American Cities Need
Color, Expert Thinks


A freer use Of color in modern build
lngs is advocated by the chairman Of
Architectural and Allied Arts EXPOSE
ton. He hopes to see American cities
take on color to such an extent that it
will make life more interesting and
more cheerful. He suggests that the
shade used in a building should suit
the needs and general atmosphere of
its locality, mentioning green as a
soothing antidote for the high tension
Of the Wall street neighborhood. Con-
versely, suburban regions of peace
and quiet might run to gay reds, yell
low and orange to counterfeit a too
constant calm. Broadway and the the
atrical district call for rose color, or
perhaps primrose. The vicinity of the
Tombs suggests purple for the proper
motif. Tropical cities have long used
brilliant pinks and blues in their make
up. Even southern California boasts
of brightly colored buildings which
would seem startling If set down in
the gray and tan and buff of Northern
and Eastern cities. Anglo-Saxons are
shy of color, and if American men are
anything like as self-conscious about
color In buildings as they are in
clothes we shall not soon see Wall
street in green or Lower Broadway
in bright blue.-New York Times.

Cling to Custom, of
Carrying off Mates

A curious marriage custom persists
in Abchasia, district of the eau
casus. On the wedding day the bride
withdraws to the darkest room Of the
house. At dusk the bridegroom, sup
ported by bodyguard of friends, all
fully armed, rides up to the house, dis
mounts, and hammers on the door
with dagger hilt.
The door opens to reveal the brides
male relatives, just as ferociously
equipped, and the two parties prompt
ly join in a mock combat.
Eventually the defenders retire, the
bridegroom rushes in, seizes his bride,
filings her across his shoulder, and,
carrying her out, leaps on his horse
and gallops off with his capture to the
accompaniment of the victorious yells
of his supporters.
Shortly after, the defeated relatives
of the bride mount their horses and
give chase. When the bridegroom's
house is reached both sides join in
contest to see who can drink most
wine!
Abchasian girls decline to give up
the rite, and few would accept any
sutton who did not intend to carry
them off by force.
