successful hostess upon being asked
the best color scheme. Pink bears
both the daylight and the artificial
light equally well. and is always be-
coming, fact not to be overlooked by
a thoughtful hostess.
Blue changes to green at night, but
under certain conditions it is rather
good scheme to use it, Yellow is not
a satisfactory color to have at night,
as 1t is apt to look faded from the
sunlight. Violet is not good at night,
but at present is much in favor for
spring luncheons, with corsage bou-
quets at each place for the guests.
Red is rarely used in warm weather,
but is always delightful in winter time,
carrying with suggestion of warmth
and welcome that is grateful. A North
side hostess invariably uses red the
year round, as 1t harmonizes with her
furnishings and service, SO that the
color has come to be recognized as
