Everyone loves the blue sky, with
Its brightness. warmth and softness.
Hundreds have written OF il in glow
Ing terms Of praise, while the inarticu-
late millions have felt what they ex-
pressed. Who does not love a pair of
blue eyes? Laughing blue eyes, true
blue eyes, tender blue eyes, Irish blue
eyes. The men who follow the sea
love her every mood and hue, and yet
tbs her sparkling sapphire cloak they
would have her don on the happiest
occasions. ut is impossible, in our
condition of society, not to be some
times snob," wrote Thackeray-not
to have a heart that would relish
pumping a little blue blood along with
the red. But when our thoughts are
dull, depressed and drear like an I'M
kind wintry sky, we are in the blues.
Why this paradoxical defamation of
the color which is associated with so
many of the fair and pleasing things
Of life? If we must vilify a color,
