been finished for bride of the month.
Absinthe chiffon velvet is the mate

draped skirt and the most coquettish

reveal the black satin draped girdle

The skirt has a wide front and
back panels hanging perfectly
straight. the sides being caught up

vet costume there are patent leather
boots with buttoned tops of pale tan

STONE THAT HAS NO COLOR
Peculiarly Of the Opal 10 Shared by
Few other Thlnas In Scheme
Of Nature,

The opal has no color In the sense
of fermentation. To break open an
opal in order to observe its hues would
be the equivalent to killing the goose
that laid the golden eggs. Neither
golden eggs no rainbow hues would
be found.
. Opal consists Of hydrated silica. It
is not uniform In texture. II the word
surface may be used for interior con-
ditions, It might be said that the opal
inc silica lie in the form of surfaces
and layers that lie compactly against
one another. These layers refract the
light at various angles, giving forth
the colored flashes in the same way
that a pure crystal prism refracts the
colors of the spectrum. Technically
speaking. these layers of silica are
said to possess a different index Of
refraction from that of the matrix.
AS the opal Is moved the various lay
ers break the light into colors, which
change, Of course, according to the po-
sition OF .he stone.
The irfdescence of nacre, or mother
of-pearl, is also matter OF form and
not actual color In fact, all change
able" colors are more or less the re-
suit of form even where there is pig
mentation beneath, such as In certain
ribbed silks. When sunlight bears d.
rectly upon finely ribbed metal. as q
file, there is the same play Of colors.
In the case of mother-of-pearl an in
teresting experiment has been made.
An impression of the pearl was taken
upon pure white wax. 1t was found
that the apparently smooth surface OF
the pearl had still sufficient irregular
tiles to impress upon the wax a sur
face that resulted in similar color
manifestations.-Harper's Weekly.
