HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
The Secret of Ex-Empress Eugenie's
Perpetual Youth.
New York Journal.
Seated in little box of a room Just large
enough for toilet stand, mirror and
chair, the artist in compilations begins her
task by remarking:
''Ah, madame, you have not taken care
of your face. See, you have little crows
feet round your eyes. The skin is dry and
harsh; you have no color in particular"
Eyes" looking in the glass. ''You have
poor subject to operate on"
You shall see in one hour how pretty 1
shall make you. You will not know your
SELF" said the young woman, tying towel
about the patients shoulders, then gently
washing her face with soft water and an
amber-colored soap in which there is no
alkaline and rubbing it with fine towel.
Confess, madame! Have you not used
the powders and stuffs sold in the shops to
improve your complexion"
Certainly, face powders-such as all
women use."
ooh, it is shameful, wicked, to sell these
balms and white powders. They are full
of mercury that is absorbed by the blood,
and that eventually gets into the bones.
Let me show you how drop of ammonia
will turn teaspoonful of famous balm
black in moment"
The artist poured the material in question
into a saucer, added the ammonia, and it
became jet black instantly.
The patients face being dry, the artist
proceeded with her manipulations. Wetting
a sponge with preparation called MAMA
Dura, white creamy substance, she APP
piled it to the face. neck and ears of the
subject, who asked meekly if this was the
famous preparation invented by Eugene or
Nine. Jumel.
This is Nine. Jumers receipt. 1t is
intended as a face wash for the
night. to soften and whiten the
skin and to remove wrinkles and
discolorations. After washing your face
on retiring cover it with Mama Dura,' and
then put on your beauty mask" Here the
artist produced white cloth mask lined
with white cotton flannel.
'Oh, 1 cannot breathe!" said the patient,
putting it on for moment
THAT is nervousness. You would soon
become accustomed to it. Thousands of
women use the toilet mask. Jumel
had beautiful complexion to the
day Of her death, and she was very
old when she died. She used this
cream to keep her youthful in appearance.
Old men will tell you how daZzlingly fair

feet, so veXatious and enduring under any
other treatment"
The artist poured a few drops of the
Dura in saucer, adding a drop of ammo
MIA. The substance remained white. A
| greenish white paste was then laid about
the patients mouth, the artist say ing as she
used it:
This is to take away superf1ous hair.
| You have delicate little beard coming
madame, and hair on woman's face is
so ugly. This paste must dry, so L shall
amuse you meanwhile by telling you some
thing. Ask some questions if you like"
DO many women of responsibility come
h ere for this sort of thing?" said the pa
tient.
''Well, madame, you would be astonished

social standing. And why not? Is there
any harm in a wOman'S desire to look as
well as possible? Does she not use every
art of dress to consummate her elegance of
form? Why not beautify her face, her
hair. her hands, and feet!'
But nature when unadorned,' etc."
"Oh, don't believe in that sentiment at
all. Art is often more attractive than ma
ture and more complete. Painters make
sketches of nature and combine the best of
them in pictures-but the 'Kusma' is dry
and l will wipe it off,"
The little hairs round the mouth and
chin were gone, leaving the skin as smooth
as that of a newborn babe. Then a soft
linen cloth removed the shiny traces Of the
''Dura."
Madame, you are now as though you
had Weakened in the morning, Battle your
eyes and your mouth. but don't use soap.
There, am ready for you. See how
much softer your face looksI'
Here she produced pure white liquid
and slowly applied it to the face-glvlng
! it a pale delicateltint.
''This is Eugenie's secret of beauty; we
| purchased it from her and now send it all
over the civilized portions of the globe"
Next little spong wet with extract of
rose was touched to the cheeks near the
eyes, the lower part of the chin and the
lobes of the ears, giving a subdued but ex-
quisite coloring. A pencil dipped in Indian
Fard" was passed over the eyebrows and
the eyelasheS.
''Ah, now look at youSelf-you are ten

can tell you of actresses who owe their
beauty to me. Langtry has just sent an
order for my white cream. She came here
| regularly when in New York for treatment
for her complexion. Lillian Russell, Min
nie Palmer and other noted women of the
stage have and are doing the same.'
But it is such trouble to be beautiful
in this way" said the patient, staring at
her vision in the mirror with some surprise.
The artist was impatient.

pretty as possible? A French woman
uses every art of the toilet to heighten her
beauty. The Turkish women also use the
arts of the toilet to perfection. We have

spite of this dreadful climate by little

The patient left madame with leather
bag laden with beautitiers, costing 81 each,
and the memory of an odd experience.
