prodlgal with for the benefit Of wearied
vision.

or OF Berlin. nature wasn't thinking

fuse verdant display and that her col
or scheme was carried out absolutely

shades, green glasses. green decora-
tions and green umbrellas are all

He says that each OF the colors tires
n different set of nerves of vision. and
therefore looking at one particular col
or saves one set OF nerves at the ex-
pense Of another The best method.
he says, is to dim all Of the rays of
light by smoked or gray glasses. which
rest all of the optic nerves.--New York
