TT happened that / got to see Miss
Fay Wallace very early in the
morning, before that long, reddish
name of hers was tucked up in a
grown-up manner
At the time. her hair was tied with a
big bow of ribbon. and hung down her
back over a negligee of apricot colored
silk and ecru lace The hair and the
silk went beautifully together, and I
found myself studying Miss Wallace's
clever color arrangement of walls and
hangings and cushions, which is all
made to form a most artistic back
ground for this little girl with the red
hair. as she calls it, though 1t is more
auburn.
Miss Wallace has considered this
question Of color very seriously. 1t is
reflected in the light gold color of the
walls. and in the old rose of the cush-
ions, in touches of furnished gold and
brown in the walls. Everything in the
room goes with that hair and brings
out the faint color in Miss Wallace S
white cheeks and the deep brown of her
eyes. .... ;
"a girl with red hair has to study
herself more carefully than the decided
blonde or brunette type" explained Miss
Wallace, when I congratulated her on
her color scheme.
Il adore colors, anyhow, and 90 try
to get the right combinations, and I am
always experimenting to see If can't
find anything better. Colors should be

used to make one look ones very best.
1t is wonderful what a girl can do now
adays to transform herself into a wom-
an Of real charm and beauty. 1t seems
all a matter of an intelligent work and
will power.
Il knew a girl who was absolutely
plain some years ago Nobody admit
ted that she had the slightest claim to
beauty. She was both awkward and
homely Yet year or so after I had
first seen her, she was considerably i'm
proved, and in another twelve months
she had grown into an absolute beauty,
woman who commands attention and
admiration.
"Now. this girl had achieved beauty
! by hard work, careful diet and exercise.
kept her complexion and figure perfect.
She had studied the art of dress. exact
ly as you would take up a course In a
foreign language or mathematics.
when IT came to gesture and pose,
she was perfect; having very few good
points to start with, she studied them
and made the most of them, and in
those things which every girl can con-
troll, her walk, the grace of her carriage,
the charm Of manner, she was abso-
lutely perfect.
"As for color she had mastered the
art OF making that a fattering servant,
which called attention to her looks ana
pointed to the individuality of her type.
The best thing about her was that you
did not feel that she had worked to
create an effect. She seemed perfectly
natural She had studied how to be
beautiful, how to move, how to dress
herself becomingly, and then she seem
ed to think no more of the subject.
That, to me- is a great accomplish
ment, to be unconscious of any effort
you have made to enhance your looks"
Miss Wallace was certainly quite OBJ
livious to the pretty picture she herself
made. as she snuggled in a big chair
with cushions of old rose tucked behind
her. and framing that reddish hair of
hers
You might tell the other girls who
are worrying about their red hair what
colors YOU have found most becoming"
| suggested.
In choosing colors, most women go
by their hair alone" she went on. But
it's really more important to favor the
complexion. Fed red headed people ad-
nit that they can wear rose color, but
find all the pinks, especially the sal
mon shades and the dull old rose shade
bring color to my cheeks and fade out
the freckles which always come in the
summer time.
Take large black hat and face it
with pink; that IS much more becoming
than the violent contrast OF black vel

:: A Nightmare Of Love
By Beatrice Fan1ax

big world whose hair is auburn
and who fears that the fervent
.o.or Of her locks may drive Love away.
let her read the following letter and
take hope:

lace or satin, or whatever the material
may be. The skin always looks yellow
by contrast, no matter how fair 1t really
is, and personally l always insist on
having lace of that nice antique color,
even if it is brand new. You know how
you can get that color, by the way; it's
very simple. If your lace IS good, mix a
little orris root with a little powdered
saffron until you have the color desired,
then rub it into your lace. Have enough
of the powder to cover the lace, and
leave it for several hourst then shake it
out well and brush it. Your white lace
will have taken on lovely old lace
tone which is most becoming, and will
be delicately scented besides.
The coIors that find most effective
are not the brand new vivid colors, and
seldom the fashionable shade of the
moment, but rather the dull, faded col
ors, which have lost that harshness
and brillianCy, beside which both hair
and complexion look dim The most
beautiful colors in the world to me are
the dull and faded blues and grays in
Chinese embroideries.
The girl with red hair has wide
range of color to choose from, if she
will stick to the soft shades, and not
try to dim the briliancy of her hair by
IA violent and startling contrast"

AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Dear Miss Fairfax

Kindly suggest form for the an
nOunCement Of an engagement to
be mailed to friends and relatives
by young couple announcing their
own engagement. K. c. c.
1t is customary for the parents of the
bride to- be to make an announcement
of her engagement. If she is an orphan
the duty falls on an older sister o"
brother, near relative or a friend
This girl can not lack all these. Such
an announcement made by the relative
nearest her would be In better taste
than if made by the girl herself

Editor Times, and to the pistol

and those who wish to become
such, l would like to say few
words which at this time and I'M
der the circumstances, may not
be out Of place. Many OF the
above mentioned no doubt think
that we have a pistol and revolver
club, known as the Tacoma Pistol
club. To such I would Say there
is no such an organization In this
city, that the so-called pistol club
is only a myth, never organized,
has no officers, except one party,
who styles himself president, sec
rotary, treasurer and champion
pistol shot of the Northwest. This
above mentioned party has be-
slowed all of these honors upon
himself and has dictated to and
domineered over the so-called
club until most of our best pistol
shots will no longer attend the
meets, which suits this self-ap-
pointed official, as when there are
only new members and amateurs
in attendance he can generally
(not always) make the high score

Gypsies Who Work! Band From Brazil
Mend Worn Out Copper, Make Fortune

MERCHANTVILLE, N. j., Jan.
1. .-Gypsies who work, Think of
1t. This end of the continent is all
worked up by the visit of a band
of this sort of gypsy.
They came here recently from
Brazil, travelling overland by way
of Panama and the Mexican Dor
der. There are nearly hundred
of them-men, women and chill
dren, mostly children.
The men are skilled copper
smiths. They are getting rich at
their trade. No copper utensil is
too far gone for these men to
mend. They take a copper caul-
dron from which the bottom has
been completely worn and braise
a new bottom, making the expen-
sive cauldron as good as new, for
much less than a new one would
cost. The women earn money tell
ing fortunes. The children beg.
The tribe has a king who settles all
disputes and the money goes into
a common treasury.
That the work of the tribe is
bringing substantial returns was
shown recently when one of the
men was accused of some offense
against the Jersey law and held
In $1,000 bail.
One of the gypsy women stood
in the middle of the camp with her
apron extended In both hands and
one of the tribesmen, apparently
the treasurer of the community,
counted into her apron $1,000 in
bills of various denominations.
A local census taker found that
the live stock of the camp con-
sisted of 25 head of horses, 5
mules, cows, 10 pigs, IS chick
ems, 3 ducks, dogs, 8 cats, IL
snakes, 2 turtles, parrots, 2
canary birds, monkey, IL white
rats, a colony of toads, 2 hives of
bees and an unlimited quantity
of insects.
Granny. Boremeno, the matri-
arch of the tribe, who acknowl-
edges that she is over a hundred
years old, has had children, 10
grandchildren, rs great grand
children, 80 great. great grand
children and 3 great great great
grandchildren.
