some tor the home folks. If you

Helene and I have plenty of room,
u yoa know, and we'd love to have
you with us.
Do let me know a few days in
advance Just when you expect to
arrive. Tou know the apartment
usually looks as though a hurricane
had at ruck It—and we’ve been ter
ribly embarrassed sometimes when
people have arrived without due
warning. After the careful upbring
ing you gave me, darling, I knew
this shouldn't be the case. But.
after all. Helene and I are busy girls
with very little time for ourselves,
and we can't devote much time to
housekeeping. , . ,
Mother dear, I'm really glad for
more than one reason that I'm going
to see you soon. Tou know last
year when you were here I Intro
duced you to the boy friend who has
since become my constant admirer.
At that time I had Juet met him and
while I thought he was aweet and
all that, he was Just one of the boys
to me. Now. I’m really quite gone
about him, and it looks almost as if
you might loss your darling daugh
ter soon. And. of course. I want your
O. K. on him first, although I'm
sure you’ll adore him too. He’s really
a nice person. And of course he'll
love you. Who could help ft?
By the way. I'm sending you a
little gift for the trip—now. you'll
have to come. It's one of Madame's
frocks, and you won't think I've
been extravagant a bit when you see
it. It’s Juat your type frock and I
couldn't resist sending it to you. I
know you'll look lovelier than ever
In it Madame hasn't had for a long
time an afternoon dress as stunning
as this one of vlolat flat crepe with
the Sauscs ranch. Refreshments I
were served, and the honoree pre
sentd with a profusion of gilts,
after which the party motored to
Boca Chlca for a swim and picnic
supper.

STUDY GOOD POINTS
TO DEVELOP CHARM
Secret of Loveliness Lies In Analyzing Your Type to Find
the Most Becoming Make-Up, Mode of Dress
and Coiffure, Says Miss Huddleston
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Are you making the most of your appearance? Have you studien
yourself carefully to determine what type you are. then made every pos
sible effort to bring the hidden beauty and charm to the surface?
If not, you had better do so before the habit of negligence becomes
too established. As no two persons are exactly
alike in this world, it stands to reason that no one
rule can be applied to the feminine world at large in
the matter of clothes, make-up and coiffure.
I do know however, that in one way or another ,
every woman can be fascinating, charming or beau- I
tiful. Onee you have determined what type you are.
every effort toward enhancing and bringing out
your hidden beauty must be used.
The most logical way to begin such procedure L»
to study yourself as an individual. Are you thi
exotic, dreamy, or vivacious brunette? Are you oi
the petite, winsome or vivacious blonde type? Once
this Is determined, the next step is to find your
loveliest feature or point of beauty. Perhaps it is
your eyes, mouth and teeth or figure.
_ Then, remembering your type, bend every possi
JOSEPHINE °le e,fort torord enhancing and developing your
HUDDLESTON best and ,oveltc«t features. For instance, if you are
"petltte blue-eyed blonde, it naturally follows that
blaek mascaro would be very much taboo. Use instead a medium brown
shade mascaro and blue eye shading.
The exotic brunette would indeed be a spectacle if she came out into
the world in clothes and cosmetics that were designed for the beauty and
-„
tlves, and later make an ocean
trip.

«race oi me peute Dionde.
It isn’t so much a matter oi not
being able to wear certain colors as
it is not being able to wear certain
shades. Red heads appear extremely
off color and out of key in emerald
or grass green, depending entirely
upon the coloring of the skin, while
a frock of olive green may bring out
the loveliest features of the red
headed Individual.
Women, with a flare for colors
should give the selection of bright
colors careful study lest they select
a shade gr color which may reflect
too much yellow. Some shades of
green have a good bit of yellow in
their composition and only to nn
observing and trained eve is this
noticeable.
To touch lightly on the many im
portant points requiring study . . .
fl) angles and the best shade of hose
and height of heels to give the
ankles a slender, graceful appear
ance . . . (2) color of skin and the
selection of cosmetics to blend and
harmonize ... (3* contour of face
to determine the coiffure arrange

It is impossible to delve into all
of the branches of this narticular
subject, so following these sugges
tions give the same careful study to
other important features rr points
of beauty not mentioned. Too much
time and study cannot bo given to
knowing pneself if the underlying
beauty and charm is to be brought
to its full loveliness.

Stressing Sunburn
Tints For Summer
By DIANA MERWIN
(Associated Press Fashion Editor)
PARIS. June 8.——It no longer
is a question whether women will
allow their skins to take on a mid
summer bronze from sun ana wind.
The pace-setting style makers
take it for granted that women who
wear the summer models they are
turning out not only will have sun
burned faces, but sunburned arms
and shoulders as well.
They show colors which make
the best of sunburn, stressing sun
colorings. especially nasturtium
shades, which only well tanned or |
————«

naturally dark skinned women can
wear successfully.
Beach and pajama costumes par*
tlcularly limit themselves to the
colorings that accentuate sunburn.
Com1 nations widely used are
white and dark blue with touches
of cherry or flag red. black and
white, rose-beige, egg-yolk and egg
shell tints, and brilliant cell and
larkspur blues.
Evening, dresses make the same
allowance for sunburn. There Is
almost no pink in current evening
styles shown at big dressmaking
houses. Amber, black. cream,
green, yellow, dark blues and rad
are the favorites.
A shade of satin called biscuit fei
generally chosen in place of white.
It is a deep cream with an amber
tint and under electric lights comes
close to matching a well tanned
skin
