The Herald has the following relative
to some of the secrets of the toilet:
First of all" said madame. seating
herself upon one of the divan-like lounges.
Il must ask you not to mention my name
in your paper. I shall be pleased to tell
YOU anything you want to know, but I do
not think my clients would like to find
that had been talking about them. do
not object to talk to you simply because l
have no secret methods. Neither l nor
nv daughters make any pretense of turn
ing ugly women into beautiful ones. nor
do we make a mystery of our processes.
What we claim to do is TO teach women
to take care of their beauty, to instruct
them in the art of making-up, where
they are in the habit of doing it; and we
can, by the use of good cosmetics, prop
erly applied, improve the features where
the features are good, and where there Is
beauty already, add to it"
You have large number of clients,
understand. madame"
w Is. OOLSuS- L4lgub say scores.
You see very few women, indeed, know
how to make up properly Nine out of
ten overdo it. l teach them refinement
of taste. OF course, it is very dim cult
for an inexperienced woman to make up
well Very few women possess a true
artistic sense of color and proportion.
For example, only few days ago we'll
known young lady, moving in the best
society. came to me. What was she like2"
exclaimed madame, with shrug of her
shoulders and look of disgust. ''Hor-
rible! Two vivid spots of rouge, hard
and as accurately defined as if put on
with a stencil, glowed upon her cheeks
in the wrong place" continued madame,
with a plying smile, for her Gype of
contour. Her lips were too red (only
pale, plump, fair women should indulge
in hibiscus red, as | call i'll, and spoilt
by careless outlining. Her eyes were
blackened far too much; her eyebrows
heavy and badly shaped. Too much
powder, blanc de perle; too much every
thing except art. None of that, alas
Il washed it all off =" said madame with
a laugh, land told her that she would let
her maid do the making up for her, or if
she could not, then send her to me for a
few lessons. 1t was because [ saw so
many badly made-up women about Paris
that five or six years ago l adopted my
present profession. Well, to resume,
made up the young lady till she was as
lovely as she ought to be, for she is ex-
ceedingly beautiful. She was delighted,
charmed. why l am positively
pretty she exclaimed when l had fin
ished. Lovely, mademoiselle. should
rather say added. In less than a week
her maid came to take lessons, and now
mademoiselle is made up as she should be.
Oh! yes, have numbers of ladies maids
who come to me for instruction, and some
young ladies who haven't maids come to
learn the art themselves"
Il suppose your chief clientele, how
ever, madame. is composed of the ladies
themselves who come to be made up as
they would go TO the hairdresSer or mas
seuse."
Exactly" replied Nine M. 81 can as
sure you that and my daughters have a
very busy time during business hours
that is, from about $50 till 30 In the
evening we are chiefly OCCUPIED at the
residences of our lady clients making
them uD for balls or the theatre OF
course we can only make up two clients or
so each IN an evening, unless, say, three
reside in the same house or the third en-
gagement is a very late one. What are
my charges, you ask2 Well, from 20 to
20 francs, supplying the cosmetiques, and
rather less where the lady has her own,
or where two engagements are in the
same house"
Makeup is carried to great lengths?"
Yes. OF course some women are al
ways made up; others only for the even
ing or on special occasions Some insist
upon the veins even of the bosom being
outlined with great care, when wearing
very decollete gowns, as those of the tenn
pies. For myself l don't think that promi-
nent veins are at all beautiful.
What do | think of cosmetiques Well
beautiful woman is beautiful enough
without them, and, once commenced,
their use must be continued that is if an
elaborate makeup is INDUCED in. There
are, however, a few simple things which
any one may use to improve her appear
ance without harm. These l always
recommend to young ladies. But I am
afraid they think them TOO simple and in
expensive to be OF much use. That is not
so, however
For example: Should the eyebrows be
required little darker or to appear a
little thicker, hold a saucer over the fame

What could be better for temporary
occasion2 [ frequently use this without
saying anything about it. Do the same
with the lashes. The effect is good, even
charming. To improve color of the lips
wet them with eau de cologne, and when
drY touch the lips with a little cream or
salve Beetroot juice is an excellent and
lnnocuous substitute for rouge. Dip a
rather thick camel s-hair brush in the
yQlce, then paint the cheek as desired.
