it seems pity for any girl not to be

ASTRAL CoLoRs NOW.

AS though women had not trouble
enough in selecting clothes that Will
harmonize with their eyes and hair.
they are now told that they must con-
slider their astral co1ors too. They are
solemnly assured that health and happi-
ness depend upon their harmony with
this mysterious hue but no instructions
are given as to how it is to be har-
monized with the colors that are de-
manded by the hair, eyes and complex
ion, upon which, as everyone knows.
health and happiness both depend.
For those born in December, for in

like chamois leather, and hair like I'M
