Diet apd Dress Are
Things Worthy Of the
Highest GoDsid-

The lucky pOssewor of n peach and
cream complexion need not bother her
head about what she wears or what
she eats, but the girl of orange hue
must consider beth dress and diet If
she would not resemble an exhumed

breads shouli be Stunned.
Fruit, In season and out, Is the boon
OF the yellow hued Stint on every.
thing else before you cut down your
allowance OF oranges and apples from
the daily menu. The only possible ex.

clog the intestines.
Quite as important as diet is be-
coming dress Some girls with a skin
like clay bank persist in wearing
ecrus, purples and greens.
Reds can generally be worn by the
sallow girl; most shades OF blue. and
above all, soft rose pink The fancy
for brown which Is prevalent with sal.
low women, while better choice
than ecru, does not give enough con.
trast unless high lights are there in
whites.
White never fails TO be becoming,
as II seems to clear up the muddicst
skin: IL must be pure white, how
ever. without tinge of cream.
The woman with olive complexion
will find the narrow line of black vel
vet ribbon that is now worn with eve.
ming gowns a positive boon. The

throat-tends to whiten and clear her

gold are hideously unbecoming. though
the pale lemon tint is not ont OF the
question.
One cannot lay down hard and fast
rules as To color. To say blue is be-
coming does not mean Alice or porce-
lain tints, nor does the same shade of
blue look well on every sallow person.
There IL but one way TO definitely
know what can be worn. Test It in
every light. Do not trust to your own
judgment, but have with you an un.
biased friend who is honest enough to
say what she thinks.
Let no clever person tempt you by
flattery into thinking you can wear
with impunity colors that would try
milk and rose skin.

Commissioner West fav0rs a graduated

opinion that q piece Of work costing, say,
$50 should have a Zee OF Is cents attached

thinks the scale OF prices FOR such work
should be 10 per cent Of the cost OF the
work
It is not probable that Engineer Com

In the eighteenth century an ingenious

London. constructed a clock which was
rendered perpetual by cleverly contr1ved
attachment which utilized the rise and
fall OF the barometer to supply the neces-
sary energy.
The movement Of the mercury actuated

whether the mercury rose or fell the
wheel always revolved IN the same dlrec-
ton and kept the weights that supplied
the movement Of the clock always wound
UP. The barometer bulb dipped into a
mercury cistern. The cistern hung at

TO the left end Of one and the right end
OF the other.
The bulb was similarly attached to the
other extremites Of the rockers, which
are thus moved every time there Is a
change IN the amount Of mercury in bulb
and cistern, respectively. The rockers
actuated a vertical ratchet and the teeth
were so arranged that the wheel they
controlled could only move in one direc-
