| and proceeded to wash it. The only
words she uttered during the whole Jour
ney were spoken here: It's distilled
water, the best water for the skin when
! one uses SOAP With what minute care
she washed, attending particularly to the
| eyelids and nostrils The drying process
was not less infinitely gone through
l was, as the lady operated, reminded
of the elegant dAintinesS of a cat when it
washes its face with its paws. On being
washed, she took from the silver objects
suspend d from the girile small case
comb, and passed il through the short,
fine front hair which she had pushed
back IL was then ready to be curled
around her fingers. An r. A mighthave
done worse than watch how she manip-
ulated these little curls so as to throw
them into wild grace, and to give value
to the charming forehead, and piqlancy
to the physiosnomy.
Instinct alone, should say, prom Dted
the fingers as they worked Ii yltly with
the silky hair. Next, the face having had
time to dry well, the lady busted it with
the poudre de riz, wiping the powder well
near the ears and more gently farther
towards the front of the face. 1t was
, allowed to remain thickest near
the nose, though still not thick.
The little she left was really an i'm
provemont, and made her resemb BILE pas
tel Of LAtour. Somehow it brought her
! face moro into harmony with the fia-fia of
her frillings, and cleared OF just soup
con of provincial style. She was not yet
done. had noticed what had seemed to
me large old-fashioned watch hanging
from the girdle, and thought what good
effect its antique air had on this mooern
person. 1t simply contained a small
coiled up taper, few small implements
| for manicure purposes, a tiny pair of
tongs such as Spaniards use as cigarette
holders, glass tube of carmiue and an
| other of what seemed gum water In
| short, 1t held quite an arsenal of war i'm
plement> for beauty
Care had been taken in the poudre de
riz phase with the toilet of the eyelids
and crows feet that were just beginning
TO appear They, and the flesh of the
cheeks near mouth and chin, alone be-
trayed the thirty-hve years Well, the
taper was lighted, and one of the small
implements examined and discarded for
siuple hairpin, the rounded end of which
was held over the flame until il was well
covered with lampblack, when it was ap-
piled with a strong, quick dexterous
| touch to the root of each eyebrow, care
being taken to keep well in the middle
Thus applied the mark made with the
! hairpin was hidden in the somewhat
scattered hair of the brews, and did not
| show on the white skim One must have
| seen the lampblack put on TO have been
| aware of IL, so discreet was the applica-
tion. Indeed, discretion characterized
the use which had been made of all the
| dlHerent aids to nature. The carmiue was
rubbed in dry on the cartilage dividinc
! the nostrils, and but a mere trace of it
was suffered to remain. It improved the
nose by giving it more detiniteness A
| faint touch was also applied with wee

! Finally, that survival of lovely woman's
| slavery, and now her means of ambush
| the veil, was donned to blend of course
| and tone down any little crudities that
| had remained. 1t was new, of soft black
| net, and being fastened on the wide brim
! of the hat, stood out well, in covering the
! whole face from the upper part. Its ends
were dexterously twisted at the back Of
| the head, to give it a smart, shapelv air
| There was small parcel on the seat con
tanning new gloves and shoes, both of
which proved neat fits and were perfect
| in their di ferent ways An old pair of
shoes were taken of and thrown out of
the window, and the new pair well
twisted backwards and forwards until
! they were quite supple when slipped on
A final touch had yet to be given A
| lace-edged lawn pocket handkerchief that
lay in a cardboard box (which in turn
disappeared from the window with the
| dirty gloves of the early part of the Jour
ney) was folded fanwise, and the central
| point stuck in Swiss ceinture which was
held in loose corsage at the waist This
last detail gave indescribable piquancy
and freshness to the costume. We got to

Dupuy about the elections. - The lady
had come TO meet him. Probably, as she
took not so much as dressing case with
her, servants and others about her in her
provincial home would have thought she
had only gone few stations OF, TO spend
the day with some neighborly family.
She descended from the train with the
ligt1tness of a bird. The project was
respectfully empresse, but he could not
help backing few steps and exclaiming:
What witch you are, to be so fresh
looking and elegante, after that eighty
miles journey in a railway carriage, and
