TIME riot OF spring costume coIors
that greets us on every hand
calls for greater variety Of
u shades of nail polish than We
have heretofore found necessary.
Finger tips must be keyed to harmonic
with ones frock and to allow for the
many color schemes in vogue it Is
necessary to have a choice of colors
ready to use at moments notice.
For all the violet and fuschia tones
and the blues with purple tinge, the
reds that contain blue are good COM
panions. When you get into the brown
family of colors the polish that in
clines toward rust is well liked. These
russet rose shades, so adapted to
London tan will be increasingly popu-
lar as we get into the season OF out
door sports and take on a coating
of sunburn. For the person whose
skin is on the brunette side, this color
is very becoming.
We hear that natural colored nails
are again good for daytime, but judg-
ing from sight instead of sound, COL
ored enamels seem to be in the
limelight for both day and evening
wear. Color is matter of personality
and each one will decide the question
for herself.
A very popular make of creme nail
polish that does not chip or peel
easily comes in a 25-cent size in
natural. coral, flame and the new
femina, a rust shade. Another firm
is featuring two new shades. Sun
rose, designed for the lighter brunettes
and blonds, is bright without being
garish. Chestnut. for the darker types,
is particularly suitable with the new
blends of face powder and orange
toned npsticks.

IF YOU have any trouble with your
= nails being brittle at this time of
the year, an excellent remedy Is an
ounce Of sweet almond oil that you
can obtain at any drug store. Mas
sage it well into the base Of the nails
and around the cuticle. 1t is Won
derful softener and good Spring
nail tonic.
A special French preparation for
keeping the hands soft at any time of
year, comes in a convenient tube form
so that you may always have it with
you. 1t is sold exclusively in one local
shop at s100 a tube.
A BIT of beauty news that is really
= new and really different con-
Germs a cream that has just taken
it's place among a group of interest
ing beauty preparations. 1t is so light
that it looks and feels like whipped
cream, and if you are gardenia enthu-
siast you won't be able to resist 1t,
because it is deliciously scented with
oil from these flowers. This cream
cleanses the skin and nourishes 1t
at the same time. After leaving it on
a few minutes and removing with It's
sues you will find the skin is velvety
soft and fragrant. The blending OF
essential oils In this cream makes 1t
beneficial for dry skin, especially those
areas around the eyes and chin. The
delightful odeur makes the nightly
cleansing process very pleasant task.
This cream may be used on both
oily and dry skins. If the skin is oily
allow the cream to remain on for two
minutes; If dry leave it on for five
minutes. Washington is one Of the
first cities to receive its supply OF
this cream which sells at 81 for the
smaller size. Look for the jar with
the pink top. The cream also serves
as pleasant emollient for the hands.
SOMETHING else that we have dis
covered and are most enthusi-
astic about is hpstick with clip
attachment to hold it to the mirror
pocket of your handbag. It immedi-
ately eliminates all frantic efforts to
find your lipstick among the various
and assorted contents of the bag and
keeps this cosmetic essential right
where you can reach for it in jiffy.
There is good range of colors, in
cluding raspberry, light red, vivid
and the new tamiami with lots OF
brown in 1t. You will love this new
conner in its case Of black or eggshell.
and it is no more expensive than
usual-$1-and on sale in a number
Of shops.
The present trend toward things
Chinese has even invaded the field
Of cosmetics. Eyes are being penciled
