The colors particularly to be avoided BY th,
fair blonde are yellow, orange, red, and purple
The latter msv be u.ed in it's light shades Of Ii
lac, but is sven thon trying to the completion
although not to an important degree il separat
ed from positive juxtapositlon By an edging o1
tulle, or similar trimmings. The injurious in.
duence OF lilac is much leBsened when associat-
ed with it's harmonizing colors, such ~ cherry
scarlet. light crimson, gold or gold-color.
On no account must green be coupled
with lilac, a. it forms . positive discord.
4 small proportion OF light purple is agreeable
in headdress for light hair, but must not be
placed near tho skin. Neutral coiors accord
we'll with fnir complexion; when not too dark,
they, as a rule, giye yatue to tie natural COM
plexion; when dark, they raducs the tone by
contrast. The best neutrals for the fair blonde
ara gray, farm. slate, dra6, and some shades OF
brown.
Before we proceed to treat Of black as regards
itB own value with the complexion, We may re-
mark that associated in trimmings {such as mar
TOW ribbons, braided work, or l.ce) With any Of
the above colors. it has tendency to hesghten
their effect, especially by gas-light. This is
particularly artificial light. Black, although SD
10 its effect, aud tbs acknowledged garb OF
mourning. il nevertheless highly favorable to
the fair blonde who has 4 considerable amount
the complexion. Il has somewhat disadvan-
tagoous effect On pale skins, bleaching them BY
powerful contract. No delicate color can be as
sociated With black without appearing lighter in
tons
To remove the sombre Or gloomy effect OF
Al the following Blue. cherry, drab. mulberry,
or lilac. Cherry and lilac should be used very
sparingiy for fair complexious. White is suit
apIe with black, but is cold and harsh unless
soma color BE- added. Red must not be used with
black, as 1t giyes It rusty t1ngee. black bon
net agrees wall with fair complexion, and may

with white alone. Rose must be kept we'll away
from the face. White feathers are graat I'M

White il similar in its effects to black; 1t

think it il better to digress little and explain
hose terms, tints, hues, shades. and tones. as
find there are are very few who know the pre-
iee meaning OF them.
First, will commence with the local color. l. |
ocal color is the color OF fabric laid dat On =
able where there is neither extreme light nor |
xtrema shade. an even light coming from the ]
loEth. By this light the dyer Judges the color
i his dye and the artist paints his pictures. The
Egyptian artists for thousands OF years painted
be faces in their pictures using the local colors

Take that piece OF red cloth towards the light

ake it into the nhade and it will be dull tone !

rimary or secondary colors yellow, red, blue,
