LESSON VII-PART Ill
THE EFFECT OF COLOR ON THE
SKIN
The RrOwn-Haired Girl.


Most shades of blue are becoming to
the brown-haired girl with blue eyes.
The color of her eyes is apt to be deeper
blue than in the case of the blonde and
is intensified, not faded, by the juxta-
position of the same color. If the hair
is red, no shade of blue should be at
tempted. Pale pink and salmon pink are
often becoming to red-haired woman,
but, as a rule, she looks best in pure
white or black. which simply form a
back ground for her own vivid coloring.
Brunettes
A dark woman with marked color can
wear both red and the lighter shade OF
rose and pink. If she is at all sallow,
she will find these colors trying. and a
better choice is cream or pale yellow.
Purple is especially becoming to pale,
dark women and the same type generally
looks we'll in warm browns that point
out the darker tints of the hair.
Brown is a safe color for most women.
for the reason that the majority of Amer
lean women have brown hair. The mod
ern rule in choosing coors seems to nc
to match either the color of the eyes or
the hair. and, while this is better than
our grandmother's system, it has its pit
falls. AS have explained, all blue eyes
cannot stand the nearness of blue, and
the same is true of a too general use of
brown; in some cases it kills the life and
color OF the hair. So, in choosing brown
costume, be sure the shade either matches
the hair or is sufficiently darker to form
a relief. W.
With Poor Complexion
Young girls with clear, rosy complex
ion can wear almost any color to advan-
tage; the problem is far more difficult for
the woman past youth or one with dis
colored, sallowed or muddy skin. : Pink,
lovely on the pink-cheeked girl, presents
quite different aspect on the rosy
checked matron. AS women grow older
the natural pink of the cheeks is apt to
be less clear and it often takes on a
blush or magenta hue. When this point
is reached all shades of pink or rose
should be discarded. White is universally
becoming; it enhances the beauty of a
fresh skin and softens the defects of a
sallow one. The darker shades of blue
all have a beneficient effect on the COM
plexion and can safely be adopted by
women of all ages.

STILL IMPORTING TIRES
Gaulois Allowed to Send All
but Solid Types. N

According to advices just received
from France by Jean Grenier, vice
president Of the Gaulois Tire Corpora
ton, the French government, which has
been in virtual control Of the Gaulois
factory in Clermont-Ferrand since the
outbreak of the war. has decided to
permit the expectation of all the COM
pany's products. with the exception of
solid tires. Army quartermasters have
been put in charge of the solid tire
shops, and representative of the
French War Department directs the
shipment of the entire output to vari-
Gus points indicated to him from day
to day in military dispatches.
At present the consumption of Gaul-
ois solid tires by the transportation
corps of the French army is at the
rate of four hundred day. The
workmen in the Gaulois shops now per-
form their tasks in their soldiers
fatigue uniform, and the entire plant
looks like a military camp.
GRulois tires, manufactured for ex
port, have been diverted from Havre TO
Marseilles, and are being shipped TO
New York and South America by way
of the Mediterranean. Mr.. Grenier as
sures users of Gaulois tires in this
country that they need apprehend no
shortage as long as the mastery of the
seas remains with the Allies.

Its Revival Next Spring De-
ponds on Duration of
War-American Compe-
petition Feared.

After a careful and deliberate con-
sideration Of the whole matter, the
British Society Of Motor Manufacs
turers and Traders has decided not 10
hold its annual show in Olympia IN
November This does not necessarily
imply that there will be no Olympia
show until November, 1915, but simply
that the fixture already announced has
been abandoned.
Whether il may or may not be or
ganized in the early months of 1915
depends, IL is believed, on the course OF
events on the Continent. Should the
war take any definite or decisive trend,
such as would justify the society in
considering that a return to the nor
NAL life of the country was immi-
nent, no doubt a spring show in 1918
would be arranged, for the stimulating
and steadying effect of the Olympia
exhibition on the motoring movement
has been too evident to be lightly re-
signed.
At the present time, however, there
is little hope of such a contamination,
as all the portents point TO long, ex-
hausting conflict. Other industrial ex-
hibitons of a similar character are
being abandoned.

British Makers Abandon
Annual Motor Car ShOW

n il should be possible TO hold a
spring exhibition It appears likely that
it will be composite affair, including
both the constituents Of the motor
car and motorcycle shows Of the past,
az the Motorcycle Manufacturers
Union has also decided 20 abandon its
November Olympia exhibition and 10
wait for brighter and happier auspices.
These decisions will have a consid-
cradle influence on the developments
in British design for 1915. To con-
siderable extent shey will check alter
atoms that have not actually been de-
cided upon because demanded by the
public or necessary to keep in line with
trade rivals.
Very probably a considerable num-
Der of manufacturers will continue
their 1914 designs. with the now neces-
sary additions OF an engine-starting
and electric lighting ecu pment form
ing part Of The chassis design, and not
merely a supplement added on demand.
II is obvious that the American
motor trade regards the paralysis Of
the motor car industries OF Europe
caused by the war az offering IL good
opportunity 70 secure q firm, and 1t
may be a permanent, footing in all the
countries OF the Old World. American
makers will be ready on the first in
dcation of trade recovery abroad 20
invade the markets of the United
Kingdom, France. e. many, Austria
and Russia with vehicles the prices OF
which the financial construction caused
by the war will render particularly at
tractive.

Desert Race for Motorcycles.

The date set for the start of the sec
ond San Diego Phoenix motorcycle road
race is November 6. Last years battle
with the sand was one of the most Sc
we're tests of machine and rider ever
made in this country. On this account
the winner of the event, Paul j. c..
Derkum, was chosen to represent the
United States in the international races
on the Isle of Man and in the 50O-mile
event at Dodge City, Iowa. 1t is pre-
dicted that Derkum's time of 10 hours
and minutes will be considerably low
cred this year. The course covers about
three hundred miles, a large part Of
the distance being trackless sand.
