A Vacation Event.

When I went on my vacation I had a lovely time. I went to Hampton One day my uncle asked Katherine and I if we wanted to watch him hay. So we said:
 Yes
 When we got up to the lot he said:
 There is a hornets nest there. Do not go near it.''
 I was harefooted and the sharp grass cut my feet. So he made soft pile of hay and he happened to put the hornets nest there.
 So I Jumped right into the nest There was over ten hundred after me. I ran as fast as I could towards the house. When I got there I was bathsl in witch hazel and water. But taet learned me a lesson-not to go near d hornets nast again.-Aice J. Hickey, age 9, Willimantie, Conn.

What would be the effect of green upon COM
plexon deficient in red? 1t would certainly height

care should be exercised in the selection OF the

plexion contains great deal OF orange, and the
green, acting upon the red of the orange, could
readily produce a brick dust appearance.
Green therefore is risky color for the brunette
and so is violet, which would neutralize the
yellow of the orange and heighten the red. But
Il the orange complexion had more yellow than
red, then the association of violet would produce
