wore a yellow or black apparel, without

preference for white showed a coquette

principles of color, as already laid down
namely, that red and yellow excite;

ut Is a mistake to suppose, as many
do, that Burns was altogether given up
to gallantry and earousal," writes Ar
thu Warren in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. HE was not, and he never pre-
tended to be, an exemplary character.
Whatever he did he did with all his en-
ergy. He was a creature Of emotions
and strong passions, His nature waH
undiscipHned. The right influences for
the discipline of such a character as
his were but seldom around him. The
influences he knew were all too severe
and repressive on the one hand, or all
too lax on the other. He was subject
to moments of fiery enthusiasm, and to
days Of acute remorse.. But, for all
that, he worked, and worked hard. He
used to say that he could not conceive
a more notifying picture of human life
than a man seeking work. Make work.
