For the Boudoir ~ By Mane M^t ~
f—n ~ ■ mBmmsLi"" ~
FOR the woman who is fortunate enough to
boast a boudoir of her very own, this
illustration will particularly appeal.
However, a bedroom is frequently large enough
to use one corner as a boudoir, and this situation
is also covered by the illustration.
Louis XV pieces make a charming back
ground for this room. The chaise longue is
upholstered in deep rose satin, a shade darker
than the walls. The rug is also of this shade,
perhaps even a trifle deeper in color than the
.

chaise longue. The pillows match the satin
covering, with a blue one to give a chic touch.
A very modem air is given by the sUver screen.
If it is at all possible, every woman should
have one corner or the house that the can claim
as her very own. A boudoir gives such a sense
of privacy and rest that one should endeavor to
fix up a small room or a comer of a larger room,
that one may enjoy a well-earned rest m
surroundings that are absolutely feminme and
restful.

STUDY THE COLORING

Mias Huddleston, Listing the Six Basic Tints of Facial
Powder, Reveals the Blends Which Will Enhance
the Loveliness of Your Particular Type
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
There are some very interesting things happening in the beauty
world and some times I wonder where all the new ideas originate!
Mixing creams and face powders to harmonize with the complexion
is not an idea of the moment, having first launched several seasons ago,
but after a recent visit to one of New York's sm
cst laboratories, I find that this branch of beaut;
culture is developing rapidly and that some pi
which, a few seasons ago were in an exprimental
stage have been developed into a practical everyday,]
workable part of one's beauty routine.
How often have we purchased a box of rachel!
shade powder only to find itt several shades too darl
for our particular coloring? Then It was necessary
to try for a lighter tone by adding flesh colored
powder or perhaps a bit of i ream or white. But sue]
blendmg was done after the basic colors had alread;
been prepared.
That is the OLD STORY about blending face
powder. THE NEW ANGLE discussed today has to
do with the actual blending of the basic of founda- _
tion shade of powder to match your complexion. WINIFRED
There are six basic colors used m this new method of mixing powder
Tney are: white: a yellowish cream; rose; a tannish rose; green and a
violet which really is a deep lavender.
Th average complexion demands a mixture of the first three shades,
whilte, yellow and rose. These three ^
colors are blended to suit the skin,
a fair complexioned person requir
ing a larger amount of white and
rose are used in greater proportion
brunette type of skin, yellow and
rose are used in geate porportion
than white. They are simply blend
ed to harmonize with the indivi
dual skin.
As a beginning try two teaspoon
fuls each of white and rose and oue
of yellow for the fair complexion.
Should this be too white for your
skin, add a bit more rose and yel
low; if too pink, add a little more
white and yellow; if too yellow a !
small amount of rose will offset the I
yellowish cast.
The same method of testing ;
should be employed for all com- .
plexions.
For the Titian haired young wo- J
man. a little green powder is added
to the three basic colors. This par-1
ticular shade eliminates the trails'- '
parent pink and white coloring so
often seen with red hair and gives
the skin a lovely, rich tone.
However, as skins and their col
oring vary so much, the above is
not always the rule for there are !
some skins with an already too yel
lowish hue, in which case, the yel- ,
low shade is eliminated as well as
the green.
Then. too. the shade of powder
used depends a good deal on whe
ther it is to be used for daytime
or evening wear. As the electric
lights cast a rather yellowish light,
a little violet or lavender powder
should be added to that which you
1 have found most desirable for day
time use. This particular color com
bination brings out the highlights
of the complexion, resulting in a
most interesting but subtle effect.
Of course, the violet appears white
under artificial lights. But, it is not
the dead, pasty white that results
when pure white powder is used.
The art of blending powders Is
one of the most interesting studies
in the beauty field and all of you
must master It. For the wonderful
effects gained by adding a bit of
f===
-.I ll„ , I .. I — I
this shade and a bit of that shade
of powder together are too great a
stride forward in beauty to be dis
regarded Now that I've given you
the inside information on this in
novation. for goodness' sake don’t
try making your own powder with
ont first giving it a little study or
you will exhaust your finances buy
ing the various shades.
