The stores show dozens of colors,
and the dressmakers offer them to you
in half-hearted way, but if you know
what's what in the world of fashion
you will brush them all aside and go
in heavily for black and white.
There was some sense in struggling
against this edict last summer be-
cause here and there barbaric and
Byzantine colors darted their heads
up into sight like asps in an urn, but
the urn of fashion is now given over
to the two sharply contrasting colors.
You must not wear all white, and
you must not wear all black, but you
must juggle with the two until your
skill draws applause. You may think
the wearing of black and white Is
moEotonous that it lacks variety; but
when you hear an expert talk on the
subject you feel as If you were at

New York.-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora'
ton in the wilds Of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and fund of interesting ex-
periences
The expedition. which left for Pata-
gonia on July last, is in charge OF
Prof. F. b. Loomis of the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst.
1911; Layton Turner. Amherst, 1912.
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro
fessor Loomis by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, Is skulls
and large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens of the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate,
notostylopus and large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party. Pro
fessor Loomis reports that many OF
the specimens are entirely new to
this country and suggest several new
scientific ideas.
Some of the most valuable additions
TO geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in some instances at
levels thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fled trees, some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven in by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles,
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells OF bivalves
similar to the oyster, but foot or
more in diameter, were found in the
same locality
The present expedition is the third
of a series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896. OF which
Professor Loomis was a member.

BRIGHT COLoRS IN AFTERNOON
Ones Own Drawing Room Is the
Place for Display, but Hues
Must Harmonize.

The woman who dislikes display out
of doors, in her own drawing room
often wears the brightest colors. This
gives her a chance to lay aside the
sober yet attractive tailor-made suit.
Dresses are worn to harmonic or
contrast with the colorings with which
the room is decorated. Red looks well
where the colorings are the claret
shades and brown. Green In the soft,
dull tones blends equally as well.
An afternoon gown of geranium pink
is effective where the surrounding col
orings are of purplish hues. Bright
sapphire blue harmonizes with almost
any color.
A striking combination which looks
we'll for afternoon wear is red and
purple in fuchsia shades.
Emerald green is much worn, some
times combined with black. Gold lace
and nets of all varieties make effective
trimming for this color.
Any odd attractive color, 10 matter
how vivid, may be used for the after
noon dress.
