I have heard women say, "I never feel comfortable in such and such & dress,” And | have heard them wsay, “1 never put on this dress without feeling gay and Vghthearted,” The reason for this probably i 'hat the “unhappy” dregs has clashing colors or colors which do not harmonize with the woman's personality, while In the pocond case we have u Gress, no doubt, whose coloring Is perfectly harmonlous with Steelf wnd with the spirit of s wearer, I think the gift of color understand. ing 18 the most wonderful that the Great Bource of sll things can give us, Wo know that & painting that 1s the soil of beauty can be uiterly spolled and be made only an ugly daub by retouching bere snd there with different colors, e A I T S e We have all seen how some wonderful Inndscapes wet out as the creator in- tended 1t has been utterly spolled by some glaring wmonstrosity designed by wan, It this 18 so of paintings and nature, how much mors s it so of woman'!
