In order to chsose colors to suit each individual, certain characteris- ties, such as the color of the hair, eyes and complexion, must always be considered. These three points must be considered as a whole or together, because color may contrast well with the hair and yet give a most unfor- tunate effect with the complexion. There are two usual types--fair hair and blue eyes and dark hair and dark eyes. These two {ypes vary widely in degree. The color of the hair is usually the result of a mix- ture of red, yellow and brown, one of these tones being more of less pronounced. The average must there- fore be considered to be a soft tone of orange brown. The color of the skin is always of a lower tone than the hair except in the red parts, as the lips. Blue eyes are really the only parts in the fair type which form a point of contrast in color, while the dark-hair type usually shows the harmonies of contrast. Dark eyes, eyebrows and hair con- trast more strongly with the skin than in the blonde type. As a rule ihe dark type has less red than the r.

One dinner hostess a week or so ago used a wide alabaster bowl, on the edge of which was poised a graceful fig- ure leaning over and gazing ap- parently at her reflection. The bowl held under its alabaster cover a cluster of electric bulbs, Colors 'And Complexions, Light blue makes blonde complex- ions look ashen.

Yellow is highly becoming to a pale brunette, especially in artificial light. It softens an olive skin and givesit a creamy tint.

There is quite a showing of corded fabrics in the spring samples. Silk poplins, failles, corded bengalines, and gabardines and other novelty cloths and corduroys are being pushed, and the old favorite, pique, is prominent among the cottons for warmer weather. A smart calling or going-away cos- tume for a bride shown at a recent opening was a skirt and short mili- tary coat of dove gray silk poplin, the coat being elaborately braided in gray silk cord. A tight-fitting vest showing beneath the short fromt of the coat was of the material, run- ning up smoothly and untrimmed save for a row of small gray braided buttons running straight up the front to the top of the collar, which %as relieved by a white ruching un- derneath the chin, close about the throat. .
