Blond or Brunette.

The other day we were talking about
choosing colors in face powder to ac-
centuate the complexion, or rather to
accentuate the type to which you be-
long; that is, you must be very blond
or very brunette. or, If you are in be-
tween and unable to emphasize your
colorine. then you must choose one
thing and play this up to make 1t the
most noticeable feature about you. For
instance, If you cannot be strikingly
blond or strikingly brunette. take some
good feature-your ewes perhaps-and
bring these out. or your hair. or even
your teeth II they are your best point.
If you are anywhere near TO being
either decided blond or brunette. you
can do a lot to emphasize your coloring
by the sort OF clothes you wear. Sup

are blue but not very decided blue.
and hair that is golden without being
strikingly so. Well. then. go out and
buy or make yourself a dress of real

with It either scarf or a fairly large
tie of rather vivid blue At once you
have established yourself as the real

these two colors in your dress bring out
the two colors in yourself you want
most to show. II your eyes have more
green in them than blue. substitute
jade or apple-green in the scarf and

sea-water shade.
To emphasize your type. which means
making blond hair more golden and
dark hair ruddier, wear not the color

A Sermon for Today
Forgetting Kindnesses,
M REV. JOHN n. 6UNN

Text: "Yet did not the chief butler
remember Joseph. but forgat him. -
Gen, xl23.
It will be recalled Joseph had been
imprisoned by Potiphar on q false accu-
sation brought against him by poti-
phar's wife. Later. for some fault, the
chief butler from Pharaoh's household
was cast into the same prison with
Joseph. The butler had a dream that
troubled him interpreting his dream
Joseph told him that he would shortly
be restored to his place as chief butler
in the kings household. Happy over
this joyful prediction. the butler prom
ised to remember his prison friend
when once more he stood before
Pharaoh
But the moment the butler was out
Of Jail he forgot all about his fellow
prisoner. In the Joy of his own release
he forgot Joseph and left him linger-
ing In Jail. when he might have spoken
a good word for him and secured his
release.
"UnHrateful wretch" We cry And
yet many OF us are guilty OF the same
sort OF inEratitude toward our friends
We have had friends TO do us many
favors and kindnesses which we have
long since forgotten. How prone we
all are to forget kndnesses. Every day
many gracious and kindly things are
done To us. and yet how soon some OF
us forget them and those who did them
as we'll
Later the chief butler remembered
his fault and redeemed himself. He
remembered Joseph and told Pharaoh
about him, with the result that Joseph
was released from prison and sum-
moned 10 the palace, Never mind the
details OF the story. Being reminded
of our ingratitudes and forgetfulness
be no less disposed than this pagan
butler to find some way OF redeeming
ourselves. We may not repay all the
kindnesses done us. but we can repay
some of them

OF these money is the most artificial
