I ^ - FOR tha 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 u 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 silver screen. If it is at all postible, every woman should have one corner of the house that she can claim as her very own. A boudoir gives such a seme of privacy and rest that one should endeavor to fix up a small room or a corner of a larger room, that one may enjoy a well-earned rest in surroundings that are absolutely feminine and restful.

" I STUDY THE COLORING BEST SUITED TO YOU Miaa 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 arc 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 cne of New York's smart est laboratories. I find that this branch of beaut culture is developing rapidly and that some p which, a few seasons ago were in an exprlmen 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 d for our particular coloring? Then it was u to try for a lighter tone by adding flesh colored powder or perhaps a bit of (.ream or white. But such blending was done after the basic colors had already been prepared. That is the OLD STORY about blending face powder. THE NEW ANGLE discussed today has tc do with the actual blending of the basic of founda tion shade of powder to match your complexion. WINIFRED MACK There are six basic colors used in this new method of mixing powder. They 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 arc 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 one 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 yellowish cast. . The same method of testing should be employed for all com plexions. For the Titian haired young wo man. a little green powder is added to the three basic colors. This par ticular shade eliminates the trans parent pink and white coloring so often seen with red hair and give, the skm 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 addfd to that which you have found mast desirable for day time use. This particular color com bination brings out the highlights of the complexion, resulting in a i 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 i effects gained by adding a bit ol I, this shade and a bit of that shade of powder togetlier 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 cwn powder with ont first giving it a little study or you will exhaust your finances buy ing the various shades. i Knit Wear Specials ! - Ladies' pajama* in a beautiful AQ quality silk ... all sizes ....
