AFFECT THE MIND STRANGELY .Important Part That Various Colors Play in Life Has Not Been Sufficiently Recognized. I Have you ever stopped to think o? JUie important part that color plays in jjour life? Possibly not, but psycho Jogtsts and some medical specialists rnxx? they are paying more and more -attention to the subject-say that ??some colors have all sorts of curious affects to answer for. After a revolutionary outbreak some -years ago in Russia, the fact came out ?hat the punishment meted out to sev eral of the leaders of the rising was confinement in celle whose walls were painted violet A few weeks spent In these cells turned keen-witted restless ?nen into dull, stupid fellows, who tooved and spoke as dying men do siter they have lost the power over .brain and body. The effect of red IB even more strik Ung, red is said to produce restless ness and excitability, and no special Sst will allow a highly nervous patient Jto remain long in a room that is .dither papered or furnished in that ?hade. And dressmakers complain that to work for any length of time vpon a garment that is tinted red will ?anse the se^mstrets to become tired. Jhave a headache, and feel nauseated. Perhaps that ls why blue, brown an?? .white have their turns as the "most 3>opular color,*' while red is always :a matter of individual taste, except to the matter of occasional trimming. SIG BUCKLES MUST BE WORN Fashion Is Insistent on This Point, and the Smarter They Are the * Better the Style. Big buckles are emphatically to the Joro this season. They are to be worn upon all manner of hats save those in 4ended for really ceremonious occa sions; as a fastening for evening -wraps and as claspings for girdles and ^collars upon daytime frocks. Therefore "af money isn't an object, be sure to Slook about the ?hops for a really smart -tackle or set of buckles. You will ^jflnd them a-plenty, but the smartest Tof them are of square, oblong or oval 'Shape in chisel or jewel-set silver or sold; in Russian enamel; in Cloisonne or metal; in hand-painted china and in Jade. Some of the handsomest buckles are of a fabric like cljth of gold or jsilver heavily embroidered; of old .French tapestry threaded with metal flic strands and of hand-embroidered -^velvet or satin.

As a little girl Albertine always &at in the chair in the faTthest corner when she went to children's parties. She had a meek, pretty little face, abundant yellow hair and large, ap pealing blue eyes that held a shadow of apology in them for her temerity in presuming to exist She retained the modest violet atmosphere after she was grown up. Other girls might blossom into dar ing coquettes and fascinating belles, but Albertine always kep{ in the back ground. Whenever people looked at her they involuntarily thought of lace mitts and hoopskirts and curtseys. They felt that Albertine should be put under glass. This being the case, it was . aston ishing that down in her secret heart Albertine had a fierce love of the dar ing, the wild and gay and the extreme. When she picked out a dress design she always chose the rankest, most alarming atrocity. The dressmaker said, "Oh, certainly," and then pro ceeded to modify the pattern to suit Albertine's appearance. Things had a way of drooping softly on her in old fashioned lines. She wanted to look frightfully smart and somehow she never did. Secretly she suspected the dressmakers, but she never dared accuse them. It was the same way when it caine to the young men. Let a perfectly steady, sober youth who earned a reg ular salary and was good to his mother come her way and Albertine raisod her little nose and sniffed. She simply could not^see him. She ad mired extravagantly the sort of young man who dashed down the street wearing crimson silk socks and a tie to match and the latest cry in waist coats, and if he was followed by a bulldog so much the better. If people raised their eyebrows and coughed discreetly when his name was men tioned it made the situation perfect. Albertine always felt loftily then that she was an experienced, worldly wise person and the eyebrow raisers were narrow provincials. Usually the bulldoggy young man never pro gressed in the acquaintance farther than Rising his hat and casting an entrancing smile at her, but Albertine was satisfied with just adoring him from a distance. Her family was quite alarmed when she fell in love with Harry Jungles, because Harry always was in debt and worked only semi-occasionally, and Albertine's relatives had a great deal of money. Harry seemed awake to this, for he actually called on Al bertine and talked poetry to her in the parlor in low, rich tones and _told Albertine went so far as to powder her already white nose and her moth er caught her once using an eyebrow pencil. It was much the same as though an Easter lily had begun to rouge. The situation was saved, how ever, by the sheriff's removing Harry for forgery, and after that Albertine wore what she thought was a heart broken expression and thought she threw into her face deep lines of ex perience and suffering. After Harry several others of the same kind followed. Therefore, hav ing long hovered over Albertine in fear that she would do some fool thing and spoil her life her family was en tranced when she became engaged to Jeffrey. It all happened so suddenly that one was scarcely aware Jeffrey waa on earth before he was introduc ing himself as a future son-in-law and brother. Jeffrey was absolutely as nearly perfect as he could be for Albertine. Liberal minded people might say he erred on the side of rigidness and propriety and possible narrowness, but one felt that he would always be at home at six o'clock sharp for din ner and that Albertine never would have to hang cut of the front window trying to distinguish whether it was he wavering down the street at one o'clock in the morning. Jeffrey choked at the sight of a cigarette, wouldn't be caught dead at a dog show and said his wife never 6hould be permittted to wear decollete gowns in the even ing. The more people considered the matter the more inexplicable it be came. Finally her dearest friend flat ly asked Albertine to explain Jeffrey's attractions. "You see," said the dearest friend, "with your ideas I can't understand how you happen to fall in love with Jeffrey, of all men." "Of all men!" echoed Albertine in pitying astonishment. "Why, I'll tell you, Susie-because I recognized at once that Jeffrey is the most sophis ticated sort of person. He's such a man of the world. I can't abide these goody-goody men!"-Chicago Daily News. Smoking in Winter. A physician of note asserts that smoking has a worse effect on most people in winter than in summer, and he advises all smokers who find their health and mental faculties impaired in winter for no apparent reason to accept tobacco as the explanation and to cut down their smoking during the colder months. Tobacco, he says, is a very powerful drug and cannot be consumed in large quantities without producing a certain effect on the heart. It must be re membered that during the winter the heart has a great deal more work to do than in summer, for the cold causes the blood vessels to become small and pinched. It is thus less able to bear 'he extra strain put upon it by smok ing.-From the .Family Doctor. (Conducted by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) WHY KIP?NG CHANGED MIND Noted English Author Witnessed Scene in Buffalo and at Once Altered His Opinion. Rudyard Kipling, in some of his earlier writings, hooted at the idea of temperance, but after seeing In the city of Buffalo, N. Y.. the scene in a beer hall where two girls were made drunk through the efforts of their male companions, and then taken reel ing down a dark alley, he wrote the following on page 122 of American Notes: "Then, recanting previous opinions, I became a prohibitionist. Better lt is that a man should go without his beer in public places, and content himself with swearing at the narrow mindedness o? the majority; better it is to poison the inside with very vile temperance drinks and to buy lager furtively at back doora, than to bring temptation to the lips of young fools such as the four 1 have seen. I un derstand now why the preacher rages against drink I have said: 'There ! is no harm lr. it taken moderately.' j and yet my own demand for beer help ? ed directly to send two girls reeling, down tbe dark street to-God alone knows what end. If liquor ls worin j drinking, it is worth taking a little trouble to come at-such trouble as a man will undergo to compass his own desires. It is not good that we should let it be bi-fore the eyes of chil dren, and I have been a loo] in writ i lng tc the contrary.'' AT WHOSE DOOR THE BLAME?

A few months ago the steamer Graf Waldersee of the Hamburg-American line shippec nearly 100.0(10 quarts of rum fer the Park Continent." This is said to be largest export from Posion ir. years.

The most effective temperance or ? ganizatione in America today are tbe great industrial plants, and their lead ers are the captains of industry. Their conclusions are based upon the uner ring and consequently overwhelming testimony of the ledger. It is another case where "figures will not lie." They have discovered the persistent foe to prosperity, the sources of dan ger in places of trust and responsibil ity. In this great flanking army of business perhaps the mighty railway systems of America are the most effec tive corps.-Jenkin Lloyd Jones. Liquor and Capitalist. The grain used by the liquor traffic I is wasted: labor expended upon it is wasted: money spent by the buyer cf '? liquor is wasted. I Capital invested in the liquor traf fic decreases the aggregate wealth and Increases taxation. The same capital used in productive industries would add to the general prosperity and reduce the public bur dens. Alcohol a Handicap. A Swiss experimenter, Profeessor Durig. experimented in mountain climbing with and without alcohol. On the dayB when he used as much alcohol as would be contained in two priasses of beer he expended 15 per cent, more energy than on the non alcoholic days, he did less work in a given time, and therefore he required 21 per cent, more time to climb the mountain than on the non-alcohol days. Liquor in Pennsylvania. According to the records of the in ternal revenue department there are 23,443 persons in Pennsylvania paying the government liquor tax. There are only 14,000 paying the state license fee, so there are 9,443 speak-easies in the "model" license state of Pennsyl vania.
