possible for the red haired damseI. The
Fashionable shade is perhaps exactly
cit for the blond and yet quite an i'm,

locks and black eyes
The art Of dressing we'll consists in

because it is fashionable

1t is taken as II general rule that in
choosing ,plDlS orp should try to match
either the eyes or hair as nearly AZ
possible
This rule. however. cannot be laid
down as an invariable one. rs very
great deal depends on the complexion
The girl with Il sallow skin. for in

bright compleXioned sister teven
though the eyes and hair are simi!ar'
will not do for her mt all
The coors that are safe for practi
caly every one are dark. blues. mauve
ard certain shades Of green. Pale or
sallow skinned girls should. however.
avoid the two latter colors.
Black is becoming to auburn. fair
and red haired girls and to brunettes if
really nice complexion goes along
with their dark hair and eyes.
For the girl with golden or auburn
hair there Is nothing more becoming
than black A soft black hat trimmed
with masses of black tulle is just right
for her in the matter of headgear.
Certain shades of blue and soft grays
and green's will also suit her, while
white may always be worn without
hesitation.
The chief colors that the auburn or
red haired girl should avoid are rose
pink, crimson. bright violet and vivid
green.
Nearly all wallfower shades are suit
able for the brunette. Rich browns
with a speck Of orange, bright yellow
or emerald green will look charming
Certain tones of gray green and mauve
pink will also do nicely for the dark
haired girl
The blond may wear practically all
that the auburn haired girl may wear.
Pale cuiors. especially blues and rose
pinks. as Il rule. suit her. though again
much depends on the complexion.
Browns should he very carefully
, chosen Light brown haired girls gen
orally look better III pretty brown
shades than In any other color.
brunette should choose a terra Gotta
shade If she longs for brown frock.
| 1t is quite impossible to lay down
any hard and fast rule as to the co,ors
that will suit you The only way Is to
try them.
If you are choosing ready made
frock get an artistic friend to go with
you. and make sure of procuring some
thing that Is becoming to you.
II you are purchasing material do
likewise 1t is well worth your while
to take the utmost trouble about it
