used is virtue, inartistically applied, a
vice. There is great deal in the choice
Of a powder. A brunette OF decided
type ought never use pink OF white
powder. The brunette tint is dull
cream color. Pink powder is possible
for only pale skins. Powder applied
directly to the SKIN will roughen
it, and will be sure to show.
1t should always. be preceded
by coat Of vaseline. Alter the
yaseline has been spread evenly over
the face, it should be wiped off. Then
the powder must be plentifully applied
with an old silk handkerchief or bit of
soft channels skin. The artlesS woman
forgets to powder the back of her neck
and the space back of her pretty pink
ears, and in consequence betravS the
powder OH the face by the contrast.
The surplus powder should be wiped
evenly Off. and carefully removed from
tie eyebrows and edges of the hair.
Powder thus put on never rOughens the
skin. The least harmful way of bright
ening the eyes for the occasion is to eat
lump of sugar OH which few drops
of cologne have been poured.

Nothing in all the catalogue of things
beautiful, is more charming than we'll
shaped bare arm-an arm with taper
toward the wrist, and not too heavy an
elbow. The present style of evening
glove is we'll calculated to display the
arm, and beautifully shaped as an arm
may be, its exposure is pleasing only
when the skin is pretty. Some arms
one sees are SO appallingly bare and red.
they make one think of a dairymaid.
One is not conscious of the shape of the
arm. One is conscious only that it is
very bare and ought to be covered.
Then again comes Juno, with marble
! pale and firm arms. Perhaps nature
made them so, and perhapS-well, this
is how it is done. The arm is polished,
ii is quite an artistic process. ami ab-
solutely requires the services of maid,
or an Obliging and energetic sister.
First coat the arms thoroughly and even
ly with cold cream. Not the connection
the chemist sells under that name, but
genuine, thick, sweet cream. Let it re-
! main OH the skin for several minutes,
ana then rub it in with the bare hand.
When the skin has absorbed all the
cream it Will take up. apply powder,
and rub it in also. When as much has
been rubbed in as will remain smoothly
on the skin. the result is a pair of white
arms, which do not seem artificially
whitened, and which will not grow red

A man has his club, his Office. the
street corner, the hotel corridor, and a
dozen other places where he may meet
and mingie with others of his sex, with
out the trammeling presence of women,
or the conventions OF general society to
check the flow of his conversation. A
woman has few opportunities for free
and frank talk with other women. At
tea fight the general ceremoniOuS as
pect of things is not conducive to free
speech, and then, too, there is usually
particularly large-eared little pitcher to
discourage any frankneSS of utterance.
Occasionally, when a car stops sud-
denly, one hears scrap of some eS-
pecially thrilling narrative, and sees
the narrator turn five distinct cOlors;
but there is really only one place where
more than two women wax confidential
regarding mankind, and things i'll gen.
eral. 1t is the Turkish bath. By the
time woman has gone through the
prOceSS-l was about to say the mill
she feels so angelically clean and COM
Portable that she is just dying to talk.
There is quite classic aspect about
room full Of women clad in sheets and
loneliness, and the knowledge that
there is not man anywhere around

to say what she thinks. Some OF the
wittiest things ever said are said there,
and one clever woman of my acquaint-
ance boldly avOws that some of her
brightest remarks ana most original
views are bodily stolen from the other
women at the Turkish bath on Satur-
days,

The breath of Easter is already in the
air. Somebody high in authority de-
clares that II is distinct vulgarity to
devote Easter Sunday to wholesale
display of new frocks and bonnets.
