A novelty in problems for the woman with too
much flesh comes in a report from Paris that in
gowns of certain colors flesh seems to shrink, In
others to expand. A subdued shade of peacock
blue, plum color, and olive green, with black. of
| course, are announced as the colors under which
flesh seems least ostentatious. while Wedg.
wood blue. pale gray. and almost any shade OF
red are to be avoided sedulously. In the way OF
trimmings and light tints, orange. yellow, light
blue. and cerise should not DO used. Mauve and
the higher tints of green are the two colors that
in decoration about the throat and shoulders
are especially helpful in diminishing the effect
of flesh.

The Capital City Wheelmen held a

rooms. The rooms are now assuming
proper shape, the new furniture and

The Furnishing Committee has not

SO this week Grill work has been
placed in the windows and beneath it
danask draperies with bouquet tables
with growing plants. BY the kindness
of Mr.. Mcdonald a very fine piano has
been placed i'm the main room, whlcn
is now warmed by handsome heater
register, the stove having been remoV-
ed. The main room has been carpeted
and the smoking room will be similarly
fitted this week.
Draperies have been placed over and
around the door between the two rooms.
Arm and easy chairs have been provid-
ed, cystal flower holders and table
sCarfs and neat damask covers for the
tables. John Breuner has presented the
club with a handsome iron worked
piano lamp and Joseph Thieben yester-
day sent with his compliments a crystal
water set, while Charles E. Wright do
| mated three oil paintings.
BY the close of this week, when all is
done that is intended, the rooms will be
exceedingly creditable. Lockers and a
tepid shower bath are to be put in for
the racing section; new locks for the
| club rooms and wheel house with new
| keys for all the members are to be sup
| piled.
The club will have spent two-thirds
of its treasury when it has completed

have been extravagant, having added
r0thing to it's rooms that it not modest,
