mo Womani is ugly when she isdressed."
Only Lord Chesterfield could have been
guilty Of such a perversion Of the truth.
II he bad used the word dressed" adj
vissdly and meant clothed with a due 70
gard to the selection Of becoming colors
and 10 the cut and style Of the gown to
suit the individuality Of the wearer, he
wa undoubtedly right-no woman is
ugly who is artistically and becomingly
dressed. But so few women seem to know
what oolors will enhance or destroy their
good looks, what style Of gown will con-
zeal their defects and heighten their
charms, and what way Of arranging their
hair win improve their faces, that dress
oftimes instead Of adding beauty to the
appearance has the contrary effect.
People who are flOrid must be careful
what reds they use even more than pale
people. A deep blue red, that red sug-
gested in q plumb or the velvet leaf Of a
red pansy that has caught q shade from
the petals Of its near neighbOr the dark
blue pansy, is the color for ilorid complex
ions. Grown people should be careful
not 10 wear bright red. As Modjeska
observes: GAS one grows older red Is
more becoming above the face than below
IT," Dark cardinal velvet above gray
hair and dark eyes has a most charming
effect.
Pink is the 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
adazzlingly beauteous being could sur
vive the uglifying effect Of this depraved
color, and then 1t must be combined with
white.
Dark green is an almost universally be-
coming color. Itannnls the tinge Of green
there may be in the complexion; for this
reason brunette people generally look well
in green.
Only those who have an exquisite com-
Plexion should dare to wear pale green.
II the compilations are clear, rosy, fair
and dark have equal privileges.
Dark green, combined with pale blue,
Is becoming to brunettes with clear, pallid
compilations.
Yellow is delicious color-a favorite
hue Of the old masters and old Dame Ma
ture. Warm yellow has a good effect on
the complexion. It makes the skin look
fairer than 1t really Is. It goes pleasingly
with many colors. A brunette will look
particularly handsome in 4 green yellow.
Mustard color, which is insufFerable by
daylight, is simply delicious in the gas
light. Pale blue and yellow is harsh. A
good rule Is never to combine two colors
Of equal intensity. One Of two colors
should be dull and not too pure.
Yellow will blend with old gobelin blue,
with heliotrope and certain shade u blue
grays. Amber Of all shades is exec lingly
becoming to dark people.
People with blue eyes should not wear
bright blue. 1t makes their eyes look
faded and detracts from the bloom Of the
complexion.
Black should be worn advisedly by both
old and young. The young men wear ii
better than the old. It brings out clearly
the hard lines in the face and seems to
deaden the bloom Of the skin.
Golden hair blondes, red haired maids
and matrons and dark people with clear,
rosy compilations can wear black and look
well. All Others can modify It's harden
ing effects by combining white, red,
orange, gray or yellow with It.
All but people with very coarse com
Plexions look exceedingly well in white.
Every color can be made becoming by
being aTtistically arranged and relieved
by another color, or by the soft, subduing
effects Of net or lace or airy tulle.-Nsw
