NANKIN A DESIRABLE SHADE
Judging from the models, khaki is the first choice
for morning gowns. but it is slightly more up to
date to describe this shade between ecru and buff
as nanlIin. In toile it makes fresh. pretty short
skirt costumes and lends itself to q lot of white
braiding and embro'deries. The black touch in the
form OF n line of black satin ribbon in the cravat
is a nice idea for gown OF this sort. For more
elaborate afternoon gowns the faint shades, violet
green and soft tones OF blue preferred and the
costume is more elaborate If two shades are en-
ployed. such as violet over pale green or tinted

AS in most other feminine affairs there is
fashion in compilations. The prevailing one is to
have very white face with lips of brilliant red.
To attain this effect the skin first Of all must be
kept very clean. Bathe the face with hot water
before going bed, in order open the pores and
expel any dust that may have accumulated during
the day. Then lightly rub over the skin drop
two of sweet almond oil that it may be kept moist
and piable. on rising in the morning sponge the
face thoroughly with water as cold as be
secured This treatment closes the pores and adds
fresh. youthful appearance TO the face. After
ward some suitable powder should be rubbed over
the face very carefully.
In the choice of powder every woman should be
a connosseur, the individual tint and texture
OF the skin being taken into consideration. For
the brunette n pure white or rose tinted powder is
q mistake A slightly brown tinted powder, such
as is used by Spanish women should be chosen.
For the Ivory moderately white skin, powders
tinted with pink are by far the most becoming.
The Parisienne much in the selection
of her pastes and powders as she does in watching
a sample Of dress goods.
The powders chosen for summer should be
those which adhere closely to the skin. a way to
test powder is to rub little the back OF the
hand observing whether it sinks into and
blends with the skin. Powders which have gritty
feeling should be avoided.
