nails have a tendency to break as a
reSult-She keeps them filed close
and oils them well at bedtime.
Constance Joannes, the brunette,
attributes her flawless skin to the
fact that she has never squeezed a
spot and that she Is not inclined to
nervous frowning or other facial
mannerisms.
She washes her face when she
gets up in the morning. uses a me-
dunn shade foundation. a warm,
sunny shade powder and a bright
magenta red rouge and hpstick.
This she finds goes well with most
costume colors. She uses gray shad-
ow on the lower part Of her lid to
set of her brown eyes, and uses
brown mascara to make her lasheS
look natural and thick. Always ap-
plies lipstlck with a brush and may
repeat process three or four times

Constance washes her face at night
and applies cream and leaves it on
while taking hot bath. She uses
hand cream but doesn't worry
about nails, as they are naturally
strong and healthy.

Shut OF Main Switch
Before going on q trip It's best
to shut Of the electricity In the

means of q handle protruding from

GETTING A GOOD FIT

Full-cut shirts fit better. To
check this. look first at the shirt
tails. If these are short. the whole
shirt probably is cut small. Shirt
tails should be well-rounded with
back and front the same length.
On work shirts. tails are not cut
so long as they are on business
shirts. Nor should skimpily cut
shirts be confused with brands OF
shirts that are cut smaller In some
places especially for slender men.
To be sure Of getting the right
shirt size for man. measure an
old shirt that fits we'll. For the
neck measurement. lay the collar
nat and measure the inside OF the
neckband from center of the but
ton to the far end of the button
hole. For sleeve length, measure
from the center of the back yoke
to the lower edge of the cuff.

the brunette's positive cOlOring, she

Gets Her Beauty Sleep
The blonde usually has a delicate
skin, one that needs more pamper-
ing and more creams. She must
choose softer tones in her makeup
and he more subtle in applying 1t to
accent each feature to just the right
degree. She must be fussier with
her hair. choosing the mildeSt Of
shampoos and occasionally having
q tightening rinse to keep its lovely
natural blonde shade. Since there Is
q tendency to drynesS, even hands
and nails need more attention than
those of the brunette.
For this reason. each Of the girls

Dress Hues Set

BY ELEANOR GUM

New York-Possibly it never oc-
Cured to you to select the colors
FIR your clothes according to your
oroscope. but according to Sara
Garrard, a well-known astrolOger
and color analyst. there is basic
color for every birth month as well
as a complementary color.
The theory is that it determines
the colors which will create the in
ner harmony necessary to develop
your true personality. There are
four elements-f1re. earth. air and
water--in each individual. say the
astrologers. The amount of each
element has to be determined be-
fore proper colors can be prescribed
for the individual. therefore the day
of your birth as we'll as the month
and the year. play an important
role in color analysis.
At a recent fashion show based
on this idea, the fire group. or girls
born in July through August, were
two red-heads wearing the colors OF
their sign-white flame, red, navy
and gray. The earth group. the
brunettes born under the signs
Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo. fea-
tured the earth colors - browns,
beige or luggage shades. The water
girls, born under the sign Of Pisces
Cancer and ScorpiO, wore navy or
green for the most part. The Can
Ger girls wore a lovely sea green and
emerald jersey dinner dress with q
matching. cape. For q Pisces wo-
man, born in March, a gracious
TERED. gray lace dinner gown.
The Gemini, Libra or Aquarius
girls (the "air" element) wore pur-
pie, often with aqua or turquoise as
the complementary color.
An interesting idea on which to
base ones color selection.

Disposition Important

When one decides to add q four

one goes to considerable pains to
select . companionable. sweet-na-
tured pet. OF course, his appearance
matters. but It's his disposition that
Is most important, isn't It? How
strange, then. that when one de-
cides to take another human as .
dear companion. one so completely
overlooks his disposition. Women
especially seem attracted to moody
men. than which nothing is harder
to live with.
I agree that 1t depends on q wo.

kind who sulkS for days on end, or
the o,iick-tempered variety who
raises cain on the slightest provo
cation. SO. too. does 1t depend on
the man what sort Of prize he pre-
fers, since he Is pretty sure, as Is
the woman, to draw one or the
other.
It has always been my story. and
I am still sticking to 1t. that the
disposition one brings to marriage
