reckoned with very carefully this
L season. Color adds the spice to
the smart black ensemble, and when
colors appear they are new and in
triguing shades, more suitable than
we have been used to seeing and very
Sophisticated. Red is not just red,
nor does the word blue" call one
particular shade to mind. Each color
is modified and blended with another
color or grayed to make it more in
teresting. Nail polishes are follow
ing this lead and are not content to
remain merely as they have been, put
are infinitely more subtle. A lead
ing finger stylist, very color conscious,
has blended five new shades for fall,
each of them with soft, seductive
color quality designed to give the
hands truly feminine appeal.
Only one of the colors is really a
vivid shade. This Is called pimento;
the other four shades soften down to
the fragile wistaria, two on the blue
side and two on the yellow. Clover
and wistaria are blue-red-especially
f1attering to brunette skins. On the
yellow side are thistle and mas
turtium, lovely with the creamy skin
that goes with blond compilations.
Glover is a lovely shade like pale
wine with a delicate silvered quality,
perfect to complement those mar
velous fuchsia velvets. But if you like
a more delicate and fragile tint-a true
Dresden china among nail polishes-
wistaria is your color. The name
may be somewhat misleading. be-
cause this is a very light. soft rosy
tint, slightly grayed. Both of these
polish shades create suitable color
harmonies with all the wines, purply
reds and violet blues, which are so
important on the color calendar.
On the other side of the vivid pi-
mento are two shades excellent with
tweedy browns, colds and green's.
Nasturtium is one, with its golden tint,
and the other. called thistle, is several
shades lighter and slightly more to-
ward the rosy beige. When the bru-
nette wears brown, she will want this
shade of nail polish. just as the blond
uses wistaria with blue. Pimento.
which we placed in the center of the
group Of five new shades, is a spicy
red that almost any hand can wear,
if there is definite liking for bril-
lance that is not too bold.
Hands should be soft and white to
gain the full effect of color contrast,
and to secure and keep this quality
don't neglect a good oily hand mask
cream that will smooth and whiten
the skin. Have hand cream where
you can use it every time the hands
are washed; it will keep the skin soft
and supple.
CONTINUING our theme Of smart

produce the delicate pink-and d3white

new makeup is intended to make
black, white and all shades with un-
dertones of blue vastly more becoming
than they would otherwise be. Of
course. this includes that dificult-to-
wear color of fuchsia or cyclamen,
for which this complexion was named

To face the glitter Of the evening
there is new Sequin makeup to in
sure true glamour amid the brilliance
that this season is giving us and
expecting from us. Unlike the day
time makeup, this one starts with a
foundation borrowed from the stage
and screen. Over it goes powder in
golden sun-tan shade which is lightly
busted over with delicate mauve tint.
Rouge and lipstick are in a red with
out blue or yellow, and nail polish is
f1ecked with silver. Brown eye shadow,
accented with greenish blue near the
lashes with touch of gold for a final
note of glamour. completes this most
sophisticated makeup for important
evenings.
