YOUR COLOR.

WOMEN should copy the animal

make their clothing attractive, says
Fred II. Daniels, the artist-lecturer.
Daniels advises stout women to
wear the dark, subdued colors sport
ed by elephants and whales.
He points out that birds and but
.terflies have brilliant plumage be-
cause they are small. The bright
ness overcomes their smallness -
makes them stand out.
( Color magnifies size, in the i'm

If nerves are jumpy, surround
yourself with green. 1t rests the

uses it extravagantly-in grass, trees,

Nancy. 81 never heard of it."
Neither had II Kip told her. "It's
this way. The gnomes hunt up all
the chimneys where children live,
about this time of year. Then they
mark them with chalk so they will
show up in the moonlight. About
Christmas time they go out in thou
sands and block up the chimneys with
all the SCOT they can stuff in, so San
ia can get down. Besides that they
steal letters the kiddies put up the
chimney for Santa. Another great
big awful besides--the most dread
full of all, they throw dreams down
these chimneys for the children to
catch-dreams that there is no Santa
Claus and things like that! I tried
to throw down good dream about
good, kind, merry, old Santa, but be-
fore it got past the chimney-pot,
Tweekanose caughtsit and put it into
his bag. WhyI the gnomes have
even caught the chimney-sweep and
made him prisoner, also the toy
maker. After we help PIN PIN, we'll
have to come back and set them free,
because it never would do for Santa
to get his suit all smudgy."
