Tins On Colors.


White makes a woman look big, in
nocent, winsome and classic. Clear
white is for the blonde; cream white
for the brunette. 1t Is not the woman
in white who has all the attention, and
the wide-eyed young thing in white,
with a blue ribbon, who captures all
the beaux. 1T added to thy charms,
Andromeda, when. clothed in white.
thou didst traverse the isle Of Seri-
phos."
BLACK suits the fair" Ovid tells us.
1t became Brisels; she was dressed in
black when she was carried of. 1t is
the thinnest color a stout woman can
wear; indeed, the woman who wears
black to best advantage is she who is
stout and has black eyes and hair. 1t
is an echo from Paris that in gowns
of certain colors flesh seems to shrink,
in others to expand. A subdued shade
Of blue, heliotrope, and olive green.
with black, Of course, are the colors
under which flesh seems least osten-
tatious, while wedgewood blue, pale
gray, and almost any shade Of red are
to be avoided. Mauve and the higher
shades Of green are the two colors that
in decoration about the throat and
shoulders are especially helpful in d.
minishing the effect of the flesh.

Chicago Unions Are Wise.

The proposition made by the Chi
cago Masons and Builders Association
to increase the wages of bricklayers
ten cents an hour provided they would
sign an agreement to work for no one
not member of the Contractors As
ISOLATION. will not be entertained by
the union. Exclusive agreements, they
say, caused enough trouble in the past,
and was really one of the causes which
led to the lockout in the building
trades. The Building Trades Council
passed an order forbidding the max
ing of such agreements, as they were
a direct slap at day labor, and the en-
ployers discovered at one time that the
Central Council was corrupt and had
to be destroyed If Chicago was to con-
tinue as prosperous commercial CEN
ter. The council is gone, and the
contractors are still after monopoly
of the work.

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to five drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. 1t is the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.

True luxury to the mind of the aver
age woman consists in not thinking
about clothes at all; in being caught
out in the rain without having to give
thought to ones apparel; in being
able to ring doorbell without consid-
ering whether the brass will leave a
mark on ones glove and so render its
time Of usefulness trifie shorter It's
not the average woman who saves her
gowns until they're hopelessly out Of
date and then cuts them down for he-
daughters; it's the exceptional member
of her sex who economies in this fool
ish fashion.

The Wife.
I could have stemmed misfortune's tide,
And borne the rich ones sheer
Have braved the naughty glance of pride
Nor shed single tear;
/ could have smiled on every blow
From lifes full CULVER thrown.
While I might gaze on thee, and know
l should not be alone.
1 could-I think I could-have prooked,
Fen for time, that thou
Upon my fading face hadst looked
With less of love than now;
For then l should at least have felt
The sweet hope still my own
To win thee back, and whilst / dwelt
On earth, not been alone.
But thus to see from day to day
Thy Frightening eye and cheek.
And watch thy life-sands waste away,
Unnumbered. slow. and meek:
To meet thy smiles of tenderness.
And catch the feeble tone
OF kindness, ever breathed to bless.
And feel I'll be alone.
To mark thy strength each hour decay,
And yet thy hopes grow stronger.
AS. filled with heavenward trust, they say
Earth may not claim thee longer;
Nay. dearest. tbs too much-this heart
Must break when thou art gone;
1t must not be; we must not part;
l could not live alone.
