The Harmony of Dress.

Though few Of us are so refined as to
find the same entertainment in color
concert" as In the ordinary sort in which
its harmony, which is called its contrast,
as we'll as other harmonizing colors.
Two dissimilar colors which associate
agreeably, as blue and orange, or lilac
and cherry, or even very light and very
dark blue, form harmony OF contrast.
Two colors Of similar disposition when
grouped, such as orange and scarlet,
crimson and crimson brown, or orange
and orange brown, form a harmony OF
analogy.
As n rule harmonies OF contrast are
most effective, being brilliant and decis-
I've, while haEuonies OF analogy are quiet.
These two simple rules will decide you:
/. When a color Is selected that is favor
able to the complexion, it Is best to asso-
cate with it tints which will harmonic
by analogy, since a contrast would di-
minish the favorable effect. 2. When a
color is employed which is injurious to
the complexion, contrasting colors must
be associated with it, as they will neu-
tralize the Objectionable influence.
Take a green that suits blond;
shades a bit lighter and darker Of the
same green will enhance the effect; that's
the first rule. Rule No. 2 may be proved
by the violet, which is unbecoming to a
brunette, but which becomes agreeable II
yellow or orange is added.

duce each others brilliancy.-Cleveland

A brilliant musician, French scholar,

was the impulse, but when she became
the wife of DR.. Paul Boelke, government
medical official, whose interests are
equally and sympathetically her own, the
secret was out.

The Half Crown Boy.

In the life of every youth there comes
a period when he Is growing so fast that
he is awkward, when his clothing hangs
loosely on him, and his arms push
through his sleeves with such haste that
his mother wonders whether a day will
ever come when his hands will look in
proportion to his size. Patience, mother,
and do not emphasize the little difficult
ties incidental to rapid growth by your
comments and criticisms. Tell the boy
when he pleases you that he is your
dearly beloved and let him still have his
share Of the petting he likes. Big boys
need mother love and kisses just as little
ones do. But do not exclaim when he
knocks down a chair in his clumsy prog
ress through the room and refrain from
calling attention to any little forgetful-
ness Of his in company. If you have
made him your companion and treated
him as II he were a reasonable being and
his sisters equal from babyhood on, you
will not need to be fearful about his ultl-
mate coming out just right. He will be
fully grown one Of these days and a
credit to you, and in the meantime make
home happy for him and devote yourself
to his real interests with an eye to the
future. II he likes athletics, so much
the better. A boy whose physical life
is upbuilt by healthful and regular exer-
else will usually make a finer man, men
| tally and spiritually, than will one who
is timid and shrinking and who recolls
from hearty outdoor sports.-Christian

The Care of the Feet.

If women would bestow half the care
upon their feet that they do upon their
faces and hands, there would be little
deal of comfort for the women. beGTdst
their feet are out of sight many women
think their care can be neglected and
then wonder why a walk Of a mile tires
and exhausts them. or course, the feet
are not always to blame, but they are
very often.
Many complaints that women suffer
from for years are due to tight shoes and
high heels. Proper circulation of the
blood is prevented, while headaches, diz-
ziness, shortness of breath and lameness
are often caused through neglecting to
care for the feet.
Few things cause more torture than the
wearing Of shoes that are too small. A
shoe that will allow every toe to have a
place without lying on the top of the next
one is the first essential to comfort and
the proper care of the feet. Then, at
least three times week or oftener,
when possible, the feet should be bathed
and rubbed. About once Il week the nails
should be looked to-, and every night
before retiring the toes should be
stretched out and the feet rubbed for

be advocated If the feet are at all cold.
When the feet are tired, a salt water
foOtbath is excellent for resting them.
For feet that perspire uDpleasantly
water containing n little borax will be
found excellent, and after thorough dry
ing and an alcohol rub the feet should be
well powdered with good boracic acid
talcum powder. A little OF this spOwder
should also be sprinkled about the soles
of both shoes and stockings.
Corns are, fortunately, infrmities which
can be removed. If the corn is a new
formation, pumice stone rubbed on it or
on any other callous flesh, will remove it.
If, however, it is OF long standing and
tender, make a poultice or soft bread and
vinegar Oct the bread soak in the vine
gar for about an hour) and apply it at
night to the corn; in the morning soak
the foot in good warm water for about
ten minutes and the corn will be easy 10

Change the stockings daily-this does
not necessitate that seven pairs Of stock
ings should be worn each week-and
when possible, the shoes as well. Both
stockings and shoes will last longer by
this change and the feet will be inestima-
bly, bcucftcd.-AmeriCan Queen.

smile. "You know that your discharge
