Mustard Brown Color Admirably
Adapted to Set OF That Particu-
lar Type Of Beauty.

1t Is strange that most brunettes
with blue eyes do not believe mustard
brown suits them. And yet 1t does
very well. One girl who has black
hair and deep violet eyes invested in
a coat and skirt of this shade, much
against the advice Of her family and
her friends. 1t was of real golden
brown, ornamented at the collar and
cuffs with bands OF mink fur. The hat
was of the same shade. trimmed with
mink tails. The girl had never been
considered particularly pretty until
she donned that dress. which seemed
to bring out all the good points which
other more Bomber shades had never
shown OF to advantage.
Gray is particularly attractive on
the woman with black hair, whose
eyes are blue. She can gown herself
in this color ia almost all OF it's vari-
atoms and feel that she is making q
pleasing appearance. Green Is also q
safe shade. except In very dark olive
color.
The brunette with blue eyes will
never go astray IL she gowns herself
In blue. Electric Is particularly at
tractiva for her, as 1t intensihea the
bluensss OF her eyes, Many b~runettes
stick to this color exclusively, giving
variety to their wapdrobes by wearing
all the different tones.
