“RED-HEADS’” CHOICE

Best Colours for Frocks JAUNTY, SIMPLE EFFECTS "There are three dominating dont’s every red-haired woman must obey if she is to take full advantage of her colouring, according to Nancy Carroll, the red-haired screen star. “The first ‘don’t’ has to do with the wearing of ruffles, veils and any other over-feminine accent,” she says. “Veils are not made for red heads. Let the blondes and brunettes wear them while titian-tressed damsels stick to the tailored, daring millinery that does not flaunt a single bow or ribbon. "The second ‘don’t’ has to do with the colour red. It simply will not harmonise with hair that is auburn, carroty, or henna, so do not try it out, no matter how you yearn for a new red frock. The same rule goes for orange, but yellow is an excellent'shade for red heads, “The third ‘don’t’ warns the tawnyheads to stop dressing dramatically in all-black outfits. Not that black is unbecoming. It is decidedly flattering; but the consistent use of it is too obvious. Be subtle toy adding white to the dead black frock and hat, wear sea green in place of jade green, and purple blues In place of the tired-out, babyblue varieties. “My last bit of sartorial advice to my sister red-heads is to dress always with clear-cut effects,” concludes Miss Carroll. “Try to look trim, wellpressed and jauntily assembled. Stick to severe tailored clothes for daytime and daringly simple frocks for evening, and your hair will do the rest.”
