Philosophy in Clothes.

according to good authority, there
.re important scientific facts which
should be carefully considered by each
Individual before making a selection of
.pring and summer raiment. We can
NOT be certain that color is suitable
because it is fashionable or apparently
Incoming to our style of beauty. or
b,tb. According to the latest philoso-
rhv. which is a branch of the study of
human nature, We are very likely to
make grievous mistakes which NAV
prove DETRIMENTAL to our success in
all matters, social, business or domes-
tic. The first question is, "Are We mag
nrtic or electric?' Having disco cred
ourselves in either class, or both. as
sometimes happens, a great variety of
sub bclassifications, with an infinite
number of proportionate combinations
of various chemical qualifications. then
confront us. 1t is understood in the
beginning that il is better to be mag
netic than electric, and every effort
should be made to counterbalance
these electric qualities by developing
the magnetic.
Our chemical composition has great
dead to do with our disposition. since
some colors are found depressing. For
instance, black is depressing to almost
everybody. 1t should then be worn
only by those people who need toning
down. Others who are very vivacious
may do better in neutral colors, such
as v hite or gray. This in lucky. as gray
j., quite the fashion this spring. All
electric people can thus follow this
fashion with great benefit to themselves
and to to those with whom they come
in contact. These colors are called
neutral because they contain the light
ct of dyes and the effect is the light
est. Black goods is always heavier
than any other color in the same ma
tarial. The weight and warmth of the
goods are therefore dependent par
TALLY upon the color.
The heavy dyes containing cheml-
Gals which do not form good combin-
alton with the chemicals of our bodies
often poison us, especially il we become

fore very bad for many people, while it
acts as tonic for others. All chemi-
Gals cannot be mixed together with
salty as any chemist knows. We may
not know what is the matter with us
when we feel irritated or tired when
ever We wear certain dresses. but it is
very likely TO be the color which pois-
ons us. Many people, for instance,
cannot wear black underwear for this
reason. Others have to be very care
ful what color is worn about the neck.
Warmth increases our chemical com
bination, develops it, and takes up
with strong attraction any chemical
dye in our clothing. Velvets and silks
contain more dye than any other goods,
and the effects of certain colors in
these materials are therefore marked.

Soft aud light materials should be
worn next 10 the body. Electric per
sons should not wear too much warm
clothing. Magnetic persons are much
more sensitive to the weather and to
social conditions. Flannels can be
worn only by persons who need more

should not wear broadcloth, fiannels.
