This follows in an interesting way from the structure of the retina of the eye. Black letters grow thinner at the limit of vision and are still recog nizable, while at the same distance white letters grow thicker and can not be distinguished. There are cir cumstances, however, when it is nec essary to use white letters, but in such cases legibility will be improved if they are made with a thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black letters are more distinct if made with a heavy stroke. AT THE ISIS NEXT WEEK The week opens Sunday m atinee and evening and Monday night w ith the celebrated Sessile Hay- W anted—A housekeeper.
