retailing
sugars, and housekeepers confirm
this by saying that there is small
economy in buying sugar by the keg.

certainly more than 100 years old,

The beauty of dress depends much
upon the harmony of colors. This Is
affected by a combination of the three
primaries, either pure or in combina
ton with each other. Colors are
modified in tone by the proximity OF
other different colors. By ordinary
gaslight blue becomes darker, red
brighter and yellow lighter. BY this
artificial light a pure yellow appears
lighter than white itself when viewed
in contrast with certain other colors.
In this way highly polished brass il
often mistaken for silver. At twi
light blue appears much lighter than
it is, red much darker and yellow
slightly darker.
ColOrs, too, have the power of in
huencing the beholder in various
ways. We speak of warm colors,
like the rosy red flushing in the
northern night" Red is then "a
warm, cheerful and exciting color.
We speak, too, of cold c~olors, like the
leaden gray of threatening Clouds
