that the house In question should be

looked back to the gas exhibit her faith
wavered. and she left the show feeling

WHAT BRIGHT coLoks TELL.

Do you believe that the reason
why women wear colors is to at
tract attention?
If you do, then you and Mr.. Al
yah Parsons, art teacher and critic,
who spoke recently on women's
dress before an audience in Denver,
Colo, agree perfectly.
Loud colors attract attention" he
said, "and that is why the fair sex
wear them in stockings"
As a matter of fact, only few of
the fair sex do go about with colored
stockings. But when they do Mr..
Parsons might be reminded that IT
is usually with costume or shoes
of matching hue, and then the color
is chosen from reasons of harmony
rather than of ostentation.
But isn't it true that when you
select bright color for one of your
gowns that you do SO more because
you yourself find pleasure in the
color than because you wish to at
tract attention. Then, too, certain

There are two things requisite to make
