on the form. 1 viii. illustrate: Take the

The eslors are beautiful and the effect
attractive but they are not graceful The
GA Greeks are the ones women should
study when seeking graceful effects ana
if they wish harmony of colors, let them
study old Japanese prints.

brunette to dress becomingly. All women
with light hair or eyes fancy they should
wear blue. especially delicate tnts of az

Another thing TO remember about pink,

IF you clever shoppers would only take
the goods before buying, throw IL against
