Light olive skin has a tendency to look sallow and needs a touch of warmth. Avoid yellow tones in your foundation and orange tones in your rouge. For daytime wear, choose a foundation that is close to, but peachier than, your natural coloring. For evening wear, you can use a foundation with more of a pink tone or you can cover your daytime foundation over with an opal powder. Use a rouge that is on the blue side of the red scale.

"'Oh, it's not so bad," I answered airily as I held the door for him. (You have to hold it or it falls off.) "Well, it certainly isn't good," he said bitterly as he extracted a shattered cedar sliver from a bare and bleeding shin. "Now, look," 1 told him sternly, "if this place isn't good enough for you...'" "Oh, it is! It is! ! like the place. 1 just love your home! It's so... ah, different!" "Well, if you're sure," I muttered, somewhat mollified, "Come on in." "I'm sure," he declared, cautiously toe-testing the threshhold before crossing it. ! closed the door and braced a plank against it. "The latch doesn't work," I explained. I looked at him suspiciously. "! suppose you think that's run-down, when the latch doesn't work." "Heck no," he protested. "Lots of my best friends have latches that don't work. Heck, that's nothing." I beamed at him. He wasn't such a bad guy after all. He limped toward the big overstuffed recliner. "Don't sit there," I said. "Broken, I assume?" "Of course not. It's in fine condition. However, my dog likes to sit there. Makes her furious to come in and find somebody sitting in her chair. Especially a stranger. "She's a great big German shepherd," 1 added. He changed course and headed for the divan. "Can't you see," I admonished, "that the divan is already occupied?" "I see the seven cats," he replied, "but couldn't we move one?" "We couldn't. Sit over there." :"1 hate to mentio0 this, but theft chair doesn't look. too sturdy." "It's okay if you keep your weight to the left. Haven't you ever sat in a three-legged chair before?" "Where, may 1 ask, do you intend to sit?" " "On the mantle. I always sit on the mantle. Nice breeze in the summer and warm for my feet in the winter." "I see. That explains the ladder." "1 used to be able to vault up there," I sighed, "but that was before I broke my legs." "Fell through the front porch, did you?" "No. I fell into the toilet." "An outdoor toilet, no doubt." "What do you think this place is, primitive or something? I have an indoor bathroom" "Then how.. 2" "I locked myself out and had to crawl through a bathroom window." "Both legs?" "Just one. The other snapped when I got trampled in a stampede." "Aha! Those horses of yours!" "Don't be silly. I got myself boxed into a rummage sale crowd." "Those scars on your arms...
