Show Helps for Hie Sallow Sal-low and the Olive SkinnedBrunette By Elizabeth Lee In addition to tho genuino brunette, tho creamy and tho fair brunette spoken ot by mo In a recent article there is next'on tho list tho black haired typo ot brunette. With this tono of hair usually goes a dark brown skin with or without 61or In tho checks, very good teeth and beautiful eyes. Such eyes ns aro described "largo, soft and lustrous." Now tho brunette of t his typo re-Now re-Now tho brunette of this typo re-reason re-reason of her very pronouncod coloring, color-ing, It Is dltllcult to plan n toilette that will prove entirely harmonious. It Is, I know, generally believed that yellow Is tho color for tho black haired hair-ed brunette Used Judiciously thero is no objection to tho color, but bfhek and jollow used, as It often Is In combination, Is seldom a happy ono for thin typo. It Is entirely too startling. I ltko amber, maizo 'and all tho lessor tones of yellow though they may run Into deeper tones In tho ono costurno, as for instanco an evening toilette of pale yellow running run-ning into orange, tho Jowois topaz set into dull, dead gold or a string of amber beads and a corsage garni-turo garni-turo of nasturtiums In their natural colorings from cream to flarao color-In color-In this tho black halrod brunetto would bo absolutely fascinating, yet tho cost of such gowning could be qulto moderate Good dressing Is a question of good taste, not monoy. Tho latter can curry out tho former It is truo; but monoy cannot bo substituted sub-stituted for good tasto. Very pale colors should bo used, as linings, trimmings or accessories only. Warm reddish browns ns a wliolo gown aro good, so uro rich tans, deep old roue, claret and cardl nal deop amber, dark bluo, mahogany, mahog-any, creamy whlto and yollows. Also, Al-so, thero is a very palo pink having n dash of yellow In It that Is often becoming be-coming to this typo of brunette. The Sallow Brunette Tho sallow brunetto Is tho most dtflleult class of tho entlro typo to dress successfully. As a rulo, tho oycB aro lino nnd the skin smooth, oven though it may bo qulto dark in tono. Apart from theso features there is actually nothing to build upon up-on in tho majority ot cases. Even the lips often seem to bo purple Instead ot rod, so. you sco, extra enro is necessary in selecting a toilette if it is to bo a success. A very dark, rich old roso, will, as a rule, provo a good cbolco, also tho darker tones ot terra cotta. Then thero aro dull rods, warm groys touched with n llltlo flamingo, yellows sulllclently deop In shado to harmonlzo with tho tono of tho skin, ornngo, flamo color, cream, rich mahogany ma-hogany and deep Ivory whlto, nil of which will bo moro or less becoming. Very deep navy bluo trimmed with red nnd rolloved with plenty of croamy Into about tho neck will help to give life to what might bo termed a practically colorless typo; whllo Uio rich, reddish shados of brown, as chestnut will bo equally charitable. A gown of deop old roso relieved with creamy laco about tho faco is a pretty safo cholto, becauso those tones supply tho warmth' that Is always al-ways lacking in tho sallow typo. Olive Skin Tho ollvo skinned brunetto is .often .of-ten classed with tho sallow brunetto. bru-netto. Sho Is, however, an ontlrely distinct typo, although tho ranga of colors sho can chooso from Is similarly similar-ly limited. Sho can wear crimson, golden and chestnut brown, doop apricot, ap-ricot, old roso, deop roso red( not pink,) milk whlto, ivory, cream, yol- low, deep maizo, navy bluo, nmbor and touches of orange. Tho colors that should bo strictly avoided by this typo aro mauve, purple, green and light bluos. Lastly, thoro Is a typo of brunette, tho possessor ot hair in a nut brown shado, a comploxlon to match, though In a ;nuch llghtor tone, of courso and through which glows a rich red rlpo color tho lips scarlot. Her oyes may bo brown, brown black and sometimes actually black. Deop roso pink will suit her, and so will roso red, also tho colors ot tho nasturtium, crimson, palo and deep yellows, orange, maize, ivory whlto, taupo, tango, terra ter-ra cotto, reddish browns, deop bluo, warm gray nnd strong golden tans. |
