The cabinets in which the cosmetics are
.ept are OF black ebOniZrd carved wood,
With gllded traceries. The sofas anu d.

Large mirrors, in black and gold frames,
are ia each end OF the room, between the
windows. Other large mirrors are set N
the walls on the side between the black
and gold cabinets. The front windows are
shaded with lace curtains, these at tie
back are filled with stained glass Panes
and open into conservatory, where tWlt-
teripg canaries make music in the perfume
laden atmosphere. Opening into this salon
are dressing rooms, where ladies retire to
have their heads ShampOOed and dressed
AMI where the intricate art Of making up ID
.. sscvived. This is the way the thing Is
doae. as described by lady who went
through the entire process:
: 'sAfter throwing off my polonalSe and
having a peignOir thrown around my shoul-
ders, my hair was taken out OF the little
knot into which had twisted it and was
shampooed. 1t was then dried and combed
up from nv face and neck, and smOothed
at the edges with bandoline, applied with
small fine sponge. My eyes were then
bathed with clair du lune. This is an eye
tonic, and makes the eyes exceedingly brill
liant. Next, with Inagnifying glass in
her hanu, my cOiffeuso went over my face,
neck, arms, and shoulders, carefully in-
speeding every part, and with pair OF
fine tweezers she removed every superf1u-
GUS hair. From a little box she dipped
with small, fine, soft sponge creamy,
rose-tinted cosmetic aud carefully applied
it to my face, arms, hands. neck and shoul-
defs, rubbing and blending it carefully and
.,vop In oyor tho Ql,fira anrfacQ Sha told
me that she used rOse-tinted creme because
[ was pale; for ruddy blondes white creme
is used: for brunettes, buff-tinted. There
are finishing powders. too, in all these
shades. After the creme was rubbed in l
was ready for bit Of color in my cheeks
and lips. This was applied from rouge
cup with what Is called, and l suppose is,
rabbits foot. The color was rubbed
deity into my cheeks, little around my
eyes, on my nostrils, chin and ears, and
then my lips were tinged with liquid veg
etable, indelible rouge. Then, with pow
der puff of swan 3 down, she went over the
whole with rOsy-white blending powder,
brushing it off carefully with another puff.
Now my eyebrows wore brushed out and
shaded with fard indien. This was done
with leather stamp. AS the creme aud
velOutine powder had hidden all my veins.
with blue pencil they were now traced
ON my bands, arms, neck and temples
With the same pencil line was traced
under each of my eyes and shaded off with
fresh stamp. All this requires the eye
and hand OF an artist. Then front colt
fure. with waves falling on my forehead,
and curly hair, thirty inches long, falling
back, was pinned on with invisible hair
pins to my own scanty chevelure, and,
twining it around coil in the back, it was
formed with switch OF moderate size III
to low couture, a la GrecQue. A few lit
tie waving curlS were added, falling Oil my
neck, and behind my ears a few stray locks
were drawn out and frizZed; for, as my
colffeuse said, the ears should ever be set
as it were in spray Of hair. Then my
eyelashes we're trimmed, and last of all my
nails were soaked, cut, tinted and polished
and was supplied with set of toilet des
bangles, and all the cosmetics had used

choose"
OF course every lady who goes to the
identifying bazaar does not need, nor does
she take, a complete make up. 1t is as
t0nishin@swhat few touches Of rouge,
creme, veloutine, and fard will do for
moderately good-lookiDg woman, when ap-
piled by an artistic coiffeuse. Then, very
little additional Of hair, a false front, and
curl or two in the back will completely
transform the contour of a woman's head
and face. The opening of this bazaar last
Wednesday morning was Shyly attended,
but in the afternoon the natural curiosity
of the lovely sex which makes up the bet
ter part of humanity got the better OF
them, and the attendance was good. The
numbers have been increasing every day
since, and 1t is safe to say that several
Thousand had been in to see how women
are made beautiful, before the doors of the
establishment were closed yesterday even
Ing.
Throughout the State there Is general
disposition to promptly adjust the State
debt. We propose grand reunion of the
Conservative Democratic party of Vir-
GINA. We have seen the folly of division;
Low let US come together and stay togeth-
or. II there are differences to be settled,
let us settle them among Ourselves.-Ihe
Conservative.
We second the motion. Further differ
ences among the Democrats of this State
will give us Republican Governor and
strife is kept up. All differences can be
better settled inside the party than out

Mr., William E. Chandler, a well-known
New Hampshire Republican politician,
has written a letter in which he takes the
view that subscription for the benefit of
