This Woman Has an Experience That
Made Her Avoid Cable Cars.
There is a Georgetown woman who
is put to great expense for cab fare
every time she comes over to the city on
a shopping tour, for the reason that she
has ~boycotted the cable cars, SAYS the
Washington Post. The reason of this
is a enthusiastically feminine one
She is of rather sallow complexion, and
cannot stand certain lights. One day
she was returning home on the cars,
about hat time in the afternoon when
the sun sends his beams slantward from
the west. Suddenly a male acquaint-
ance approached her, and in agitated
tones inquired if she were i'll.
why, mol never felt better in nv
life" said she. 'Why?!"
We'll, you look so queer" faltered
he, "a kind of sickly green, as if you
had cholera"
Then she noticed hat the sun. shin
ing through the pale green fan lights,
gave to his face just the hue he de-
scribed. And that is the reason why
you couldn't hire that woman to ride
on a cable car to Georgetown in the
afternoon.

Old LOVE

From the perfumed note that 1 found to-day
Traced years ago by her fair white hand,
Rose the last sweet breath Of new-mown hay,
The odor she loved; and again 1 stand
On that ivied porch. where l said adieu
To face that was framed In golden hair,
and its radiant glory a moment threw
Into darkness the moolight shining there
And l thrill again, while the dear gray eyes
Flash bright as a trout. in a stream at play,
When the sunbeams, arrows of light, surprise
Him deep in his haunt on 4 day.
Once more is her voice upraised in song
The Fisher Maid" with It's sad refrain;
l stand on the shore. and ever 1 long
For the that Knocked me in my
pain.
The song IS hushed: on the desolate shore
The waves OF sorrow break at my feet.
But the song Of the mermaid evermore
IN my heart shall echo, low and sweet:
l sit in the shade, while the freight CLEANS
Ga the singers face, as she turns from me
An! never u mermaid seen in dreams
Was half as fair. or Us sweet, as she.
From the ilmy lace that yelled the shrine
OF her pl!sinS bosom. there foated sweet
The oGOr Of new mown hay; twas mine
To breathe Of its Joy for a moment fleet.
And l softly kiss the letter that brings
a remembrance sweet, OF that summer
night;
And my heart in sorrowful silence clings
To a moss-grown grave, and a headstone
white.

The expression in the prayer book,
'kindly fruits of the earth" has for
most persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in significance
now attached to the word kindly from
that used when the expression was
first written. The word kindly in hat
connection meant as nearly as possible
''of it's kind" and the expression
kindly fruits of the earth" meant "the
fruits of the earth each after it's kind"

U S FOR HOMES.
The Painting Should be in Harmony with
the Surroundings.


In frame houses there is, unluckily,
an almost infinite variety of colored
paints. When one passes between the
rows of small and cheaply-ornamented
frame houses which disfigure our sub
urbs and the many parks" which run
for miles beside our railroads, one
could almost wish that paints had new
c: oeen invented. Are our carpenters
and contractors and the buyers of their
wares all born color-blind that they
can endure without suffering the va
ried patches of hideous coloring that
rush past our aching eyes? Red, blue,
green, yellow, and sometimes all four,
or even more, on one luckleSs housed
But the fault is not altogether in the
colors. A red house may be even beau
tiful if the tint be dark and soft, like
that of the sumac berries, and half
hidden in masses of green. But it is
an affront to the eyes when spread
over the boards of a high and much
be-aDgled house broiling on a sand
bank by an unfinished roadway, with
out even a bush to shelter il. The once
much-derided white house with green
blinds seems now to be regaining
favor, and it has at least the advant-
age of making no p%retensions to aught
but neatness, cheer and comfort. With
plenty of green about it, it also is even
beautiful. Besides the white, and the
deep soft red in suitable situations,
there is a good combination of cream
color (real cream, not made with
cnrome-yellOw, but by mixing a little
yellow ochre with a good deal of white
leaG) with white trimmings, and there
are a few tints ofgray or brown which
may be used to advantage, but only in
two. or at most in three shades, and
always at the same color, using the
lightest for the body of the house, and
the darker for trimmings and window
blinds. All attempts at stripping or
panelling are odious. Even after one
has done ones best tt secure softness
and unobtrusiveness of color, one is
impatient for vines to grow, and with
their cool green in summer or chang
ing hues in autumn, or by the delicate
tracery of their denuded stems in
winter, to soften all crudities of out.
