t. u.r;s MORO than in New York or In

As in dress, which changes as regularly az

stance, last spring the type OF beauty thas
was all the rage was what was teii,ie" :.
he .Daniel Gabriel Rossettl style.
This type of beauty is assuredly one OF
he most peculiar known. 1t was origin
,ted nv the Princess de Sagan, who is
treat leader of fashion in Paris, and VINO
lppeared in her box at the opera one
evening gotten up in the wonderfully
striking "Daniel Gabriel Rossetti style.
The most noticeable feature of this style
If beauty is the hair, which is dyed green,
md arranged in pyramid fashion on the
sop of the head. Strange to say, the green
aair. though of course looking unnatural,
s very pretty and odd 1t is dyed the
most delicate and lovely shade OF green
known. namely, Nile-green. The COM
plexion that goes with this hair must be
ike soft, misunderstanding peach, all
cream and white. The eyes are black or
brown, the lips their natural color, and
he eyebrows dyed to match the hair.
Floating gowns, white in color, and COM
POSED of airy, fairy tulle, or fallle, are
always worn withSthis type of beauty.
E-ery woman in Paris had the mania for
ppearing like a "Daniel Gabriel Rossettl
beauty " for while, but at present in
Paris, which, by the way, Victor Hugo
>alls the center of civilization green
Yhair reigns no more, and Dame Fashion
dictates that her daughters shall now APP
pear in as many different styles of beauty
Es possible, believing, no doubt, that
s'variety is the spice of life"
In New York, for the past two sea-
sons, there has been great rivalry exist
INC between the lovely blonde and dar-
ling brunette beauties The war still
wages furiously, and it is hard to tell at
the present moment which is tocome out
victorious. and whether blonde beauties
Or their darker sisters will lead fashions
this winter, and which will be the more
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 violets complexion rare and
white, with a delicate flush on the
cheek and light eyebrows the color of
the hair. True blondes never have dark
eyebrows.
If woman has all the above require
ments that go to make up blonde, and
dark or black eyebrows, her beauty comes
under another type, known as the . Van
Dyke blonde of which Lady Handle
vile is one of the most striking examples
we have ever seen. Her hair is a won
lerful yellow, her complexion fair as
lily, and her eyes black as sloes, with
eyebrows to match. The Evan Dyke
olonde' is type of beauty not often
seen. 1t is considered by far the more
1istingue type.
Although almost everybody knows
what is requisite to be true brunette,
there are still few who are not even yet
educated up to it, and who call woman
who has dark clear skin, ''cheeks like
roses and lips like the cherry, = hair
purplish black, and dark gray eyes, bru-
aette. No woman is a true brunette
who has not very brown or very black
eyes.
What is known as the a. Irish type of
beauty is one of the loveIiest. No eye is
so blue, so large, so expressive, or so
heavily fringed as that OF the possessor
Of this type; no hair is so glossy and
dark and heavy; no complexion so rosy
and healthful, and to people LII general
this type is the most bewitc1ing and
fascinating.
A type of beauty that hns had its day,
but of which we see representatives oc
casIonally, is what is known as the
q strawberry blondes" BricI-red hair
blue eyes and fair, pink compilation, are
the accomplishments of this type. The
yellow blonde is another Tyre which
is rapidly gong out of fashion, and ''yel-
low blondes" are seldom. seen now ex-
cept on the stage.
The daughters of Spain and Italy are
the best examples of the brunette type of
beauty; those of England and Germany
Of the blonde type; those of Southern
Ireland Of the Irish type, and those of
Greece of the Van Dyke type.
Here In America we have a mixture of
all types, as we have mixture of al
nations. The true American type of
| beauty. however, is neither of the blonde
nor brunette, Van Dyke nor Irish, Daniel
Gabriel Rossetti, strawberry or yellow
blonde types The true American beauty
has hair soft and brown, eyes of gray or
blue, complexion rather white, clear and
devoid of rich color, and features not by
any means as regular as those of the other
types of beauty, but possessing far more
expression.
