Taffy and Saucer.

During the winter months the farmers
boys and girls have lots Of fun with their
parties, taffy pulls, and such enjoyments,
and considerable humor can be found in
their happy repartee. At one of these
candy parties guest not altogether liked
by some of the gills, unfortunately sat
in a saucer of maple sugar left on a chair
to cool off, and his uncerimonious
departure was the wonder of the
evening. 1t was rather hard on the
young man. and it is doubtful whether
he found anything to end his embar-
rassment in the note he received the
next day from the daughter, saying
that if the ''Mr. D., who sat in the
saucer Of maple sugar last night, will
kindly return the saucer, he will save
himself further trouble. .''-Harperss

The Popular aesthetics of Color.

While blue is pre-eminently and over
whelmingly the masculine favorite, it
is by no means so general a feminine
favorite. The favorite woman's color
standing at the head of the female list,
is red. Roughly speaking, Of every 30
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and 3 for red, while Of every 80 femi-
nine votes 4 would be for blue and for
red. Red and blue are thus much more
nearly equally popular among women
than among men. Other relatively
marked masculine preferences are for
the colors related to blue (blue violet
and violet, and other feminine prefer
ences are for lighter red Tor pink and, to
a. less extent, for green and yellow.
Further men confine their selections to
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and, finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose a
normal than transitional color and a
darker than lighter shade, yet the tend
ency to do so (about the same in the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latter respect. OF ~ men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
2 among the lighter for the most pleas
ing color, while of IL women would
choose among the darker and among
the lighter shades. Professor Jastrov
