Light Blue Not Best
Color for Blondes

In spite OF advice to the contrary,
blondes should avoid the lighter shades
OF blue, which make their compilations
seem ashen. The darker shades, how
ever. throw the complexion in high
relief and are vastly becoming.
True brunettes should not wear blue,
which makes the skin yellower than
ever, but tiorid brunettes can do so.
Blondes may wear green. but not bru-
nettes. Pale brunettes may wear any
shade Of red but crimson. which, how
ever. looks we'll on the blonde. Yellow
is the best color for pale brunettes,
especially for evening wear. It clears
the complexion and sets or the dark
eyes and hair wonderfully. r

been changed around. 1t was
never arranged right, so the
change was made. The judges

of the room is in the north. We

now occupied by the probate

As the court room is now ar

better.
