EXPERIENCED WOMEN WHO MAKE UP.
I've got to say something about make
up--it Is the rule rather than the exception
here, the exception being the woman who
does 1t well. You can use whatever kind
of rouge you prefer, but do, dear Madem-
oiselle Frivolity, put it on properly, and
don't buy dead-white powder for a skin
that inclines to be yellow If you do you
will simply present the appearance of hav-
ing been whitewashed pale blue. That
sounds like bull, but it is not, for the
white shows and the blue seems to peek
out from under it. Did you ever notice a
woman with a good color on her face?
She doesn flush just under the eyes In a
round spot-the glow extends far over on
each side of her cheek, the lobes of her
ear grow little pink and so does the tip
of her chin, her nostrils and the lower part
of her forehead. Remember this when
you sit down to put your rouge on-apply
It carefully either with the softest of linen
cloths-an old handkerchief is best-or a
sponge, as you use either dry or liquid
rouge. Use your powder with equal deft-
ness, remembering that you want to make
your colors blend until veritable flesh
tint Is achieved.
The value of liquid rouge is that it can
be touched and will not come of-a good
rubbing with soap and water being re-
qulred to remove it; at the same time I'M
less you are an adept In the art of makeup,
stick to the dry rouge, for too much on can
be quickly wiped off with handkerchief,
while once the liquid rouge is ON, it is
difficult to get it off quickly and needs to
be shaded with hard powder. As for your
eyes, you had better let them alone The
painted eyes ! have seen here made me
shudder and think of Jezebel, and oddly
enough, it is usually very young girls who
make such atrocious pictures of themselves
pictures done by hand and after the style
of the Impressionists. 1t seems all right
to them In their looking-glasses, but it s
anything but all right out in the sunshine.
If a woman makes up her mind that she is
going to make up her face she will show
wisdom If she goes to somebody who really
understands it and then learns exactly what
she should do. Once commenced she
can't stop, and so she might as well con-
clude that to do it we'll is wisdom, while to
do 1t Ill IS announcing to the world at large
not only her imperfections of skin but her
lack of brains.
WORD FOR THE JEWS.
| want to say something else, because |
have been moved to do it by what have
seen here about the Jews And this is it:
do think, without any exception, they
are the best people In the world for look
ing after their own, and If the men of
other races were one-half as careful there
would not be women and children with
no one to provide for them, or poor rela-
tons who did not know where to turn
Then, too, as in contrast to Gentle chill
dren at the watering places, the Jewish
ones are a thousand times more polite,
obey what is said to them by their parents,
and show consideration for each other,
even In their play, that is very desirable.
| heard one say to her little sister, do
you think it's polite to be cross because
you lost at croquet and make all the rest
of us feel unhappy when we have only
been PLAYING a fair game?" The van
pushed one frightened up at this and
apologized to all the other little girls and
new game was started. never heard
Jewish child speak an impudent word,
or refuse to obey his mother, and for the
young girls it must be said that no dance
is too joyous, no frolic too gay for mamma
not to be with them in it. | like this. |

and mothers will have long days and hap
Ply ones, and | believe in giving honor
where honor is DUE Bah.
