PaIntIng Faces.

The really mystifying fact belong
ing to this style of painting is, that
such persons as devote themselves
to it, do not paintto deceive. No one
can be 10 the neigh borh0od of such a
face and not know that it il painted.
Nobody ever pretends that people are
stippled blue by nature. it IS not,
then, done to deceive. but because, on
deliberation, art is preferred to nature.
Some women would rather be artificial
than real. Can there be anything in
this world more astonishiBg2 Let the
fact be ehronicled and kept. We are
not going to say here that the practic is
ugly in its results. There is uudoubt-
edly acertain strange sort of beauty
in the performance. But is this un-
reality to be admired and encouraged:
1t face painting is on the increase IN
this country, are we to be glad, or
sorry, or Indifferent? How can we be
Indifferent when every hour of every
day men and women are forming
opinions of life? Tue subject is 30
suggestive tnat questions multiply
under our pen. Who are the assisting
powers in this great work Of face dec
oration? Can it be true that n fec
lady who refuses to acquiesce ia the
work Of her Creator, can trust her
maid to color her into something else /;
We know how the thorough paced
lady's maid eDjoyes dressing her

inquiry, who paints her?-Lo7don

way. the old broker sang out
Well Jack, times up; have you
made up your mind to make your own

We'll, father, I've been thinking
Of it, and have something in my mind
