COLOUR AND HEALTH.
Brown for warmth, green for the eyes, grey for comeliness, yellow for cheerfulness, red for the spirits, blue for the unstable temperament, "rfhite for elegance, and pink for the sentimental. This was the quaint but instructive colour chart given mo (says a writer in tho "Westminster Gazette") by an axtist who has become famous by reason of his daring schemes for homo decoration. I found.a nerve specialist who has a blue suite in the "West End, and he told me wo did not use enough blu® in our homes. It was the colour for the nenves. The same afternoon a furnishing expert waxed furious over blue, and declared it should share with green the monopoly of schools and prisons and public buildings. So there is no finality iu the matter of colour, and therefore we must pass guarded judgment.
