A Quest that began IN A HANDBAG
HANDBAG alid to the floor scattering the contents—a jumble of make-up consisting of one brand of face powder, another of rouge and a lipstick which did not match it.
It sounds haphazard-it lat. Fow women have ever known de finitely how to enhance their own natural colouring in their moke- up, how to select shades that harmonise,
Beauty experis have tried to help. They have classified women as blondes or brunettes-but what of those with dark hole and fair akin? They have talked of "kin tones", of "types", but how many women know their own type?
There must be some solution. For mantha scientists and colour- lats at the Richard Hudnut laboratories have studied types of colour- ing and have made a startling dramatic discovery!
Nature has given every woman a personality colour, definitely related to skin and huir pigmentation, a colour influenced by factors of heredity, a colour which never changes. It is the colour of the eyes.
Every woman knows, if her eyes are blue, that she looks her best in a soft blue dress, or if her eyes are brown, that she looks well in orange. It is true of clothes-It is just as true of cosmetics. The new "Matched Make-up" makes it simple for everyone to find the make-up that harmonises with this buste colour which is so essentially personal. It has scientifically keyed to the personality colour, the colour of the eyes, a matched make-up harmonising shades of face powder, rouge, lipstick, eye shadow, and mascara.
Stars of the Blage and screen have tested and endorsed this new make-up. Artists and beauty authorities give it their profes-: sional approval. Women with eyes of every colour, blondes, bru- nelles, redheads, young girls, older women," have tried It, enthuse about the things it does for them.

At last, a grown-up saw how sad my little girl was looking, and how her eyes were following her "uncle" round the room.
"Don't you ace," this woman said to him, "that you're breaking Mary's heart?"
"Uncle" was very penitent and at once crossed the room and asked for a dance.
But Mary her eyes full of tears, shook her head and turned away.
