It .i j.evessary also thai ono should consider tho shodo of gown and hat ono intends wearing while making one's toilet.

This was tbo caso with tho young lady who woro gray. "Hao you over seen a protty girl with bluo eyes wear a hat faced with Dluo7 Her eyes aro deepened by tho color and till her loely natural coltfr lng Is brought out. Tho shades leap from gown to hat and Intensify tho wearer's fairness or pallor, as tho caso may be. Certainly good sense and judgment may be used In all things.
