Colors may be divided into two classes, warm colors and cold col ors. The warm colors reflect light such as red, orange or colors that have red or orange tones in them. {{ Orehid, for instance, a mixture of ] white, black and red, is a warm tone. Warm shades are inclined to make one appear larger tham cool shades such as green, gray, blue or bluish violet. The blending of a cold color or warmth according to whieh shade is the predomimat- ing one, Warm colors are winter tones whereas cool colors are best sulted to warm summer months, Red suggests Yire, life, heat, dan- ger, Blended with brown or other colors the same effect is gained. Pink, a less violent toning of red, suggests health, youth, blos- soms, This is the most flattering shade to the average persom, Rose-beige and all of the rose- toned tans are inviting shades since thev give forth an idea of warmth. Orange suggests the warmth of autumn fires, the outdoors, Green, yellow, white, gray, blue are cold colors, Green expreskes life, vigor, epen spring flowers, °' Gray reminds one the sea, mists, Blue suggests skies, ealm, dignity, stateliness, White, perhaps the coldest tone, sugrests snow, purity, youth, Cool shades are much easier to wear than warm ones since warm {hades are apt tn he overpowering to the we rer, Pastels are generally cool shades and while they fall to attract attention, they are always flattering to the wearer, Navy blue is a rolor which ean he worn' the year round as it seems neither to express the warmth or cold, Black and white combinations are successful for the same reason. Freak shades such as majenta, per- ri-winkle and others are dificult ones for the average person to wear ' hirh hirnd with the skies, the fields, and the ground are the easiest tones to wear becomingly ine never tirng nf them.

Mild Blended Cigaret ' gre onshrines Montreal's Montreal Aug. 23, -- In one eity In Canada the horse still holds its own, despite the competi- tion of the automobile and the tram car. The oldtime open cabs, with their meticulously groomed horses, which are to he seen waiting in patient line in front ofs the McGill campus and at Dominion Square' add greatly to the atmos- phere of romance which colors the French Canadian city, not only for the native Canadian, but for the visiting tourists, To transients who inquire why the out-of-date gquadruped-drawn vehicle is still so prominent in the street life of the city, the reply is that automobiles are strictly *ver- boten in Mount Royal Park, which dominating (flory. The mountain, with its beautiful winding drives and criss- crossing hridle paths is sacred to the pedestrian, the equestrian and the eah, Children may roam with safety within the generous precinets of this udique park, The leisurely adult may enjoy a quiet stroll without the disturbance of strident motor horns, free from fear of being run down if he allows his attention to wander to 'the wide horizon line or to yet more distant vistas of daydream. The devotee of horseflesh may enjoy his morn- ing canter to the full, even If his steed be temperamental in' the mattre of motor driven vehicles. At times the preservation of Mount Royal against the invading motorist has meant heated bat- tles, but the city has remained adamant. "Thus far--no farther" is the fiat which faces the motor- ist at the park entrances For some years past there has been an active agitation for =a street car line to the top of Mount Royal, its advocates urging that thousands of residents of the poor- er sections of the city must now walk miles and climb the steep as- cent hy foot if they are to parti- cipate in the benefits awaiting them at the breezy summit, would thus be greatly aided. But these. at tempts have heen unsuccessful and the horse-lover's paradise remains unpolluted, One of the reasons advanced for not granting the tram line on the mountain is that it would put the cabbies ou of business and this ir an argument which makes a wide appeal. The jehus, with their weather-beaten faces, their easy- z0ing, unhurried manner and etern- al tience are dear to the hearts of Montrealers. Times are pot so good for them mow. Perhaps when they survey their diminished ranks, foreboding and loneliness over- whelm them. The more Imagina- tive may envision the day wnen the last cabbie will sit on the bench in fropt of McGill, his eyes fixed on the last cab horse, await- ing a fare which never comes. But that day Is not yet, Receipts are slimmer than of old, but there is still a copsiderable revepue to be earned with a cab during the summer months. In the winter it is 8 different matter. Then, with eternal cold nipping bands and feet, the sabjes must wait long hours between calls. Under these conditions they are ever solicitious for the welfare of their horses and may be seen adjusting apd re-ad- justing the blankets with paternal care. But it is not only as drawers of pleasure cabs that horses sre in evidence in Moptreol, A large proportion of the fire ' apparatus of the city it still horse-drawn and the greater part of the trucking is dope with teams. The lopg winter season, during which many of the side streets are continually snowed up, makes it imperative for cosl companies apd other delivering agencies to employ horses. Another reason for the prevalence of the four-footed carrier is the hilliness of the eity. According to the presi- dent of the Montreal Team Owp- er's Association, it has been com- clusively proved that horses pro- vide more economical drawing pow- er upon hills than does gasoline. $0 it looks as though Montreal would remain a horse eity for some time to come. Undoubtedly the New York, Aug. 18.--Manufae- turers of synthetic perfumes in at- tempting to keep at home the $100,- 000,000 America spends annually, have equalled or improved upon the odor of the rose, the lly and other blossoms by chemical methods, but the modest violet thus far has E4arded its secret from all seclen- LICH This is disclosed by Professor Marston Taylor Bogert, of Colum- bia University, in an interview with the American Magazine on the syn- thetic perfume industry. "Hach flower has a chemical for- mula which, in almost every case ¢an be reconstructed exactly," con- tinued Professor Bogert, "but the violet contains some element which has not yet been successfully ana- lyzed. Chemical reproduction of perfumes resulted from our inabil- ity to produce perfumes from flow- ers as cheaply as France with its low cost of labour. Our chemists realized that hundreds of substances with individual odors may be com- posed of the same elements, so the | problem was to digeover how many atoms of each element there were in each. No one has yet done this successfully with the violet." Professor Bogert explaing that chemical perfumes are often hetter than natural hecause dhemical 'con- tents of soil, conditions of weather and advancing seasons cause varia- tions in the seents of flowers, while the chemical formulae remain con- stant. Even some of the greatest French perfumers, he added; are turning to chemistry for the finer products now obtainable in Paris, 25 dos, Mens $1.65 Fine Shirts, ......
