SUMMER Sty

New Problems In Make-Up

It has become the mode to change the make-up with the colour of the pown. Tempera- ment, the occasion and the en- semble all have their say in this matter of midsummer make-up, and it is difficult to resist the temptation to experiment.

Cool greens and blue have their own special shades of lip- stick and powder, so delicately. coloured that they are more like an artist pastel than a beauty preparation.

There are other powders. creams and lipsticks designed to use when wearing more vivid colours. There is the definite" make-up, and the make-up elusive that it appears to be en- tirely natural. -White demands its own type of beauty colouring. delicate or dashing according to the personality of the wearer...

For the older woman there is a special beauty rouge, with a hint of violet, becoming to wo- men with silvery hair. There also new tones "of sun-tan powders

creams and

bronze, which harmonise well with silver. and grey.

A new rouge in a wonderfully natural colour is designed to soften and disguise tiny veins which sometimes ap- pear too near the surface of the skin, for beauty. cleverly cover- ing the little gaps between the lines.

From time to time there is .comment on the amount of money spent by the women of to-day 030 beauty treatments and beauty alds. Much of the money is well spent, because every woman has the right to look as charming as she can, but most women have a heup to learn regarding the use of their expensive cosmetics: and beauty advice, however expensive-or là- expensive-it may be at the time. 1. often ignored or forgotten.

THE BRONZE

MAKE-UP

Many Variations

Bronze make-up has many variations this year, and the tendency. "is for blarides and brunettes to specialise in con- trasting effects. The blonde cul- tivates a deeper tone and the Brunette a lighter one.

Sunshine' or cloudy skies with July days a bronzed 'beauty be- comes the vogue. This season it is bronze with many variations, in the choice tone, and no longer just a deep shade of tan which makes every skin look alike... The 1935 summer bronze "is

more

subtle. There are any number of different shades in these mo- dern "sun beauty". preparations. lotions, oils, preams, and powders, (each with a special purpose, to bestow the correct shade of bronze that is most becoming, to. to the individual colour scheme. "This summer blondes are using a darker tone of bronze as, a contrast to their fair hair, while the brunette chooses lighter tone of bronze as a set- off against a darker type of· beauty," said one beauty specia- list. Honey colour, coffee shades and tones of bronze" are the basis of the beauty expert's sun-tan flesh tints. The point is which to choose.

Bo modern artists in portrait painting have yet another pro- blem to solve in their search for for truth in art. That of the variation in complexion tonëë and colouring of their feminine subject, which may change from one siting to another. A port- rait that is going well after couple of sittings may go to pleces at the third, with a polite-. ly mummured ejaculation from the artist, in search of correct colour tones and values, “What has happened to the complex- lon?

What has happened is that the sitter has decided to Ary out a new set of shades in powder rouge and lipstick:

attractive fete frocks. A thin cape or little Jacket of tulle or plain chiffon will be worn, or else a coat or wrap of fine wool is often seen, and two tones of one colour are 1std. A corn-nower blue chiffon in the pale shade has a cape of the darker tone, while an ostrich feather toque is in several tones of the cornflower,

Lace will be a great favourite for July functions. A new ensam- bic is in a small lace design mounted on lavender chiffon, with '

a tong cape of the same. With It will be 'woru a picture hat of ostrich lavender telt, with ecru plumes and deep cream suede gloves and shoes,

Some of the more elaborate garden-party gowns show 藠 slight train. Others touch the ground all round. The pleated skirt stitched well down on the hips is becoming, and the long capes are graceful. Satin is very popular among the plainer ma- terials for older women. Young girls will wisely choose the many dainty organdies and tabetas.

CHARM OF NET

Mista of "net are floating through the summer night. in Almy dresses and scaris that tangle around the shoulders. Vogue shows you some lovely net frocks in the new issue, and tells you what is smart and new in this romantic material.. Net is stiffer, coarser than heretofore

but for ever alluring. Chanel uses this new type in black for # shadowy dress, gigantic of

suitable colffure. The shallow crowns must be wonderfully poised and secured by hidden elastic. There are so inany trends, in"hats" that everyone should and a be- coming style. The push-forward coal-shovel type is not easy to wear although it provides shade.

The large cart wheels may be. difficult to balance, but are won- derfully becoming in tulle, straw or felt-either with none or with very tie decoration. The halo-

· bonnet and the backless bered are ali charming, while the latest tiny floral toques covered with a filmy vell can be most attractive, parti

cularly when the same flowers are worn in the dress and so pick up any novel colour scheme. For instance, a striped or checked taf- feta ensemble in beige and brown will look well worn with a toque of beige and green flowers with a brown vell over it and cluster of the same flowers tucked into a. green belt,

Camel las, gardenias, cornno- wers, tiny: da sies and buttercups are among the flowers specially. favoured for these toques and buttonholes. Grey is an interest- Log colour that I always think looks well as a background to priat designs on chiffon. It is still smarter to keep the whole ensemble in the grey tones.

“A pearl-grey.chiffon that is very unusual has a lace pattern in dark and light tones of grey. "A very wide soft kid belt is worri with a quaint fichu style of car- sage and full skirt draperies. A plain sombrero style of felt hat with a diamond pin and a short plain grey cloth cape caught with # diamond brooch proves G piquant controaz." The accessories are equally original though in per fect style. Grey kid shoes also have d'amond buckler and nar- row bracelets of the same stones hold up the long grey gloves. The hand satchel of grey kid has a diamond snap.

The most exclusive ensembles of 1935 are simple. Black and white continue to find favour. While crepe and salin dresses will be wom with three-quarter.coats or capes and large back hats for many July festivities, while the more daring dressers will adopt the newer way and have plain crepe or black organdie frocks with 'coat, hat, flowers and other accessories in all-white.

Theres more charm and ori- ginality in fete frocks this year. The new laces and muslins are stiffened, so that they can be moulded to the figure in becom- ing lines before they start to flaunt and fare... The skmed treatment of fragie stuus has el'minated the "messy" look. Gay muslins and flowery crepes can lock trim and tidy.

Hot Weather Warnings

1. American scientists found a high-sound'ng name for the skin peeling that happens betweed toes and, sometimes, Angers when one is as often in as out of water. A preparation was sold to cure the "disease."

Actually, the peeling is caused by not drying properly. Which just shows how much you can save by working things out for * yourself.... It is worth drying those toes-peeling does look un- healthy.

2. Sun is very catching these days... If you do get burned una-. wares and haven't any balm around-try milk. At the tingly not-too-bad stage, it is very 800- thing....A saucerful and a bit of costom wool is the form.

3. It gets in your hair and un- der your nails....Sand will wedge its way in any where. Nalls get dry and brittle, cuticles harden and varnish cracks if you don't give them extra lubrication. There is a good new pll that, put round the cuticles and under the whites at night, stops this trouble.

4. Bleached heads may be at tractive, but pale lashes and brows belong to rabbits.... Heavier than usual application of eye-brow cra- yon and waterproof eye-lash cos- metic will save the sun-sequences.

6. - Heavy, languid perfumes are enough to turn any one away this weather. Colognes and fragile. florals are the smells that suit warm air. Fresh breezes in sum-. mer-keep your jungle nights for dirty weather,

6. Six-o' clock-feet, home or on board, need a ten-minute soak

in strong Epsom-salted water.

Then a co'd sponge and they'll carry you on for the rest of the

night.

THE GAY TOUCH

The smartest clothes at the moment are distinguished for their simplicity of cut.

But flowers, yes, and prints and dots and touches of smocking and white scaris and bows. - Vogue recommends all these gay touches, and shows you some attractive examples of them.'"
