This is a “Whodunit” about the modern woman and her hair as blithely as she picks I got some clues on the how she.changes the color of anew lipstick. new “color shampoos” while sleuthing through a few issues of “The Canadian Beautician”. Seems that it's easy as pie nowadays to blossom out with a crowning glory in “Golden, Apricot”, “Copper”, “Sparkling Sherry” on “Red Ginger” — to name just a few of the ex- citing yet subtle glints that they wash right into your hair in the beauty parlour Perhaps you've read about these new color shampoos in a recent issue of “Harpers Bazaar”. An article on ‘The Last -Victor- ianisms” tells how the prejudice against hair coloring has disap- peared in recent years. To quote Harper’s on the old- fashioned prudery: “Even friends who knew that the other knew never mentioned it. Husbands were ever supposed to notice. The occult partner, the hairdress- er, was bound in secrecy.” But not anymore! Today's woman looks on color shampoos as she does. any other flattering cosmet- about them at your own Beauty ic. Just for fun, why not ask Shop? . FASHION New For shopper does not judge the qual- ity of the fruit or vegetables but simply believes that the more she pays the better. quality she will get. A survey conducted by the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association showed that when foods went down below a certain price, people refused to buy them. Thus, at the height of the lettuce season, when let- tuce is plentiful and good, lettuce at five cents a head will not sell. People will buy ten cent lettuce. If it’s cheaper than that, they decide it’s no. good!” These are disturbing reports. There’s a moral in this little story, however. That is, that you and I .}as consumers, should stop look and think twice before we buy! skirts, bolstdred by erinofines! Yes, this is newest of all; the swish and swirl of the whirl- away skirt as it billows out from a vanishing waistline. Wish your- self into any one of these spin- ing whirl-skirt fashions. You'll agree with the fashion makers — there’s nothing younger or sweet- er anywhere! Stiff, starchy crin- olines are selling like the prover- bial hotcakes all over the prov- ince. They’re the ‘under-cover” stuff that will make your big skirt a stand-out for summer ’52! DECORATING . Let’s talk about Color! Color supplies the background against which we live — whether it’s sparkling, gay, soothing, gloomy or merely drab. That’s why color is vital! For consciously or un- consciously, we are all affected by our backgrounds. Above all, don’t let your back- ground be drab, for this is an age of color, Today, walls are yellow, not cream; dusky pink, not putty; soft blue or green, not grey. When neutral tones are used, they’re sparked with vivid shades in fabrics, pictures, lamps and other accessories. The most attractively planned home can seem tired and drab with the wrong colors. And one with many faults will turn fresh and inviting if its colors speak the word. Don’t feel — as Cana- dians are often accused of doing — that you must fall back on dull, safe so-aalled “practical” colors for fear of going haywire with your decorating. Here are few guideposts! Red, orange, yellow are WARM colors. Blue, blue-green and violet are COOL colors. Warm colors stim- ulate, makes areas appear closer, objects seem larger. Cool colors are restful, make areas seem far- ther off, objects seem smaller. Light tints make ‘things seem larger, dark shades make them seem smaller. YOUR MONEY I think we all agree that one of our most important jobs as homemakers lies in the careful handling of family -money. As purchasing agents for our fami- lies it is our duty to stretch the food and clothing dollar — not an _easy task in these times of inflationary prices, Just how canny is the average B.C." hous Sewife when she does the farhily ‘marketing? Well, rl let you judge for yourself, from the rather alarming results pf an). experitignt’ in Vancouver. One ‘of the leading chain groc= ery stoxesi.in .Vancouver conduct- ed this survey to prove that wo- men buy “by price”. The mana- ger of one branch divided up a batch of identical tomatoes. One half, he priced at 25c a pound, the other at 29c. At the end of the day all the 29c tomatoes had been sold. Hardly any of the 25c¢ ones had been touched. This ex- periment indicates that comsu- mers buy by price.
