moist forefnger. Succeeding this Is the
use of dry rouge, which is a matter re-
quiring both artistic taste and great
discretion. An oval face demands the
least study. A short face must be
heightened by the extension of the
color toward the neck. The check
bones of n long face should be we'll
rouged, and the color applied over the
eyes, unless they are quite prominent,
in which case the rouge should be more
sparingly employed. A large nose
needs delicate tint, as does a sharp or
a receding chin. A small nose may be
white. Dimples are accentuated by the
dainty use of India ink, or if Cupid has
failed to imprint them, very perfect
imitation can be produced by more
free use of the same. A delicate color
