MEN AS SLAVES OF FASHION.

An Eastern tailor is authority for the
announcement that men with shapely
auk'es will have reason to eongratu-
late themselves in the near future.
The explanation is that trousers are to
be two inches shorter, and that the
nan who hasn't a well rounded ankle
will have to employ a padding artist
or a beauty doctor, or suffer mortifica-
ton on account of contemptuous stares
at the portion of his anatomy in ques-
ton. This is distressing. But the fol-
lowing further remarks by the tailor
are fairly exasperating: 'Of course.
men will kick, just as they kicked
when the trousers with the roll came
into vogue several years ago. But
they get over kicking when they find
it is fashionable. They are easier to
drive than women" Has it come to
this, that men are more abject slaves
to fashion than the vain and frivolous
fair sex? If so, the male pert para
grapher will have to retire from one
of his favorite fields, and the ''women's
departments will turn the tables with
jest and gibe. Let US brace ourselves
for the coming onslaug ht.-Rochester

Honolulu's 400 is in process of or

stage This is the word that has reach

world in the past few weeks. The pro-
posed smart set, so it is said, proposes
to gather unto itself somewhere in the

believe, will entitle them to draw away
from the general crowd, and form an
exclusive Newport of their own Inc
project. so far as is learned. is not in
the hands of an embryo Harry Lehr,
but the idea has taken root in a gen.

of the social world to form their own
little clique at this or that function.
There may be little or no trouble in
launching this social barge of state
with pomp and ceremony, but when 1t
comes to the point of acknowledging
Mrs So-and-So as the leader of this
particular set, then storms may be en-
eountered That Mrs. So-and-So will
show a disposition TO NapoleoniZe this
function and gently drop the diadem

Good colors for Houses.

It is not generally known-not even
among painteis-why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, viii protect a
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is good color because IL
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot ravs
In general, therefore. the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor. so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce. will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints. such as cold
yellows like lemon), cold green's (like
grass green, etc.), and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves ire
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade and the paint
will scale off, If adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used. but if one is
careful to use the best white lcad--some
well-known brand of reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linsecd oil, the warm
tints mentioned above viii outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.
