Suede Jewelry

NSAS
THE world has gone suede
Il mad, you will probably
think, when you read of suede
iewelry. But it is a pleasant
madness. for this jewelry is
really smart looking. Its shapes
make it so, for one thing, and
the colors contribute to its
gaiety and good looks. It's
hard to describe the shapes,
for there are so many, but
most of them are edged in gilt
bands, and some of the brace
lets are flexible, some rigid.
You can have as many pieces
as you want and work up
grand ensembles. When you
think that you can use one
piece to tie colored gloves or
bag to the harmony of a CO.'S
tune, you realize the real i'm
portance of it. There are clips,
pins, bracelets and so on, and
the colors are grand - car
nelian, bright green, red, blue,
brown and chamois. Each
piece is 81.

Wally Westmore of Paramount
wants some one to invent a good
lipstick that will have all the
dewey softness of the luscious
ones we are now using, but he
wants it to be one that will not
smear or rub off. 'Tis the kiss
ing scenes that burn him up, as
he says. Not that he disapproveS
of kissing, but it always means a
new bit of repair work on the
mouth. He just won't forgive a
girl for leaving her mark with a
big blotch of lipstick.
Must Use Rouge
He thinks every one should use
rouge. 1t is a command with
him, and in his artistic way of
making faces, he believes one
needs the warm tones of rouge to
bring out the contrasts and
vididness Of the skin tones. OF
course the picture makeup will
not be quite like that for the
street makeup, but he does tell us
how to put on rouge for street or
evening. 1t is about the way we
have always done it.
Use a paste or cream rouge
very delicately over the powder
base, and blend it smoothly with
the finger tips SO there will be no
outline showing. Next, the powder
is applied, and if more color is
needed, use dry rouge over the
area where the cream rouge was
applied.
