! 1t will surprise, and not a little interes
our lady readers to know that making ug
ly women pretty is trade in New Yorl
as much as making paper collars or stee
pens. The New York s'Sun" in a long de
scriptive article entitled 'sold women made
young,' painted that magic process in it,
issue few days since, and this week gives
the mode pursued at the same establish
ment to make ''ugly girls pretty" 1t says
A few days ago, upon returning to the
place, we asked Madame G., if she could
not make ugly girls pretty as well as OLD
women young.
EYES," she answered, s.good looks if not
beauty are possible for the pfainest of the
sex. Wewill suppose, for instance, that
one has a long, thin face, high cheek bones
fiat cheeks, heavy, straight, black eyebrows
and forehead both high and narrow, and
a complexion dark and muddy. Now, such
a girl cannot be made up to look like a
blonde; but we can make her a handsome
or striking brunette. The wash is blanc
de Rachel, so named after the great TRACE
dienne whose brunette complexion was as
much admired il Paris as her grace and
genius were. This wash I will apply to
one of my girls, and you will see the effect
To put pure white on Adele's face would
be to dis6gure her. Come here, Adele"
Adele came: she answered measurably
to Madame's description of plain girl
given above. She was one Of the workers
in hair; wig or chignon maker. He1
hair was dark, rough, and short. She was
thin, dark, and certainly not pretty.

coil on the back of the head Emma bring
me a dark haired chignon and a crimped
front, u la Ponapadoow, to match"
Another girl, a pretty blonde, with elab-
crate couture. brought the antilles.
"Obs serve" continued Madame, ''that
this front is made on white hair lace, and
that instead of being parted as the hair
is in the middle or to one side,
this part runs across the front, leaving a
little fringe of creUe coeur locks to fall on
the forehead. See, will place it actually
below the point where Adele's hair grows,
thus" and she pinned it on with invisible
hair pins, and drew the little rings down
Oh the forehead and temple until Adele's
forehead was made broad and low, pleasing
and womanly.
''Now notice that I will put a little cush-
ion, not a la rye one, on the top of Adele's
head, and dl aw the rest of the long crimp-
ed hair on the back side of the part over
the cushion. There, it is done. You see
her contour is completely changed. Now

So pleased was Madame with the hearty

s'EMMA rs PRETTY,

blessed with very regular featu res, and a
lair but rather pale complexion. but it was
slightly freckled. Her hair was thin
straight, not very long, and ashy blonde,
out lighter and yellower on the temples
than on the top Of her head. She had made

working girl has time to bestow upon her
