THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., FEBRUARY 28, 1932—PART THREE. 11 Children’s Charming Clothes Among Achievements of Season The young couple above is dressed in the brother and sister fashion so popular with mothers whose sons and daughters are very, very young. The dress and the suit are of blue linen, trimmed on the col- lar and sleeves with white.

Artists have deserted their canvases to apply themseives to this great busi- ness of working out the most beautiful colors for ccsmetics, the manufacture of which is one of the biggest industries of all time. Few women are without charm, but many do not know how to make the most of their charms, and through the choice of the right shades in make-up they mey emphasize their best features and minimize or subordinate the ones that are not as beautiful as they might wish. Only a few weeks ago more than 11,000 women braved a blizzard in one of our Western cities to attend a dem- cnstration of the use of these new cos- metics and learn their relation to the newest fashions. Actual count showed that 400 were turned away because | there was not even standing room. EAUTY specialists have evolved a new idea in make-up. It is Spring, is inclined to make an OId:r‘shnuld be subordinated. ol This proves the success of the new al- liance between fashion and cosmetics. & ONE expert in the field of beauty goes | so far as say that red-haired women may wear red and that pale blondes no longer need be afraid of yellow. It is just a question of selecting | the right tinis for your rouge, lipstick and powder foundation. Prominent among the colors of Spring clothes are numerous shades of blue. and, contrary to popular belief, blue is not among the easiest colors to wear. If you have hollow cheeks and shadows under your eyes, blue quickly empha- sizes this fact. Consequently, according to the be@t beauty specialists, you must choose for your blue dresses a powder Beige, one of the smartest colors of woman'’s skin appear sallow, and offset this, certain warm shades of | make-up have been prepared.

There is no radi- cal change, to be sure, but | it is general enough to merit comment. Skirts, for instance, are just a trifle shorter. That is to say, skirts for street wear are definitely an inch or so shorter than they were, and well dressed women | are choosing ankle-length dinner dresses for ocassions when they might powdering your nose. SR 'HIS amazing development in cos- metics really came about through hats. When hats went off the forehead, eyes looked insignificant when called upon to compete with an expanse of forehead to which attention was drawn, and experts in beautifying the feminine face realized that eye make-up could do a lot, and so many new shades of eye shadow were developed. If you never have tried green eye | shadow it is worth experimenting with for evening. It is said to make your and there is a definite up-at-the-front | movement about many of the new coats | and jackets that is pronounced enough | to_be suggestive of Directoire fashions. Hats, too, reflect the upward motion. | They are worn higher up at the back |and very often the brim is turned up | at the back or one side, with a quill or other ornament so arranged as to ac- | cent this upward tendency.

Those who have not the courage to try an all-green eye shadow should try brown eye shadow with just a bit of green on the eyelid, sav these new advocates of the recent alliance between the fashions in clothes and make-up. ‘While on the subject of eyes it should be mentioned that the best beauty spe- cialists say, “Do not pluck your eye- brows.” To pluck them to a narrow line is distinctly bad form. They may be brought into line, if they are inclined to be wayward, by the use of tweezers, and if you wish they may be penciled lightly, but see to it that the penciling is very, very light.

They were interesting, in a way, decidedly different from what women had been wearing, becoming to some faces, and could be reproduced easily and inexpensively. “You know what happened.

Shelves With Odd Beauty for Books WHAT would we do without books? They are so much a part of our everyday existence that it is impossible to think of a life without them. Or with only a few of them. Yet some- times there are too many of them, thinks the housekeeper, as she puts ] the living rooms to rights on Monday morning. The way to keep books decorative and always attractive is to have plenty of places to put them. Nowadays that isn’t hard. If our house isn't fitted with plenty of book shelves built in along the walls, we buy separate shelves and holders :nne sort or another and An imported hand-made dress of pale blue crepe de ing and embroidery in blue and yellow, is Iorel;flor older girl’s dress is of scarlet flat crepe, with a scarf collar lined with ivory silk and ivory colored buttons to match. chine with smock- the tiny girl.
