why ths SNOW Is No. plaek or Rea.

Why is the snow white? is question
frequently asked. Because black snow
would be dangerous. 80 would red or
yellow. These are 'warming-up col
ors," and they change the SUMS rays
to heat. Such snow would soon melt
again and prove very poor protec-
tlon. But white snow throws hack
the sunlight in just the form In which
II receives II. and thus the snow can be
long on the ground. Throw dirt on
the snow, and its dark color quickly
makes it eat its way in whenever the
sun shines on 1t. After a snowstorm,

black velvet straps, covered with EN-

How many of these new jackets have

The Tatler.
 The changes which naturally followed the Kings accession to the throne are where. The old familiar nicknames are forgotten and of necessity more state is maintained, but the King takes advant- age of the comparative privacy of his visit to do with as little ceremonial as possible. As a matter of fact, unless there is shoot on, the royal family are not visible to the guests until nearly lunch time, or perhaps after 1t. They never appear at the general breakfast in the dining room, but take it privately in their own way.
 The dining room is a very fine room of noble proportions. The walls are pam eled with large stretches of tapestry which extend from the floor to the ceil- ins and are worked with representations of Spanish scenes and characters. They present a very handsome appearance. They were a gift to the Prince of Wales from the late King of Spain, the father of the present youthful monarch. During the operations for the putting out of the fire which attacked one of the wings some ten years ago this tapesty was completely drenched with water, and 1t was feared was ruined but 1t was sent at once to London to be dealt with by experts, and was treated so cleverly that it suffered no injury.
 The floor of this apartment is of pol ished oak parquet. At one side stands a handsome, massive sideboard, on which there is fine display of plate, including some presentation and prize cups and vases and some valuable shields. The dining table Is oblong and is so arranged that the King and Queen face one an other, and the principal guests are i'm mediately around them, the younger or
 less important ones taillng off toward the ends. This, however. Is only the din- ner arrangement. Luncheon is generally
 laid on small, round tables accommodate ing about four each. With regard to both these meals. there is a point which the guests do well to bear in mind, and that ia that the clocks d Sdndrngham are all half an hour fast

 The contest for the oldest subscribers of The Advertiser Is attracting much in- terest all over the State. and I have been asked about 1t by many prominent and leading citizens.
