OF THE BLOND
Specialist Says It's Preservation Is
Bound Up I'm Oranges and Carrots.

! Inc general impression about blends
Is that their beauty is like the poppy
spread before the bloom has fed This
/ is not true. And even after II IS lost,
the beauty Of fair coloring isn't neces-
sarfly gone forever.
Yes, she is pretty now" a woman
said recently to the New York Tribune
reporter. speaking of an ash blond girl
who will make her bow to society this
winter, but in three years she will be
washed out and older looking than her
mother"
Tn three years." said another woman,
who is an adapt In the art OF beauty
growing. "she will blossom out into some
thing golden. II she only goes about it
in the right way
When asked what she meant by 'the
right way" the optimist proceeded to
explain.
I'm the first place" she began. 1.-THE
beauty OF a blond is the most change
able of all lovely things in the world.
It is as variable as the lights Of an April
day. This, instead of being discouraging
should hearten the blond to cultivate
the color scheme that makes her a
picture. A little forethought rings IN
Vulnerable changes In her face. even in
| her very cast OF feature. for the blond
| girl has oftenest a piquant, tip-ulted
nose-the kind that goes with hair tinged
with gold and red-and these features
are almost as malleable as her coloring
Is changeable. But the coloring Is what
she must consider first
when she is eighteen there isn't any
/ thing special for her 10 debut 20 be

pass and the pink flush OF dawn fades out

! fight for her own.
"All the powders, paints. cosmetics IN

\ Eer other food. OF course-she viii restore

Needless to say the physician prohted
