DERMAToLoGIo TREATMENT.

Why should any woman be an I'M
pleasant reflection to herself in the mir
ror, is the query of varied curists of the
day. There are tonicS, to fatten and
exercises to reduce; athletics to pro-
duce strength and color and dyes to
subdue or brighten the shade of ones
hair.
Is the complexion bad? Then cos
metics and coloring matter are pushed
aside to give way to massage and
steaming, for the method of personal
art is growing more healthful every
day. The manicurist and the hair
dresser care for the two eXtremities in
an artistic manner and the curves that
nature or gymnastics. have not suffi-
ciently developed are left to the art of
the couturiere and the souths staple
production. But while woman is given
figure, complexion, and coloring COM
plete, ones features remain often a
serious blemish.
Just here is where the surgical cur
list the dermatologist, steps in.
These promoters" of good looks
claim TO arrange harmonious contour
in the features that nature thought
wise to neglect.
Should the forehead wrinkle, small
Sits are made at the junction where
the hair grows and the skin pulled up
smooth and taut, and a bit of adhesive
plaster put on; and the wound soon
heals. If the cheeks are inclined to be
''saggy," wrinkle deeply about the
mouth and seem to lack muscle, the
little incisions are made in the extreme
outer face of the cuticle by the ears
and the same method employed. These
bits of neat surgery require skill, but
are not dangerous, as the operation is
confined entirely to the top layer and
not extending to dangerous depths.
Also, the marking leaves no scar and
the pain is incidental.
However. these are the simpler
operations. For the changing of the
features more skillful and compromis-
ing treatment is advanced. Ones nose
can be enlarged or narrowed, the ears
can be put at a different angle, the
eyebrows be thickened or thinned, and
the eyelashes made longer. This is done
by fine instruments, and in case Of
those sufficiently venturesome to try
the experiments The result has been
most satisfactory to patient and der
matologist
A nobler test of the curist's art is to
punctuate the eyes with harmless SC
luton that broa&ens the color line or
deepens it, as the case is desired. This
is an operation that is doubtful and
been tested by a minority only.
Puncturing the cheeks with solu-
ton Of rosaline and glycerine with
other component parts that are not
given way by the preparer is a trick
of the trade that is more popular
Small needles are used and the color
ing matter injected under the epider-
mis- produces a roseate glow that per-
vades for at least a year.
As to the wisdom of these proceed
ings toward personal adornment the
individual must choose. One may ques-
ton the judiciousness of the course,
but the fact exists that it is done.

Thus, for the luncheon that was got

Delightfully."- Pretty Fancy Dresses
Are Made OF the Improved Crepe
Paper.


There is a new wrinkle in dresses.
AS a matter of fact they are all
wrinkles, for they are made from the
pretty crepe tissue paper that is far
more crumpled than the horn of the
cow that figures in the tale Ef the
house that Jack built.
Latest of all, a clever modiste, who
had an order to produce something
unique in dress for fancy costume
party, where the gowns are all to be
artistic and not comic, has made a
dream of dress of the new American
paper crepe, which costs 80 cents
a bolt or roll.
The model has for a skirt lining a
dainty white lawn petticoat with lace
frills about the foot As the tissue
skirt is attached to it at the belt
and is tackled here and there below
with easily removable threads, the pet
ticoat, after serving its assumed pur-
pose as lining, will, with few
shipped threads, be intact for its origi-
nal use. The bodice lining is a ready
made corset cover of fine muslin
which can be had in any Of thes shops
for a quarter in good fitting pattern
The fair wearer is to impersonate

gown is made of the white crepe paper
with garnitures of ede1weisse bios
SONS, a suggestion of the palest pink
being introduced to suggest the blush
Of the dawn upon. the pure beauty OF
the snowy edelWeisse.
Each bolt of the crepe supplies for
thirty cents three and a third yards
twenty inches wide. The flowers can
be had already made, or made 10
order, from any one of the now numer-
Gus manufacturing artists in creme
paper, or deft hands can make them
at home. For flower making it is eco
nomical to buy the small pieces which
measde 1OX1S inches, and sell for So
cents a dozen.
The edelweisse dress is not scanned
up in either skirt or bodice. for al
though the paper fibre is surprisingly
tough, prettier effects are had BY
catching the seams together, as in this
instance, with knots of tiny blossoms.
The pale pink Is. introduced down one
side of the skirt under overlapping
breadths Of the white, which are held
by trailing clusters Of the flowers

enough to be the real Alpine beauties
The bodice is low with a tiny fuch-

low puts it. The table is shaped like
the royal Louis VII badge, and is laid
with white with a valenee of gold

Can ordinary cloth cannot be spread
over these odd-shaped tables.)
Another charming idea for a lunch
con to one who has been bit of a
firt is to use fan-shaped table The
guests sit on the side representing the
top Of the fan The sticks are made
by ribbons of delicate tint and har-
monizing shades ending in one large
bow upon standard representing the
meeting point of the sticks The space
under the ribbons. is turned into bed
of moss and ferns, and thrust into this
bank are long-stemned American
beauty roses, that peep through the
ribbons to nod fragrantlv at the other
beauties on the opposite side of the
table.

INDIAX SIMMER.

Now brutal winds have ceased to rage
Amid the Autumn bowers
And icy brooks and sodden fields
Are graves Of vanished flowers.
Ger sedgy rill and dreamy glen
A mystic presence broods,
And vague and unimagined sounds
Invade the SOmtudes.
The clouds that dot the heavenly meads
Like spectres flee away,
And fish, within the sluggish tarns,
Might now be heard at play
No butterfly is on the wing,
No erickets sing or leap,
And in the weird and tender light
The languid valleys sleep.
Before the blaze the farmer basks,
From harvest toll set free;
And in the wood the squirrel peeps,
From out the hollow tree.
While one complains of scanty yield
With all his barns aglut.
The other, in his messy lodge,
Contented, cracks a nut.
Where late the waving grain
Upreared its myriad golden spears
The glory of the plain.
Along the roofleSs woodland aisles
The robin family calls;
And monkish rabbits leap and stare
At every leaf that falls.
Now forests gleam through amber mists.
Like pilgrims gray and old;
And cliffs and barren hills are changed
To temples rooted with gold
Each morn doth seem a sybPs dream,
And when the days expire,
The west is filled with phantom ships,
That sail on seas of fire.
But soon the rut1iian winds will take
The cedars by the throat;
And rain, and hail, and deadly frost. D
Ger field and forest gloat;
And fog, and damp, and gHttering ice,
All things in ruin merge,
And crows croak out on blasted pines

An elderly lady, already in the car,

bronze black hair were transflxed with
a happy tortoise shell pin Of wriggly
shape: the brow under the shadow OF
her hat was broad and Junoesque, and
the eyes beneath the shadow of her
brows ware like two limpid brown pools.
