Color Schemes.

The study of colors and their effects
in combination is very curious one,
which many women would do well to
give some heed to- especially when the
house is being thoroughly renovated.
There are some colors that are cheer
full, refreshing, that give an expansive
effect. Others are depressing and give
a cramped-up appearance to a room.
If a room be large and 1t is desired to
make it appear smaller and more cozy
it can be done by having the ceiling
and walls decorated in dark shade
and the draperies in harmony. II
blue be the predominating tone Of a
room it will have the effect of making
the room look larger than 1t is and 1t
can be introduced in some degree in a
small room for that purpose. 1t must
be used judiciousiy. however, for II 1t
be in excess or of wrong shade 1t
will give a room cold, cherries APP
pearance. Red makes no difference in
regard to size, but it always gives the
idea of warmth and comfort. 1t will
always accentuate any tint OF green
that turks in the other colors en-
ployed. Red in some tone or another
might be used to advantage in room
that was not lighted from without, or
in one that had north light. On the
other hand green should never be
used under such conditions, but only
where a room is powerfully lighted or
a flood of sunshine penetrates. This
serves to light up the yellow tint that
would be otherwise inappreciable and
gives a cheerful color tone Much can
be done to promote health and hap
py, cheerful disposition by proper
regard to the tone in which the rooms
of house are furnished.

The Correct Figure.

The fashionable figure seems to be as
silhouette as ever, and waist lines are
disregarded in the effort to get gen.
eral slender effect. Corsets are begin
ming to be an expensive necessity, and
women who have hitherto contented
themselves with ready made article
OF moderate price are now rushing to
the high-priced places, for only there
can they get corset fit to wear under
the new gowns. There is some JUS
tice in the big prices that are charged,
for the best whalebone has to be used,
and the most careful fitting and work.
manship are required. The latest cor
sets now have two garter straps, one
in front and one on the side, more to
keen the corset we'll down in place than
to hold the stocking up. The chemise
is, of course, tabooed, and well fitting
corset cover protects the corset. A
dainty little garment for this purpose
is made Of strips Of colored silk and
white lace entredeux, says the New
York Tribune. An elaborate petticoat
is also an impossibility. 1t is doubtful
If many petticoats, beyond short,
thin underskirt, are worn now, but
with the autumn, thicker underskirts
will be a necessity. At place on the
rue de la Paix, they are making these
of satin, as close as possible to the
figure, and trimmed with one shaped
ruffle, narrow in front and quite deep
in the back. Over these the skirts hang
beautifully and, as it is not the fashion
to lift the dress now, the plainness OF a
petticoat makes no difference. At this
shop they also show "knickers" OF
satin, made dainty with silk ruffies.

Married women's Careiessness.

Philadelphia Times: A man would
Infinitely prefer to be disappointed In
his wife's intellect than in her personal
appearance, If he has to be disillusioned
on either one point or the other after
marriage, and yet how many women
take chances with their marital hap
piness by drifting into slovenly or
careless ways, which are sure to dis
gust a man, no matter how much in
love he may be. Do we not all of US
know some such instance in our own
circle Of acquaintance where a pretty,
attractive girl has degenerated into an
unattractive, untidy woman within
few short years of the time when she
stood at the altar, radiant in the fresh
ness of her youthful beauty, the delight
of her husbands eye and the joy OF
his heart? The first step downward
generally takes the form of curl papers.
All, how many divorces can be traced
directly to the baleful influences OF
these unsightly knobs to which wom-
an SO soon endeavors to accustom her
husband, but when, If she only knew,
arc the thin edge of the wedge that
opens the gap between them. Then
she acquires the wrapper habit and
thinks nothing of wearing this same
nondescript and unbecoming garment
from morning until night. Little by
little she neglects to take her hair out
of papers, reserving this process for
specially important occasions, until her
husband hardly recognizes her in her
holiday hair, minus the disfiguring pa
per wads that have produced the waves
and curls, which he, poor, deluded NOR
tal, once thought were natural. Her
footwear resolves itself into chronic
slippers, as a rule badly run down at
1he heel. and before she Is aware of the
fact herself, she has become absolutely
unsightly rather than the attractive
woman little care would make her.
Do not think that men fail to appre-
ciate all the little personal graces of
the toilet as much after marriage as
before It, The money that is expended
on delicate sachet powder, pretty shoes
and dainty stockings, fetching little
house costume or for the services OF
manicure or hair-dresser may be con-
6emned as awful eXtravagances, but
they are condoned much more quickly
Than the neglect Of personal appear
ance that may save expenditure OF both
time and money, but which wastes that
best possession of married woman
The sincere admiration Of her own hus-
Elnd.

A certain little housekeeper who
does all her own work and yet has the
lily-white hand that one reads about,

black. / discovered that the tomato
can be used D take off this stain, and
since I have found it out l keep one
on my kitchen table and apply it al

A Profitable Scheme Worked by IN In
digent Old Woman.
A respectfully dressed old woman ap-
parently in deep distress was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps OF an
elevated railroad station the other day
Just at the hour when the rush was at
its height. The woman had apparent
ly lost something Of value. She
searched her pockets, shook OF. her
skirts and scanned the ground on every
side. OF course it was not long before
her distress attracted the notice OF pas
sersby. Il have lost my ticket" she
said in answer to the query of man
who stopped for a moment in his rush
for the train. Il don't know what to
do, for l have not nickel with me
and | live away uptown" The man
pulled a string of tickets from his
pocket, tore off one, handed 1t to the
woman and resumed his rush without
waiting for her thanks. But the wom-
an did not follow. She merely moved
across to the flight of steps on the
other side. Here she resumed her
search, with the result that nickel
was transferred to her pocket by a
passing woman. Next she crossed the
avenue and gathered some more nick

The constitutional republic has had a
narrow escape. The majority of 26 is
attributed to the timely Intervention of
NJ. Brisson, who succeeded in stemming
the tide, which, after NJ. Mirman's
fierce onslaught, seemed about to sweep
the cabinet away. The deafening shouts
of "Vive la Commune" and "Assassin,"
with which the Socialists greeted the
Marquis de Gallifet, are considered the
gravest revolutionary symptom which
has occurred in the chamber for many
years.
The victory won by the cabinet as.
sures a strong executive government
until the conclusion of the Dreyfus
courtmartial, but moderate Republic
cans like Ribot declare that the real
danger will come from the Socialists.
who now for the first time participate
in the actual government, who fully
realize their increased power and who
never before have been SO exacting.
Nationalist re~actionists openly confess
that it is through the Socialists that
they hope to destroy the republic and
eventually to win the day.
According to information received at
the ministry of marine, Dreyfus is not
expected to arrive before Saturday or

Miss Frank Floremen of the Black

ing men believe will become the great
est quartz mine in Alaska and British
Columbia. It consists of an ore vein
from 2OO to 600 feet in width and nearly
a mile long. In its course this immense
vein is intersected by Atlin City. The
ledge is a true assure of free milling
ore, with a hanging wall of serpentine
and a foot wall of quartzite. Many as.
says average $88, making it a much
larger affair than the famous Treadwell
mine. if these values continue with
depth. To determine this shafts are
now being sunk.
