FASHIONS.

FOR BLONDES, In choosing clothes the blende must be especially careful about colours. Many work by rule of contrast on the theory that dark (blue, green, or black) backgrounds make their pale' colourings seem even more delicate. I think thisi is an idea' that really works.

For blondes with blue, green, or grey eyes, cool, greyish colours — blues, greens, and violets—tare more becoming than the warm, brownish tones. But the brawn-eyed, fairhaired people whose skins usulally incline to the brunette tone look nicest in any of the range of browns.

Vivid, golden-haired blondes with colour can wear brilliant shades, such as red and bright blue, but if you’re pale and thin they’re too strong a dose. For you, colours should have depth, but no harshness. Soft rose shades are a good example of colours you can wear. Pale blondes also want to be careful to avoid colours which make them look dull or wisnywashyJ And here I 'want to call your attention to one distinction in ctolofotrs. There are some so<-cafled pale shades which look as if the life had been diluted out of them. And there are others that, though pale, have a warmth that is* very flattering. These are the colours that will befriend your face.

If you are a plump, healthy blonde with a good colour you can wear almost any colours, provided that they are not so bright that they will make you look too fat, or so delicate that

they are out of tune with your colouring.

Barbaric jewellery, such as heavy slave bracelets and necklaces, are not very good for blondes. They should choose seed pearls, delicate crystals, and semi-precious stones, such as topaz, amethysts, jade, and turquoise, which are really colours which suit them.
