BLONDE OR BRUNETTE BEAUTY.

BLONDE Ok DbAOlts
An artists rule as to color Isl Choose
carefully only those tints of which a du-
plicate may be found in the hair, the
eyes, or the complexion. A woman with
blue.gray eyes and thin, ueutral-tinted
complexion is never more becomingly
dressed than in the blue shades IN which
gray is mixed, for in these compilations
there is certain delicate blueness. A
brunette is never so exquisite as in cream
color, for she has reproduced the tinting
of her skin in her dress. Put the same
dress on a colorless blonde and she will
be far from charming, while in gray she
would be quite the reverse. The reason
is plain-in the blondes sallowness there
are tints of gray, and in the dark woma1's
palor there are always yellowish tones,
the same as predominant in the cream
colored dress. Women who have rather
florid compilations look we'll in various
shades of plum and hcliotrope, also in
certain shade, of dove-gray, for to a
trained eye this color has tinye of pink,
which harmonizes with the flesh of the
face. Blondes look fairer and younger
in dead black like that OF wool goods or
velvet, while brunettes require the shcel
of satin or gloss of silk in order to wear
black to advantage. FIssion Basqr.

When meat is to be boiled be sure and
put it into boiling water to start with,
as that closes the pores instantly and

In the care of the hair it is important
to brush it thoroughly on the "'wrong
side" For instance, when the hair is
worn rolled back from the face it should
be parted and brushed, and if the Golf

and also we'll brushed. Attention to this
seemingly trifling detail, and to having
the scalp massage daily, will insure
