1t is not to be supposed that Lettie,
having won her victory, was inclined
to underrate its value. For weeks the
pink-and-white outfit had been the
pinnacle Of her hopes and the bitterest
element in her failures; but when II
was hers by honest record, she car
ried off the situation with great non
chalance. Her black eyes glowed with
deep fire; her face was irradiated
but her manner was set in the las!

return from church. "These togs sure

100 PER CENT PERFeC T WHITE
Made From Pure earium sulphate-No
Black Shows Complete Absence
of Color.

Black has ordinarily been called mo
color" and taken to denote the absence
Of color. Likewise, white, being con-
stituted Of all colors. may also be con-
sidered as no color. A white body Is
assumed to reflect all the light that
strikes 1t. There is no absorption and
hence there Is no color. A black body
absorbs all the light that impinges
upon 1t and reflects none, therefore
there is absence Of all color.
theoretically this Is true, but there
IL no white that will reflect 100 per
cent Of the light, and no black that will
absorb 100 per cent of the light. We
often hear Of q whitest white, until a
whittier one comes along and displaces
1t from its position of eminence. The
same fact holds good for black. But.
inasmuch as some white must be taken
as q standard of comparison a choice
must be made of the whltest white.
Pure barium sulphate is, accordingly.
taken as the 100 per cent perfect white,
the white which reflects all the light
that strikes 1t.
From practical standpoint 1t Is
equally incorrect to state that black
denotes absence Of all color. For one
black is blacker than the next and the
blackest black, which Is assumed to
have no color at all, may be found to
possess some light trace of color when
compared with another new black.
Furthermore, us the eye is not abso-
lutely perfect and as Its sensitivity Is
not infinite absence Of light, as de
fined by the sensation produced In It,
is relative only. Even the deepest
black would exhibit traces Of color
would reflect little light, II our eyes
were sensitive enough to detect it
