So IL one feels she has no especially good
feature to dress up to let her study man

To get down TO the point, the list of
colors becoming to the sandy-haired type
is decidedly limited.

out. When the eyes are the best feature
then colors may be considered But
black and white is her safeguard. In GER

all women of this type should avoid pale

Darker shades of blue will be safe, and
green is usually attractive when pale blue

forgotten that the sandy-haired woman
seldom or never shows her age. She al

Her figure. too, is usually slight, so she
should choose simple toilets. II they are

favorably when she reaches middle age
