How did you come to think of this
unique business? I've often wondered
somebody didn't start it."
Well, I've always been fav0rite with
young girls. and have always had the repu-
tatiOn of being artistic and knowing Just
what to wear. and l have told score or
more friends what they should and what
they shouldn't wear, and, finally, when my
income failed to meet all my desires a
friend suggested that i should really make
business of my free giving advice on style
and the art OF dressing and so on. and half
in fun and half in earnest started in, and
/ now have bank account.
There is somebody now! Run behind
that screen. and if you dare to move so you'll
be heard just comfort yourself by thinking
what death you would prefer and be pre-
pared for it when You come out!'
The door opened and tall lanky girl en-
tered with a timorous air, as if she had
sneaked in to have her fortune told and
was ashamed of it.
Miss b told me about yOu and l
thought I'd like the benefit of your advice.
Miss B. says you know everything"
est down. / shall be glad to help you
and l can easily" said the beauty adviser,
with a reassurng smile. First, YOU are
what call partly invisible girl. You are
not beautiful, have not really good feat
ure, but no really bad one either. Throw
off Your jacket. Your neck is very pretty
you must make the most of it. Your hair is
drawn too closely from your forehead.

ceedipgly picturesque girl, and you in that
respect will never go out Of style, and will
not seem to age quickly li II you follow the
ringlets. Let it flutter around your ears.
There knot your hair like that" said the
beauty adviser. warming to her subject.
THAT is an individual knot. 1t is artistic
1t suits the tip of your nose; | mean the
slant of ii. Your complexion? You are
nervous and bilious. You drink too much
coffee and don't sleep enough. Take Ro-
man baths. not Turkish. Do you take Wig
orous exercise? The decompOsing exercises
of the DelSarte culture will he good for
your nervous temperament. They afford a

NOW, your dress. Take off that blue
gray, and never wear it again rs long as you
live. 1t brings out every shadow in your
face in bold relief. 1t positively seams your
face. II you wear gray at all wear silver
gray. The lightness in it brightens your
face. Wear street gown the color of your
hair. There is faint suggestion of gold in
your hair, so get golden brown. Line your
hat to match with cardinal velvet, or have
a rim of cardinal velvet to your turban. 1t

from your face so it will not cast shadow
over it.
''Your eyes, your eyes," said the little
woman, meditatively, ''are a-a-nOndescript
blue. In the house wear dull blue as
nearly their shade as you can get it, For
the evening wear soft crepe gown on
creamy tint, as nearly the tint of your CON-
plexion as you can match it. Have your
gown cut or gathered at the neck as
baby's waist is. and that will show your
neck to advantage. Always have some
sheer dainty lace fall against or away from
your neck. Do not study to make your
gowns strictly in the prevailing fashion;
you are entirely too slim 10 stand it. The
long, big sleeves are just made for you.
Now, your bearing. Lift your chest.
Let your shoulders drop. Take exercise to
give you free swing from the hips. Cos

stage artist could put rouge on you as it
should be. 1t would be perilous for you to
dab 1t on with unstudied care. One cup of
oatmeal soaked twenty-four hours in three
cups of rainwater and then mixed to cream
with almond oil would not hurt your skin
Here is the pattern for your street gown
AS soon rs you have 1t made come to see me
and | will criticize 1t free of charge. How
much are YOU indebted? Five dollars, if
yon please"
The tmorous maiden who entered went
out with fearless tread and a dull glow of
peasurable excitement on her cheek She

practice.

joyous firt of her hands the straw-colored
