How TOfIAKE IhE f1OST

 Tn addition to the color contrast, there is contrast of tone, g fact not so we'll known. In placing two tones of one color. say gray together, the
 one light and the other dark, the lat ter will appear darker and the light
 shade lighter than when the tones are viewed separately. For this reason, d sample should always be taken when
 material is required fer trimming, as
 1t Is impossible to tell the exact eff
 feet unless both tones are seen to-
 gether. A dress trimmed with the
 same color, but in another shade, is
 trast is absent. It is only harmonius,
 however, when the right proportIons
 are chosen.
 The trimming may be lighter or
 darker than the gown, but it must not
 be too light or too dark, or the result
 pale pink and drk red. These are
 really the same color -red-71ut the
 pink is modified by white. Gray silk or Woolen goods will be improved by
 the addition of velvet in a deeper
 tone, while the popular tasupe shade
 The trimming, however. should be on the solid order. as broad folds, collar, cuffs. or belt in preference to pipdnss,
 covered button holes, small bows and ! narrow folds or braid
 This. when the trimming is lighter
 than the dress itself The bits of
 light color disposed over the gown will give 8 very 1atehy effect. The heaviest or darkest trimming should always come at the bottom Of the of the dress, unless the wearer ds ex- ceedingly slender for her height I remember seeing a. woman some years ago dressed in gown Of royal blue surah serge trimmed with rows of black velvet as far as the knee in different width, varying from three inches to one-half inch This was the style then, but she said she wanted something different 7 so she ordered the yvidest s clth to come at the top and the narrowest at the bot tom of the ekirt- She was only of medium height as it Was but in that dress she looked like a yeritab1e bar rel She certainly was s.diHerent.'' mention this because it is the fash ion to use sonbre effects just mow, especially for evening dresses. Some times the material comes dyed in all the shades from light to dark in one riece, but a other times different shades are bought separately. h either case. be sure to have the dark est shade at the hem. letting the tones
 they end in scn1et hing soft. transpar- ent and creamy white at tlse bE,st Another point to he ren1enbered is that coIors are modified by glces. For instance. compare dull suede .siipper with one in glossy satin. 10th exacs,s. the ga me shade When placed fos. ge5her if will fc saetzs that the sa tizi appears to be Eighter t h n tf1e suede 6y reason Of the re:sectieH of light | Suede. pesns dull assorI s ts1e light.

 They all voted for the one they thought would be best but some way they didn't seem to agree.e
 This made a great deal of disturb-. ance among them and it was what every one talked about, all except one. he didn't take much interest and said anyone they choose he was sure would be all right as he was to fly away and he hoped that they would have the king chosen when he got back.
 Away he flew as happy as could be and stepped to ask the rose fairy if he could do anything for her and was glad she looked so happy. Of he flew to see what adventures he could find As the door of a house was open he flew in and looked around.
 FIreflIes do not often go into houses but this one was very venturesonei and curious and he wanted to see what a. house looked like. He lighted on 8 table and looked around. Everything was strange and he thought he had much rather live out of doors than in a place like this. On the table very near him was a saucer of something. He didn't know what but he was go- ing to find out if he could. so he crawIed to the edge and looked over: it looked bright and shiny and very pretty and he crept nearer to see. As he did so, in he fell
 It was cold and he had to make his wings go fast to keep from falling in further. At last he managed to drag himself to the edge of the saucer and so out on the table again, but he was sticky and as he looked at himself he saw he had changed color He didn't look at all as he did before. What should he do? He was afraid to go back home for fear they would make fun of him and he hated to be laugh ed at
 thought he would wait until dark and him so much andN the horrid stuff might come off.
 He flew home very slowly and when he reached home he sat down with the others very quietly They were still talking about the king and he learned that no one had been chosen and they were going to decide if they sat up all night.
 He wished he could go to bed but he didn't dare move for fear some one would see him Just then a, fire fly turned to him and said: What do you want for king;" but before he Look, look. and they all looked at him and saw he was a beautiful bronze, so different from the others that they all cried together: He must be King. he is the most beautiful ire fly of a11.'

less chance or Omend1ng the artistic eye and to dress tastefuIly is conn otonous One needp contrasts. 900 Years ago there was very little trou-
 ble in contrasting colors because they
 were fewer and wefe pure For in- stance, blue was blue, from light to
 dark, gray was gray, and so on. But
 shades of green and the odde,st kind
 of neutral tirts, bIuish yioIets; pinl1ey
 nauves, grays that include elephant g hide taupe and London smoke, and
 browns that may mean anything from seal brown to what is known nat
 uraI, with so many tones between it
 is almost too puzzling to try to name
 them.
 Violet and blue. are often seen in
 combination but it takes all artist to
 do 1t successful1y, because yellow. the
 complementary of violet lcomposed of
 amateur Is quite sure of herself she
 had better choose another combina- ton. Pale pastel blue combined with
 bluish violet instantly takes in 2. shade of pa1e@ green, which is not uns pleasing when used in small duanti- simply Kill each other deep shade Of prune and pale blue go we'll to- gether and so will a light blue and as reddish purple. Blue and yellow har-
 monize By this do not mean that the shades may be chosen haphazard or that 1t is unnecessary to consider the proportions of each color because both are important For instance, navy blue cloth with gold braid is de-, hghtfu1 and So is a suit Of navy blue trimmed with collar and cuffs of ban : ana or sulphur color, but you can easIly imagine how grotesaue the com bination would be were the coIors combined in equal quantities or a yell low suit with navy blue trimmings disposed about it
 There are times, however, when the yellow may predominate. For ia- stance yellow or goIden etraw hat trimmed with blue r1bbons will be prettier than a dark blue hat deco rated with yellow ribbons. Flowers, being less dense than ribbons, are less dif8cuIt to deal with A navy straw hat trimmed with sbutfercups will be quite as artistic as the yellow straw hat trimmed with cornf7owerss So # will be seen that while two scolors win combine we'll it is necessary to use discretion as to proportions and also duly to regard the lights and shades Of the fabric question F iss5i E :; A like rule will apply to the girIRsn
 eonabina ton of pink and blue. The blue must always predoninate in this case Pink ribbons may futter ever a blue frock, but the opposite will bs : un sle'ntl ss T lnls IS qouDleQ JusI 5Ia- agipe holding blue rose to pink

WHAT HEART IS EXEMPT
 FROM LOvEe

VVhex. d woman is introduced to a particularly agreeable man but Is warned mot to set her cap for him be- cause he has a heart exempt from love, she shouIdn' beI1eve it
 To marry is the duty of every mans life.s Each man has his own notion of the kind of woman who would be congenIaI to him. He passes a thou sand women by ere he looks into the eyes Of one woman to whom his heart instantly responds. When that occurs the man who was not thought ob- tainable will, in the twinklins of an eye become changed into an anxious lover
 Gouuetry or blandAhmenta, will not be needed to draw him on No matter what the cond Etions are. v hat opsta- clea confront him, even the indiHer- en<se Of the woman acts as stimulus to his purpose-tO win and wed her A man may have many fight fancles- they come and go, leaving no regret or longing behind them- He sknoNEs lf he has lived the IIfe Of 2. nachelor- a free lance kneWing not true love until late ia lIfe
 He may have laughed gnically over the woes Of many a married man B1t when his lime comes he is ready to shift the yoke on his shoulders and be proud Of carrying it. As man changes in face and form 90 the heart changes The woman he might al- mire in his early days he would not becozna ezaaaored of when his Judz-
 nent was ripe in years IF he has be lieyed that all women were cut after the same pattern light, frivolous, gay, laughed with them, daftered them and rode away Wz1en he meets serious, plain wsox1an wholesome as she is true, his ar1nored heart is pierced at last He yields gracefully to loves sweet inffuezce He never knew he had heart tllI he was conscious of it's loss. 2
 The romanee of a man whose first flush Of youth is oyer is tenderer.3 swseteF by 1ax than many of those in the heyday of early man1ood. He doeeust expect too much from the Wo- man he Eeds- Youfh looks for bril- liancy, beauty, coquetry and all charms combined in wife, He who has turned his back on middle age, and Is eloWly vending his way in sol itude is astis1ed with, nay, apprecia- tive to rhe ft1als of the dear woman who as no partxcu1ar charm Of face or manner if she but have tender heart that beats for him alone with love and devotion He wants companions ship ss nDa1hy, tenderness and affec- tion Gwen these he is as happy as any man the wide world holds
 Once in q while a man goes unWed- ded to the grave Even he. could he live his life oyer again, would cry out against those who would exempt iox e from their heerts Che is aslTe to. meet the right heart mate soon na late.
