CONTRAST OR HARMONY.

Consciously or unconsciously, the
tendency is to be ruled by contrast in
the decoration and furnishing of ones
house, says the Brooklyn Eagle. II
one has mahogany furniture one is in
clined, and very naturally and justifia-
bly, to emphasize it's rich tones by a
soft green or light colored wall for
contract; with old oak, one would have
a red or blue wall paper for the same
reason. Cine contrasts purple with
amber, rose with green, cream or ivory
with some delicate but decided coloI
from a kind of instinct that contrast
means variety and variety gives inter-
est The instinct is by no means
wrong, for judicious contrast can
hardly fail to be pleasing, and we have
natures own warrant for making use
of contrasts, her own being more var.
led than those of the kaleidoscope in
their endless combinations and read
justments of color. Still, there are oc-
casions, on which monotone is to be
chosen rather than several colors, and
this is particularly the case where
rooms of limited size have to be dealt
with, IN which variety too strongly
insisted upon, would prove destructive
to anything like restfulness OF erect
An instance that may be recalled as q
convincing case in point Is that OF 9
diningroom in which the furniture was
of particularly fine mahogany of just
the tone wherein a deep, rich note OF

larly happy choice, for the latter was
of delicate shade of plain red. This
as 1t were, drew into ITSELF the red
of the mahogany, so creating beau
tiful harmony of color, and giving an
effect of space to the room. Another
successful Illustration of this principle
was to be seen in the drawing room OF
the same house, which was papered
with an exquisite French silk paper In
a soft shade of green. A choice col

china formed one Of the chief adorn.
ments of the room, enshrined in cabi-
centuate the coloring of the porcelain.
in the opinion of some. a background
of rose or Of dark colored velvet OF
silk was called for. Here, again, how
ever, the advisability of monotone was
demonstrated. and the lining selected
for the cabinets was q Drocade OF the
same shade of green as the wall pa
per. The eye was thus directed with
out distraction to the lovely colorina
of the china, while, again, an effect OF
space was obtained which is but too
seldom thought of in the ordinary
medium sized room. Touches of sub
dued rose or clear ivory were of course
introduced in the upholsteries and ac-
nessoIaes, serving, however, purely
as a foil to the predominating green
which impaired to the room its charm
of restfulness and yet gave the fullest
value to every detail of its ornaments.
Where broad spaces. dema nding eff
fective color and striking decoration,
have to be treated, contrast is an in
valuable auxiliary, but examples such
as those just given prove the conten-
ton that, in many cases, harmony and
unity of effect are of equal or even of
greater worth.

The Tone of Voice.

1t is not so much what you say.
AS the manner in which you say it;
II is not so much the language you use.
AS the tone in which you convey it.
The words may be mild and fair.
And the tones may pierce like a dart:
The words may be soft as the summer
air.
And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from the inner
self,
And reveal the state of the heart.
Whether you know it or not,
whether you mean or care,
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate,
Envy and anger are there.
Then would you quarrels avoid,
And in peace and love rejoice,
Keep anger not only out of your words.
But keep it out Of your voice.

en-skin daintily painted and frightened
with spangles. The old-fashioned ear
rings, long enough almost to touch the
shoulder, have many of them been
broken up to make other ornaments or
exchanged for up-to-date trinkets of lit
tie value; but anybody who has a WELL
shaped pair of antique earrings can
utilize them now by making them adorn
the loose ends of a long chain. An
tique pendants of every sort are the
hight of fashion: they are worn upon
slender chains so as to rest upon the
bosom. In short, with a little ingenu-
ity. anything really old can now be
turned to account, including little pieces

Her New Vocabulary.

She possessed a mind discerning,
That was stored and crammed will
learning,
And her thoughts, forever burning,
She could suitably express.
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
1 was really quite astounded
AS I listened, 1 confess.
1t was rather an infliction,
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance of diction,
Each precise and polished phrase,
And the beautiful selection
OF the words and their connection
And her most correct infection
They were quite beyond all praise.
But / saw her very lately,
And she did not talk ornately:
All that language Suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying: "Bessums diddums!
Where de bad old pin got hiddums
In her muzzer's p'ecious kiddums?''
To the baby in her lap.

HOW TO GET COLOR.

To take mile run daily, as a man
in training would do it, is the best
way in the world for a girl to get color
into her cheeks, and sparkle into her
eyes, says the New York Sun.
IF girls would turn their attention
to running. they would find it the
most exhilirating pastime in the
world, as well as one of the most
healthful," says an authority on ath-
letics. Besides adding roses to .he
cheeks and inches to the lungs, run
ming is the stout woman's best re-
source
Let her take a brisk run daily, be-
ginning with a few yards, and getting
up to a mile or Whereabouts and she
will not need to resort to a diet-that
most melancholy and depressing meth
cd Of reducing avoirdupois."
If run cannot be taken daily out
of doors, the running track found at
every we'll equipped gymnasium should
be utilized. A run out of doors, how
ever, is the ideal practice. for fresh air
is one of the important factors of the
sport. 1t is fresh air that gives a
girl bewitching color in her cheeks and
purif1eS every drop of blood in her
body.
After little practice a girl can run
half a mile without stopping. Then let
her pause for a two-minute rest before
doing the next half mile. Run briskly,
but not at top speed.
Without question, one of the best
exercises in the world for girls is rum
ming. 1t contributes for one thing that
elasticity without which grace is i'm
possible, and spurs every bodily func-
ton to it's appropriate duty.
Other things being equal, the girl
who knows how to run, and does run,
will outclass in general attractiveness
the girl who does not. She will carry
hereelf more gracefully. Her pose
will be easy, she will be better set up,
and generally better able to take care
of herself in society or out of it.

Men OF the other Day.

A short time ago four men were seen
In Pine street, New York, near the sub
treasury, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"How's that for an equalized political
Quartet?' remarked veteran newspa-
per man to well known dry goods
merchant who has lived In New York
city ever since he was born, sixty-two
years ago. "Who are they?" was the
merchants rejoinder. Face of the
small man Is kind O. familiar The
newspaper man collapsed. The quartet
was AIonzo B. Cornell, once governor;
William f. Sheehan, once lieutenant
governor; Hamilton Fish, twice speak
er of the state assembly, and the small
man" was once secretary of war, Dan
Lamont. OF course, now, Fish is Unit
ed States assistant treasurer and will
be known for awhile, for he is again
a man of today.
Quite recently United States Senator
Tom Plat was seen shaking hands
heartily with a white haired gentle
man on Fifth avenue Everybody knew
Plat, because he is man of today.
That's Edward Murphy, Jr., Of Troy"
remarked a passerby, pointing to the
white haired man. No person remem-
bered that he was Chauncey Depew's
predecessor as United States senator
from this state
1t happened one evening that three
men were at the same theater in New

being only out Of Office eighteen

As in other years, the first fall suits
are strictly tailor made affairs. They
are relief to the eye after the over
ornamentation OF the summer frocks
The long skirt coats seem to have
settled themselves for the winter, but
they have lost even the pretense Of
stole or shoulder cape. The seams are
generally strapped in corset fashion.
They are single breasted, with hip
and breast pockets, and the v neck Is
sharply pointed and finished with q
narrow coat collar of the material or
velvet.
The extremely plain up and down ef-
feet of these tailor made suits Is not be-
coming to every one, so that the box
plated coats, which suit underdevel-
oped figures. will still be used.
The latest of these have immensely
long skirt coats, extending almost to
the hem of the skirt. They are fasten-
ed down the front as far as the waist
line by silk cord loopings over double
row of buttons. These buttons are a
decidedly striking feature Of the suit.

In Memory of John Adams.

The Angel of Death has again
come in our midst and taken
away a dutiful son, loving broth
er and faithful friend. His life
was short, only seventeen years,
but in that time he won count
less friends in whose hearts his
memory will dwell forever. No
word can be spoken of him ex-
cept in praise for he was an ex-
ample worthy of being followed.
In his home or at his work he
was the same, boy liked by
every one. During his illness
he bore all patiently and did not
complain and when the end came
he was not afraid. When the
sad news reached his friends
that he could not be with them
much longer a dark cloud seem
ed hanging over every thing.
All that day before he died you
could see two and three of his
friends at time going to see
him. As sick as he was he had
a kind word and pleasant smile
for each one. Dear friends, do
not weep for him for we know
that he has gone to join the an
gel band in heaven. Sleep on,
Dear John, until that happy day
when we shall all meet in that
better land.
