'A PLEA 1 FOR COLOUR. Women would confer a boon on their fellow creatures of the other sex if they , would avoid as muoh as possible the sombre hues related to' Black, and revel in the delightful Summer Tints.. . Nature is an excellent guide to-fharmonise colour, and she does not dress her,flowers in ebon black. Let men wear blaok coats by all means; their pale virtues can be distinguished only by oontrast ; with. ; ,t|ieir sombre vestment and the light of truth shed'by a man in decent black ; gains thereby an added lustre. "Women require no such aids to omphasise, the .native iradiance of. her soul, the sparkle of her. eyes, the glint of hor hair, or the,blush of. herocheseks. , 'Would she emulate the whiteness of the fleecy summer clouds,, the incomparable bluo of ,the summer skies, the golden glory of the daffodil, the roseate beauty of the -summers rose, or the fresh green of the velvet lawns? Black is depressing,'and always - has 'depressing associations. Artists never portray angels in black. The hues of Iris, a feast of colour, is what we .most need, and fashion has placed no limitation on women's choice of colours; hence there can be no excuse for affecting the dullness , and dreariness .of black. Clothes are supposed to be decorative, and black is"the : negatvve.o£(colour..ii:. A QOROEOiJS DISPLAY OF LIGHT SUMMER FABRICS.

IN SELECTING A PIANO DON'T bo misled by the appearance of the case, which in cheap and / poorly-con-structed instruments is often meant to catch the eye of the novice, the tone being such that the trained ear suffers untold tortures, even in trying a few bars over on what otherwise appeared a splendid instrument. Select an instrument that will last a lifetime, that speaks to your soul, that will not offend the ear to please the eye. There are many makes, but few so really reliable as regards faultless construction,, elegant finish, and richness of tone, M THE "HAAKE PIANO."BUT ONE TO-DAY.
