WHAT IS YOUR COLOUR?

| Beauty is a matter of art and art- > istry, and while. it is true that a love- | ly woman would look well in almost i any cut and colour of elothes, the average mortal has to study the colI our of her eyes and her hair, then J choose for her gowns the shades which most enhance good features. If you have a very pale complexion, shun voilets and blues, and if your colour is high, not to mention hectic, avoid bright reds and! greens. If you tend towards olivatre then purple, bright blue and greenery-yel-low tones are not your best. Generally the colour which suits the shade of a woman's hair matches the rest of her complexion, provided always, of course, that she doesn't try to rival Nature too much. .If you are a brunette, avoid dull colour s, particularly grey; but eoral, rose, golden tan, oranga, claret garnet henna, and blaclc and scarlet, are becoming. If you are a blonde, of tbe ash variety, try powder blue, turquoise, soft dark brown, marine blue, and avoid neutral tans and orange. If you are a golden blonde, bright blue, clear bluish greens, seal brpwn, bright lavender, Flemish blue, navy and blue should be used, and dull tan and any shade of orange avoided. If your hair is bi;own try rose, orchid orange rosewood, aimond green, and avoid drab and greenish browns. If auburn, your colours are light green Chinese jade., cornflower blue, aimond green, peacock green, dark green, and black with amber. Avoid all shades of scarlet. Grey hair is most suited with lavencter, pearl grey, powder blue, heliotrope, burgundy^ and in some cases black. Avoid browns.
