A great many girls write ia TO ask
me what type" they are. OFTEN l
have only q description to go by and
there Is nothing more misleading than
a brief description of a girl given by
herself! Sometimes snapshot comes
along, that helps a lot. If it is large
enough and clear enough to show
much of the face.
In our country we are many types,
and most of us an amalgamation OF
several But where it is possible to
accentuate one type more than an
other, the results will be interesting
TO the girl herself. For instance, if
YOU sec a combination of Irish and
Spanish, try making yourself as much
blonde Irish, or as deeply brunette
Spanish as you can and see which
type" is strongest in you. 1t isn't so
easy! If you are dark, you should &C
centuate your darkness in every way;
If fair, emphasize your blondness and
daintiness. But If you are in-between,
try to make yourself look definitely
one thing or the other--if you can.
You can do lot with face powders
and such things, and with color com
binations. Suppose you are moderate

For these reasons II is now the Gus

This use Of cod liver oil as a pre-

the prevention of constipation. Not
that cod liver oil is a physic or laxa-

ways. Designers of fabrics appreciate

be it costly or actually cheap, these
elements must be right, or poor results
are sure to follow.
Color Groups.
There are groups of colors for each
consideration. For example, strong
untoned shades give luminosity. That
is, they add an effect of brilliance that
S.fI
This group, the chief colors of which
are red and yellow, must be reserved
for dark rooms those on the north
side of a house, or, strange to say,
for sun parlorS. Just why the latter
place calls for gay colol"s is somewhat
puzzling. If the sun parlor is actually
sunny the blaze of more color is super
f1uous, but when a glaSSed-in piazza
that is not sunny comes under the
heading of a "sun parlor," then the
blilliancy is essential. In either in
stance the prime idea in stressing color
in sun parlor decoration seems to be
that out-of-door places suggest blue
skies, gay flowers and sunlight-hence
strong color. But be bit wary in in
Producing strong colors in a sun par
lor that is drenched with sunshine. Do
not hesitate to use bright colors in
north rooms. They need it.
Toned COlOrS.
Apart from the tones that add TO
or advance" colors are those that
subtract from or diminish color.
These are the "grayed" colors, mel
lowed by a darker toning, either as
an overprint, an underprint or by
mixing the colors before being applied
to the fabric with black in a modified
form. Practically all Of the rare and
choice colors are either toned by
process or by time. These softened
colors are the ones to use at the ma
jority of windows and are always cor
rect in rooms where light is strong.

Tumblers that have been used

washed in cold water before
they are washed in hot. When
this is done the milk does not
stick to the glass and it will not
have a cloudy appearance.
Macaroni and rice are best

Cooked in this way they will not

is a warm green in which yellow pre-

blue predominates. Think of these
characteristics when you are select
ing green hangings and have your
choice on the right side to suit the
room you are curtaining. The same
idea of varying color balance is true
to a lesser degree with all so-called
neutral colors. They may have bal
ance in favor of either the luminous
or the cold or be absolutely between
the two-a perfect balance. The
tones that vary somewhat from the
absolute neutral are most pleasing.

Light through white sheer curtains
may be glaring and hard on the eyes
