HELPS MATCH DRESS TRIMMINGS.

made! NYou must exchange that trim.
ming the first thing in the morning.
The little top may be used to COM
bine colors in a way that will interest
those Of us who care for something
besides dresses, You know that when
white sunlight passes through a glass
prism 1t is split up into light of va
rious colors-red, orange, yellow, green,
blue and violet. Now II you mix all
these colored lights together they viii
combine and form white light again.
So, If you divide the cardboard top
into sections by lines running out
from the center and paint the sections
with these colors the top will look
white when you spin 1t. The expert
ment is troublesome because you must
have just the right shade of each color
and just the right amount, for some
Of the sections must be made much
broader than others.
But there is a simpler and quite as
interesting way of combining colors
with the aid Of the top. Cut q round
piece Of bright yellow paper the size
of the top, make hole little larger
than the pencil in the center, and slit
the paper from this hole straight out
to the edge. Make similar disk of
bright blue paper. Put both disks on
the card and pencil top, and slip the
edge of one where it is slit under the
edge Of the other. Now by turning
the upper disk on the lower you can
hide as much of one and show as much
of the other as you choose
You can make the disk all yellow,
all blue. half blue and half yellow,
one-third blue and two thirds yellow,
and so on, says the Peoples Home
Journal. Pin the disks fast in any
position and spin the top When spin
ming It looks, we will suppose, yellow
and gray. Move the disks so as to
show less yellow and more blue and
spin the top again. Probably you have
oyerdone the thing and made it blue
gray, but after changing the disks a
few. times you can make it pure
gray-almost white If your colored
papers are very bright. You see, then,
that yellow and blue make white-for
the difference between gray and wh.ta
is only a matter of brightness.
