PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS.
Why a WOman's Size Appears to Vary
According to the Color of
Her Gowns.

That the color of a woman's dress
can make her look larger or smaller
is fact that many professional dress
makers now take into consideration.
Dressed in black and dark hues,
stout women look smaller both in the
street and when out walking; and by
use of the same hues, the dimensions
of small people are so decreased that
they appear like dwarfs.
The optical effect of white and light
colors is to enlarge all objects, and
make the stout woman who wears
them almost mountainous in her ap-
pearance. She need not, however,
look dingy and dull, for the rich, dark
hues offered to her for selection are
varied and numberless. Greens and
blues, in their various shades, are bet
ter than reds, giving an effect of re-
pose and distance.
All light-colored materials should
be avoided for the waist. During the
awkward age of girls, between the age
of IL and IA, dark blue or plain red
cashmere or serge is found to be pro-
UucClVc OI t1c UCSU
In choosing colors for dresses, the
complexion must, OF course, be taken
into account. Those with sallow, dark
faces should select clear tints, and
scrupulously avoid glazing bright and
decided hues. Those who possess
clear skins and pale faces may wear all
shades of rose, primrose, buff, light
green, lilac, brown and violet.
Florid persons should wear the tints
that subdue color and give the effect of
distance, such as blue and green. The
most lucky of all girls are those with
fair compilations and a color. To
them, few shades will be unbecoming.
Those with pale compilations should
wear only fresh colors such as cherry
and pink.
Color in dress not only exerts an in
fiuence over the beauty of the wear
er, but also over her health. Dark
colors are found to absorb and give
out smells of all kinds to far greater
extent than the light, and it is for
this reason that professional nurses
are not allowed to wear black dresses.
1t is said that for nurses black cotton
is bad, black wool worse and black
silk the most injurious of all. Some
doctors refrain from wearing black
clothes when visiting patients for the
same reason.
The warmth and comfort of the body
are also affected by Inc color of the
clothes which cover it, white and
hght-colored fabrics rejecting the
heat and black and dark ones absorb
ing it. Black, however, throws heat
off sooner, and white clothing retains
the natural heat of the body longer
than black.-N. Y. Journal.

master passion are. gathered from
her friends. Some of her. critics
assert that when love strikes her
harp she will sing her best songs
and develop the germs of genius so
apparent.
She is nearly "A, and possessed of
physical charms as potent as the in

ingly like the author of "Little
Breeches," and her expression re-
minds one strongly of the secretary
of state. Col. Hay is intensely fond
of his elder daughter and delighted
with her literary success. He has
encouraged her to write since she
was able to hold a pen, and, like Rud-
yard Kipling and Charles Warren
Stoddard, he has an abiding faith in
her future.
