Thursday evening was the only sign o ( re
turning consciousness , but tliul hardly
lablcd the night through. The pulse of the
dear old Indy la nt a low ebb and unless
noino of the } oungcr set hasten the ap
pointed tlmo and glvo UH another hrllliant
wedding or some entertaining matron thrown
open her hospitable doors the demise at
the poor old darno may occur before the
Lenten season.
"Wherever men arc noble they love bright
color , and wherever they can llvo healthily
bright color [ a given them in sky , flea ,
flowers and living creatures. " I do not be-
llovo it is all duo to nobility of character ,
( his love for red. I am Inclined to believe
wo inherit It from our much abused fore
fathers. At least Darwin might find n re
lationship based on even BO slender a
thread.
Hut girlfl , wear red If jour hearts arc
Ringed with a burning dcslro for popu
larity. Gray and vvhtto and all those sub
dued "turtlo dove" colors are charming
enough to fnticlnato the constant one , but
> ou who delight la numbering admirers by
the bcore , whoeo belt dangles with the
scalps of a dozen or mora should wear the
brilliant carmlno nu the touch button. The
advantage of the color IB clearly exempli
fied at a ball or cotillion , when the gay
eavullcra are bewildered by a scu of charm
ing faces , when their heads fairly turn at the
charming array , then the gorgeous crimson
made even moro prominent by the back
ground of whites and delicate tints is the
first to attract the eye , and my Indy of the
red robe is soon the center of a bo\y of
admirers.
One young woman , posscwsed of all the
qualities that fascinate , but whoto means
wcro not sufficient , to keep her In the un
cial" swim , where she would ha\o to cope
with women equally attractive ) and backed ,
tcot by papa's fnt purse , realized that her
ono season at the seashore was the signal
moment of her life. She consulted a fash-
Ici.ublo modiste and her frocks were all of
the poppy hue. Her ball gown was a gor
geous creation of crimson. Her Jewels were
thn old family garnets , but HO set as to at
tract attention for their unique design. Tlio
effort was a signal success. The gown and
necklace having gained for her introduc
tion to the moat select , HUO easily held her
admirers by her wit and eprlghtllnera. Her
other costumes won for her the title "The
woman In red" and that she carried off as
trophy the "biggest catch" of the season
showed the success of the gorgeous hue.
Porbaps no gown elicited more "Ohs ! " or
moro genuine admiration at the Ak-Sar-
llcn ball than that of Mrn. Howaid Dnld-
rlgo , that carnation red ottoman with ap
pliques of black chenille.
It Jsf the typical color of all that IK Joj-
oits and bright and its popularity carries
out the Idea , "Laugh and the world laughs
with' you "
