livery girl and woman is inter-

matching colors, costume jewelry,
summary frocks, hats and the right
shades of makeup.
Climate and season. of course, de-

sidered modish. and they also influ-

rouge.
Nature is an excellent guide for
color harmonieS, and she may always
be followed to advantage in the mat
ter of dress. In her scheme of color
ing she harmonizes the fresh, tender
green of new leaves and grass with
the pinks, pale yellows and blues of
early Spring flowers.
In Summer in our latitude, ner
green's are deeper and cooler to con-
trast with the brilliance of the flowers.
leaf provide darker, wider shade. In
tropical lands, it is true, the heat of
the sun is matched by the vivid, hot
reds, orange, yellows and puppies of
flowers and birds, but we who fear
the heat choose cool colors-blueS,
greens and plenty of white and pastel
shades-to contrast with, rather than
to copy natures Summertime livery
Even dark colorS like navy, brown ana
wine will give a cool effect if COM
bined with large proportion of white
or If used in sheer fabrics over light
slips. Yellow is especially becoming to
brunettes, but 1t is one of the hot
colors: a yellow-green like chartreuse
is cooler looking and just as flattering
to dark skins.
In the Autumn nature turns her
foliage to the soft browns, tans, rus
sets, deep yellow and hectic red, sug-
costing appropriate colors for this
season. When Winter comes we try
to brighten our wardrobes with the
rich greens of evergreen trees, the red
of holly berries and deep, warm
brown and heather mixtures.
The scents of Summer are different
from those of other seasons. In the
Summer the humidity seems to
strengthen the odor of perfume so
that a lighter floral fragrance is in
better taste.
Perfumers and manufacturers cater
to these seasonal perfumes, colors and
makeup, and there is wide range
from which milady may select her

mosa, iris, gardenia, magnolia, orange
blossom, eau de cologne, lavender,
sweet pea, etc. Many of these light
floral odors are obtainable in toilet
waters also.
Sachets, too, may be scattered in
miladys bureau drawers and in her
clothes closet. When applying per-
fume or toilet water, apply it to the
chest, tips of ears, back of the neck.
Use an atomizer to spray on the per-
fume, especially on the hair. BY add
ing a few drops of your favorite per-
fume or toilet water to the last rinsing
water in which you wash your hair
you will leave it delicately perfumed
1t is the elusive. mystifying effect
that makes perfume seem like a part
OF milady's own personality. And the
psychological effects are all in a
woman's favor when they are used
correctly. Cheap scents. heavy odors
and the use of too much perfume
shows bad taste, however.
Skin tints change in hot weather

suit. The shade of face powder and

of conscientious protection from the
hot sun.
Choose a creamy light, medium or
dark shade of sun tan powder or
ivory, morocco or venetian shades.
