Stylish Combination Of Colors.

SIyjt6n NO"OINdttOV OF NOsOVSs
While the ordinary woman does not
look for unusual " freakish modes,
she is always anxious to know just
what society Is wearing, Il now anu
again she gains Il clever idea which
she introduces in her own simple
frocks. For this particular little wom-
an let it be remembered that certain
smart effects are obtained In combin-
ing two Or more unusual colors-that
is, colors that ut n time would have
been considered eccentric. For exam
pie, a stylish linen dress cut on simple
lines with plated skirt and semifitted
coat Is in wedgwood blue, which color
in itself is vastly becoming to a clear
complexion, but which is simple and
unattractive from a modish viewpoint
until it Is touched up with a widely
contrasting tone which gives it an en-
tlrely different appearance and rem
ders the shade available for almost any
type. The little frock In mind Is OF
this particular shade Of blue trimmed
with collar and cuffs Of coral pink,
around the edges Of which Is a tiny
piping of sage green. This introduces
the French touch that is practically the
making of the entire frock. Other
| wise it would lack chic and be nothing
more nor less than merely a simple
blue linen coat suit. The home dress
maker should not be afraid to combine
unusual colors so long as they do not
clash too nOticeably. 1t Is these little
touches that give the gown distingue,

The adoption Of an Independence day

an awful complication in Mr.. Quick's

But about ten days ago the baby de-

day, and Peter Quick and his wife
grew more fond Of her. The baby was
healthy and cooed away, goo-gooed and
smiled, but her skin had begun to be
several shades darker.
At first no attention a paid to this
except that an additional dose of medi

But the infants hair began to kink
and her skin grew decidedly darker.
That settled 1t. The baby had some
