LONELINESS.


LONELINESS.
In Paris, more than in New York or
any other great city, there is decided
fashion in beauty as we'll a. in dress,
which changes as regularly as do the
seasons, and which sometimes takes
very queer and curious freaks. For in
stance, last spring the type of beauty
that was all the rage was termed the
"Daniel Gabrie. Rossett STYLE" This
type of beauty is assuredly one of the
most peculiar known. 1t was originated
by the Princess de sagan, who is great
leader Of fashion in Paris. and who ap-
peared in her box at tAe opera one
striking "Daniel Gabriel Rossetti style"
The most noticeable feature of this style
OF beauty is the hair, which is dyed
green and arranged in q pyramid
fashion On the top of the
head. Strange to say, the green
lair, though, of course. unnatural, is
very pretty and odd. 1t is yed the
most delicate and lovely shade of green
known, namely Nile Green. The com.
plexion that goes with this hair must be
like soft, slightly blushing peach, all
cream and white. The eyes are black or
brown, the lips their natural color, and
the eyebrows dyed to match the hair.
Floating gowns, white in color, and CON-
posed Of airy, fairy lucille, are always
worn with this type of beauty. Every
woman in Paris has the mania for ap-
pearing like daniel Gabriel Rosetti
beauty" for awhile, but at present in
Paris, which, by the way, Victor Hugo
calls the "center of civilization" green
hair reigns no more, and Dame Fashion
dictates that her daughters shall powtap-
pear as in many different styles of beau
ty as is posi- bic, believing no doubt,
that variety is the spice of life"
In New Y ork, for the past two seasons,
there has been great rivalry existing be-
tween the loving blonde and darling bru-
nette beauties. The war still RACES furi-
ously, and it is hard to tell at the pres
ent moment which il to come out veto.
rious, and whether the blonde beauties
or their darker sisters will lead fashions
popular. We do not often see in one
metropolis as many real blondes and as
many true brunettes as We have in New
York. A real blonde has light hair
with streaks Of gold through it, eyes
that look like wild violete complexion
rare and white, with delicate flush on
the cheek and light eyebrows the color
Of the hair. True blondes never have
dark eyebrows.
Although almost every lady knows what
is requisite to be true brunette, there
are still few who are not even educated
up to it, and who cali a woman who has
a dark, clear skin ''cheeks like roses
and lips like tbs cherry" hair purplish
black, and dark gray eye7, brunette.
No woman is true brunette who has
not very brown or very black eyes.
What is known as the Irish type" OF
be,.uty is one of the loveliest. No eye is
50 blue, 30 large, SO expressive, or so
heavily fringed as that Of the posse ssor
of this type no complexion 20 rosy and
healthful. and to people in general this
type is bewitching and fascinating.
The daughters of Spain ami Italy are
the best examples of the brunette type
of beauty; those of England and Ger
many of the blonde type.
America is mixture of all types, as a
mixture of all nations. The true Amer
ican type of beauty has hair soft and
brswn, eyes of gray or blue. complexion
rather white, clear, and de void of rich
color, and features net by any means as
regular as those Of other types of beau
ty, but possessing far more expression.
