Select Drapes To Set Off Blonde Hair
By BETTY CLARKE
up Feature Service Writer

WIZ
Time was when all you considered
probably was the color of your hair
land maybe your eyes, in buying the
right color clothes. No red for red
heads. No green for green eyes.
Today you probably choose a
green dress that makes your eyes
look greener. That used to be out
of the question.
You've had specialists in depart
ment stores and beauty salons tell
you that there is a shade of red a
red-head can wear.
You've learned to avoid white
powder and get a powder that blends
better with your skin.
Your rouge is supposed to compile
ment not only your skin but your
hair and eyes.
Basically your lipstick is chosen
according to your type as a red
head, towhead, mouse-colored hair,
black or brown. And because your
skin likely corresponds sin tone-color.
But you may be one of the lovely
vomen whose black hair shines
above a pale skin. Then you've got
to think of that too.
Lately the word has gone around
rapidly that your home is at its best
if it also has interior decoration ac-
cording to your color personality.
Your d~raperies and walls ought 10
be the colors that show up your
blonde beauty, experts are saying.
For some time you've heard the
advice to match your jewels, nall
polish or lipstick. And costume
jewelry is appearing in powder tints.
If you are a blonde with dresden
skin and want to twine pearls in
your pompadour, you can get pearls
in a rose hue.

She can study materials as they

Follow Proven Path
in Beginning

She may have to copy her effects
at first. But she won't for long.
Once she is sure of her taste, she'll
let her Imagination go and use
her own ideas.
If she doesn't care for good mu-
sic, she can learn to like it by
studying some simple books on mu
sic, and then listening to the best
music she can get on her radio,
and on monograph records, trying
to understand something Of what
she hears. AS good music becomes
familiar to. her, she is bound to
develop a taste for it.

Really Earnest Person Can Acquire
Good Taste, Ruth Millett Declares

+ If she is insure about the dec
grafton of her house, she could
if she had the money-call in a
decorator. But if she is an aver
age woman, she may feel that is
beyond her means-which is a fine
thing, in a way. For it is a chal-
lenge to her to cultivate her own
taste in decoration. She can do
this by studying books on period
furniture, learning all she can
about color, noticing always why
a room is inviting or gets on her
nerves.
In art she can learn by attending
all available art exhibits, by study
ing copies of the worlds master
pieces, by learning something of
the history of art.
Thoughtfulness Is
True Courtesy
In reading, she can force herself
to give up what she knows is
trash, which she reads only be-
cause it is an easy way of passing
the time, to read what she knows
is good writing. Quickly she'll come
to be bored to death by trashy
writing.
Good taste in her dealings with
others she will cultivate if she
studies likable, charming, happy
people to find out how they avoid
being rude, hurting feelings, and
saying the wrong thing. She won't
have much trouble, learning how
to do the right thing, if she never
forgets that true courtesy is moth
ing but thoughtful kindness. l

It was announced, too, that Mrs.

a notable record in public lectur-

Her comments on the European

Travels in Europe took them to
England, Scotland, Norway, Swed-
