RAGE FOR WHITE COSTUME.

More than ever, 50 we are told, white
is to be worn this season. Even the
poorest women have two or three
write dresses in their seasons ward
robe. Mothers who need all their
strength for the necessary duties Of
life are making several white frOcks
apiece for the little girls. Everybody
has to wear a white shirt waist. Even
for working around the house, white is
worn. The white guimpe or 'dicky''
or chemisette must be worn with every
no matter whether the parents have
an income of $4,000 or 10000 cents.
Probably we all agree upon the
beauty and general becomingness of
white. Most of us look better in white
than in anything else. But every wo-
man knows that it is the most extrava-
CANT of colors-if we may call that a
color which is no color. BY exhaust
ing and nerve-trying care very dain-
ty and delicate and useless woman can
wear white gown several times with
out badly sOiling iu-but once or twice
is the usual limit. And a soiled white
dress is about a thousand times less
becoming than a black or brown one.
1t is often said in defense of the gem
eral adoption of white, that dark
clothes become just as soiled as the
white ones-only they don't show it.
Therefore, we are told. il is really a
more moral proceeding to wear the
white than the dark.
There is a fallacy in this reasoning.
You wear your brown frock and come
home dusty. Then you shake and
brush it, and, broadly speaking, re-
move from it all the dust that YOU
have accumulated. The dress is made
r6 IN oil
poses clean-but the dust has left its
color upon the fiber. Mercifully, you
cannot see that color, because of the
brown or blue. On the
white dress, no matter how faithfully
you may shake and brush It. the dust
which has passed over it has left it's
color. Therefore soap and water must
be used before the original wilderness
can be restored. And these days the
application of soap and water to cloth |
ing is one of the most expensive pro- |
5esses known.

Natural Color of Water.

That the natural color of pure water
is blue, instead of white. was long AGO
discovered. The green and velIoyT
tints are said to be due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts
though apparently giving a greenish
tint, due to a fine, invisible suspen-
sion, have no effect on the color of the
water when precautions are taken to
prevent, it. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal
cium is present.

LIKE FALLING DEE ALoe.

1t is easy to be happy
If you have a dollar bill
That is good in any language,
That will go in any till
For the butcher and the baker
And the man who peddles ice
As they try to take it from you
VIII be very, very nice.
1t is easy to be happy
If you have a charming wife,
Who can take your hand and lead you
Down the sunny side of life.
In addition to these virtues
II she only has the knack
OF inheriting a fortune,
There is nothing you should lack.
With a cheerful disposition
And a dollar I'm his hand
And wife to stroke his whiskers
1t is just like pounding sand.
And the man who would be tempted
In conditions such as these
To be anything but happy
Would be mighty hard to please.
Let the pessimist keep busy
Strewing lacks along the way,
Possibly he has no money
That is why he feels that way
If he would but find a million
And get married to Marie.
He would lose his crouch instanter
And would only brightness see.
