| Wrinkles, Broadens or NarrOws Faces
and Constructs Fine Compilations.
A dark-hai man reclined grace
fully in an easy-chair in brown-stone
house in New York and said to Sun
reporter:
II devote myself to making people
beautiful. 1 devote my life and mind
to practicing the arts that beautify.
Everything concerning beauty is to
me of absorbing Importance, and the
development of the figure, the art OF
pleasing, and the mysteries of the toilet
are things l am constantly studying.
How to make the face beautiful, the
figure symmetrical, the manners en-
gaging, and to improve the contour OF
the body and the personal make up
and to turn out a perfectly harmonious
being is worth knowing, don't you
think SOP"
"Yes," said the reporter, /" it is"
"While it is not possible to make
every woman beautiful, it is possi-
BILE to improve almost anybody's per-
sonal appearance. In improving the
face bring well known principles Of
art to bear upon my work. For in
stance, it is well established fact that
red widens. Thus a hatchet-faced
woman comes to me with her hair
parted in the middle and drawn back
on either side from her forehead Her
face is too long, too thin and too sharp.
There is a straight line that runs di.
rectly 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 woman 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 the
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 from the nose.
This always increases the impression
of width. 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
runningin sympathy with this part di-
agonally across the face.
"Suppose woman with br ad and
| fat face asks to be made beautiful p
" 1t is much more difficult to handle
a broad face than a narrow one.
make theory for every woman see,
ana carry it out in her individual case;
but in general l may say if she is
blonde the eyebrows should be dark
ened near the nose and allowed to re-
main light and indistinct at the ends.
Then some 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
lie arranged in ringletS, so that the
forehead may be seen through it. This
further heightens the face. A woman
with fat face should always part her
hair in the middle.
II have also been very successful in
reducing and building up fat people.
Numbers of ladies come here in their
carriages every day. | have number
OF cases now that are being reduced
at the rate of six pounds week.
Again, in making thin people fat use
a medicine of my own invention"
"What sort of people come to you?'
"All sorts. Many women who are
evidently in fine society, but are not as
beautiful as they wish to be, come
here. Also many who would be pretty
but for one or two defects. Some of
them have dark spots on their arms or
shoulders. bleach them. Others
have moth spots, sallowness, freckles.
| simply make them beautiful Others
have what they call expression wrinkles
that is, when they smile too much,
little wrinkles will come in the corners
of the mouth or up about the eyes.
These are usually ladies who have adj
yanced to middle age, and it affords
me great satisfaction to mitigate their
Affections. Beside this, / often color
the eyebrows and eyelaShes of light
haired women. Then, too, | bleach
the hair or darken it, and make the lips
red. l have also been successful in
enameing but, und rstand, l do not
pretend to make the enamel perma
nent. 1t never lasts more than three
or four days. 1t covers any blemishes
completely and produces a beautiful
complexion, 1t is harmless beautifier,
but | do not recommend it for con-
tiI Iued use. Then there is a good deal
done in penciling the eyebrows. The
Iarest effects are obtained by mingling
black and brown Vivacity of ex-
preston can be given to the tamest
face by skillful penciling in colors. l
