Grays are particularly good this fall,
especially the taupe shades, that hint OF
pink and brown, and the smoke hues, that
are so becoming to women who have clear
compilations.
The model illustrated shows an effect

a paler gray, the lighter shade appearing
in the skirt. vest and fatings. while the
darker charmeuse makes up the overdress
and blouse. The skirt is narrow and
long all around, while the tunic. in
single section. is started at the side, hung
evenly, and then has the edges draped
across each other in surpiice fashion. The
draping is done at the waist line, 80 that,

long, graceful folds.

The cuff is closed only at the top, the

and very smart. The vest. with its three
tabs buttoned across. each with a polished

Grape Juice Cosmetics.

The grape cure is highly recommended
to those who want to have a beautiful
complexion and one way of carrying ii
out is to take wincglassful OF the juice
of freshly squeezed grapes every morning
an hour before breakfast.
At night before going to bed the face
and neck should be spatted with fresh
cream, which should be allowed to remain
on for about ten minutes and then be
washed off with moderately hot water.
The skin should be dried by soft dabbngs
with a fine towel.
When the skin is quite dry the finger
tips should be dipped In fresh grape juice
and the face and neck bespatted with it.
The juice should be left to dry on. and
then the face should be massaged lightly
to remove the rather strained feeling.

1t Is composed as follows: Mercury,

% parts; oleate of mercury, 2 parts,
The suet, If bought from the butcher,

warm, and then stir in the mercury
and oleate of mercury. Use a
