Beb'S New OK LetIer-
An older romance that has the charm
Of fiction about it is told of Mrs. Willie
K. Vanderbilt. She was here after her
father had lost his money, with some
friends. when the announcement that
the rich son OF William Vanderbilt
would arrive that evening was made.
OF gowns she had but few-mOst Of
them had been woFn-and she did think
that she could make an impression on
any man if only she had a tFOck TO wear.
one OF her friends volunteered TO lend
her 2 yellow silk. With great delight
II was accepted. but the beauty's eyes
filed with tears and her lip quiyered
with diSappOiutm ent when she dlSeOY-
cred that on one side of the bodice and
far down on the skirt extended wine

girl? Certainly not. When the time
came and the gown was put on she took
a black lace shawl. that by some mistake
had been put among her things, draped

ing il on the head and on one shoulder
with amber pins. An admirer had sent
her a bunch OF yellow roses, and with
these and her black fan her costume

she conquered. The wicked friend

the defects OF the gown or the lovely
picture she presented when she stood
before Mir. Vanderbilt, and the look

eyes. / don't know whether this story

INEXPERIENCED WOMEN WHO MAKE UP.
I've got to say something about make
up-it is the rule rather than the eXcep-
tiOn here. the exception being the wom-
an who does it well. You can use what
ever kind of rouge you prefer. but do,
dear Nile. FriyOlity. put it on properly,
and don't buy a dead-Wlite powder for
a skin that inciines to be yellow If
you do you will simply present the APP
pearance of having been whltewaShed
a pale blue. That sounds ike bull,
but il 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't flush just under the eyes in
round sp0t-the glow extends far over
Oh each side of her cheek. the lObes Of
her ears grow little pink and so does
the tip of her chm. her noStrilS and the
lower part of her forehead. Remember
this when YOU sit down to put your
rogue On-apDly it carefully either with
the sOftest Of linen cloths an old hand
kerchief is best-Or a sponge, as you
use either dry or liquid rogue. Use
your powder with equal dizziness, re-
Numbering that you don't want to look
pink in one spot and dead white in
another, but that you want to make
your two cOlOrs blend until Yeritable
flesh tint is achieved.
The value OF liquid rouge is that 1t can
be touched and will not come off-a good
rubbing with soap and water being re-
Guired TO remove it; at the same time,
unless you are an adept in the art of
makeup. stick TO the dry rouge, for too
much on can be quickly wiped off with
a 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 have made me shud-
der and think of JeZebel, and, oddly
enough. it is usually very young
girls who make such atrociOus
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 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 under
stands it. and then learns exactly what
she should do. Once commenced she
can't stop. and so she might as we'll
conclude that to do it well is wisdom,
while to do it i'll is announcing to the
world at large, not only her imperfec-
tons of skin, but lack of brains.
