feature, tur riing her face this way aall
that as If what she saw was sometime
quite new to her. Then the sweet airi
begits to undress. She takes off her
waist, views ior a moment her rgattc
neck and arms, then she slowly slil,s
out OF her shirts and dons a silken robe
de chambre-foi. our girl is very swell.
Ihe robe is loose, of pink. bluc or

the hair-pins come out, and down falls

And now she takes n bit of silk and
draws it carefully between her teeth. 1t

brush can't reach; then she takes q
little orange-wood stick, dips it into
little round silver thing that holds
powdered orris root, and proceeds to
scour each individual tooth. after which
the toothbrush and a cup of warm,
water finish the operation She would
rather do this evety night than pay
dentists bills, she says.
OF course, the bath is the most essen
tial thing about the toilet, but our girl
takes hers in the morning. She does
wash her hands and face. however,
with water as hot as she can bear it..
She uses flannel doth and holds IL
several minutes against every part Of
her face and neck.
Miss Sallie Hargous who is famous for
her peachy skin, says that she owes IL

her maid combs her hair. And Miss
Dorothy Dene, the young English
actress, sits in bed until one o'clock in
the morning with novel in her hand
and big plate of cake Oil her lap. She
reads the novel and eats The cake; and
the most astonishing part of it is, not
that she doesn't have indigestion, but
that she doesn't die, for with the cake
she drinks quantities of chocolate.
And now, out goes the light and down
goes the curtain. The scene is done.
