 have been asked to give advice
 for the personal benefit of those wo-
 men representing the sandy haired
 class. They undoubtedly have their
 troubles. perhars few more than
 those of decided color1ng, but though
 regarded upon the whole as a rather i plain type 1t can by Judicious dress
 ing become very attractive one. But the trouble is there are so
 many variations of the sandy-haired
 type, each requiring a different treat ment. There is the woman with greenish eyes and hair verging on 1 fiery red. Another has eyebrows and l eyelashes so light as to be almost in | visible, pale blue eyes and not in
 frequently red-rimmed. or they seem l to be red Trimmed because the hairs are so light.
 l The hair is, is a rule. genuinely sandy.
 1 Then there is the woman whose skin is a grayish white, and whose ! lips are a paliSh purple rather than
 red She will often nave good eyes,
 but rather hfeless looking hair. l Unfortunately few eandy-haired
 women have much color in their clocks. When the hair is abundant
 and of a pretty reddfsh-gold shade then the absence of color in the face is not important, but when the I 1 co1oring of hair anc eyes what might i be termed inspidid, then a, good deal ] of skill is necessary in order to secure I-success. One must dress up to the best point she possesses. It may be eyes, it may be hair. and, again, it may be eornplexion. for, be it said. all sandy-haired women have skins of fine texture, but unfortunately they 1 also invariably manage to gather a crop of freckles.
 A few of these tiny brown patches may not be objectionable but an abundance is certainly undesirable Since it is acknowledged that wo- men of the sandy-haired type are usually most intelligent and quick witted, very often 8 wornan's manner will gain her reputation for good looks She is so pleasing people think she must be pretty too. So if one feels she has no especially good fea- ture to dress up to let her study man ner.
 To get down to the point, the list of colors becoming to the sandy haired type is decidedly limited
 This class will do well to canf,ne toilets to black and white if the best there is in hair and complexion are to be brought out. When the eyes are the best feature then colors may be considered. But black and white is her safeguard In certain colors she will be nonentity, in others common looking. It is safe to say all women Of this type should avofd pale browns yellowiSh tans and undecided or neu- tral tones of fawn and ecru, as being too near akin to the color of the hair and, when frecklee, the complexion, too, to be a, success. Green will not be bad, no matter what the color of the eyes if there is a slight flush of pink upon the cheeks and the lips are red and healthy rocking, and the he of iof 1leS-c vio1ets. When the eyes are light, rather washed-out-1ooking blue, a blue dress will intensity the tone, but at the same time the shade of the hair must be considered also.
 If there is much red in it then a light blue must be avoided because, the blue of the eyes being deepened. the contrast between hair and eyes will be to strong. Darker shades of blue will be safe and green is usually attractive when pale blue fails.
 Light green light gray and light blue eyes are often of a transparent quality, easily ref1ecting other coIors. Few women Of the type tQ question
