Maggie, requested her In French 70 bring
her a number OF things-works In hair, curIs,
ialse fronts, chignons and crimps. Placing
these on the dressing-table, she began:
I'VE will imagine that a lady comes 60 us
IN her carriage, say about 6 or in the even
ina, for she has been informed that Il will take
Two hours TO complete her make up. She
has taken her bath before leaving home, and
has put on ali OF her underwear that she
intends 10 wear At the ball that evening.
She wears FOR the drive TO Us a plain black
skirt and loose redtngote, which she re-
moves, and takes her seat. Sue knows
beforehand that her makeup will cost about
$50; that will include The cost OF hair. She
is gray, and her hair IL also thin. We brush
10 all from her temples, forehead, ana neck.
The hair that grows on the temple and neck
and around the ears we darken with a dres-
sing OF mascara. Here it is" Aud she

coil on the top or her head. Then we nut ON
a false front OF the color desired"
Madame showed US the kind OF a front
which would be used Tor the purpose. II was
made Of natural curly hair, with each sepa-
-te hair drawn Into a piecs OF white hair

W Juld be easier 20 pull out the hair from the

Il aced over the flesh OF the hand the lace
Invisible, and the hair looks as IL growing
out OF the skin. IL Is easy TO see that such
front would be perfect deception. Placet
directly over the parting OF lady's hair it
Stimulates the natural growth 20 perfection.
Madame continued 1--WE draw the hair
OF this front around the lady's head aud then
pin on this light chignOn- You see that 10,
too, is made on hair lace, aud initiates nat
ural hair perfectly. IL II easily adjusted.
We fasten IL on and the front also with these
fine invisible hair pins. II any OF the gray
hair is not hidden we touch that part with
mascara, or put on little puff, or "A curl, or
friZZette. The long curls falling down the
back we leave until the face is made up. We
now proceed 20 remove the peignoir or wrap
per which we placed around the lady's ShOul-
ders when we began TO dress her hair. We
examine her whole face, neck and arms, aud
with this small pair OF tweezers we remove
every superhuous hair. IL there are any
PASSIONS OF the skin or plmples we cover

all shades OF court-plaster 10 suit different
shades OF the skin, from pure white for
the brow and temples TO red for the lips.

we leave them 10 the last, aud cover them
with black court plaster 10 make beauty
Then with a soft, nne sponge we moisten the
face with rose water and wipe dry. Next
we spread all over the arms, halds, neck

creme oils and hides every wrinkle, so that
our lady looks almost like a fne marble
statue. Still the natural color and texture
OF he skin show BEAUTIFULLY through the lilly
WIN sness. Now We take the brush, and,
after clearing the eyebrows, we color therp6

color of the hair witch the LAZY has chosen"
She showed US the little cake OF gard and the
pointed leather stamp with which IL was ap-
boards.
Next she opened another little box which
Enclosed blue pencil. IL looked very much
like blue cTayon.
What use do you make OF this?"
Remember we have hidden all the veins
on the surface OF our lady's skin. With this
pencil, which you see is also approved by the
Faculty OF Medicine OF Paris, we trace the
veins AL over again. We begin At the hands,
on she sides OF the face, on the temples, and
the forehead. This requires the incest care
and some knowledge OF anatomy for we must
not maze veins at random. Then with this
same pencil we trace a delicate line under
each eye, and shade of the same wit a clean
leather stamp or pencil Some use lard Ind.eH
a very coarse makeup which f. easily seen
through. When we have finished with one
of our carefully-stuiied make ups. the lady
looks as natural as she does beautiful"
And how long will il last?"
4" Until the lady finds IL necessary 20 wash
her skin" was the reply.
{" Please proceed with the process"
Now comes the very incest part OF all,
the application OF the color. Here are a dozen
different shades of rouge. II our lady is made
up for q blonde she Will require pale rouge;
If for blonde, dark. Sometimes 10 taxes
ten minutes or more 10 get precisely the
right shade. At last IL Is found. and we 60
on. We tint the cheeks, shading OF with kid
or buckskin stamps on the side OF the face
and toward the nose and eyes. We tinge the
nostriIs In the same manner, also the chin
and the ears, for a healthy woman always
has as much color arou6d her nostrils, chin
and ears, as on her cheeks. The tips Of her
fingers and the palms OF her hands are also
gone over. Then the lips, which require an
unguent red, which is also brought out In
different shades, 20 match the different shades
OF rouge. At the last we put on the little
or beauty spots, and attach the
long cIfrls, and the makeup is finished.
