A Quest that began IN A HANDBAG

A HANDBAG slid 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 is! Few women have over known de- finitely how to enhance their own natural colouring in their make- up, how to select shodes that harmonise.

Beauty experts have tried to help. They have classified women as blondes or brunettes--but what of those with dark hair and fair akin? They have talked of "akin tones", of "types", but how many women know their own type?

For months scientists and colour-

There must be some solution. lats at the Richard Hudnut laboratories have studied types of colour. ing and have'mado a startling dromatic discoveryl

Nature hus given every woman a personality colour, definitely related to sisin and hair pigmentation, a colour Influenced by factors of heredity, a colour which never changes. It's the colour of the cyor.

Every woman knows, if her eyes are bluc, that she looks her best in soft blue dress, or if her eyes are brown, that she looks well in orange. It is true of clothes is just as true of cosmetics. The new "Matched Make-up" makes It simple for averyone to And the make-up that harmonises with this basic 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 masenta.

Stars of the stage and screen have tested and endorsed this new make-up. Artists and beauly 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.

"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.

"It's too late now," was all she sold.

How are we to deal with

those children who are never at their case with other chlid- ren, who are awkward and gauche, and who dread parties?

Start by assuring that there's a cause. Then do your best to find out what it is. And at all costs put it right before you force the child into the sort of position which may give him an inferiority complex.

Here's an example. A fond mother spent a lot of money on all kinds of Inncy clothes for her only son's Christmas parties. She was well- meaning; but by the time
