BEAUTY MADE 10 ORDER.
A PLACE WHERE AGE AND HOME
Illness ARE DISGUISED.

Fashionable Craze-Female Compilations
Made to order-Peach Colored Checks
Seem TO Be Most In Demand-How the
Transformation Is Made.
On one Of che busiest OF the uptown thor
oughfares in this city is q store that has more
interest for many women than any other
business place in New York. Il is a shop
where women are beautfied, where under
the skilled manipulations Of hairdressers and
lotion mixers wrinkles are smoothed out
freckles are covered over and gray hairs are
changed to yellow, brown or black, as the
prevailing taste of society may be.
The usual throng of ladies In search of
having their compilations rejuvenated by ar
titicial means has steadily increased Of late
by the acquisition of numerous converts to
the ranks of this fashionable craze, and
skilled labor has been called into play to aid
tho deyotees OF the fashion. All the best
artists in that line are naturally concentrated
in New York, and the pilgrimage to the
shrine where identifying the face has reached
the highest standard of perfection includes
the young as well as the old. The latter are
in quest of the determination of troublesome
wrinkles, while society bellies long for any
thing that viii help them TO apparently re-
tain their pristine fire and luster,
As a general thing these manipulations in
the interest of artificial beauty are not con-
Quoted with any great amount of secrecy,
and a complete Transformation and pleasing
rejuvenation can usually DO secured in the
various establishments devoted to the dressing
of Indies hair. In fact, the general outfit is
not considered complete unless the bangs,
etc, have been trimmed in the prevailing
fashion.
YELLED ARRIVAL.
One day last week a well appointed
brougham, with running gear of conven-
tionnl lake color, and drawn by two spirited
bays, was driven up in front of a modest
store The well groomed footman opened
the door for lady, richly attired In velvet
and sable. TWAS impossible TO judge whether
she was young or old, for she was closely
yelled, and passed quickly through the swing
ing doors of the establishment Although
now shielded from public gazc, her courage
still deserted her, and, approaching one Of
tho young salesladies, she timidly said 81
would like to SEQ you, miss, in private on
matter Of some Importance
The young woman turned for a moment
her well poised head, and, catching the eye
of another associate, little more mature.

took place between the two women, and then

tongue and well versed In her calling, adj

her veil: ooh, to BIO sure, madam; what you
wish can be easily done.n
This explanation was apparently sufficient,
for a moment later tho stranger was con-
| Quoted to the rear of the store and shown
into a private room fitted up with velvet
| lounges and chairs. Il was one of a series Of
similar rooms, each separated from tho other
by heavy, olive colored porteres.
