haired man reclined gracefully in his easy
chair, passed his white and manicured hand
in contempative manner over his massive
brow, and repeated: YES, sir, devote my
self to making people beautiful"
DOUBTLESS" continued the professor
you think me charlatan. 1t is somewhat
difficult to make people believe that am l
not a fraud. l have no school and am not
recognized us regular physician"
What then, is your profession!"
Briefly, | devote my life and mind to
practicing the arts that are beautiful. Every
thing concerning beauty is TO me of absorb
ing Importance. The development of the
figure, the art of pleasing and the mysteries
of the toilet are things am constantly study
ing. How to make the face beautiful, the
figure symmetrical, the manners engaging,
and to improve the contour of the body and
the personal make up, and to turn out per-
fectly harmonious being, is worth knowing;
don't you think sol"
Eyes, it isl said the reporter
"While it is not possible to make every
woman beautiful, it is possible TO improve
almost every body's personal appearance
Corporal beauty is development of face.
ner Seel There is an art in dressing the
face, just as there is in clothing the figure.
Everybody knows the arts that dressmakers
bring to their aid in making a dnmpy figure
look tall, and tail figure look dumpy-I
mean symmetrical In improving the face
bring well known principles of art TO bear
upon my work. For instance, it is q well
! established fact that red widens. Thus a
| Ratchet faced woman comes to see 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 rurs 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 that of great length and narrow
ness
| ITO make this woman beautiful first take
| down her hair and part il on one side Then
| dress it down over her temples and puff it
out above the ears bringing it down a bit
| toward her checks. Then take some red
| and work it in heavily on her check bones
| After this the eyebrows are darkened little
at the ends farthest from the nose This al
ways increases the impression OF width The
| same is done to the eyeasheS, making the
| ewes appear broader than they are, This
I simple work changes the entire appearance
| of the woman. You cannot Imagine what a
| difference it makes. Instead of the ewes
catching straight line that runs down over
her head into the chin, 1t is caught by the
hair, which p parted on the side, and follows
an imasnary line running in sympathy with
this part diagonally across the face"
Suppose a woman with broad and fat
face asks to be made beautifulT9
1T is much more difficult TO handle broad
face than a narrow one | make theory for
every woman | see. and carry il out in her
individual case But in general NAV saw,
if she is blonde, the eyebrows should be
darkened near the nose and allowed to re-
main hight 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 be arranged In ringlets, so
that the forehead may be seen through it
This further heightens the face. woman
with fat face should always part her hair
in the middle
