and in her voice as she stood over her

"And did so want them for the tn.

Colors That Make You Look Thin.

White makes woman look innocent,
winsome and classic. Clear white is for
the blond, cream white for the brunette.
Is it not the woman in white who has all
the attention and the wide eyed young
thing in white with blue ribbon
who captures all the beaux?
"Black suits the fair" poet tells us.
1t is the thinnest color a stout woman
can wear; indeed, the woman who wears
black to best advantage is she who is
stout and has black eyes and black hair.
1t is we'll known that in gowns of certain
colors flesh seems to shrink; in others
to expand.
A subdued shade of blue, helitrope
and olive green with black, of course,
are the colors under which flesh seems
less ostentatious, while wedgewood blue,
pale gray and almost any shade of red
are to be avoided. Mauve and the
higher shades of green are the two
colors that in decoration about the throat
and shoulders are especially helpful in
the effect of fiesh.-McCalrs
