BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

Evelyn Tripp wears a flurry of smoke-blue fox that leads a double life; a "hood" late day, and after, a stole surrounding pretty shoulders. By Reynard in Saga Norwegian Blue Fox. Her beauty is enhanced by a new kind of makeup - one that blooms with exactly the same clear blush in every light. Frances Denney's new "Constant Color," here in "Rose Beige" Fluid makeup, powder, green eyeshadow and "Highlight" lipstick.
