If you want to put on powder proper
ly, SO that it will be a beautifer, don
smear yonr face with it hurriedly, don't
leave it in small patches on your nose or
your forehead and slight entirely your
chin and that part of your face close to
your hair. After washing the face in
tepid water dry it thoroughly. There
will still be an almost imperceptible
dampness lingering which will make a
slight application of pure, cold cream q
refreshment. Wipe this off thoroughly,
for the pofes will still be full, 50 that
no harm will result from the powder.
Then brush back the hair carefully and
with chamois or a piece of old silk
stocking apply the powder delicately all
over the face, on the eyelids, temples.
ears, and graduate it down over the
throat. Only little should be used,
and that Of the best.
If you want to make a good impress
sion on a new acquaintance. induce the
person, if a man, to talk of himself; if a
woman, to talk of her rivals. In the lat
ter case you will have an opportunity to
show her suggestively how much more
you admire her.
1t you possess youth and want to get
rid of premature double chin, pinch
it methodically, untiringly, every night.
The same rule applies to any part of the
body where the flesh has accumulated
aggressively.
If you want to make pretty and ef-
fective divan and have not the money to
pay for frame and spring, try the fol-
lowing: Take some starchboxes and
nail them together till they are of the
length wanted; cover them all over with
large amount of cotton batting until
the sides and top are thickly and softly
cushioned. Over this spread rug or
Bagdad strip or the blue jean that takes
embroidering SO prettily.
If you want to pay off horde of So
cial debts and have not time or perhaps
the money to entertain much or lavish
ly, give two teas during a winter.
These may be simple, cozy affairs or
high teas with bouillon and ices. Ask
everybody.
If you want to be graceful, practice
walking with heavy weight on the
head, the arms hanging supinely at the
sides. The effort to sustain the weight
teaches a good carriage of the head; the
effort to keep the arms quiet and limp
teaches repose, so much needed by
American women. Another thing, at
each step let the foot touch the ground
easily and slowly from heel to toe This
gives elasticity and cures the abomina-
BILE habit of walking on the heels.
If you want to succeed, be persever-
ing. To attain this virtue you must
first have implicit confidence that you
are on the right road, cultivating your
best talent, providing you have more
than one. Once you feel positive Of this,
pugnacious hopefulness and courage
must land you at the goal. Each disap-
pointment you will look back upon as
part of your mental development, and
you will be more fit in consequence to
sustain reputation, small or great.
If you want a photograph that will
look like you, do not hesitate to touch
unerring lens of the camera This is
not seeking to give false impression.
The best photographers insist upon it.
Why? Because too frequently the deli
cate, natural curves of the mouth, the
faint shadow that gives depth to the
eyes, are lost in some whimsicality of
light or shade, and pretty face comes
out on the negative lacking in the dain-
ty and particular touches that make it's
charm. By outlining the lip~ Of the
lips very family with pencil and ac-
centuating the lashes the picture be-
comes lifelike.
If men were more apt to regard wom-
en- as reasonable beings and not as
grownup children, as companions pos
sessing an intellect often more subtle
than their own, rather than as efficient
servants or housekeepers, the number Of
divorces would not be so great. The
time is past when the lord Of creation
stopped from height to marry. There
are men still who in their vapid conceit
look down, no doubt. There are few
women who look up.
