How the Change From ColOred Car
maeDaa 60 Black Was Effected.
It puzzles us often, too, to know how
1t Is that for SO many different occa-
sions black is considered to be the
most fashionable shade for our mascu-
line attire and not merely fashionable,
but the only proper one, for which in
our society there is no alternative. 1t
may be argued, as Ut Is with the silk
hat, that 1t is so severely respectable,
but IL we could accustom ourselves to
the idea the same might be said Of
white, which would have the advan-
tage OF being much less gloomy. Clear
ly the black is an old fashion, and as
for its application to evening dress, In
which 1t is most Of all de rigueur now,
while there was time when our an
cestors might tastefully dress them
selves i'm almost all the colors Of the
rainbow for the evening, the adoption
or black simply came about through q
paragraph In a celebrated novel, and
1t is the latter we have to thank for the
fact that we are not now permitted to
wear augnt but the most solemn gar
ments at the time when we feel, to
say the least, more satisfied with all
about us and the world In general than
at any other period of the day. Bulwer
Lytton's novel, Pelham" was the cul-
prit, and 1t Is letter In this book pur-
porting to have been written by Lady
Frances Pelham to her son that set the
fashion. Lady Frances writes: "Apro-
pos of the complexion, / did not like
that blue coat you wore when last
saw you. You look best In black,
which Ia great compliment, for peo-
pie must be very distinguished in ap-
pearance to do So" The man of the
day read these lines and weighed them
carefully, and what more natural than
that he should straightway come to the
conclusion that black was the one
shade which for evening wear suited
him perfectly? AS soon az he could he
discarded all his colors and took to it,

When Plus Whallen OF Springfield,

he saw his first 1ncandescent lamp.
But he evinced no great surprise. 1t
was not until he went to his room,
where the bellboy had already
switched the current that he noticed
there was no opening In the circular
globe.
He blew upon 1t gently, and was en-
couraged rather than disheartened to
find that II didn't blow back. But
the, encouragement turned to anger
when stronger Whit produced no re-
suit whatever. Mr.. Whallen has
