Color for Older Women.

Pink is very becoming to a wom-
an with gray hair, provided that she
still retains fresh complexion,
while white and gray and mauVe
are always attractive with gray or
white hair. So then woman whose
locks have turned has four colors
which may be used singly or in COM
bination with excellent effect. A
touch of turquoise blue is also well
suited to the woman with white hair
and a Dresden china skin.
Black, of course, is always be-
coming to the woman of maturer
age, and in black and white she ap-
pears younger perhaps than in any
other combination. 1t is said that
in the street a woman of any age
looks better in a trim black suit,
and this is certainly true of the ma
jority of women.
A woman approaching middle life
should avoid fussiness in her dress,
clinglng more to simple lines and
strictly avoiding too large hat and
too pronounced patterns in dress
goods.
If she follows this rule she will
take at least ten years off her age
and prove what is now so OTTER
claimed. that the modern woman
never grow old. A close examina
ton of the women who bear living
proof of this assertion will show
that their young appearance is no
gained by recourse to costumes
suited to a miss of 16. but by a care
full regard to suitability and becom
ing taste in dress. A woman appear
younger in a dress which is becom
ing to her than she does in on
adapted to the age which she wishe
to be considered.

Were any one to suggest, In the
course OF ordinary conversation
that in the matter OF physical

be laughed to scorn. Whether such
scorn would be justified depends GU
