can people took partisan politics with
deadly seriousness. To be on "the
other side" except in time Of war,
was to be guilty OF one Of the deadly
sins. The acrimonies and bitterness
OF the old political campaigns, and
how they alienated families, are IA
miiar If unlovely history.
With the broadening OF the national
point OF view, the spread Of the news

over the spirit OF our prejudices. We
still fight valiantly under party ban

COLOR IN COSTUME.

An Englishman delivered a lecture
recently On courage and color. Al
though he was an architect, he was
not speaking OF decorative colors, but
colors for women's attire. He want
ed to get away, he said, from the
"dowdiness Of drabs and the gloomi-
ness OF grays," which sounds all very
well. And yet If the lecturer was tc
attend the average bal or party
hereaeouts, or go IL the opera, or to
the theaters, or even walk up and
down Chestnut street, he would hard
ly complain that there was any dow
diness or drabbiness Of attire IN
Philadelphia. for such riots of color
have seldom been seen.
However, the Englishman had Ger
tain rules as TO color in attire which
may have point to them. His general
ideas run as follows:
'7The most effective complementary
colors are these. because, seen in
pairs, they produce in each other the
most satisfying effects and the
strongest contrasts:
Blue and orange yellow.
Violet blue and yellow.
Violet and green yellow.
Vio.et-red and green.
Red and green blue.
Uncommon and effective con-
trasts which make courageous com
binations are:
Red with yellow orange.
Orange and yiolet-red.
Blue with violet-red.
Violet with green blue.
Green with ,violet-blue.
Blue with green yellow.
There is no question about it that
color plays its part in the emotions
as well as in the matter Of physical
harmonies, and some of the gowns
which. as the phrase goes, cry out,
might well be avoided, for they irri-
tate often wearer and observer.
