It is difficult to tell the fair-skinned brunette just what colours to avoid for a s has already been said, of all types she has the widest colour choice. Generally speaking, however, the following shades are the least complimentary:—Brown, medium, or light green purple, pure strong .blue. Black alone doe s not do justice to this type, since its tendency is - to lower what could be a strong personality. Even a black hat will be much' more becoming and enlivening if a touch of white or fed is used in the. trimming. A black frock will prove infinitely more satisfactory if a vest or collar and cuffs of white —not harsh, clear white,, you understand, but the white of georgette or organdi—are added, —'Home Chat.'
