We told you about the effect of
various colors on the figure.
Whenever these rules conflict with
those we set forth for flattering your
complexion, have your costume in a
color that is good for your figure
and wear touches Of the color chosen
for your coloring near the face; at
the neck of dress or coat, at the
faceline of a hat and in necklaces
and earrings and clips.
Rules for Suiting
Colors to Clothes.
Now to draw up definite rules for
suiting your colors to your cloth
ing. No wonder women are bewil-
dered.
One cosmetic house shrieks,
Match your skin; another. Make
up to your eyes; another types you
by your hair.
And fourth promises you can
wear any color with proper makeup.
Who is right? Everybody, even
the last, for the beauty people can
do wonders to broaden your reper-
toire of becoming colors.
The following charts, however,
will deal only with colors that are
naturally becoming.
Then where to begin? The whole
matter is simplified, of course, by the
fact that your skin, eyes and hair
do bear some relation to each other.
When woman's hair turns gray
her skin turns with it. Even her eyes
usually change somewhat. So suit
ing everything is not quite as hard
as it may seem.
A sensible suggestion is to play up
to your most striking feature. If
your hair is a wonderful shade of
red or gold or black, play up to that.
If your eyes are the most notice.
able thing about you, play up to
them. And If you are so perfectly
balanced that no one feature DOM
mates the others, take your cue from
your skin.
So let's begin with the skin and
see what we have.
There Are Three
Main Types.
There are three main types:
White, yellowish and rose-tinted.
Don't mistake that last for a skin
with high color. Because an olive
skin may have color, yet its basic
skin tone is yellow.
Incidentally, the shade of natural
color in the cheeks is influenced by
the skin tones.
Rose skins will have cool color
that is, rose shades.
Yellow skins will have warmer
color, such as peach or scarlet.
b That's why you have to match
your rouge so carefully to your skin
tones.
We shall speak Of natural color
and rouge later. Right now, we're
talking about basic skin tones.
And we would differentiate the
three groups still further.
There are the milk-white skins
that go with some shades of red
hair.
And there are also pearly skins.
that complement blue-black hair
and black eyes-what we think of
as the Castilian type.
There are creamy or golden blond
skins. the kind that 60 with ash
blond hair and golden hair, re-
spectively.
And there are warm olive skins
that 60 with brown hair and ewes.
There are delicate shell-pine or
wild-rose skins that you see with
red hair and brown eyes, or with
fair hair and blue eyes.
And there are swarthy brunei
skins.
Now the trick Is to wear colors
that include the dominant skin tone

or else present striking contrast.
White skins-White, any clear
color or black
Creamy skins - Canary yellow,
chartreuse, green, golden brown, or
for the exact opposite, violet shades. =
Pearly skins-Dusty pink, heather,
rose beige, dubonnet, or for fiat
tering contrast, black.
Olive skins-Scarlet, flame, emer-
aid. beaver brown, or for contrast,
Madonna blue
Rose skins-Rose, violet peach,

Swarthy skins - Terra Gotta,

for contrast, cerise.

metic house,
In choosing colors for the COM
plexion, there's still another thing
to remember.
Every one knows better than to
brave the seasick shadows cast by q
green parasol.
But few persons realize that many
colors cast some reflection on the
skin.
In Hollywood, they hold swatch
of the fabric against piece OF
white paper to test it for this, when
doing a color film.
If it casts a reflection. you your
self must decide whether you want
that reflection or not.
If it's not in your skin tones, you
don't want it. 1t will make your
skin look muddy, just as mixing too
many paints gives muddy color.
We shall assume that you know
enough to have your lipstick of ex-
actly the same tone as your rouge,
but in deeper shade.
And both must tone in with the
natural coloring to avoid the made
up look which went out with the
postwar flapper.
The aim is to look natural. Then
why make up? For silly reason
because every one else does.
Competition among the laecses Is
the life of the cosmetic trade.
NAPOLEON considered a woman un-
dressed without rouge. 1t was a con-
vention then as 1t is now.
Any Unconventional
Move Conspicuous.
But 1t can be striking. We wouldn't
advise you to leave of lpstick or
mascara or eye shadow.
But we do advise certain skin
types to forego rouge-namely, the
swarthy skin, the pearly skin and
the white skin.
Rouge makes too great a contrast
against these compilations and so 1t
looks made up. But the more con-
trast at the lips, the better.
And so we advise scarlet lipstick
for the swarthy skin, dubonnet for
the pearly skin and out-and-out Or
anee or at least tangerine for the
pure white skin that goes with Ger
tain shades Of red hair.
Not pink. You wouldn't put pink
and red together In dress, would
you? -
Some one has said that rouge
makes ed-headed women look COM
mon. We fancy that's the reason.
On the contrary, rouge'is the great
standby for the women with average
brown hair and drab coloring gener-
ally.
Because it brings out the color OF
their eyes and brightens their hair.
And contrary to all expectations.
deftIy blended rouge takes down
florid color because it adds more
color in the desired spot, thereby
making the rest Of the face look

leaves are out Under such a Cir
cumstance it is well to prune them
now, knowing that you will lose some
flowers but that the job can be better
and more easily done when you can
see what you are doing.
A pair of sharp pruning shears
and small pruning saw are the
essential tools. Long-handled prun-
ers for tall shrubs and large branches
make the work easier A sharp pock-
ct knife to smooth the cuts and a
can of tree dressing to treat the large
cuts complete the list of accessories.
In pruning We seek to accomplish
several things: First, to renew the
bush by taking out part of the wood
each year-a third to fifth of the
branches each year-for most shrubs.
Second, in removing the old limbs
We remove the wood which is most
likely to harbor insects and diseases
Third, the younger wood produces
the best bloom, and hence by prun-
ing regularly we insure the best
flowers possible. Fourth, regular
pruning serves to keep the shrubs
within bounds. An overgroWn shrub
does not add to the appearance OF
the yard and If it is a tangled,
sprawling mass it detracts. Fifth,
there are number of shrubs which
sucker too freely for their own good
and by removing part of the suckers
each year the bush gives better
bloom. And sixth, to shape the
bushes to some desired form, per-
haps to make them fit into a land
scape scheme or plan. Sometimes
Q tree-lke form is desired and this
can only be accomplished by careful
and regular pruning.
In formal garden, frequent
pruning is necessary to keep
straight lines and formal appear
ance.
Pruning at Ground
Best Method.
In removing the old wood of
shrubs it is best to cut the branches
of at the ground. Renew the whole
bush, not just the top. Cutting at
the ends or tips induces growth at
the top, since it is the upper buds
from which the new growth will
come. Also, by pruning at the
ground line the grace of the shrub
Is maintained, whereas top pruning
tends to give stubby, unnatural
appearance. This does not mean,
however, that the ends should not
be removed where necessary to keep
Q shrub within bounds. Or that we
should not check a shrub before it
becomes too tall and leggy. Cutting
the long shoots back encourages
branching and helps to produce
compact shrubby bushes.
Lilacs, as a general rule, do not
need a great deal of pruning-in
fact, the removal of most of the
suckers each spring and the snip
ping of of the old bloom after
lowering to prevent seed formation
Is about all that is needed. The stem
borer will kill an occasional branch
and Its removal will serve to keep
the bush young and thrifty.
The blue Spirea, abella, butterfly
bush, Rose of Sharon, hydrangeas
Except the shiny-leaf hydrangea),
Grape myrtle and beautyberry are
shrubs which need severe cutting
back for best results. OF these, the
removal of dead wood in the spring
from the beautyberry (Callicarpa)
abelia and the Grape myrtle is Or
dinarily sufficient pruning. The
others should be cut back severe
ly-much like hybrid tea rosebush
should be pruned.

DICKENS PLAY
 GIVEN BY GROUP
Charles M. Sutherland Portrays Famous Role
 of ScrOoge

The young people of the Second Congregational, church produced the play "The Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens at Davenport hall last night. A large audience at- tended the presentation. How the Christmas spirit can mellow even the grouchiest miser is brought out in the play.
 Charles M. Sutherland played mean old Ebenezer scrooge to perfection
 Robert Swift as Tiny Tim," who was a good foil for scrooge's mean- ness, was just as pathetic and ap. pealing as Sutherland was miserly Homer Crane was a perfect Bot Cratchit, the browbeaten clerk.
 Others in the cast who gave gooc accounts of themselves were: Har- old Crandall as Fred; Mrs. Irving c. Spiers and Mrs. Henry Donohue as two mission lassies; Irving C. Spiers as the ghost of Jacob Mar ley: Doris Downs, Robert Currie and Irving c. Spiers as the spirits; John Hall as MT.

STRAND

The screen at the popular War ner Bros. Strand theater must be still vibrating from all the excite ment and thrills that flashed across 1t yesterday when Drums Along the Mohawk" the most vivid, action packed, thrilling film of the season opened its four-day engagement.
 Co-starring Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda and filmed in techni- color 1t depicts the days when torch and tomahawk spread their terror in New York's beautiful Mohawk val- ley.
 Miss Colbert and Fonda portray the roles of pioneer lovers who with the other colonists in the valley have to face the fierce onslaught of the savage Iroquois. While swell romance Is thus assured, the most outstanding feature of the produc- ton is its action. Those who viewed the offering yesterday were literally frozen to their seats at the tense realism of the Indian battle se- quences. Prominent in the support ing cast are Edna May Oliver, Ed die Collins, John Carradine, Doris Bowdon and Jessie Ralph.
 All in all here is c rare enter tainment treat for theatergoers of this vicinity. It will remain at the Strand theater until final perform ances Saturday evening. Don't fail to see it.
 And on the same show will be Jed Frouty and Spring Byington in "Too Busy To Work"
 The Strand has an outstanding array of hit pictures booked for the remainder of the holiday season. Among them are Jamaica Inn," starring Chares Laughton and What a Life" with Jackie Cooper and Betty Field in the co-starring leads. This show opens at the Strand on Sunday. Coming soon are Deanna Durbin in First Love-" "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" "Ni- notcha" and among others Another Thin Man"

STATE

Capacity attendance at the War ner Bros. State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of We Are Not Alone" starring Paul Muni with Jane Bryan and . large cast.
 The film brings to the screen Q new Muni, Q Muni who tops all of his great historical characterizations with the portrayal of a small town English doctor, not a great man, not a hero, but simply gentle, kindly soul whom circumstances make the victim of cruel injustice.
 As Dr. Newcome, kindly, gentle soul he goes about his work of heal- ing the sick in the sleepy little town of Calderbury, riding his bicycle over the cobblestone streets on his errands of mercy, completely un- concerned with the petty town poli- tics in which his wife, stupid and conventional, and her brother the archdeacon are so immersed. His simple pleasures are his pipe, his violin and the occasional hour he has free to spend with his small son.
 Then into the even tenor of his days comes Leni, the little Austrian dancer, whom he snatches back from the death she has sought to infiict upon herself because she is friendless and alone.
 The two are drawn together by Q strange fascination, @ mutual need for understanding.
 In support of Mtini there is 6 large and excellently-chosen cast, headed of course by Jane Bryan, as Leni and Flora Robson, as the doc tors wife. In the character of the son, little Raymond Severn does a remarkable job of portraying a sem sitive, imaginative child, without any of the objectional mannerisms Of the rnoppet.
 Others in the cast include Una O'Connor, Henry Daniell, Montague Love, James Stephenson and @ score of other players.
 Smashing the Money Ring, an- other in the thrilling G-man series, is the second big hit of the program. Ronald Reagen heads an impressive cast.

 hoped she might like westerns, but she prefers drama Bette Davis especially. She definitely doesn't like screen musicals and feels that dancing Is just wasted in the movies. Doesn't show creditably.
 Baronova herself shows very creditably. She has large eyes and a mobile face and a flashing smile that can be engagingly impish when she relaxes her dignity. Re- markable for a dancer who began 50 young, her legs are not bulg- ingly fnuScled.
 She's not worried about the movies as a lowbrow art espe- cially since her Hollywood con- tract rescued her from having to appear with the Monte Carlo com- pany in Salvador Dali's surrealist ballet in Manhattan recently. When the ballet goes mad and misshapen with nymphs cavorting around iii long winter underwear, Baronova will take Laurel and Hardy.

WAR ENDED HER JOB IN LONDON

Even if she does want to be just an actress, 1t was natural that sfe should make her movie debut as ballet star, because she is one. She was dancing in London's Covent Garden when the war closed 1t, and after that she became available to Metro and Producer Winfield Shee- han, who have been wanting her a long time. A relay of airplanes, in- cluding an ocean clipper, brought her to Hollywood and she was rushed into her first picture scarce ly knowing what 1t was about. The first scene, a dramatic one, was okayed on the first take. She con- siders 1t a friendly omen.
 For a star of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russo and one who has been called successor to Pavlova, she made a surprising admission. She said. T never did like to dance. Not at first, anyway, My mother made me study. and began st ' and hated 1t. After awhile got to like 1t better. From the time I went into the company. at 13, until now. I have never been in one place SO long as I have been already in Hol- lywood."
 I asked whether 1t had been worth 1.-the rehearsals all day, the performances every night, the constant travelling and never hay ing a home. She said well-r, yes, 1t was a good experience because she had been everywhere in the world, practically, and had met everybody. But 1t also Is nice now to have a house in Beverly Hills and a seven-year contract for a job in one place--if only the stu- dio will take up the options.
 Baronova (accent on the "on") was born in Russia, but she was only year old when her father, naval officer. fled revolution torn Russia with his family to take refuge in Rumania. They moved to Paris several years later. The dancer speaks practically all the European languages, excluding the Scandinavian and her English Is fluent though accented. She knows King Carol. the Duke of Windsor and many such person. ages. Queen Elizabeth, while Duch- ess of Kent, often visited Barono- vas rehearsals.

PolI's


 A giant two-hit show consisting of the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer hit, Remember" and the RKO Radio triumph Allegheny Uprising" will open a four-day engagement Satur- day at the Loew Poli theater.
 It was a happy choice all around that teamed Robert Taylor and Greer Carson for the first time in "Remember," a refreshingly amusing comedy of married life, with Lew Ayres as the third member of the romantic triangle. Not only do Tay- Tor and Miss Carson make an at- tractive star combination that au- diences will want to see more of, but they take full advantage of a de- 1ightful and novel love story some- times hilariously funny, sometimes whimsically tender, which adds up to perfect entertainment.
 Taylor will make many new fans with his natural and always assured playing of Jeff Holland, an ambitious and hard-working advertising execu- tive who falls in love lat sight" with Linda Bronson, although she is the fiance of his old college buddy. Miss Carson, who was so appealing as Kathie in Goodbye, Mir Chips" reveals a vivaciousness and talent for comedy that comes as pleasant surprise. She is unquestionably the most versatile newcomer brought to the screen in long time.
 When Jeff elopes with Linda after stealing her away from his buddy, Sky Ames, the fun begins. Ayres gives his usual splendid performance. The other half of this smash pro- gram co-stars the sweethearts of "Stagecoach," John Wayne and Claire Trevor in Allegheny Upris- ing."' The film is based on Neil Swanson's best-seller "The First Rebel" and deals with stirring chapter in American history.
 The colorful story laid in the 1760's depects in dramatic fashion the re- vol tof Pennsylvania colonists against British soldiery over protection given interruptions traders selling guns and ammunition to Indians. These events are said to have forecast the eral years later when Minute Men, Battle of Lexington more than sev- called from their blows, grabbed up muzzle-l -loaders and precipitated the Revolution of 1776.
