ventions." Edison and Adams were
passing along fremont row, when
they noticed a crowd in front of two
dry goods stores, and stopped to see
what was the matter. 1t happened that
these were rival establishments, and
that each had received a consignment
of stockings which it Yas eager to sell.
One would put out sign stating that
this vast commercial emporium had five
thousand pairs of stockings to dispose
of at the paralyzing price of twelve
cents pair, an announcement which
invariably wound up with: mo connec-
tion with the firm next door,"
In a moment the rival house would
follow suit, undertaking the other by
a cent. This went on till the price was
ocWA W onc ctnb 1oT nNt pairs OF SLOCk-

creasing, but contented itself with
jeering and making merry.
Milton and had been agog for some
time, and now he broke out:
Say, Edison, can't stand this. Give
me a cent"
Supplied with this handsome ''finan-
cial basis" he entered the shop, which
was filled with lady clerks, threw down
the cent, and demanded five pairs of
stockings The crowd outside waited
the result.
The young lady attendant surveyed
the customer with magnificent disdain,
picked up the cent, and handed him
Ave pairs of baby stockings.
"Oh," said Adams, II can't use

curt reply. 1--WE don't allow selections

A lady, tastefully and fashionably

appearance. when she pins on corsage

every lady knows the impor lance of blend
ing her colors.
Now gentlemen do not always possess
artistic taste; or if they do, they do not al
ways think of it, A gentleman who never
gave this subject thought. went to flor
list and called for bunch of roses. for his
wife to wear to party. He said. Give
me bunch of these" lovely yellow roses.
His countenance beamed with delight
when he took his package. and, undoubt-
edly, his journey home was a happy one.
Perhaps he imagined he was in the Elysian
fields of courtship days, when carrying
roses to his sweetheart was his greatest
pleasure. He imagined the climax of his
happiness would be reached, when he
handed the bouquet to his wife. But, here
bitter disappointment awaits him, for she
says. ''any color but yellow, for my party
dress is pink
Had he known the color of the dress,
this mistake would not have happened.
When next he calls for roses he says: Il
want corsage bouquet of roses that will 60

will not mar his pleasure this time, for he
carries home bunch of Mad. Caroline
Testout roses; and the lovely shade of pale
green, and the exquisite shade of pink,
blend most tremendously.
A blonde, attired in light blue silk, with
a white lace overdress, means bouquet of
pink roses.
And here is brunette attired in yellow
silk with white lace trimmings, and on the
white lace she places yellow or crimson
roses, placing one in her hair, and carrying
a bunch in her hand. On her cheeks she
wears crimson roses, and her appearance
is bewitchingly beautiful.
Dark blue and Jacquemenot roses please
