GRAY-HAIRED WOMEN
NICETIEs IN CoLoRs FOR THEM
TO SELF IT.

There is. I know, quite difference of
opinion in regard to the colors that can be
successfully worn by gray-haired women.
and as long as gray hair does not belong
to any particular age, but Is seen quite
often framing youthful, fresh faces as well
as cfowning the heads of middle age, 1t is
no wonder that the question of becoming
shades Is a perplexing one.
Some authorities claim that gray should
be chosen before all other tones, trying as
much as possible to match gown and hair.
I beg to differ. In the first place, it may
be said there are as many types OF women
as there are shades Of gray, and it is Oh
vious that what might be becoming to the
woman with dainty, fresh pink and white
complexion-and this may be hers whether
twenty-five or ffty-wiIt only emphasize
a saiIow skin and haggard features. which.
too. might belong to either age. Again.
how varied are the tints Of gray hair!
There is the iron gray of the dark hair
just whitening, the undecided gray that
changes fair locks. but which is kinder to
the possessor than the gray of the dark,
In that the contrast is less strong: the
soft. siiyery threads Of old age and the
blue-gray tinge one sees sometimes above
very pretty pink and white youthful faces,
and again as the possession Of woman
with wrinkled skin and muddy complexion.
The iron-gray hair that has come natu-
rally Is perhaps the most difflcuit to deal
with. This lacks both the softness Of the
mixture Of gray and fair hair and the
striking effect of the prematurely gray
hair, which Is really very pretty.
The iron-gray hair spells middle age, and
the woman who has reached this stage
will probably represent either the type OF
the plump and buxom or the very opposite
the lean and spare, the complexion forid
or sallow. There will .be no between, no
matter whether face or figure Is concerned,
except in exceptional cases, OF course. ]
am. however, speaking generally
The plump woman with bright color will
look her best Ii she chooses navy blue,
dark green or black for street wear, al
though dark gunmetal relieved by pearl
or white may be selected. provided the
wearer is not too stout. Gray has ten
reason the thin type of women may select
from any of the silver grays combined
with touches of pale blue or soft old rose,
and look extremely we'll. IL she Is sallow
as well as thin then rich, deep dark red
win be exceedingly kind to her, whether
for house or street use.
White may be worn by both types, but
while the thin woman may add touches of
color to her toilet the one Of more generous
build should exclude them. Her costume
must be entirely white For evening wear
black below the bust will be decidedly the
best possible choice, relieved with a fiat
ivory lace arrangement about the decollet-
age. while for the slighter figure dove gray.
silver blue or rich deep cream, soft fichn
OF chiffon or lace trimming the bust, will
be most suitable. A touch of pale blue or
soft old rose may be the one note OF color.

Almost any woman thinks she knows how
to wash stockings, but the truth is that
many a nice pair of black hose is ruined in
color and tans are old before their time
because of the way they are rubbed.
In the matter of children's hosiery, 1t is
of the utmost Importance that the best
method should be used, for the stockings
of little ones are constantly in evidence.
and when well washed last longer as well
as look better.
The two most common mistakes are made
III using very hot water and rubbing on
soap. The latter especially should never be
done even though the lather is made on
the wrong SIDE
The water should be no more than luke
warm, and all hosiery should be turned
wrong side out. little borax should go
into the water and a good suds be made
with a pure laundry soap.

as wrinkles are out, having the toe up. In
this way the water viii drip out, whereas
II the toe Is down the water IL held longer.
Black pepper In the water will help to set
the color before the first washing and q
little salt answers the same purpose. A
weak alum water Is also good for black.
Children's white stockings require most
careful washing for they become very dirty
about the knees. yet soap should not be
rubbed on.
