PRIMARY COLORS 
PURE blue, red and yellow, the primary colors, are the col- 
ors of the spectrum. When a ray of sunshine passes 
through a glass prism it is decomposed or separated, and if 
the prismatic colors are received upon a white screen you will 
there find a pure blue, pure red and pure yellow, and to avoid 
misapprehension when speaking of colors it is necessary al- 
ways to refer to an invariable type or standard of color, so 
that blue does not mean a Prussian or a cobalt blue, but the 
blue of the spectrum, and, in a weaker degree, of the rain- 
bow. 
CUP AND SAUCER AND PLATE— FLORENCE E. SEGSWORTH 
FOR the plate design, the dotted portions are to be green ; 
the black band in rich blue, with pale yellow or gold 
flowers; outlines gold. 
For the cup and saucer use the same colors, adding pale 
turquoise blue in the lined space. A wide band of gold on 
the edge would look well. The dotted and lined spaces might 
be treated in flat enamel. This design should be carefully 
executed, otherwise it would look ordinary.
