A New Wrinkle.


ANY girl who studies the possibilities

wearing pink and went over to blue

thought blue harmonized with Howard's
complexion better than any other
color says the New York Press.
THAT is the exact reason" admitted
the sophisticated girl. I hate blue and
always did. but I've concluded that it
is policy to wear it. Fortunately. I have
a complexion that can stand it, SO I
don't have to sacrifice my-er-Tny
good looks to diplomacy. Had that been

Old Styles Revived.
There is to be a revival in fashion Of

Another old-fashioned ornament has
had a use found for it. The large gold
