Fashion has brought In such an Infinity In-finity of odd tones, tints and shades for her spring: contribution, moat of them barah and more or lees tryfng to wear, that a bit of advice concerning tha suitability suit-ability of certain colore for certain types will not be amies. Few women can wear all colors to equal advantage and It Is the exceptional one to whom soma particular par-ticular color Is not especially congenial, so to apeak, and once aha finds this, she should not hesitate to indulge In It ad libitum. Beauty of design and variety of trimming trim-ming may be depended upon to preserve her wardrobe from monotony. Dress may not "make" the woman but It behooves her who la making a determined effort to keep her youth and attraction to take care that It does not unmake her. It la a good rule to drees ap to your eyee In the daytime and to your hair at night ; but then, and I must hasten to add this, to your complexion at all times. If your hair runs to brown tones end your complexion to cream tints, wear whatever what-ever has warm tones in it. preferably the yellow and red browns, mahoganies and yellows of the daffodil east. tf your eyes are blue, blue la bound to be your color, and If. at the aame time, tha akin la reasonably clear, tha 'old" blase and the lovely tepeetry shades will be ravishing for you Darker skins may attempt the crasser blues, and the possessor pos-sessor of gray or gray-blue area will appear ap-pear to beat advantage In fabrics of the aame Indefinite hues.

Hold one color arid then another up to you as you stand before your mirror, and then differing shades, and take mental note of the ensemble. That Is, do not remark its effect In relation to the hat. or the eyes or the skin, but rather the effect In general. And a word of warning hare: Be sure that the light falls clearly and full upon you and upon the mirror. If either Is In the shadow, the effect la bound to be misleading. If your face has a tendency to redness, avoid blues, yellows and reds, and Insist upon black, white or pink. A' certain of the wis-tarlas wis-tarlas are permissible.
