Marriage Prevents Crime.

Science is merely organized common
sense" in Huxleys words, and there
fore what the experience of life teaches
the average man is pretty apt TO be
formulated as a scientific law by some
savant It has been a truism for ages
that 10 marry is 10 settle down, " to be-
come steady and responsible" Now.
DR.. Bertilon. on the basis of very elab-
crate French statistics and studies has
promulgated certain theories" concern
ing the relation between marriage, fam
ily life. and crininality. There is moth
ing strange or new in these theories. but
they are interesting simply because they
are now demonstrable by facts and
figures. Crime. Dr. Bertillon shows. is
NOT as rife" among married men as
among bachelors; the bringing up Of a
family imposes "benefcent burdens" and
creates a desire for respectabnity and
an honOred name. Widowers revert 10
the criminality records Of wild bachelors.
including "Apaches" Childless widow
ers are the worst offenders Of all: they
stand highest on the crimlnality lists.
This shows the value OF woman's con-
troll or companionship. The presence Of
children IS wholesome and deterrent. but
the best moral condition Of all is COM
plete family life. with wife and mother
to guide the household and inspire-or

Why COlOrs Are BECOMING.

The hair OF the blond is q mixture Of
red. yellow, and brown As a rule. the
skin is lighter, that is. it contains not
so much orange, and the tinges OF red
are lighter
Nature, therefore. very properly made
the biond's eyes blue. says a writer in
shop Notes Quarterly. since the blue
Is complementary 10 the orange - her
hair. The brunette's skin. on the other
hand. has more orange in It, and hence
a color favorable TO one would not be
becoming to the other.
What would be the effect Of green unon
a complexion deficient in red? II would
certainly heighten the rose tlnts in the
cheeks. but the greatest care should be
exercised in the selection Of the proper
shade Of green. because the brynette's
complexion contains a great deal OF
orange. and the green, acting upon the
red Of the orange, could readily produce
q brickdust appearance.
Green. therefore, is a risky color for
the brunette, and so is violet which
would neutralize the yellow Of the orange
and heighten the red. But If the orange
complexion had more yellow than red
then the association Of violet would pro-
duce pallor. Yellow. OF course. is her
color, since its Complementary violet neu-
ralizes the yellow OF the orange COM
plexion and leaves the red.

THE hotel-bred child seems to be pecu-
