TYPES AND COLOURS.
Yellow is to be tho favourite colour for tho coming season, but tho girl with a pale-skinned or average complexion with "iid-brown hair should not wear too bright a shade of vellow. I*or her tho safe tones for hat, over-blouse, or scarf aro primrose, pale daffodil, and a rich, buttery shade, like the top layer on Devonshire cream. Tho girl y.ith coppery-red hair can wear palo lemon yellow effectively, nut it must not incline .too much toward lime, because that would throw out her complexion into too great a relief. Creatnv maize is also good. Pod-haired women have generally vivid complexions, and it is a curious fact that while a true, clear shade of green accentuates their charms, a greenish yellow has just the opposite effect. The brunette and chestnut-haired type can safely wear most yellows, except lime, lemon, and canary. Lime and lemon turn brunette ami brownie sallow, and the third makes them too conspicuous, especially the brunette.
