NEW YORK, December 5.-The woman
of to-day is the orchid amor G foweis. She
is the result of years of education and the
T. lection of the finest civilization. She
realizes that there is grade even among
orchids, and she sspires to be the most
beautiful of he7 kind. This is tight and
womanly. The woman who, sdored BY
men, is perfect in her appearance, who
knows how to make herself suited to time,
place and people, is the woman who is al
ways, ike the extra of newspaper, just
half an hour ahead Of erythiug else
The rerita6le woman of the world, or thai
rather pretIier name, the mondaine, scents
a new fashion as she does perfume, snd
realizes that while certain ones have sweet
ness of violet or the fetching odor Of
roponsx, Others are to be seorned as the
heavy scent of musk or the vulgar one of
Jockey Club. To-day La Mode demands,
as she did in the days Of good Queen Anne,
that where the rose does no. bloom on the
cheek it shall be supplied by arti6cs, aud
that the brow not ss white az the lily shall
be sk' llfnlly made to look so. For long
time there existed an idea that to make up
was yugar-so it is when it is badly
done. To day the absolutely clean face is
unknown amocg our English cousins, but
there are no women in the world who
make up with such awkwardness as they
do. Powder lavishly spread upon the face,
dab Of rouge under each eye and Jumps
of black thick on the brows and lss5es is
the combination which they call false and
which decaives nobody.
HOW WOMEN MAKE Up"
Here it is not only possible to learn just
how 20 make up, but one may be among
the mauy who are visited eyey morning
by the professional maker up, who usually
by the by, combir hair dressing with her
other art, for art it s, iuasmuch es-the best
among these visiting beautifiers knows ex-
actly how to discriminate between the
dark and the light beauty, and the woman
who will be under the sunlight or under
the gaelight. will tell you Just how she
works: Fret of all, there is demanded a
clean face; and, without being unkind to
women, want to say that very few OF
them know how to wash their faces, not
only go they will be clean, but so the skin
will remain white, firm and tight-th' g
tightuess preventing wrinkles. Here is
the recipe: Fill large bowl foil OF hot
water-I mean hot, net tepid; then battle
ycuc face thoroughly, using for this pur-
rose your hands, which have been called
by scientist wa3hrsg with brain in it,
Don't Just give your face dab or two,
but let it know what bath means; then,
while it is still feeling the effect of the hot
water, give it another bath in cold water;
then dry it with a soft towel. Do not be-
Iieve for an instant that rough towels are
good for fine skin; you might Just az well
use curTyctmb to Keep your bang IN
order.
Now comes the time for The make up.
THE FACE IS SOFTLY WIPED
with a linen cloth IAN old handkerchief is
oftenest used on which has been poured a
mixture of ely cerine and rosswater. Then,
with a chamois skin and great evenness is
soft powder applied. Be sure that the
forehead is not forgotten, because ii il is it
will have the effect of looking unwashed.
Then the crsyon pencil, softened in the
gag, is drawn over the eyebrows, if neCes
ssry, and very delicate line on the lower
lid. If by accident either Of these are too
heavy, do not attempt to rub it off with a
cloth, but use instead bit Of tissue paper,
which will renoveit very quickly. If the
| oval ho, &c do
sired. darken the skiu just little on the
outer c)rner. If!he eyebrows have been
heavily put on, a natural effect is gained
by going over them with the coarse part OF
comb, exactly as if hair, rather than
crayou, was there. Last OF all apply your
ro1gs. Linen cloths are KEEP: for this, and
it is put on rather far up and we'll under
the eyes, for it t:nds to make them bril-
liant. A little dab of it must be on the
chin, because when one finishes naturally
color will always come there. Ityou put
on too much rouge ard want to tone 1t
down, use powder for thu purpose. This
method of application means, of course,
saucer rouge" which is the least harm
less; indeed, is entirely harmless If it is
properly removed, and the method should
be 10 give the face Just before going TO bed,
a bath similar to that which 1t had in t lie
morning. When liquid rouge is chosen il
is put on before the powder, bottle full
oft is split on dry sponge, then when il
is needed, the sponge is dampened and rub,
bed over the face, end after that what IL
known as hard powder is applied.
THE LIQUID Rouge
is a much more intense red and remains on
longer. By the way, in wearing one OF
the heavy wells, those mosquito caropies
that Jane Hading introduced into this
c ountry, very much more rogue can be
used than if an ordinary bit of illusion
came between TIE sunlight aud the skin.
French women affect an odd m IKE up; 1t
suits some ofthem and is excessively unbs-
coming to others; il consists Of making a
face look as white as death and putting q
dab of rogue Oh each nostril and the tips OF
the ears. On young woman Il e effect IS
weird-an old one is calculated to make
one believe tbers are three xes-men,
wo men and Hugs Whether it Is wrong or
light to gid refined gold or not, who can
ecide? But if it is ID be done, surely IL
is only proper that il should be done well.
About coioriug the lips. 1t certainly Is
not commendable, and curiOusly enough,
even the women who do it advise Others
never to get int the habit.
VERY FUNNY ACCIDENT
happened last winter at a reception where
q bright woman, who was out for the first
time after long illness, WAS the victim:
Just before che left home some one said
that she had batter put some color on her
