HOW TO DRESS.

A lesaon to the plain woman on her wardrobe is the following:— "If you hav9 drab colour hair, a sallow complexion, and faded brown eyes, don't ventue on a snuff-coloured gown, a fawn coat, a lead-coloured bat covered with a fawn veil, or • you will present such a picture of depression that no one will take the trouble to look for beautJ93 that might easily be enhanced by carefully-selected pastel tint 3." The 'tawny type" of woman must wear deep, rich shades of brown, toning from bright chestnut to mola colour, amber or deep wine tints shot with red-gold lightß, special shades of gold and blue-grean, and certain tones of soft grey for day wear. For evening toilettes, white, with touches of gold, is moat becoming. The red-haired beauty should, if possible, choose rich sable or ermine furs, and sometimes chinchilla soften-, ed with old lace. The "blonds" Woman must robe herself in pure white of a diaphnoua texture, relieved by a faint shade of colour that emphasises her fairness and calls attention to the blue colour of her eyes. If the blonde has a pink and whits skin she can adorn herself with the faintest blush rosn shades. Greys and all black costumeg are becoming to the blonde, and furs of ermine, rich black or white fox, can enhance the beauty of golden hair. The brunette is fortunate, for she may choose from any colours.
