despite the time-honored tradition that
anyoneA can wear this color. Blue and
even green are much safer selections
sfor8the average woman. The wrong
shade Of brown can e%ffectually take
the light out Of hair and eyes and
make q sallow complexion look its
worst. On the other hand, brown can
bring out all the golden tints- I'M,
brown hair and eyes, and tone down
a sallow complexion. The ordinary
rule is that brown In Its. strongest
shades Is for the brown-eyed girl
and her gown should be chosen to
match her eyes, but It is always well
to try the effect Of the goods against
the face and hair before buying. No
woman with drab or colorless hair
should ever select brown for a cos
tune, except It be n Of q certain
shade Of velvet"

a lovely costume sent from Paris is
Of white yelling. the skirt gathered

bodice Is unlined, but 1t worn ove a

Negro. cunaing Diplomacy

Apropos of a point he desired to
make. Hamilton Mabie told this story
at the Aldine association, the other
evening, of an old negro WHO expert
enced religion, and Of his master.
whose conversation was. punctuated
with profanity. 1t was just after the
Civil war. The negro had been the
colonel's body guard as a slave, and
remained. in that capacity even after
receiving his freedom. He Joined the
Presbyterian church.
Look here, George" said the colonel.
"tell me about this predestination and
the elect. You don't believe your old
master is doomed to hell, do you?
Don't you think he will go to heaven
with the elect?"
Respect and love for the old, swear.
trg master did not overcome the new
lv acquired religion, but there was
cunning and diplomacy in his answer:

A jury decided to-day that an unwel-
come hug constituted damages to the
amount Of lcent, and, accordingly, rem
dered Judgment in that sum against
Richard Langan, who was sued by
Mrs. Lizzie Cecil for forcing his affec-
tions upon her.
Langan Is a retired capitalist. Mrs
Ceci: and her husband rented their
home from him. On the pretense Of
having repairs made. Langan went to
the Cecil home. and made himself 80
agreeable that the oma showed him
a small crucitix.
So far from putting Langan into a de.
vout frame of mind. the sight Of the
cruci1x caused him to place his arm
around Mrs. Ceit's waist. Such is her
story. Langan swore that me merely
brushed by her, and begged pardon for

have elapsed since q housemaid's brush
or duster had touched anything In
Longdean Grange. It was like PAL
ace OF the Sleeping Beauty wherein
people walked as In a walking dream.
The lady Of the house made her way
slowly to the dining room. Here din
ner was laid out daintily and artistical-
ly enough-a gourmant would have
drawn, up to the table with q feeling (
satisfaction. Flowers were there. and
silver and cut glass. china with a his
tory of its own, and the whole set out
on a tablecloth that was literally drop

It was q beautiful room in itself,
lofty, oak panelled from floor to roof.
with a few pictures Of price on the
walls. There was plenty Of cleaning
silver glowing like an argent moo
against q purple sky. and yet the same
sens of dust end desolation every
where. Only the dinner looked bright
and modern.
There were two other people standing
by the table, one a girl, with a hand
some. intellectual face full OF passion
but ill-repressed; the ether, the big,
fair man, known as mi. Charles" AS
a matter of fact, his name was Regi-
maid Henson, and he was distantly re-
slated to Mrs. Henson, the strange chat
elaine of the House of the Silent Sor-
row. . He was smiling blandly now at
Enid Henson. the acknowledgements

I'VE may be. seated, now that madam
has arrived" Henson said, gravely.
He spoke with q certain hooking hu.
mility and q queer, wry. smile OF his
broad. loose mouth that filled Enid with
a %speechless fury. The. girl was hot
hlooGcd-a good hater and a good
friend. And the master passion Of her
life was hatred Of Reginald Henson.
