LONDON, Aug. 19.-Titian locks
have become craze and are now at
the very forefront of fashion. Some Of
the prettiest society women in London
have richly tinted hair. Among these
are Lady Anglesey, Lady Mary Sack
Vile, Mrs. Leopold Canning and Mrs.
Clayton Glyn, who wrote "The Vicis-
sltudes of Evangeline," which describes
the successes of red haired woman.
Surely fashion changes. Every wom-
an who had red hair was nicknamed
Carrots" thirty years ago and to tell
her boldly that she had red hair was
to wound her almost as deeply as to
reflect on her honor. But the late Mrs.
Haweis wrote q book called 1.-THE Art
of Beauty in 1878, which was the first
word in favor of the red haired sister
hood. Since then red hair has gained
steadily in favor.
But she who boasts the locks that
Titan painted must robe herself with
delicate care and in strictest harmony
with her coloring. If she would be per-
fectly dressed let her go to a picture
gallery and study the old masters and
modern artists who are in unison as
to how red headed woman should ar
ray herself.
CoIors to Wear
Romney's portrait of Lady Hamilton
as "Cassandra" shows this divine
LADY, with her ruddy locks crowned
by a wreath OF dark green leaves; and
she wears a white gown that has
touches of gold, and round her shoul-
ders a cloak of greenish blue coloring.
Then, the art Of 1905 gives proof of
equal care in the choice of color har-
monies. At the royal academy may be
seen John Golfers famous picture,
"The Cheat" In this the woman who
remains seated-of course the culprit
lis represented as a handsome, red
haired woman. garbed in a gown of
golden gauze, toned down by touches
of dark brown velvet. And another
charming picture presents a pretty,
red haired girl reading a book and
dressed in gown of deep, vivid violet
hn admirable contrast to her FURNISHED
hair and delicately tinted complexion.
The rules Of art prove that white,
black, brown, green and some shades
bf gold and violet will set off the I'll

Whether or not they study the pic
lures, the red haired women in society
select their gowns and jewels most ar
tistically and with marked success.
Before Lady Anglesey went into
mourning for her prodigal husband she
wore brown and pale green and once
scored triumph at palace ball
dressed in green and gold, with her
wonderful parure of emeralds.
Lady Mary Sackville looks we'll in
black and never appears to greater
advantage than when wearing black
or dark green velvet costume.
Mrs. Leopold Canning, still very
young woman, is at her best in white
with touch of coloring.
Miss Wemyss, daughter Of Lady
Lillian Wemyss. is yet another red
haired beauty, and she wears white or

Shades to Avoid
A handsome woman with auburn
locks once looked supremely well In
gray chiffon with a necklace of fine
hmethysts and on another occasion, in

beautiful emeralds. And on winters
morning this same woman appeared
to advantage in brown gown. wear

rule red. bright blue or bright yellow
are better avoided by red-haired folk.
as also rubies. topazes and turquoises.
But, all the same, Lady Anglesey was
superb at fancy ball dressed as
'Flaming June" wearing f1ame-col-
ored robe and her head garlanded with
red roses.
