A dark-haired man reclined gracefully
in an easy chair in brown stone house
in New York and said to reporter:
81 devote myself to making people
beautiful. / devote my life and mind to
practicing the arts that beautify. Every
thing concerning beauty is to me of alb
sorbing interest, and the development
of the figure. the art of pleasing, and
the mysteries of the toilet are things
that [ am constantly studying. How to
make the face beautiful, the figure SYM
metrical, the manners engaging, and to
improve the contour of the body and the
personal make up, and to turn out a per-
fectly harmonious being is worth know
ing, don't you think so?''
eyes" said the reporter, sit is.'
'sWhile it is not possible to make ev-
cry woman beautiful. it is possible to
improve almost everybody's personal
bring well-known principles of art to
bear upon nv work. For instance, it is
very we'll established fact that red
widens. Thus hatchet-faced woman
comes to me with her hair parted in the
from her forehead. Her face is too long,
too thin and too sharp. There is q
straight line that runs directly through
the part in her hair down between her
eyes and over her nose and to her chin.
In glancing at 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 / dress it
down over her temples and puff it out
above the ears, bringing it down a bit
toward her cheek. Then / take some
red and work it in heavily on her cheek
bones. After this the eyebrows are
darkened a little at the ends furthest
from the nose. The same is done to the
eyelashes, making the eyes appear
broader than they are. This simple
work changes the entire appearance of
the woman. You cannot imagine what
difference it makes Instead Of the
eye catching 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
diagonally across the face" ...-
Suppose woman with broad and
fat face asks to be made beautiful"
1T is much more difficult to handle a
broad face than narrow one. / make
theory for every woman see, and
carry it out in her individual case; but
in general 1 may say if she is blonde,
the eyebrows should be darkened near
the nose and allowed to remain light
and indistinct at the ends, Then red
should be put in front instead of at the
side, so as to increase the depth of the
face; and the hair which is now always
banged, should be arranged in ringlets,
so that the forehead may be seen through
it. This further heightens the face A
woman with a fat face should always
part her hair in the middle.
81 have always been very successful
in reducing and building up fat people.
Numbers of ladies come here in THEN
carriages every day. / Ihave q number
of cases now that are being reduced at
the rate of six pounds w eek. Again,
in making thin people fat use medi-
cine of my own invention.
Il do not pretend to have original
creation in everything, For instance,
have photographs Of Betty Rigl, the
actress, and often make women up after
her, because she has such bright and
cheerful face Then / have Maud
Granger's pictures before me constant
ly, because she has such perfect arms.
Then here, you see. the pictures Of
Queen Elizabeth, which keep for her
elaborate coiffure and the artistic use OF
laces. Here is another picture OF q
Southern woman of my acquaintance,
whose shoulders have beautiful slope,
and in these photographs Of Nine. Rec
amier there are superbly arched brows
and beautiful eyes. IN Y. Sus. -
