Raru,iru;nr Woman

A dark-haired man rcclinrd gracefully
IN an easy chair in Il brown stone house
in New York and said 10 Il reporter:
@ 81 devote myself To maxim" people
beautiful. | devote my life and mind tC
rracticing the arts that bcautify. Every.
thing concerning beauty is Ia me of ab
Sorbing interest, and the development,
of the figure. the art of pleasing. ana
the mysteries OF the toilet are things
that | am constantly studying. How lC
make the face beautiful. the figure sym.
n'ctrical, the manners engaging. and Ia
improve the contour of the body and the
personal make up.and To turn on, Il per.
fectiy harmonious being is worth know.
inc. don't YOU think SOP
Yes. said the reporter. lit is.
while il is not possible to make ev.
cry woman beautiful. il is possible to
improve almost cverybody's personal
appearance. In improving the face
bring well-known principles of art to
bear upon my work. For instance. it is
= very well established fact that red
widens. Thus hatchct-faced woman
comes To me wit! her hair parted in the
middle and drawn back on either side
from her forehead Her face is too long,
too ;hin and too sharp. There is q
straight line that runs directly through
the part in her hair down between her
eve, and over her nose and To her chin.
In CHANGING ri her. the first impression
one receives is one of great length and
narrowneSS. To make this women
beautiful first take down her hair and
part it on one side. Then l dress il
down over her temples and puff it out
above the ears. bringing il down bit
toward her cheek. Then | take some
red and work it in heavily ON her cheek
bones. After this the eyebrows are
darkened little at the ends furthest
eyelashcs. making the eyes appear
broader than they are. This simple
work changes the entire appearance OF
the woman. You cannot imagine what
Il difference il makes. Instead of the
eye catching a straight line that runs
down over her head into the chin, it is
caught by the hair, which is parted on
the side. and follows an imaginary
line running in sympathy with this part
hlagonally across the face.
Suppose Il woman with broad and
fat face asks To b. made beautiful"
1T is much more difficult to handle q
broad face than Il narrow one. | make
4 theory for ever woman | see, and
carry it out in her individual case; but
in general may say if she is blonde,
the eyebrows should be darkened near
the nose and allowed 10 remain light
and indiStiuct At the ends. Then red
should be- put in front instead of at the
side. 80 aS 10 increase the depth of the
face; and the hair which is now always
banged. should be arranged in riuglets,
so that the forehead may be seen through
it. Tails further hei|hians the face. A
woman with fit face should always
parl her hair in the middle.
Il have always been very successful
ih rcducin" and building up fat people
Numbers Of ladies come here in their
carriages every day. have number
of eases now that are being reduced ut
the rate of six pounds week Again,
in making thin people fat use medi-
cine of my own invention.
Il do not pretend 10 have original
creation in everything. For instance.
l have photographs of Betty Rigl, the
actress. and often make women up aftal
her. because she has such a bright and
cheerful face. Then | have Maud
Changers pictures before me constant
ly. because she has such perfect arms.
Then here. YOU see. the pictures of
Queen Elizabeth, which | keep for hcl
elaborate coiifuf~ and the artistic Use OF
laceS. Here is another picture of a
Southern woman OF my acquaintance,
whose shoulders have II beautiful slope,
and in these photographs of Nine. Rec
amier there are supcr5ly arci:cd brows
and beautiful eyes. IN T. SIN.
