mo woman is ugly when she is
dressed" Only Lord Chesterfield could
have been guilty Of such gallant per-
version of the truth.
, If he used the word dressed" advised
ly and meant clothed with due regard
| to the selection of becoming colors and
to the cut and style of the gown to suit
the individuality of the wearer he was
undoubtedly right-no woman is ugly
who is artistioally and becomingly
dressed. But so few women seem to
to know what colors will enhance or de-
stroy their good looks. what style Of
gown will conceal their defects and
heighten their charms and what way Of
arranging their hair will improve their
faces, that dress ofttimes instead of add
ing beauty TO the appearance has the
contrary effect.
People who are forid must be careful
what reds they use even more than pale
people. A deep blue red-that red sug-
gested in plum or the velvet leaf Of a
red pansy that has caught shade from
the petals of its near neighbor, the dark
blue pansy-is the color for forid com
plenons. Grown people should be care
full not to wear bright red. As Modieska
observes, "As one grows older red is
more becoming above the face than be-
low it." Dark cardinal velvet above
gray hair and dark eyes has a most
charming effect
Pink Is most becoming for fair, young
people. Rose color, combined with
black, white or gray, can be worn with
impunity by the youthful and fair.
Magenta should be suppressed. Only
a dazziingly besuteous being could sur
viye the uglifying effect of this depraved
color, and then it must be combined
with white.
Dark sage green is an almost univers-
ally becoming color. 1t annuls any
tnge Of green there may be in the com
plexion; for this reason brunette people
generally look well in green.
Only those who have an exquisite com
plenon should dare 10 wear pale green.
If the complexions are clear, rosy, fair
and dark have equal privileges.
Dark green combined with pale blue
Is becoming to brunettes with clear.
