itself into our minds so that we soon begin to feel
as cool as we look.
When one considers the little. time most women
devote to selecting colored clothes in their relation
to the weather and season 1t is little wonder that
we find them wearing flame-colored frocks when the
thermometer registers in the nineties.
Such colors when worn on a hot day not only

hold and reflect the heat, literally throwing a spot
