Just then timid knock was heard a.
the door, and in walked damsel of tvyan.
ty, beautiful as Venus, with four or five
of the lovliest dimples showing in ber
round cheeks and chin as she smiled
prettily at the maker of these charms
Surely she had not come for artificial
dimples.
II wanted to show you how well tbe
dimples were getting on" she said, in a
low tone. "You see, at first | thougbt
they could not possibly amount to any.
thing they were so sore and looked So
disagreeable, but now l think they are
lovely" and she smiled at her own reflec-
ton in large mirror opposite, and then
smiled again with delight as the dimples
came.
The dimple maker made a careful ex.
animation of the little 1imples, and after
paying a bill of 800 cash the young ladv
departed"
How much do you charge to make a
dimple?" was asked.
well, that depends greatly on the per
son, whether the skin is tough and hard,
and other accidents. My lowest charge
for a single dimple is so, but when l
make several on one face the bill is, of
course somewhat reduced. 1t takes about
two weeks to make a proper dimple.
First | must get the cuticle in proper
condition; then the operation, removinga
part of the flesh and putting back the
skin is accomplished, and that is, of
course, the most difficult part of the pro-
cess. About ten days are required to
completely heal the dimple, and during
that time the patient must be very careful
not to smile at all or the dimple may be
entirely ruined"
"What kind of people come to me to
have dimples made? Every kind, almost,
although you would not think so. l had
a lady of fortyfive here yesterday, and
she gave me an order for two dimples,
one in the chin and one in her left cheek
She expects, [ rather think, that they will
aid her matrimonial prospects. Then l
had a nursemaid last week who paid me
SO for handsome dimple in her left
cheek. The majority Of my patients are
however, young girls who consider them
selves handsome, but not bewitching
enough. / have had five men come to me
for dimples, four wanting them in the
chin and one in the cheek. Do l ever
make scars. Well, not very often.
have refused to make dimples for two or
three people in Paris because they had
such tough skins, but Americans are more
fortunate in that respect"
The reporter noticed several boxes
filled with short curls of hair, some Jet
black and others golden brown.
II get that hair from the barber shops
he said in answer to an inquiry. 1T
comes from the'curly pate of some young
fellow and is then used by me to make
long curling lashes on some fair maiden"
1t may not be amiss to suppose that a
young lady might be wearing her lovers
hair for eyelashes and he be none the
wiser.
Making long eyelashes is much more
delicate and dangerous operation than
making a dimple. II seldom disturb the
underlid,' said the little man, because it
is apt to injure the eye. First remove
the old eyelashes one by one, and as each
one comes out put in its place long
curling one; then when they are all in |
trim them off evenly, and put a little
vaseline about the edges. If the lashes
are not there at all l have to puncture
little holes in the lid to insert new ones,
and then the operation is far more pain
full and requires greater skill"
As the reporter rose to take leave
young lady of handsome appearance en-
tered the room. She had auburn hair,
snowy complexion, and would have been
beautiful but that her blue eyes were
shaded by lashes almost white.
II want to know" she said, IF | could
have dark lashes put into my eyelids in
place of these?"
Yes, madam, l can do that said the
little dimple maker, but it will be pain
full operation"
The COST"
"Well, 81 for each eyelash, but | would
attempt to touch the under ones, bat you
can easily keep them darkened with char
COAL
The bargain was made, the young lady
agreed to come next day for the opera
ton.
DO you think such business a.
yours is likely to Tourists" asked the re-
porter.
"As long as dimples and long eyelashes
are considered beautiful. l don't expect
to make my fortune cut of it, but | enjoy
in making people beautiful, and then
have Z monopoly in New York, and
