CoLoRs THAT HARMONIzE.

The combination or cClOIS III uASH' displays more forcibly than any otn- CT one point the excellent or Dad taste of the wearer Of course 1t cannot be expected that every woman shall possess a true eye for harmony of tone, because this faculty Is lh- born and cannot be acquired, but here is a certain color sense-as IL were-that all woTen can cultivate.
 For instance, the new wistarla shade and a pale pastel blue are lovely in combination given the right quantities, such as a hat of pale wis taria felt. trimmed with pale violets and touch of pastel blue. But blue hat decorated with violets will lock flat and cold, so that touch of black would be necessary to give 1t life.
 Pure violet and pale blue simply clash. A deep shade of prune harmon izes with pale blue. and so does a pastel blue and a bluish violet
 Blue and yellow are effective to- gether By this do not mean that any shades in any kind of proportion may be combined But a dark blue cloth may be ornamented with q touch Of sulphur or mustary color, or braided with gold, and will be effec- tive, but a yellow frock decorated with navy ribbons will not be a sue cess.
 pale blue sash worn with a pale lemon frock will be pretty. and so will a Leghorn hat wreathed In cornfiowers.
 Deep blue and dark red are a safe combination; the former, however. must predominate. A blue dress may be trimmed with red, not a red with blue. Pale pink and pale blue come under the same rule-the pink must be in lesser proportion.
 Tan. which Is really orange mixed with black, looks pretty with almost any shade of blue, and the gray blues are effective with a touch of tan.
 There is an attractive. undecided green that has a touch of yellow in 1t that harmonizes with the new wis. taria and heliotrope tones. also with certain tints of old rose.
 The genuine shades of heliotrope combine prettily with dull pale vel. low Olive green is particularly sue cessful when put with copper color. Very faint touches of shell pink will brighten olive green and the same delicate tone will be effective used as a lining to coppery brown. Em- erald green with pale blue is often pleasing In effect.
 Gray Is attractive when combined with pale pink rose color, pale vel low, lemon or burnt orange. All shades of brown on the golden. chest nut chocolate or leather shades may be safely combined with either blue or green
 Due regard, however, must be giv- en in selecting the shades to go to- gethe~. A good plan Is to take bit of the brown material when buy ing and keep testing with the vari- ous shades of green that will be found in the store before making a selection. If the buyer lacks conf. dence in her own taste the sales person will always be ready to give an opinion.
 A few rules to follow are these:- When two colors do not look well together separate them with white whenever possible.
 Many rersons possess an idea that every combination can be ''toned" with black. This is a mistake.
 Hack lowers the tints when plac. ed in contact with them, but it be- comes dull in itself, besides impart. ing certain amount of dulness to the colors. White, on the contrary takes a tinge of the eolors it seeks to modify thus lessening the dead whiteness and at the same time less. ening the intensity of the tones with which it is combined
 Black and white is always q safe combination, and small proportion of any chosen color will not do. stroy the artistic effect of these two New York Telegram.
