Es AND THEIR TREATMENT

Every woman can be attractive, even
pretty. if she wears becoming colors.
8ut they must be harmonious corre-
spending not only with the hair. eyes
and skin, but with the surroundings.
For instance. when out of doors the
tones should be atmospheric green. gray,
mingled shades Of the flowers, etc, and
when in the house the shades should be
in keeping with the surroundings-at
least this is the opinion of a most sue
cessful portrait painter
IF a woman wears a gown that
mingles with the eoiors that are every
where around her she0is never conspicu-
ous," the artist says, for ashe is a part
Of the surroundings and blends in with
the general color scheme How much
more effective hostess would be in her
own home, and what differnet atmo-
shere she would create for her guests
if she were part of the general color
feeling in her rooms. instead of being
frocked in shade that clashed with
furniture, hangings, rugs, etc.
AS no woman is so colorless that
some tone will not bring a certain
warmth and harmony in her features,
so none is SO homely that her looks cam
not be softened to a pleasing appear
ance if the right shades are used in the
eyes, hair and flesh must be carefully
considered; also the kinds of light that
certain robes will be worn in, for choos-
ing suitable shades is really an art that
lew women even know the rudiments of.
In the spring women Invariably burst
out in bright pinks, blues, like the flow
ers, delighted evidently to get away from
the dark sober tints used during the win
ter. They put on all these pastel shades,
whether they are harmonious or not, un-
consciously, believe, because nature
puts out blossoms in light shades and
makes curious combinations of colors. If
women in putting ON these bright tones
woud only follow nature and suit them
to their physical coloring how much more
beautifully gowned they would be. For,

"a delicate blonde, with blue eyes and
a glory of golden hair, should subordinate

ness of it, thus giving the yellow strands
particular prominence. During the day
gray-that is, yellowish, not greenish
tint-should be worn, but never the pale
blues and pinks that, as ule, pale
mblondes are so fond of wearing in the
sunlight. These should be avoided be-
