tanned.
Here is an instance. A friend Of
mine has a rather disagreeable shade
of red hair and complexion which is
devoid Of color and could easily look
pasty.
In the old days she would have worn
all the hues of the rainbow and would
have looked hfdeous But this is the
way she manages to make a picture OF
herself: The other evening she walked
into concert wearing a beautifully
fitted gown of figured black velvet
made as simply as possible and without
one touch of relieving color from the
collar to the tip of the long, snaky
train. Her gloves also carried out the
effect, for they were of black suede
Her hat Was black. and under it her
pale face and rudy hair looked pos
itively attractive. Now here comes
the master touch: over all she wore a
stole of snowy ermine and carried a
granny muff of the same. That was
what I call q clever black and white
combina ton.
Of course it may be carried out
equally well in other colors, but black
and white is always effective for the
red or the black haired woman.

Women are studying themselves as
never before. and it must be admitted
that American women are unusually
clever in this respect. It is indeed easy
to see at a glance the difference be
tween the sophisticated and the unso-
phisticated in matters of dress. The
latter bristles with half dozen col
ors. Considered individually, the
things she wears are smart and even
elegant; it is the effect of the whole
which is lacking. The first thing wo-
man learns when she gives her serious
attention to the dress subject is to
eliminate all useless colors. colors
which don't mean anything. Then she
finds out which of them particularly
bring out her hair and eyes, and she
adheres faithfully to them. It is by
simplicity in color scheme that the

HINTS FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER AND lILIINER

z HE handsome blouse illustrated is
fashioned of white satin overlaid
with antique lace. This lace is not
cheap, but the woman who owns an an
ticue bedspread which has outlived its
first usefulness can make a waist of
this kind very reasonably. the only 9th
er expense being for the satin or silk
foundation, which should be of good
quality. as the lace has a very open
mesh. and a common lining would spoil
the effect. Two widths of satin ribbon
herringboned together form the pointed
